Lol @ Psyke
WTF, those things look creepy.
Umm, what the hell are they?
Peace.
They're from Near's personal toy collection.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari

Psyke where did you get those from?

From a manga shop. Most manga shops here where I live also sells video games, candy and gashapon toys, anime, and related figures and goods. It's not hard to get replica Death notes, key chains, plushes, etc.

I have two replica death notes, one from the anime, and one from the movie (misa's note). There are tons of rules written in it (more than 50), and so far, they havent contradicted the anime and its portrayal of the death note, which leads me to wonder if all those rules have been thought out before the manga was written or if they just made it up after.
Peace.
When I visited a manga / anime convention a couple of weeks ago, a booth was selling those notes, but due to time limits the first time I passed the table I couldn't even have a look, and the second time I went there (after having eaten and listened to one more presentation), they were apparently sold out. Kind of pity, although I doubt I'd have bought one. But it would have been interesting to look inside one at least.
Now that I rethink about this show, I really wish I had not seen the near/mello arc... it was really unnecessary and sadly not up to the quality of the beggining of the anime.
I wish they had thought of some other way for the falling of Light...

Absolutely agreed. In fact, when I recommend the manga or anime to anyone, I specifically tell them to stop following the story after the first and better part ends (which is marked by L's death, a fact I hide to people I like, and blurt out "accidentally" to people I dont).
Peace.
Even though overall I enjoyed the series alot, I think there's quite a few of us that believe Death Note was not the same after L's death. When I was watching the series to me it was all about the battle between L and Yagami. Near could never come in and replace L.

Thats exactly why the 2nd part wasnt as good. Near tried to REPLACE L. Though a tad different, he was basically an inferior copy of L, and that made him much less interesting an enemy, especially when he caused the fall of light. It would have been better if he had a very different personality and style, making him a character in his own right, instead of some wannabe.
Peace.
If you guys disliked Near that much, you ought to enjoy the live movie, which closes the loop without the time jump.

Not necessarily. I havent watched the movie, but from what I hear, the ending wasnt really something to look forward to. Even without the near arc, if they fail to finish the story well, it would just be another disappointment. Id rather just imagine my own ending with Kira continuing to rule the world.
Peace.
Well, it seems that L preferred dying rather than accuse Light and put him in jail.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
But he could have thought of a scenario to take place after his death... that could have
been nice.
Instead, time jump and very boring near and mello. I wonder if they were better in the manga that they were in the anime.

From wiki:
A three-hour animated Death Note TV special, Death Note Director's Cut: Complete Ending Edition is scheduled to air on NTV on August 31, 2007 at 8:03 PM. It will be about Light Yagami and his rival L from the unique vantage point of Ryuk, Light's shinigami. It will contain new footage and dialogue that was not originally in the TV show.
And since you guys seem to be big fans of L, you might want to check out www.L-movie.jp for a teaser trailer on the upcoming spin off movie, due February 2008.

Whoa, amazing news. Thanks for that.
I wonder what the L movie will be about. Maybe Ls adventures before Light got the deathnote?
Peace.
After all, maybe the scenarists found it obvious the L arc was far better than the Near/Mello one...
To be honest I don't actually believe they intended the near/mello conflict with Kira to be "better" than the one with L. I think L vs Light was intended to be the ultimate climax of the series and bringing in near/mello towards the end for some interesting situations and see how light acts differently with his partners and stuff which leads to his downfall. A sort of cooldown so the followers of the story aren't just left hanging.
My opinion anyway.
I dont think they intended it to be as mediocre as it was either. Im pretty sure the L and Light battle was the climax of the series, but the Near one doesnt even come close. And if its is just to wrap things up, its a tad too long IMO.
Peace.
Nice find Psyke!
Now I've got some more Death Note to watch. I hope the L movie tells us about how he gained his reputation as the greatest detective in the world by solving great crimes.
