    Death Note

    Although I'm a casual fan of the series, I love the "Japanese System Of A Down" type intro. It fits the series because it's so...unconventional. I for one want to see more anime that doesn't involve high powered half demon fireball throwing sword weilding emo teens.

    What's everyone else's opinion of the series?

      I enjoyed it. It started to feel a bit... cumbersome towards the end, but all in all quite solid for an anime of its length, and I didn't walk away feeling ripped off. Light-kun <3 such a great anti-hero.

        I love the manga. I don't care for the anime as much, since they change things around.

          I haven't really watched the anime. A couple of the voices kinda put me off right from the start. And I never seem to catch it on CN. (Maybe someday I'll have TiVo.) Anyway, the manga was awesome. The anime started off extremely faithful to it but I don't know when it veers off or how far. I want to check it out on DVD but not in 3 episodes volumes or whatever, I hate that.

              One of the best, imo.

                I have some issues with the pacing (paper is so much faster than animation!) but it's a solid story with great characters and fascinating situations. Though I highly recommend the manga if watching an episode a week is more your style I say go for broke.

                  Yeah Kire, Maximum the Hormone is awesome! I started checking them out after watching Death Note. I like Zetsubou Billy the most out of their catalogue.

                  I like the anime a lot though. It's a breath of fresh air, considering the story takes place in a more realistic world, where people stay dead and no one person has HAX powers(I hate Naruto for this very reason). Even though I know what's gonna happen throughout the whole series, I still wanna watch the anime to its end.

                    I think its great, but I stopped watching after... That big thing happens. I've been meaning to catch up.

                      I read the manga up to volume 8 and then it was just too many words. Couldn't even bring myself to go more than a few episodes into the anime because I was like "Maaan, I already read this, do I have to watch it, too?!"

                      That said, it's an original and awesome idea. I really like L and Ryuuk, but when stupid jokers like Mello (He-man wannabe??) started showing up the series lost all its luster for me. Bleh.

                        Don't you care how it all ends!?!?

                        And it's not like Mello is even IN it that much. I like him more than Near anyway.

                            There's a rumor that Mello's design was inspired by Madonna.

                              I love the Death Note opening. It's so kinetic and brooding at once.

                              "Death Note" is already a pretty metal concept.

                              I've watched very little of the anime itself though, though.
