[Anime] Death Note

I've been avoiding this series becuase of my own ignorance.
I just happened to stumble across the manga and freakin loved it. Saw the first episode as well and thought it was awsome. I just wish I would have known how good the manga was so that I could have read it ahead of time.
Although the manga looks to have a dark humorous side but the first episode seemed to hide it a little bit.

There are around 5 episodes released so far but there are so many sub groups. Which one is most recommended?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

couldn't help but laugh when L revealed himself ad go light all shook up
Didn't reveal his fear till he got home ^_^
I seriously need to read the manga but I never find the time. Even if I don't I hope the series sticks with the manga all the way.

I've also noticed the death note movie is out on torrents. If I see that will it spoil the story from the series?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

so the movie won't spoil anything from the series as long as I watch up to episode 9 o-0

best parts for me are

Spoiler:

I still find it funny how L was looking at Kira when he revealed himself. Best part so far ^_^
I also like the scene in the bus, Light proved there that he can manipulate anyone.

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

I actually didn't like 9000's sub. The quality wasn't that great and I didn't like the fact that some parts would be pixalated.
They didn't translate some parts like LE would, like the intro and the written portions. Plus the subtitles were a bit too big for my taste.

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

so i just watched the last 2 episodes and I honestly liked the way it ended

Spoiler:

From what I can see they did it in the anime so that kira would die secluded taking his last steps outside into the world unlike the manga where he just died in the abandoned building being played out by ryuuk.
Mikami killed himself hara kiri style instead of calling kira trash and whatnot, but I think it was good twist from the manga becuase Mikami saw his "god" fall into the ground groveling and pathetic realizing that his wasted his time with his fake god and just couldn't take it since he really believed kira to be the god he was searching for.

I think some dialog should have been kept from the manga to the anime but overall the series was awesome and shall remain in my hard drive after many other anime's come and go.

I was speaking idiomatically.

His "God" had just asked for help, and all he could think to do was kill himself to give Light a chance to escape. Maybe even after all that had happened, he still worshipped him, and was mortified at the mistake he had made, causing his God to fall. Or, he was despairing at seeing his God fall, maybe realizing Kira wasn't all he thought he was cracked up to be, and killed himself in remorse. Maybe a combination of both those =/. Not really sure. All I know is that events didn't play out as they did in the manga, and I think I'm liking the anime ending better.

I had thought the same thing about your first theory when I first saw it

Spoiler:

but I'm pretty sure that mikami killed himself because he idolized kira as god and since he saw him in his most desperate situation all the purpose he had towards him fell.
In the manga he just threw a few words at light pointing out that he had wasted his time with him so in the anime they just took it the step further and made his mental state alot weaker resulting to his suicide. Even tho some dialog is missing from the manga its still pretty much pointed out in the anime.

An example of this would be when rem spoke her final words in the manga "you have surpassed a death god", which was not spoken in the anime.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just check out the 2 hour special but I was just skimming thru some of my favorite parts, although,

Spoiler:

I wish they would have added a bit more to some scenes but the overall runthruogh of the first half of the series was very well done. But I was hoping they would end it with the original manga ending but the L parts were the best anyways. Best added scene had to be the end with Light at L's grave but I can't say I enjoyed the backside of Light's doggy style...
But other than that, the brutal deaths at the end were awesome

Spoiler:

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

the shinigami walking down the stairs at the end was the same one from the beginning who gave ryuk the apple and heard his story. He just didn't stick around for the end and I assume he went to the real world

How ya doing, buddy?
