Random Musings – DEATH NOTE: R and Miscellaneous Notes

  • NTV aired a three hour special of DEATH NOTE today that covered pretty much the entire L arc with some added material. It started out with a scene of a Shinigami approaching Ryuk wanting to know about the human world because he’s gotten tired of the Shinigami world. Ryuk proceeds to tell him about a man who tried to change the world and become god, and this sets up the recap through the first arc. Most of it was stuff we’ve already seen in the original series (they even included the potato chip scene), but there were some additional scenes too, (highlight to read) including L meeting Light in a theater, everyone visiting L’s grave, Light declaring his victory over L’s grave (after everyone else leaves), and bloody shots of the deaths of members of the Yotsuba group. The episode ends with Ryuk looking at how Light’s name is written in his Death Note and commenting on how Light wasn’t a god back then.
    If you’re a big fan of the anime, you might consider watching it, but for the most part, I didn’t think this was worth it if you’ve already seen the entire series.
  • There was no episode of Yamada Tarou Monogatari aired today because of a track and field event. Episode 09 airs next Friday.
  • Several people have asked me for the Shana II commercial, so here’s the download: Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Mirror 3.

      Or am i missing something..?

    3. ayasawada

      Boo, no Yamada Tarou! Now I know how Konata feels.

    4. Ligardes

      Who cares, Deathnote when from a good series to a predictable one that was lacking in a few aspects: only being surpriseability due to it’s predictability.

    5. Ha, I’m going to watch this anyways x). Death Note 4eva!!

    6. Edo

      Finally… I can Die… mmm waiting raw..

    7. Chiu^2

      Thanks for the links to the commercial, Omni.

    8. OMG Ruyk looks very cool and scare me a little more, i cant wait for raw and of course for a subbed version

    9. setsuke

      Hey Omni since you provided Shana II CM mind cutting out only the additional scenes and provide it too but if it’s long nevermind then

    10. Snait

      Death Note, the best anime i’ve seen, I can’t wait for the subbed version!

    11. Syaoran Li

      I knew that… lame.

    12. Omni

      setsuke: I’ll provide OP/EDs, CMs, and sometimes PVs, but I draw the line at actual episode content. Sorry 🙁

    13. setsuke

      Thats too bad then i kinna wish you’ve put more pic on the additional scenes since i would really like to know how was it like instead of getting the 3 hours raw.

    14. L-kun

      thank you alot .. can you add more pic please ? if you got some L’s it would be the best

    15. eriko

      mininova raw!!!

    16. freedomaster

      Whats this all about? Is there gonna be sequel?

    17. Penguin Truth

      Aw, no epilogue with Near as L? No Matsuda theory? Bah.

      Not that I won’t watch it for the extra scenes anyway.

    18. Mineru

      Hum… I’m probably gonna be only in it for the extra scenes, myself. Though, I wish they put in scenes from the extra chapter and arranged for it to work. Or at least, do something along the lines of clearing up stuff based on the Whammy House. I’m always up for that.

      I don’t think Matsuda’s theory could’ve worked, considering it was based on Mikami’s death, wasn’t it? That would’ve been nice, too, though…

    19. Rommel

      I too am waiting for the Sub’ed version of this. I’m assuming that theres no continuation of what happened to Light after he died and the closest people he killed or misa? If not then I don’t know why they went through the trouble of just telling the story in a more condensed version… =/ But I’ll watch it anyways.. just for the sake of the few minutes of extra scenes… lol

    20. sh1

      um…

      can i ask?

      where can i download this ep???

      tnx!!

      Death note is a master piece. its unique in every-way, unlike most other Japanese animations. Don’t give me wrong,I love fullmatel alchemist ( the original) the most and Naruto and Ghost in the Shell second. But death-not is the most original. I believe it should not even be categorized as,anime,show or Movie. It should be in a genre by itself because its unpredictable and unbiased. Is Kira actually evil as L and successors ( mello and Near) claimed. Kira’s goal was only to kill those who are evil. Is that really bad?

      • StankyKong

        Bro it didn’t take long for him to start offing good guys because they’re trying to find him. YES, it’s really bad. Not just killing them but his attitude towards it, no self=reflection, and sometimes mocking. So don’t give me that devil’s advocate nonsense, please
