Death Note

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note": a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues...

I highly recommend this.  It will get you hooked with the good storyline right away.  I saw the Japanese broadcast version of this last year and it still gives me chills to my spine (yes, it's that good).

now they're airing it online

Death Note

This is top-notch adult swim material besides the Family Guy and Boondocks (subjective opinion)

Eh... i don't like boondocks much. its basically a cartoon with people saying the 'N' word every 5 seconds.


But Death Note looks like its gonna be a good series.. (might top my old favorite IMO)

I saw Evangelion.  I was told not to watch the last 2 episodes.  I wonder if I made the right choice by not watching it:noid

I read the manga of Death Note and it is really, really good. The mind-twisting suspense as Light and L (and later M and N ) do their battle of wits is electric.

They even made a live action movie of it which i'd love to see... never mind the japanese actors SUCK (seriously, the clips ive seen the CGI animated monsters act better).


The last 2 episodes of evangelion are so confusing you need aspirin to get through them. You need only watch the last 10 minutes of the last episode to see the end of the series anyway (all the confusing crap re-plays in a condensed, mostly understandable burst). I never forgave the author for killing off Asuka like that.. i loved that psychowench :P

I deleted that movie on my hard drive after I saw the CGI rendition of Ryuk and Rem.  The movie version killed it big time.  Now it would be nice if Death Note gets a Hollywood treatment:D

O.o what you talking about? They were both IDENTICAL to the manga.

Granted, the Japanese actors just suck and their voice actors were even worse.. but the 'body language' acting the cgi beat the live action actors :P
