*Mattocks is required to post on this thread Personally, despite it's new "pop" status here in America (something that usually turns me off of something), this series has captivated me into making it one of my favorites. It's story is nothing short of amazing. And the characters.....dear GOD the characters. L and Light are without a doubt some of the best characters ever to be depicted in media PERIOD, not just anime. The brilliant but eccentric L, the brilliant but mad (and mega god complex having) Light. Simply brilliant. I haven't been able to see any episodes past 20 yet (though I'd have to live in a hole not to know most of the spoilers by now ) but just from those, hell, just from the first five to seven episodes, I can tell you that it is a great anime, and just a great show really.

Now why would you say tha? Just because I'm possibly the biggest DN fan on ZU? Pop culture status? I watched it before it was even in NA n0b! Joking aside I agree, it anoys me when that happens. Especialy when it's somethingI've already seen and don't realy have anyone to talk to aoutit, then it becomes big. L and Light were simply amazing well thougtout, in depth charactors. Almost like two notes in harmony of good and evil (who can name that philosopher?! ). Near's a wad . Anyways, if you want to see the st of the episodes, check out deathnote.tv/. Easily my favourite anime.

I'll tell you when I knew Death note had reached "Naruto" standards here in the west. I saw a girl, who couldn't be more than 13,in a certain big super store and she was wearing the L keyring on a my chemical romance backpack (They have backpacks?). That was the moment part of my soul died....

*facepalm* can not descibe what I feel:P. In any instance, I can't stand it when something like DN which has a deep meaningful message behind it becomes a pop icon whith hundreds of screaming fan girls who "know everything about the series" but (for example) don't know what you mean when you talk about the iblical references in DN. They should all be burned at the stake!

Well...I tend to be a pacifist so burning may be bit much. But I know what you mean. At least it didn't get butchered SO bad it was unrecognizable. One piece? Naruto? The list goes on (Also, have you ever seen the original japanese pokemon manga? Crap would be rated Teen here in america.)

I actualy never liked one piece, I just found it too anoying. As for manga, I've never realy been a fan of it. I don't find anything particularily wrong with it, I just enjoy anime better, which is one reason I havn't read most of the DN manga. Has anyone seen the movies? I was surprised to find that they are actualy pretty good. The had an original take on the main plot, while still retaining that special spark from the original.

I watched death note a long time ago, when I was young(er), and it gave me a nightmare. So I haven't watched it since. Lol.
