[Anime] Death Note

I haven't been too motivated to post it for I have less interest in it. But I guess I can think of this more like the L spinoff from the manga (bb serial killer case which i haven't read yet) . Well...I don't want to. It's only a matter of time when they make a movie out of 'How to Read 13" -_-. I'm not even anticipating this special that's coming up on the 31st as well. I'd rather have them animate the One Shot Pilot arc. It was just too fast to end. At least other SJ animes are hanging in there ^^. Naruto and Bleach don't count.

Few things :

Viz Media has confirmed the names of the voice actors for its English-language release of Death Note. Brad Swaile and Alessandro Juliani will voice the two main leads, Light Yagami and L. Swaile is well-known as an anime voice actor, having voiced Quatre in Gundam Wing, Dearka in Gundam Seed, and Rock in Black Lagoon. Juliani has also contributed his voice to numerous cartoons, videogames and anime, but has recently moved into a career as an actor. He is currently featured in the science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica, playing Lt. Gaeta.

Brian Drummond (Allen in The Vision of Escaflowne; Andy Waltfeld in Gundam Seed) will play Ryuk, while the voice actor for Misa will be Shannon Chan-Kent. Additional voice actors lending their voices to this dub will include:

Rem: Colleen Wheeler
Soichiro Yagami: Chris Britton
Matsuda: Vincent Tong
Mogi: John Murphy
Raye Penber: Michael Adamthwaite
Aizawa: Trevor Devall
Ukita: Jeremy From
Naomi Misora: Tabitha St. Germain
Ide: Brian Dobson


Several of these names were first announced at the Ocean Studios panel at Vancouver's Anime Evolution convention, which was held on August 18-20. At the panel, Ocean representatives also mentioned that they had dubbed twelve episodes of Death Note so far, and that the roles of Near and Mello were not yet cast. The first volume of Death Note will go on sale on November 20.

Out of the whole bunch, I notice only 2 legends from Ocean Group in this dub cast. Brian Drummond has always impressed me so this should kick ass. Everyone else are babies in a nutshell so we may not be happy with this . Light yagami's dub voice proves our point so far. Swaile needs to work a little more on Light if he wants me to buy the dvd. Which is a shock cause I always respected him when he played the role of Quatre(GW) and other characters like Otau Mamiya (Saber Marionette J-whatever)


The next thing I want to mention is that the RAW for that DN special came out 3 days ago. Was anyone able to see it ?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Nah, they're definately new. I've always been up on the whole voice actor thing from when they did DBZ to whatever anime . Nowadays, you don't see much talent coming from Ocean Group. They were only popular for alot of classic animes. When Toonami was an actual Anime block, they aired animes dubbed by Ocean Group and them alone besides Outlaw Star and Blue Submarine (correct me if there's more). If I remember correctly the main ocean line up used to be people such as

Richard Cox (Inu Yasha)
Scott McNeil (Duo Maxwell, Protoman,Ken,Koga)
Brian Drummond
Samantha Ferris (Sally Po)
Lisa Ann Belley (Bulma, Relena Peacecraft)
Kirby Morrow (Miroku, Trowa Barton)
Ian Corlette
Saffron Henderson (Bloodberry,Lucrezia Noin)
Brad Swaile
Mark Hildreth
Dave Kaye (Sesshomaru and Trieze )



This is pretty much shocking that Scott Mcneil isn't working a character role in Death Note. If he can, he should try doing the job of Mello. Looking at Ocean's new line up worries me but it is their first time according to Animenewsnetwork. I'll wait til there's a download for episode 1.


This is all I can get for Alessandro Juliani

Another recent role is as Koji in the English version of Ōban Star-Racers.

I forgot all about Pit in Captain N....something tells me that I shouldn't remember. However, Gambit sounded cool in X-Evolution.

Most amazing jew boots

Additional Post

Gonna bump this since its been a week. Just a reminder to everyone that Adult Swim did pick up the anime and will start airing October 20th at 12. They revealed it in one commercial then did their own personal version to take a hint at it XD.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I feel like I'm listening to a bunch of classic voice actors who've work on gundam wing >=]. You took the words outta me, X. What I like to add to the satisfaction was that Ryuk was the best part in the episode. Who else but Brian Drummond could do it? It was only meant to be since he pulled off that kind of tone when he did Vegeta in the canadian side of DBZ. Overall, its a start and things will go well. It's OG anyway ;p.

What I'm waiting for is that subbedversion of that special that came out. I only saw it RAW but I'd really like to know what Light said when he laughed at a L's grave.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thought I bring this to everyone's attention.

Japenese comic book rattles military school | NBC12 | Virginia News

It says that some military school senior was suspended for having a book titled Death Note with a list of people's name in it.

Too bad there's no picture around to see what he looks like. Fuckin queer lol.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

There was a fansub done by someone but it was available for a short period of time. I wonder why Animanda hasn't worked on it yet. Anyway, I was giving DN a watch on the Adult Swim time slot and I must say that I'm really not all into it like I used to. All I wish for is to see that Naomi and L serial killer case animated. Then I'll think about buying the US dvds someday...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Our friends Kuro-hana released the HD version of the special.

Kuro-Hana Fansubs

Im pretty sure they'll release a lower quality version for some of you who can't handle mkv types. Too bad it doesn't work on the ps3. Any idea how I can convert .mkv to mp4?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I felt it was a bit weird :

Spoiler:

At the end, Ryuk told him that he wasn't god. But who the hell was that other shinigami walking down the stairs? Was that Light? or was he just talking to himself

It was apparently something like a pilot story, and probably not really canon - though it features Ryuk. It does feature a special item though, brought by Ryuk that can be used with the Death Note.....

Spoiler:

....the Death Note ERASER!!! After killing people, you can use the eraser to rub out the victim's name. As long as the person hasn't been cremated, they will return to life..... LOL!!! Hilarious, but true....I'm not making this up!!!

Definitely worth to buy. Check it out!

Spoiler:

Ahh the Death Eraser. There was that One Shot DN manga with Taro and Ryuk in it. They also used the eraser to bring everyone back to life. That's pretty awesome.

Actually..There's another One Shot Pilot that takes place 3 years after the manga. I'll upload for everyone ASAP.

EDIT :

Death Note - 3 years Later OSP

How ya doing, buddy?

Welcome, hikarub.

Spoiler:

Yeah I felt the same way when I read it through my first run. The second time, I thought it was pretty cool. I really wanted to see how the Otaku Kira was going to handle things but since he has the mind of an otaku and just ended up killing people cause they wanted to die, Near already saw right through him. He wanted no part of it and ended up telling him how it is. Kiling himself with the death note was stupid but it shows that he had no purpose in life nor a future. Sucks for him.

It would've been better if he told the cheap-kira to meet with him and smoke some piff to get along XD.


btw hikarub, wasn't Misa's death confirmed as suicide in How To Read 13?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh well......

Spoiler:

Basically... You just have to use your imagination in the end. I kinda felt annoyed that nothing was really answered but the anime shows more than a hint is to how Misa would end her life. At the same time, she did make two or three deals with the shinigamis and that halved one too many of her life span. Dying from "natural causes" due to her death eye deals

All's well that end's well.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember reading this novel back then. I'm waiting for the next paycheck to come in so I can order both. Also , glad to know that it's in color. No wonder the cost is great ;p.

the BB Serial Killer case should be animated...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
