ANN's P.Summary

Quote:

Plot Summary: Shinigami own notebooks called “Death Notes” which are used as killing devices. Whoever’s name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuku accidentally dropped his Death Note in the human world where it’s found by honor high school student Raito. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Raito discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That’s when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.

Main Characters of the First Arc :


Raito/Light Yagami : given the name kira, Raito tested the notebook by
writing the murderer's (or anyone who commits crime) name and found out that people die in a result of a heart attack.

Shinigami Ryuuku/Ryuk : A death god who dropped his notebook and found Raito with it.
He then became Raito's partner from the very beginning.

Detective L (Ryuuzaki)

Watari : He is L's right hand man in the investigation of the kira case.
Watari is also the head of an orphanage home called the "Wammy House"

Souchiro Yagami : Other than being "One Time" (cop). he is also the father of Raito Yagami.

Misa Amane (This character shows up in Chapter 28) : After a few chapters and trouble between L ( and his crew) and Raito, A second Kira appears and puts her two cents on what she thinks of Kira.

Shinigami Remu/Rem : servant/friend/partner to the 2nd Kira (Misa Amane). a female death god who would do anything for misa and will also protect her to the very end.

EDIT For the Newcomers of Death Note, If you want to ask questions regarding 1st and 2nd arc, make sure they're in spoilers. We dont want to give away important parts to anyone who haven't read it yet./

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I believe the first 3 volumes are out now . the 4th one comes out this month i believe. Right now.. me and other die hard DN fans are in chapter 99 (The second Arc. pretty soon im going to post up the 2nd Arc characters but with a spoiler tag after the info you read up there.

i've already posted the movie site for it. I really prefer it to be animated but if they do this perfect then i wont complain. already the official site looks boring with all that sound lol.

NOTE : there is indeed a cameo appearance of Raito, L (on a bike), Misa and Souchiro Yagami in Full Metal Panic : the Second Raid. Do NOT mistake it for a DN Anime. there is none and hopefully should come out sometime this summer (maybe). not that it will but sometimes i can be right (almost).

i'll post the pic soon

edit : here it is..




why did they do it? we'll never know but like i said..its a sign that it will be animated.. hopefully ..the animation is the same like Hikaru No Go (only up to date) cause the artwork and design is by the same person.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i agree. Oh and one more thing. the biggest rule in manga/anime

When we speak of chapters and especially the 2nd arc. make sure they are in spoiler tags. we dont want to ruin it for the newcomers.

in response to cloudnine

Spoiler:

i really disliked what happened to L when he died. but at the same time,cloud, we can't have it going on and on. the biggest turning point had to be when Raito got his memories back and when he killed off L. still, we were not able to find out his real name. So many people want him to be alive. im not sure if i remember much of it but his body did get buried "secretly" somewhere. i dont know what gives in that but in all seriousness in the story, they pulled off a great deal on how to end a hero's investigation and then passed on to the successors in the 2nd arc

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

so only cause of so much dialogue and thinking.. it can't be animated? that shouldn't be the reason cause if it is, there shouldn't be a real life movie... and also..Ryuuku doesn't have to be cg'ed in a anime. the only thing that may NOT live into the manga is the live action movie but since none of us have seen it , we can't really tell what they plan to do with it.

all that thinking isn't really hard either.. take a look at detective conan..thats a good example when it comes to thinking..sorta >.>

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

sry. the reply was aimed at outlaw. in any case. is the 4th one out right now? cause i heard people got it already and since i live in new jersey.. i guess we get it a day later >.>..

I was speaking idiomatically.

well you speak the truth but im sure they'll do something to make an anime. and i HOPE the animation isn't the same like in that picture i posted..i dont care if its gonzo and there great work on cg mech .

Manga Chapter 99

Spoiler:

i was very disappointed to see Matt getting killed off so easily by a bunch of Takada GOONS... I only read bits and pieces of the translation from TOWNL but other than that.. i did see this one page where Mello looked all shocked and shit. if that means he died, then that is very fucked up and too damn soon >.>..i hope this doesn't get rush.

How ya doing, buddy?

if they did a good job with a Initial D and GTO live action movie/series, im sure they can pull this off. Also :


Manga Chapter 99

Spoiler:

it is confirmed that Mello,Matt and Kiyomi Takada are DEAD. I hope they're not rushing things and having chapter 100 be the final one...

I hope they act well -__-"

Raito Yagami

that dude fujiwari is shuya from battle royale..thats cool.. but i hope he doesn't look exactly like that as raito (which is obvious)

edit : there is also the infamous teaser for those who haven't seen it yet. doesn't show much but oh well

http://filmphilia.com/3/article/362.html

Here is some more info on the movie

Quote:

An update on the live action adaptation of the popular manga DEATH NOTE from Live Journal group Death Note Apples reveals almost the entire central cast, along with some behind-the-scenes pictures and captures of the trailer which aired.

While the photos can be found on their page, the cast is as follows: Fujiwara Tatsuya (Light), Kaga Takeshi (Souichiro), Mishima Hikari (Sayu), Godai Michiko (Sachiko), Matsuyama Ken'ichi (L), Fujiwara Shunji (Watari), Seto Asaka (Naomi), Hosokawa Shigeki (Raye), Aoyama Souta (Matsuda), Shimizu Shin (Aizawa), Okuda Tatsuhito (Ukita), Nakamura Ikuji (Mogi), Toda Erika (Misa), and Kashii Yuu (Shiori). The voices of Ryuk and Rem are to be announced.

The project is being helmed by Kaneko Shuusuke, with Yamaguchi Kouji as subdirector and Matsue Yoshiki assisting in the directing as well. Takase Hiroshi will be handling the camera.

Also, Hoga Central is reporting that during the production, filming was recently done in the live subway system in Fukuoka city during normal operation hours – the first time in Japan. Fujiwara Tatsuya and Shigeki Hosokawa had to squeeze their 53 scenes during the 4 round-trips of 25 minutes each.

by the way, i found out what the actor looks like for L



soo..any comments on this?

edit: one more edit -.-;;... i found a deviantart site that shows all the faces of actors playing as this and that.

comparing faces....hm
watari looks cool at least lol.

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

fujisawa as raito isn't so bad at all. but the trailer should've set somewhere in his school. at least the poster looks interesting. only .. he shouldn't be holding that apple >.>

How ya doing, buddy?

very cute and all..but no blonde hair huh?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

yo ucan try this place.

http://www.discountanimedvd.com/

i think you can get it for 5 or 6 bucks for each volume with free shipping i think.

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

Acting as Yagami's father (never remember how to spell his name go me)

original source i believe comes from here for anyone that reads japanese
>>> http://etc4.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/wcomic/1137317965/11

but if you look at the poster. he looks fine as Light . As far as L goes..well they gotta give him that spiker hair look. then you have a winner.

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

yeah.. you're pretty much missing out on alot of good stuff. its not the best like when L was around but it doesn't suck either. you should continue on reading it. i'll tell you one thing.. if next week has a ..final chapter. i'll be upset and i'll let you know what i think about it without spoiling anything either.

Quote:

But I'm wondering how they're going to end the movie when the manga doesn't have a definite ending? I mean :

Spoiler:

If they end with L dead, does that mean Light rules the world? Or are they going to continue through with Mello and Near?

well...if you think about it.

Spoiler:

the live action movie will probably end after L's death then show raito and his crew a couple years later in 2009 where he leads everything then end it there or...they can end it at the wammy house where they show cameo apperances of mello and near..anything can happen

I was speaking idiomatically.

Mello and Near

at the end. That's sounds like the way to go seeing as how the manga isn't finished as of yet. At least it would be better then having Light achieve his dream and rule a crime free world and have the manga ending be something intirely diffrent. Though there are going to be two movies. So they could end the first movie with a forshadowing of whats to come as in

Spoiler:

Mello and Near, younger, at the wammy house

and continue on to the second movie with the second arch. So could work eather way....but if they do that then the problem with the ending still comes up unless the manga ends before October.

We should just really see what they do with the movies.....we really don't know what their going to do with them until we see them....



deathgod.org has summaries for pages chapters 1-5 and 84-current. But they're still missing chapters 6-83. Does that sort of help?

i just really hope they pull it off well with all the meetings and awesome moments like the manga has. to cram it all up along with that other kira and the corrupt organization (forgot the main name of that guy =/) is what has me 20% worried.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

question. does anyone know where i can download that same trailer from the official movie site?

FELIPE NO

The manga doesn't end at 100 for those who wanted to know.

for those who stopped reading the manga should really get back to it..

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

its different compared to the other mangas. give it a chance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

alot of shit can happen . its all i can tell you >=p.

Death Note Chapter 100

Spoiler:

there are no scanslations yet but lookin at the pages and stuff has shown that near and light finally met . however Near is wearing an L mask and will not fall for any tricks, thus, he already knew about the eyes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

so now i gotta wait months or maybe a year for you to get back on track,huh? ;p oh well. i can understand.

Death Note 101 RAW

Spoiler:

Near and Raito Yagami finally meet face to face in the place they are schedule to be at. All i know is that anything can happen after this chapter. Near expected that the other Kira (Teru Mikami) would show up behind the doors. However, Near is playing a dangerous game with Raito. With Raito acting very high and mighty, Near shows no soft or worry spot around him . Although now.. im starting to think that Aizawa and Mogi are now being controlled under Raito and is now predicting it to go as follows. with Mikami having the death god eyes, he found out Near's name to be Nate Rivers. Since he cannot see a life span under Raito Yagami, he called him God! and started writing his name on book. the last page has near and raito smiling with no fear. I get this strange feeling that L will come back sometime later. Since his body is "secretly" buried somewhere. who knows

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

you should keep going..

btw, i found this scan in another site/forum.



if this is what L looks like..where the hell is that spikey hair??

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

from what im seeing there , it looks like he's gonna be shorter than Light. but then again. they are going by the actors' height . i wonder what place they're filming at. i was beginning to think it was some tennis court like in that chapter where light and L played a game. but thats just me >.>.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Chapter 102

this chapter came in a few days later . someone found it and gave away a few spoilers. can't wait to see the rest.

Spoiler:

Nothing much really happened in this chapter. Only thing is that Mikami showed himself to everyone thanks to Near calling him out. Light Yagami continued looking all evil with the smile. Something is about to happen. My only guess is that the death note wont work since Mikami is holding a fake one. Im not sure if anyone is familiar with the recent chapters but if you remember when Takada died. Did she really tell Mikami to judge her and mello? or was it her? either way, whatever Ohba is doing.. she needs to finish this arc up already.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nm i got it

so

Spoiler:

I was dissapointed by the fact that mellow died so easily i mean comon is that the type of person they choosed for L's succesor. Im ashame for L

Spoiler:

I was kinda disappointed as well to see Mello and Matt die so early. At first i thought it was going to end at 100 but seeing that its over that range, Ohba is planning something for us DN fans. either:

1. She plans to bring back L by using a little bit of supernatural stuff wit the shinigami.
2. This may continue on more than i thought.
3. Near fails, Raito rule will the world in his own way.

alot can be said. i think L is probably gonna come back. i said it before and i'll say it again.. where the hell did they bury his body?

How ya doing, buddy?

you know.. something struck me . I know alot of you L fans out there are disappointed in his death but i think it hit me when :

Spoiler:

I read the One Shot Pilot Chapter of Death Note. It seems that Ryuuku has this Death Eraser that would bring people back to life if there name and time/death is erased. I never thought of this but now im curious, was Light ever aware of that? and i think its all coming to my head that L can come back to life if that death eraser is exposed in the later chapters.Also..Ryuuku has a new DN book with him with a cross on it. I guess there is more to him that Light doesn't know

And I haven't read the pilot. I guess I'll go hunt it down right now... ^^;;

yeah sorry about that. im still reading this one pilot story again. Another question that comes to me is :

Spoiler:

how many freakin notebooks did ryuuku drop? i get the feeling he's doing it on purpose. And to make it more interesting. If they "secretly buried" L, I assume he wasn't and someone knows about this Death Eraser.

How ya doing, buddy?
