Okay, all you holdouts, all nine U.S. release volumes--all 37 episodes--of Death Note are out on DVD as of this week; you have NO FREAKING EXCUSE any longer. I compel you all to watch the series. Buy it from Amazon. Buy it used from Amazon. Netflix it. Get it from iTunes. DON'T MAKE ME STAY ON CAPSLOCK.

THE DVDS ALSO COME WITH ACTION FIGURES

THIS IS WHAT I AM SAYING.

I got the versions with the figures even though they're more expensive, because I am just lame enough to want to have a shelf of Death Note figures.

I'm the sort of snobby fan who picks-and-chooses. If I didn't love the character or think the figure was cute I didn't get that one. Sad, huh?

I just got vol. 7 in the mail from netflix! (episode 25ish). I noticed netflix didn't have them all available before. I'll check it out and update my list. You are talking about the english dubbed version, right?

I love L! He makes me laugh.

You can watch it dubbed, you can watch it subbed--the U.S. edition has both! Ooh, you must tell me what you think as you continue. ^_^

But the singles (well doubles in all but one case) are so cheap...

(Can't wait for volume 5 to complete the set.)

Are they the kind of action figures you can manipulate into scary/rude/slashy positions?

Yes. Completely.

Sort of.

Well.

It may be necessary to purchase some Dremel tools. BUT THAT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT IN THE NAME OF SLASH.

Netflix was my first taste of Death Note; I'd heard of it vaguely and was curious.

Now I have seen all of the anime, own the first two live action movies on DVD (and watched a fansub of the third), have a scanlation of the stand-alone Near chapter, own all the volumes of the manga including How To Read, own Another Note, have Mello and Near bobbleheads, have replicas of Near's finger puppets, have a poster of Ken'ichi Matsuyama on the wall where I can see it when I get up, have written two Another Note fics, and RP both Near and A at [livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_hocus.

Sadly, my new obsession has no such schwag.

Yeah, except for the RPG biz, I'm pretty much at your level! But to make up for the lack of RPG I do have an official Light/L throw on my bed. :D

I read the 12-volume manga last month; is the anime significantly better/different?

Date: 2009-02-27 02:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com
I started with the anime and, well, as you can see, adored it; I love the music and the moodiness and the effects that the anime has (the "pen is mightier than the sword" death montage in the first episode IS SO MUCH LOVE), and a lot of folk agree that they deal with a central event better in the anime--more foreshadowing, more...tribute, shall I say, to an event that holds so much import.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

...the figurines mostly suck, but i still like my ryuk figurine, and have L on principle.

(just think--in a few weeks, nobody will have the excuse of 'but i didn't want spoilers!' available.)

Date: 2009-02-27 11:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com
Actually, the Rem is one of the best IMHO!

I will continue to cut for spoilers, since Death Note is a more obscure fandom, and I'm so glad I came to it unspoiled and want everyone else to have the same opportunity.

Speaking of action figures, I saw both Light and L in a shop here a few months ago and they were really huge and looked amazing and perfect and I was like, omg waaaant! Then I looked at the price and wept. 150 euros each.
