Definitely one of the best plots I've seen in a long while. The characters are well presented, the animation is superb (if you've seen HNG, it's kinda like that, but much more realistic), and every episode is well constructed, leaving you with the taste of "more" in your mouth.

I recommend, and I don't do that often. Also, it's only on episode 10 out of 37. It's following the manga exactly as it's been published... and uh, there's two movies out for DeathNote (I haven't seen them, so I do not know if they're pertaining to actual series itself, but I do know that they both hit the #1 movie on the charts in Japan).

What does "HNG" stand for? Also, where'd you see it? Some of my friends at school have read the manga(but of course they're too "lazy" to lend it to me), but I haven't heard anything about a DeathNote anime. ^^;

Akuma is right, HNG = Hikaru No Go (an amazing older series anime).

If you feel like it, you can download the anime through bittorrent at http://www.live-evil.org/.

Or, you could just watch it on Youtube if you don't feel like being a pirate.

Yeah, usually I abbreviate Hikaru no Go as Hikago. :p And, uh, maybe I'll check it out... it'll probably be YouTube, though; not because I don't want to be a pirate, but BitTorrent hates my computer. Seriously.

My friend at school was raving about it to me at lunch... so I started borrowing the manga series from her(hooray for my lover, Tristan!). I actually like it a lot. Ooh, especially the art 'cause it's by Takeshi Obata. :) I'll admit, the first time I saw Ryuk, I was like, "HOLY CRAP WTF IS THAT!!" lol (On a side note, before I read it, my friend Julia told me that she and our friend Davian saw a commercial for some live action version...and they thought Ryuk was "cute." Yes, shinigami can be cute, apparently... my friends aren't crazy, that's my job...) Aside from the art and quality, it raises some interesting question in my head. Or, it's very neat to see where Light takes his course with Interpol/NPA's investigation of Kira. Or the way he hides the notebook. Most of that I would've never thought of. o_o; Can't wait to borrow volume 3 from Tristan. ^_^d

Not that waiting for the legit version would be terribly long I imagine given the turn quick turn around from licensing announcment to product of hot properties of late, but seeing as how live-evil has dropped this, does anyone know a new fansub group that is doing it currently?

Live-evil seems to be the group that subs the one I am watching.

Yea, I just noticed that. Confused

Light reminds me of me in certain ways... like, REALLY reminds me of me in certain ways; kinda creepy.
