An Introduction to Death Note:
Death Note is a critically acclaimed Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and published by Shueisha Inc. first released in December 2003 as a serialized magazine.
A high school student named Light Yagami stumbles upon a notebook from a God of Death named Ryuk, which has the power to kill anyone by writing people’s names on it. With this, Light decides to create ‘a new world’ that is free of evil.
Death Note has since received various adaptations and novelizations, such as the animation adaptation by Madhouse—directed by Tetsuro Araki—the 2015 TV drama, multiple live–action movies, spin–off novels, and a musical adaptation.

I just finished Death Note(anime)today, AMA
(From the LA BB murder case book)
Just finished “encounter”, loving it so far
Light (if his lifespan was shortened by half due to the eyes, and if all the events remand the same) would’ve died in December of 2006. At this point, he is acting as L, and Near has not been introduced yet. The way I determined this date is because Light dies on the 28th of January 2010 and he was given the Death Note on the 28th of November 2003. That is 2253 days/2 which is 1126.5. 1126.5 days since 28th of November 2003 is Thursday the 28th of December 2006.
As the title states, I am completely new to Death Note. I've read through 7 and a half volumes, reaching the part just before L's backstory. Out of curiosity I checked the anime, and found myself I front of 37 episodes, plus Relight and Relight 2. So, I knew there was a 13th volume, but that's 3+ seasons right there! So, what piece of anime does the 13th volume correspond to? Another thing, the black edition has 7 volumes, meaning the main series plus two other volumes inside the 7th volume. I can guess that one of them is 13th vol, but what about the other one? are those extra volumes connected to Relight? And last thing, are the other 2 seasons+1ep purely Anime or are they also based on the manga? Thanks so much in advance! ps just got another question: what's the full list of the Anime content? s1, s2, s3, 1ep, relight and relight 2? is that all? if so, what's the watch order?
So I've been a death note fan for like 4 years now, and I've always wondered how light would handle situations were he's trying to kill famous serial killers. Now yes some of the one's I'm about to mention use their real names, but in this context let's just say light doesn't know what they look like(also I just want to see other people's opinions on how light would react to these villains crimes).
1: Ichi the killer from...... Ichi the killer.
2: Johan Liebert from monster
3: the joker from DC comics
4: the muse (daredevil villain) from marvel comics.
5: the penguin from DC comics.
6: kingpin from marvel comics
7: Yoshikage kira from JJba
Also for context, all of them know kira is hunting them, that's it. Also light 100% percent knows these people commit these crimes. Edit: I forgot to add that each one of the killers has the same amount of knowledge L did when he figured out kira needed a name and face
The Noir effect will be refined! Thank you to /u/iantheskald for the incredible calligraphy!!! There is intention behind the design, the two lines in the middle represent the inherent cat and mouse of death note between the protagonist and antagonist. The random yet smooth design accentuates Z’s calculated behavior through impulsive decision making. Let us know your thoughts!!!
So one of my favourite shows, Avatar the Last Airbender has their own official cook book. I was thinking Death Note should have one too and wanted to hear from you guys if you think it will sell. I'm not a professional chef so here are some recipes that shouldn't be too difficult.

Gaming question for the PS and recent update. For "Well, then, if I don't do it" trophy where you have to kill two members of Team Kira -- do you have to kill them BOTH in the same game as Mello?? I did one Kira follower once and in another game popped Kira but it didn't seem to register.
I would probably still watch it even if I don't think that the series needs a sequel.
It has the entire anime and both relight movies, I’ve already watched the entire anime so you can sure bet I’m gonna watch both relight movies right now!
I'm rewatching the series for the first time in a couple of years and it's astounding how many bad decisions the Kira-aligned characters make throughout the series (not a jab at the writing, well-written characters can make bad decisions while staying true to their characters).
Between Misa, Higuchi, Takada, Mikami, Demegawa, and everyone else that tried to help Kira, who ended up dealing the most "damage" to Light's ambitions?
For anyone who needs a reminder, in chapter 79, Mello lures mogi to Near's Headquaters so Near can interrogate him to get evidence for his theory that L2 is Kira. Misa finds Near's location and tells Sakura TV to have Kira followers storm the building. Not only does Light say just 3 more days, it then says 2 days later, Sakura TV starts a broadcast around SPK HQ. And when it cuts back to it, Mogi is in the exact same spot. So you are telling me Mogi was at the SPK building for 2 days? Like where did he sleep. Was that a mistranslation? Like what was that interaction like? Was it supposed to be 2 hours but got mistranslated? I mean logically it makes sense it took 2 days for Sakura TV, a Japanese network, to fly to New York and have a helicopter and for Degawa to be there but the fact that Mogi was with near for days at a time just doesn't make sense. I couldn't find any explanation online over this.
So I’m going back to school in my 30’s. Soon as they handed me my new freshman ID. The first words out of my mouth out loud was. “You’re a college student now light” 😂😂😂
When I look at this I see them having a conversation with each other…
It’s like Light is saying: “I’ve won, I’ve gained control, and you are now nothing to me.” It almost is like dismissive.
Meanwhile I feel like L is more of a mixed bag: it feels like a mixture of the fear of death as he tries to quickly think about it as he thinks about everything. And as he looks at light in the eye, even though he knew Light was Kira… I dunno, I feel a sense of betrayal in that look sort of like.
“We’ve been through all of this, we know each other better than anyone knows anyone else, we caught Higuchi, and I washed your feet. You lied and lied but…” and then he just slowly gets too tired to think.
He goes to Watari before all of this, and he encourages light to step into the rain. He knew he was going, I bet even though he knew it was coming, he still had a mild fear for it. In the same way even though he knew light was Kira and didn’t really like him for that, he wishes they could’ve ACTUALLY been friends.
I’ve seen this be a controversial topic on other platforms, so I wanted to check in here. Who had the advantage in the battle between Light and L?
Light who was Kira, had knowledge of the DN and Shinigami, Misa, Rem, and possessed 2 death notes…. OR… L who likely had billions at his disposal, assistance from the task force, and who had connections all over the world he could utilize.
Each side both has their own drawbacks, but overall when weighing advantages over disadvantages, who had the advantage in this fight?
hi,so I just finished death note for the second time. I realize that there are other stories with the different MC,. So Im wondering which novel should I read after the anime? There are a lot of novel so I got confused which one should I read. Are non cannon novel good?
edit: I am not interested in manga
Thanks
L was my favorite character and I loved the back and forth him and Light had. Every time I watch the show now, without him in it, I wanna cry😭😭the show just doesn’t feel the same but to be fair, I have only watched 2-3 episodes since L’s passing but that’s because, as far as I’m concerned, my protagonist is gone and we’ve lost the fight against L. The story is still so amazing so I’ll finish the show but I just resent it a bit now.
Was bored in class so I drew him.
