So I just finished this series finally after wanting to watch it for sometime now.

I'm wondering if anyone else has, and what they thought about it.

I also watched the movies along with it.

The series was dubbed, the movies were subbed.


So, a few questions..

Did you enjoy it?
Favorite characters?
Which ending did you prefer?
Did you feel as tho it dragged on or did it need more time or was it just right?

Personally I quite enjoyed it.
I thought the premise was new and creative. I liked the whole plot line and all of the twists and turns.

My favorite characters were probably Jealousy (broke my heart in both the movie and the anime :'( ), Ryuk, and L.

I prefer most everything about the anime to the movie, apart from the ending.
Well, partially.
I do like the pain and insanity that Light went through in the anime, it just tied together better in the movie for me.
Felt more like an ending that was plausible to happen in an incredible situation such as they were all in.
Though I am still torn about whether I prefer L to survive to the end or not.
Somehow it did seem right that he would triumph even if he did have to die for it.

As far as the amount, the end felt a little rushed in the anime.
What I mean by that is they find out so quick into the last episode you feel as tho it was just a little too soon.
I would have liked the suspense to build up a little more.
The seppuku was pretty intense though.

I read the manga until some... point... fairly early on... which kinda was very surprising. Cough.

Well, damn.

I hope you weren't planning on reading the rest.

Sorrie.

I preferred the anime over the live action movie. Although the movie did have some good alternatives. Except for the third movie, L Saves the World. Didn't like it. My favorite character was L. He had some cool quirks. Like the junk food obsession.
I felt the premise of a "Grim Reapers' notebook" that kills by writing in it was great. I've never seen anything like it before. I also felt the length of the anime was just right. They could've stretched out the ending a lil more but, all in all, PERFECT

i watched the series yesterday. haven't gotten to the movie yet.

i enjoyed it >.>

i'll probably have more to say after i do.

Noal ~ As did I.
Just a few aspects of the movie I enjoyed.
It was also nice to see all brunettes, I find blonde Asians a little out of place.
And the women were all beautiful, that was a bonus.

LD ~ I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Who was your favorite character?
I hope you like the movies.

[LD50]

thanks

that's a tough one. i did like near. it was hilarious (to me) to watch him being quite serious and intelligent, all while playing with toys >.> jealousy's story was sad (looks like there'll be more in the movies from what you said).

i'm sure i will
if you did, then they gotta be good

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Yeah Near was pretty awesome.

He was like a Mini Me for L. =D

Also, my horses in Oblivion are named Light and Kira. >.>

[LD50]

exactly XD

you're adorable >.>
i have no horses yet <.<

i remember that

i was so sad when i heard you say that. she broke your heart v.v

[twa]

Did you enjoy it?
Every bit of it.
Favorite characters?
Light. His laugh at the end just made it for me.
Which ending did you prefer?
​Ugh, the standard?
Did you feel as tho it dragged on or did it need more time or was it just right?
I though it was ok, I'm not one to sit down and watch long animes. I prefer watching a lot of short series.

I loved Death Note. I just found the plot so captivating. It really makes you think about what a fine line there can be between doing good or evil. As well as the fact whether or not something is good or evil depends entirely on whose perspective you look at it from. I just love anything that makes you call into question your own morals & beliefs, as well as society’s as a whole. Concepts of good & evil certainly are not as black & white as a lot of people would like to believe. These concepts are entirely objective & vary greatly depending on each individuals own perspective on the matter. That is what I found made Death Note great, it really focuses on this. It seems impossible to me to pick a side between Light & L, as they both fundamentally believe what they are doing is right, they just differ in their own beliefs of what is right & what is wrong.

twa: Yeah i agree on the long anime for the most part.
While I do hate to see a good show end, I notice pretty much all of them have an incredible amount of filler episodes instead of a fluid continuing with the plotline.

evil: There aren't too many that do so either.
The only other one I can think of off-hand is Hellsing.

I know right? I hate fillers so much. Though sometimes their good ones. But man, fillers like the ones in Naruto? OMG!

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Oh man, I have almost every episode of Naruto on my computer. >.>

I just need a quite time in my life to sit down and watch em all. <.<

[twa]

Dude, Naruto is awesome. But the fillers just bore me out. But I'm still a huge fan though xD I watch and read it.

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

I haven't gotten through enough to hit fillers yet.

Every time I try to go through them I need to change computers cause something breaks, lol.

Inuyasha had some pretty terrible fillers tho.

From what I hear, so does Bleach.
Again, not far enough in it to get to them.

[twa]

Yeah man.. I hate long animes for that reason.. Ugh.

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Mhmm.

There's one anime..
Conan Edogawa or somethin..

From what I hear it's damn near 400 episodes.. O.o

Do not want.
