Death Note anime
Was watching the 1st episode on SCV today and was totally totally blown away by the anime version of high school genius (but also serial killer) Yagami Raito aka Light (夜神 月) and high school genius detective "L". The "unknown" killer (which is actually Light) later takes on a name "Kira" as the public perceives him to a killer. (kira sounds like killer)
I can assure you it's an anime very very different from the regulars. It's deep and intellectually challenging.
Got too blown away, decide to go to www.veoh.com to watch more :)
Include 2 episodes for some tasting:
Death Note Anime Episode 1:

Death Note Anime Episode 2:

It's about 20 min each episode so can stream it while studying and watch it during your breaks :)
Who has the soundtracks for the anime?! I wantttttt!!!!!!!!! :)
For those who dunno what Death Note is about, I wrote an entry for Death Note 1 movie version before.
Now I understand why there was so much uproar over the actor starring as Yagami Raito in the movie version.
While the anime version of Yagami Raito (Light) is slick, handsome and extremely intelligent-looking:
The movie version of Yagami Raito (light) was more...:
erm..more like less slick-looking but he had a more sinister air. Which fits what Yagami Raito was supposed to look like as the show progresses. The black creature behind is the Death Reaper, Ryuk.
But for the character "L"...practically not much difference! Kudos to the actor man! And of course the make-up artiste! Lol
"L" in the anime, looks like this:
Yea, he likes to sit this way. He once says if he sits normally, his ability to think drop by half. Hahaha. And he loves to eat sweet things, is very pale (because he's always indoors) and has very dark rings due to lack of sleep.
The "L" in the movie:
So alike! Hahaha
There's slight difference between the Anime version and the Movie version.
In the Anime version:
1) Yagami Raito (Light) is a high schooler.
2) Raito picked up the Death Note in school.
3) He kill people because he was bored.
In the Movie version:
1) Yagami Raito (Light) is a Law undergrad.
2) He picked up the Death Note in the dark alley on a rainy day.
3) He kill people because he was disgusted with the law system that could not punish the criminals duly.
Everyone should give the anime or the movie a watch! There's 2 parts to the movie :) And both are equally good :)
As what the movie poster for the 1st part suggest:
It's the Battle of the Wits. :)
And it gets more complicating, as can be seen from the poster of Death Note 2: The Last Name:
There's another girl with a 2nd Death Note and the appearance of a second Shinigami (death reaper) in white.

Death Note 2: The Last Name Trailer:
Just realise Channel U will be playing in on TV this coming Sunday and next Sunday for Part 1 and Part 2 of the movie! :)
It's so exciting!!!!
Can't wait to finish the anime as well :)
Warning! It's highly addictive :)
