I've watched "Death Note" up to episode 9 so far, and I'm finding it very interesting! Psychological battles of with involving the supernatural are often interesting, but have rarely been made with such cunning. Indeed, Light (the main character) is of a delusional genius serial killer mindset... only he actually does have a god-like ability to control death.
I have a theory as to his earlier, oddly foolish actions with the Death Notes (which are very strange when one considers the cleverness of his later ones) which involves some statements Ryuk (the shinigami who 'accidently' dropped the Death Note) made very early on.
I've probably figured it all out, but that's only because it's just the type of toying game wicked ol Charline would play! She's a cat, after all... :3
I've spoiled myself on the ending, which is fine with me since I started falling away from it in the second half of the series. In the beginning, it was fun to watch the massive battle of wits but once that part finished up, I didn't find the rest as funny. :/
Good series though.
Edit:minor typo
I still need to see it all
sometimes i feel sad that my TV does not actually receive transmission and does not alow me to...well...watch TV...
this is one of those times
and then i open my wifes copy of "people" magazine and see a full page ad for what appears to be a show about a vampire who solves crime.
and the desire to watch TV fades.
QuoteLogic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
Would the show be "Forever Knight"?
Because that's the only one I can think of, but that was some years ago...

I do believe he's referring to Angel. I'm so ashamed that I know that.

No, no, I'm the one who should be ashamed. After all, I know Angel went arounding angsting for his soul and then went angsting because he HAD a soul.
I don't think he ever went around solving crimes.

Though I've read the manga and know what happens and how it all ends, the anime is really nicely done.
Besides. L~ :love2
:3 Lucky me, I just got back from anime club and we watched the first two episodes. I haven't read the manga so my ideas about the whole series was seriously wrong.

I remember reading the frst couple of comics on Toriyama's world back in '99, It has a TV show now?
