Three words:

Spoiler:

Death Note movie (that's all I'm going to say about that).

Hmm, no ?

I found the lazy and monotone voice quite fitting his character, but I can't recall of any other better VA.

A very good point! I haven't seen it... will have to add that to my 'hit list' though from the sounds of things.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kira doesn't kill anyone this episode. We don't even see the Death Note except in the opening/closing. Does this make this the first episode where the body count is zero?

Not literally (haha, in terms of animated stories...), since Light has people dropping dead at all times due to the scheduling factor of the Note. We just don't have to hear about it this episode.

Which is the only reason why I don't have much of anything sarcastic to say about it. XD

Anyways, I bet L doesn't get the chance to move that fast regularly. It was strange seeing him so...ahem...animated.

Now that I actually had time to watch this episode, the preview leaves me wondering if they're going to introduce a new character. I've been dying to hear Hirano Aya since the beginning of the show, but then forgot till now that her character doesn't appear till quite aways into the story. XD

Well, I'll say for one thing that the show is really following the manga to a "T". I'm reading the manga as well and man talk about "not a quick read". So much stuff. Lots of talking. Didn't think I would care so much about this show but now I'm hooked.

This is my first time here at Animesuki.
and well, I've read all of Death Note in Manga, and watching Death Note Anime is so much better, because while you read manga, you also have to think and try to understand thing that L and Light are thinking, it's kind of tired for me.
Plus, Light is so handsome,

Hahahaha!!!! Well, if you're like that nerdy girl then you'd think 'L' was handsome. Hahahahaha!!! Actually, I like 'L' because he's so "odd". I have this feeling that he might be a take off the author himself/herself. I'm wondering if the author is a woman. I just get that "feeling". But again, can't just judge by that.

But yeah, the manga takes quite a bit of work. There is SOOOOOOOO much to read. Considering the book isn't as big in page count as say, 'Berserk' or 'Buddha'. Yet you find yourself reading forever. 'Death Note' is not a book you can speed through. I was about 1/4 of the way to the end and still couldn't get through that fast enough. I had to stand in the subway terminal today and finish the last half. I know that sounds silly, but the reason I'm reading through them is,

1) I'm comparing the anime -vs- comic.
2) Plus, I have to get them into "circulation" for our new *book display* at the art college library where I work.

*Learned a valuable lesson to take manga and anime shows of the same title hand in hand. Choosing which order to watch and read them, so it won't disrupt my thought patterns for whatever expectations.

Hell, I'm the one that pushed to get that title in here for our "manga" collection. Based on my own research and student requests.

But it's surprising that most of the dialogue is taken directly from manga. It's like going over it twice. I guess if you've read the manga then you'd could judge whether the fansub group is doing their job. Heh heh. I guess while they were directing they made sure not to butcher it or fans would be cursing them out. But then again we have to wait and see what they do. It's still early, and with 37 ep. in the works, anything could change before viewers get to the end.

I'm curious to see what happens to 'Light' and 'L' later on.

Lots of girls I know like Light, because he is good looking and extremely a bad guy. I know that sounds weird, but that's the way it is. . Also L is so popular with his peculiar personality. The way he sits, the way he grabs the phone as it is something poisoned or dangerous, or the fact that he seems to be addicted to all kind of desserts, they all make him .. ummm really strange.

Nope I totally understand that. They always like the bad boys! Hahaha
Well, they can have them. I'll take the "oddballs". Heheheh!!! Wait till the rest of the cast shows up. It's going to get crazy. Of course, I'm already anticipating the airhead girl to show up. I've already started vol. 4 of the manga and she's a mess. So now it's time to watch ep. 11. I'll see folks there.
