The answer, as many others have said, is yes! The whole point of knowing the face is narrowing it down to one person. Only one person ever had a face exactly like that, with that name. He would die.

I wasn't really pissed but I was kind of disappointed that they killed off L. It was a major event in the story and it really made Death Note more interesting but the thing is they weren't able to get good replacements for L. Near and Mello aren't as interesting as L.
ghey b
04-30-2007, 03:38 AM
i wasnt pissed cause i knew it was coming, and it made the story line better than if L beat Kira
but i do miss L
he was a kick ass character
I was sad more then pissed cuz I saw it coming. What DID piss me off was when
Takada killed off Mello TToTT Light is a total bastard!
Yeah I finally saw the ending of the 2nd movie the other week (ive been so busy) so yeah there would be no point of a 2nd movie.... I'd have liked for Mello and Near to have made an apperance, who knows? They might have a cameo in the L spinoff flick

Yep! They're pretty good mature choices :) Also look into Samurai Gun (only 12 eps long), its produced by the same people as Samurai Champloo only more serious, most people haven't heard of it.
yay someone else heard of them. and i need to downlaod samurai gun.
As for finding a show with the same awesomeness as bleach? Aint gonna happen :-p.
umm...well..it's happened a billion times, bleach is cool and all, but, truth be told, it's no masterpiece.
Another action animes you could try is Fate/stay night and Shokugan no Shana.
Not at all. I pretty much never attach myself to any character emotionally.
Even if the face has changed, the death note just needs that bit of information to kill knowing that it's the specific person you are thinking about.

Seymour would win this one. Anima alone should be enough. All the FF7 main characters (minus Cloud) were barely doing any damage to Bahamut in the movie. Anima is significantly bigger and has very powerful attacks. If all that was focused on Vincent, he'd be a goner.

its way differ from the manga ..
i spoil it for uu ^^ ... L die in the end .. he sacrifice his own life by putting his name down on the dn .. so the light can't kill him .. light is killed by ryuk himself ... so since both died i dun think there will be a third movie .. unless if light plan it all ..
Yeah but he captures Light first before he actually dies. Anyway the L spinoff movie will be set in the US according to Wiki. I don't think it'll have anything to do with the Death Note.

Try Speed Grapher, Gungrave and Elfen Lied. The story and character development is more prevalent than action in them, but i think that's a good thing.
If you like philosophy and want a very intelligent and complex series, try Ergo Proxy.
Yeah, I've actually seen Speed Grapher, I thought it started off good but I kind of lost interest towards the end. I liked the Opening Soundtrack as well... Girls on Film.
I thought Ergo Proxy was really good. The animation was pretty good. At times it was very deep but I enjoyed it for the most part.
I think I've seen Elfen Lied... If I remember correctly it was about crazy naked chicks who like to kill things, right? :Haha
I'll check out GunGrave. There's a videogame for the PS2 with the same name, right? Is there any relation?

Its not THAT bad of a spoiler >.> it just happens near the end of the series and since the anime isnt that far yet i put it under a cut :lol
If the creators ever come to an American con, someone needs to Q&A them on all of this stuff xD
I agree that it would kill him, since that is his face, and even if its old the face and the name will still narrow that person down .
That comic never ceases to amuse me x3
Yes its stated many times the DN never runs out of pages.
this is a worst fight,seriously seymour vs vincent? all vincent got is speed and accuracy...that all while seymour...cant die,summons,magic..if he without summons probably vincent might win

the number was just a mere Theori, Still he can fire more then one, even firing 2 in an X form with the Kyubi's size its almost a clear hit.
And if Akasuki(sp?) members can defeat These beasts, a Shinigami would likely not have any problems in doing the same.
If i could just say, Kyuubi is the tinyest bit more powerful than the one,two,and three tails -_-

Not at all.
The show has to move on, or would you prefer the nonchanging "fight" between them, while Light protects himself with the note rules and L cant do sh*t against divine rules?
One of them had to die, and if the show wants to move on it was obvious who had to.

I started thinking about this this morning...
One of the main written rules in the death note are
"The human whose name is written in this note shall die."
They are talking about the name you are born with. Now what happens if you change your name? i mean is what if you have your name legally changed...which name would the holder of the death put use?
Miyagi Rikku
05-01-2007, 05:36 PM
Oh wow good question. But you know I think (from what I think).
The death note holder uses the name that you were born with because
that would be your original 'original' name. o_o;;; I think. XD

Oh yeah, then what about if the guy has a twin brother with 100% same looks, and you could never tell which is which, how will you kill the right one?
Comeone Death note is flawed, what fi someone changes name and you never get to know it but try to kill it, why dont Nicknames count, what qualifies as a name?
If you are called by that name for some time by everyone is that your Death Note kill name?
Or the one given to you when you born, but if nobody ever gave you a name because you are a homeless kid and never had anybody who ever called you, you are immune to the Death Note then?
etc...

Death Note is so much better, imo. Bleach ,like all shonen animes, focuses on physical battles. If you pay attention to the ploit, any goal can be achieved by beating someone in a fight. So Bleach is quite simple tha tway.
Death Note is about wits, you try to manipulate those around you and outsmart the other, the shinigami are so much different and the mood differs as well .It's not creepy, like someone said before, but more on edge and complex.
Aren't you being a bit harsh on bleach?
Ive read about Death Note...I do follow Bleach religiously.
Bleach- action action and good story but action is the focus.
DeathNote- (from what I have read not watched) seems very very story driven vs action.
I think both are good and I see nothing similar besides shinigami that is it.
You want action with a good story watch bleach.
You want intense plot and story with low action more focus on characters and story developement I would say Deathnote. it seems more complex story to me from what I have been reading.
Some like that kinda thing so Deathnote isnt for everyone ...im an action blood gore kinda anime watcher...so I like bleach a lot. (though I want more gore like devil man or ninja scroll =) )...
I dunno its kinda like do you like action or drama is the question when it comes to the two.

05-02-2007, 12:19 AM
You're talking about two different types of anime here...
Death Note is a plot-driven anime that is meant to be primarily focused on the intellect of the characters, on the twists in the plot, and on the way characters interact with each other, and how they affect the story.
Bleach is a more character-driven anime, the characters are intended to show their honor, generosity, and other such traits that are supposed to be inspired to the younger generation as "proper behavior" (though the result is often violent kids as they begin to believe that you CAN solve your problems by picking a massive sword and swinging it around while shouting Kamehameha), and the primary focus is the action, the explosions, the cool attack names, and whatever.
I follow both religiously (Bleach both anime and manga, Death Note only anime because I don't want to spoil myself), and I find both very interesting. Death Note is intriguing and deep, Bleach is (supposed to be) explosive, with a lot of fighting and interesting abilities.
There's no point in even arguing over this, as different people prefer different styles and genres. Bleach may be predictable story-wise (or not, depending on how it ends. We may yet be surprised), but since both are entirely different, I see no point in arguing over which is better or bashing either anime.

Nood, even without a first name, you still have a face and a family name, found through the Shinigami eyes. Since a first name doesn't exist, their family name would be their full name, and it should work.

And what of the Transformers? And I still like Spiderman alot. Batman too. I'm sure he missed those classics. It's just too bad these heroes have bad fashion sense so it's not any wonder nobody would want to cosplay as them. Even then, cosplay is a term that the Japanese created for the phenomenon that begins from their interest of getting into the story so of course they're into Japanese animation. You'd be the odd one if you try to get into tights. But I'm sure there are people who cosplayed the transformers no?

I was wondering who you guys think would win in a battle between Sara (the blind assassin girl) and Kariya Kagetoki (Jin's final opponent) in Samurai Champloo.
I honestly think that Kariya would win because he is the "final boss" in the series (he took on Mugen without hardly moving and was able to deal with both simultaneously without much trouble) and had some really awesome moves (like the disappearing sword trick, ki blasts, and that after-image super speed), but Sara seemed to be having no trouble with Mugen and was able to cut Gin easily. And keep in mind that she was blind while Kariya was not. In addition, she was super strong and was able to predict Mugen's moves.
I still think that it would be Kariya, but what does everyone else think?

And 've also completed Dirge Of Cerberus numerous times, and chaos is a monster, really. The gun he has when vincent is in chaos mode one hit kills..

Thing is Brooke might not mind losing. He's got other skills like walking on water that he seems to be rather proud of.

Soon Luffy will recover Brooke's shadow and by then Brooke, out of gratitude, will ask to join the crew.

Which of these two weapons for Dante is more badass in terms of acquisition cut scenes and fighting power? I personally choose Ifrit. It fights more spectacular, although the Alastor has a cooler acquisition cut scene.
Ifrit is from DMC and grants Dante the flaming gauntlet. Beowulf is from DMC 3 and grants Dante invincible gauntlets and greaves.

Oh another season would be awesome. Had an long argument with a guy where I thought the ending was way to open between Chidori and Sagara, but he thought it was just fine.. I'm so gonna pwn him when I tell him this :D
Hmm, I'm divided, the way TSR was ended didnt leave much space for developement in the mecha-fighting parts, since Sagara became superman.
But since there are still lots of stuff left hanging, I guess it could continue, and not suck hard, but I think thats only ebcause fumoffu.
Hmm, if you red the manga and watched the anime, I dont think theres a problem. As long as you dotn know whats missing you wont find it bad, and when you know what was missing, you are already reading the manga....

Kariya would win. Sara, though badass and talented, was just a pawn. Kariya was the man himself, known by all as the "Hand of God/Hands of God". You don't get a nickname like that for nothing.
Sara took on Mugen & Jin with relative ease, but in 1 on 1 matches. Kariya took them both on at once, and was winning. He's just too fast for her. It would be a good fight, but Kariya has this.
Though, come to think of it, they were both so great that they couldn't be defeated upright. Sara let Mugen kill her, and Kariya was caught off-guard by Jin's suicidal technique... Bleh. It sucks to be great...

I dont agree, if they stop, thats a thing.
But:
If they stop in the middle of something its shit. (Berserk)
If they make up a stupid ending completly ditching what the manga would give. (Gantz)
Writers should be able to pull off a so-so ending, if they cant allow themselves to continue.
On the other hand, as long as I can read the manga, I wont care much, the manga is always better anyway. The anime pleases the eye (or atleast should) while the manga pleases the mind.

Hate it no matter what they do.
Berserk's "ending" was crap, granted it keeps going forever in the manga with no end in sight, but they could have at least ended it a little more into the manga.
And when anime changes the story to give a new ending, like in FMA, i disaprove, as was with kenshin not being finished.
If anime is going to be true to the manga i love it, is its going to be like S-cry-ed where they change the story and on top of that make it trash, then yea, i hate wasting my time watching it.
nah Berserk made out the best of it, with the episode 1 in count, theres nothing more that could've been shown if they dont want to add the next arc, even if it left me with a feeling to kill and destroy things in close proximity.
Probably because the audience sucked ass and would probably deprofit more of they continue? heh there are alot of anime that needs more than 1 season

Hmm... the only example of an anime that seriously dissapointed me by ending halfway (hell, it wasn't even halfway) of the manga was Get Backers - and I watched the anime AGES before I knew it had a manga.
I was all "WTF, that's it? Something's off here..." and then I read Wikipedia's article and found out about the manga.
Aside from that, I haven't really seen any anime that end up halfway through the manga and had a bad ending... for example, take FullMetal Alchemist. Zero relation to the manga, so I've heard, and I don't find it dissapointing.
Tenjou Tenge? Excellent ending without any of the let-down of Get Backer's ending (and I started reading the manga when I started the anime, so I realized after episode 24 that the manga should continue).
Nah, it's dissapointing mostly because you just want to see the manga animated (case in point: Ruroni Kenshin's Jinchuu arc. Hell, I WANTED to see that animated).

But sicne it doesnt even have an ending, and wont have one for years to come lol, it wouldnt even ever happen.

As long as a name belongs to a face, I don't think it matters if it's the one you're born with or the one you've changed. As long as its your REAL name (and not a fake one given to cower your real one, like that agent did when talking with Light), it doesn't matter how many times you change it.
After all, the name you're "born with" is decided by your parents after you're born... technically, before one is born, one is nameless. hence, as long as that is the name of the object in question, the Death Note will work.

Though, come to think of it, they were both so great that they couldn't be defeated upright. Sara let Mugen kill her, and Kariya was caught off-guard by Jin's suicidal technique... Bleh. It sucks to be great...
So unfortunately true. They were both so badass that they had to die in a "different" way. Sara just let Mugen slice through her like butter. And Jin, knowing he could not defeat Kariya in a sword fight (he even said it was a technique for opponents one couldn't win against) had to resort to allowing himself to get stabbed and then sneaking a blow in with his wakizashi. If only Samurai Champloo were still running. Oh man, it makes me so sad to know such a great anime has ended :(. Those villains had such potential, especially Kariya, since he was introduced at the very end and we never got to know him or his POWER!!!
Thats what I was thinking too. If you were married would your married name be displayed or your birth name? The name that the shinigami sees above you is the name that must be used to kill you, but it never explains changing of names. >.<
I was kinda late in downloading the RAWS for so many reasons *smacks life*
Anyway till the end I guess I can keep capping what comes out. Basically heres a collection of full episode screencaps to be updated weekly till summer, then they will be updated as soon as I am at home for something =P Or someone else can do capping xD
Episode 27 - (ive got them spread out all over X_X ill get em together)
Episode 28 - http://ziedrich.net/photogallery/index.php?level=album&id=37
Episode 29 - http://ziedrich.net/photogallery/index.php?level=album&id=38
^I did a crappy job with this one, I didnt cap everything. I'll go back and get what I missed soon
I also capped part of the 2nd movie (and will go back and do the beginning and the 1st movie) if anyone is interested. Gotta upload those too XP *pokes evily slow FTP*
Enjoy :P

Awesome, up to ep 4 I found it just awesome!
The fights are done amizingly and the whole scenery they give, extremely nice, I was longing for such nicely animated fights!
Only con is that its a bit slow at some parts, but I can live with that.
Truly nice, I suggest this to everyone, probably the thing I'm looking forward the most this season.

can Brooke join the crew because he's a musician?(wait, IS he a musician? I totally forget if they mentioned that or I'm totally thinking of something else)
Maybe neither can win the other, so they'll be like forever fighting each other and improving all the time? See, Sanji and Zoro have always been fighting and they're still in the crew.
That's because one's a cook and one's a swordsman
Hans-sama
05-03-2007, 06:08 PM
Can't the crew have two swordsmen? They can learn from each other. The world is too big to find someone who is a musician and a skill that compliments the crew. Somebody got to have skills that clashes. It just show how random Oda-sama can get on his story board. It's those times when pirates are thriving. It's common to get people who use swords. Maybe Oda-sama thinks the crew is settling down so an addition that can liven up the community is necessary. Someone who could bring chaos to the team and annoys lazy Zoro so he don't sleep all day. And Zoro would be like challenging Brooke to sword fights at the slightest provocation all the time.

Well, I agree, but Bleach seems more character driven than I think its sometimes given credit for, at least as far as what I like about it, as far as the internal struggle, and it's more than done in dialogue, I like how that struggle is illustrated... a big part of the story for me. But, I can't but help love the cool moves, names, explosions, battle cries, etc, like it's been said... but that's for the dumbed down (but still fun) part of the brain.
I wouldn't say that death note is entirely supprising all the time, but damn sure close (if you dont read the manga of course)... it seems like even if you know what's going to happen (which is hit or miss with all the plot twists), that it still puts you on edge. Got to love the layers in the battles of intellect too.
I know it's been said, but the shinigami aren't even of the same type. I would say the only similarities are the fact that each is an anime and manga, and uses the term 'shinigami'.... but, that's in term only. The overall feel, the cities, the characters, the plot, everything has a different tone. Death note is also done less fantastical, and feels like it could actually be happening in japan right now.
I do wish that death note had a little more action going on in whatever is the equivilent of SS/HM/hell/purgatory ... the few shots and character dialogue that happens always leaves me wanting more...

No. his sense of justice is different... it's not justice at all... even though he kills criminals it's still not justice... he doesn't have the right to kill people and pass judgment on them...
how can he pass judgment to others while he himself do something wrong... an unforgivable sin... killing many people just to create his vision of "new world" where there are no bad people... if that happens people are going to live in fear and the bad people are not really eliminated since there is one who do bad and that is KIRA himself...

But everyone is saying your "real name" or "true name" but if i have my named changed isnt it now my real true name? or does the shinigami see the name you where born with your orignal name
Thats what we don't know. I'm sure when it comes to first names, you probably have to be killed with the name you were born with. Like say your name is Samantha but no one calls you that, and you're called Sam by everyone and even put that as your name down on some documents (except for govt ones =P) You couldn't be killed with just Sam, it would have to be Samantha.
When you're married your surname is legally changed. I really think that you'd now have to be killed by your married surname, but it never mentions this so I can't say for certain XP
It also mentions that the shinigami can see your name even if it was never registered in the family registry. Like with L, his name was probably never legally documented at birth, theres a strong chance it wasn't. I beleive somewhere it says that you can kill with a surname only, right? When Dep. Yagami was threatening Mello?

some animes like rurouni kenshin had to stop since when they began airing the filler episodes [eps62 to 95], i think they had a fall in viewers cos the filler episodes sucked so much that it stopped them making the rest of the manga... but either way, it sucks when an anime stops halfway or doesn't end properly...

I agree 100%. You aren't born with a name already, it given to you legally by your parents. So if you change your name legally then your new name replaces the old one.
And the death god eyes kinda act like a truth window. Even if you lie about your name, the eyes will be able to see the legal name in which you were given, or what you have changed it to.
But that's a good question though, I wouldn't have thought about that. :winking56
Shinigami K
05-04-2007, 07:22 PM
I'm not quite sure. In the beginning he killed only criminals, and I supported that. He was doing a good thing then, he honestly wanted to change the world and I could see his point of view. Many criminals are set free because the courts can't prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but that doesn't make them less guilty for their crime.
But when he started killing the FBI agents, I think that's when he went from "justice seeker" to "murderer".
True he was protecting himself, which insured that more criminals would be brought to justice, but in the end he really just killed a few of the innocent people he said he was trying to protect.
Shinigami K
05-04-2007, 07:32 PM
Yeah but he captures Light first before he actually dies. Anyway the L spinoff movie will be set in the US according to Wiki. I don't think it'll have anything to do with the Death Note.
Thanks for that bit. I'll have to keep an eye out for it, I haven't heard about a DN spinoff. I think that rocks.
I'm half way through the second movie [Or maybe a little more then half]. I was watching it last night/early this morning but I couldn't stay awake any longer so I had to pause it.
But I can't believe the differences in the movie from the anime/manga. I knew they would have to cut it down but man they took out a lot of stuff. [And changed a lot too.]
I actually think making original ending for the anime (like in FMA) can often be better than airing fillers - especially if, in the original manga, there is no ending in sight. If the anime just ends in the middle of the story, though - I don't see how anyone could be satisfied with that.

The thing is despite his good intentions, to be provincial, two wrongs don't make a right. Therefore, despite Light wanting to rid the world of evil killing off criminals was not the way to do it, that and the fact that with his new power his original goal was lost...he became corrupted.

Anime seems aimed more for teens and adults instead of kids. The fight scenes in most animes are hard core and graphic. And the storylines are way better then any cartoon's I've ever seen.

Anime is definitely better but there are some good cartoons out there that borrow from anime... At least, toons are making steps in the right direction...
Like... Batman, Batman Beyond(started off well but ended kind of weak), Justice League/Unlimited(the end of season 4 where the League is fighting the Luthor/Brainiac mix was PWNage), Superman, X-Men Evolution(not awesome but it was fairly decent), Avatar, Samurai Jack(at times) and even the Clone Wars cartoons were pretty cool.

there is nothing similar between either of them.
peopel above say shinigami, its merely a name given to something, thats like lost is similar to lost in space cos the is lost in the name.
in bleach shinigami are soooooooooo different to the shinigami in death note, so that cant be used as a similarity.

well, not exactly... they still function as a death god, but in different manners, on different planes, with a different set of rules, with a different appearence, sending souls away via different methods, etc.
look, I know this has been posted before, but
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinigami
DN's shinigami are reapers that actually take an active roll in you dying... it is unsaid of where the soul goes afterwards, if there even is one, and who, if anyone guides it there (a 'before' death god).
Bleach's shinigami, as it's been pointed out, act as psychopomps and are more or less soul garbagemen once the death has already taken place, presumably by natural causes. they guide (more like send) the souls along, depending on where they need to go (SS for plus souls, HM for minus souls, or hell's gates for extremely evil people, apparently)... (an 'after' death god).
many religions/mythologies/fictional works have characters, shinigamis, that have both functions simultaneously... they kill you then take/guide your soul.
at the end of the day, they are still shinigami aka death gods. similarities other than name and function include:
both exist on higher levels (planes if you will)
both 'stay' in other dimmensions (i guess is the best word for it)... homes like SS, HM, hell, (wherever it's called that DN shini stay when not on...
both venture to earth dimension from said place to due their dirty work
both are generally unable to be seen by the average person's eyes
both can not be harmed by conventional weopons
both have life spans that make human's existances seem fleeting
both have superhuman abilities such as flight, going through walls, zanpaketos, kido attacks, etc.
both are some kind of soul form themselves and benefit whether directly or indirectly by the work they do
so, no, it's not just that they share the same name. the grim reaper is the grim reaper, werewolfs are werewolfs, and vampires are vampires in different media, but they have diff appearences and ways to kill/ways to be killed, etc. BUT, they all still function similarly and are recognizalbe by their actions and or appearence.
"peopel above say shinigami, its merely a name given to something,"
not just something... it's the name given to the characters functioning as death gods. bleach doesn't call firefighters 'shinigami', for instance. so their purposes/roles are very similar, with all different details.
ok so do u think this should go on
not really. what else needs to be said? do you think that death note is the same as House M.D.? They are both T.V. shows, no?
I wanna add some other similarities between the shows. beyond being animes. beyond having shinigami.
both take place in modern times, in modern cities, with modern tech.
both have humans that are realistically not superhumans ((DN has the actual note, but no superpowers beyond the supernatural aid... bleach has normal humans... even the protagonist is not actually a human, but either a spirit (in gigai) and human halfling, or a full blown spirit-spirit progeny, being housed in a body that was born of two gigai, and therefore alive but nevertheless not a natural birth by any means. the only humans that seem to have superhuman powers are either children of shinigami and in ichigo's family, or influenced directly from the superhuman ichigo. therefor, no one in either show just has magical powers as a normal human.)) and believable. except the quincy... but they are spiritual.
both have some sort of dark afterworld.

05-06-2007, 07:01 PM
Yeah, I'm sort of on the fence about that one... True, there are cetain monsters out there in the world that really are more a menace to society rather than a pillar to support it but Kira is just about killing off anyone that breaks the law... Does that mean, if you litter your name ends up in the DN? I hope not. I believe there is such a thing as rehabilitation and redemption from one's crimes. Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect... especially Kira. What if he starts writing the name's of the innocent who were wrongly accused. Many times in society, innocent people are blamed for crimes they didn't commit just because they are social outcasts because it makes it easier for us to point the finger at a scapegoat that no one likes... Sorry, I just finished Grisham's lastest, "The Innocent Man..." It's a true story that talks all about that.
In any case, I think in some cases Kira is justified but not all cases.
.Rik-uh-shey
05-06-2007, 07:06 PM
well if you believe that "the end justifies the means" then kira was a really great guy. crime rates drastically dropped and the world became a better place because of it, but everyone lived in fear.
not sure on episodes/seasons but there are more then that.

FOr me its a tie between kan-u and ryomou Shimei.
though there are alot of other good ones from there
then i guess suzu from nagasarete araintou. i would like to see her more like ep 1 but their really sticking off the ecchi.
Then theres the chick that looks like the ninja from negima! from nagasarete.(seriously only dif is she dousn't say -desu and has diff clothes and hair.)

It annoyed me as I watched the beginning, knowing it would happen, and then it pissed me off when it did.
I knew there were two paths, one where L is the victor and the other where Light is the victor. There is no other path because L and Light can only succeed if the other completely fails. If L wins, the story ends. If Light wins, the story continues. It was to be expected.
... but made me mad anyway :D
This series is great, I am enjoying it a lot (yes, its under-rated). I am also enjoying the story line :)

I figured L was going to be killed sooner or later, I just wished it was later rather then sooner. I wasn’t really pissed, but it did suck that my favorite character was no longer living. I didn’t think that L could go for much longer hiding his real name when Light had access to two death gods, but no one can ever replace L. The battle of wit between Light and L was awesome.
Well, L did make Death Note what it is... so it's sad to see him go... but I suppose it had to be.

Asuka
05-07-2007, 12:56 PM
That's because Japanese don't actually have the letter 'L' in there language. So anytime a word has an 'L' it's pronounce with a 'r' sound. So Raito is Light!
Undying
05-07-2007, 01:31 PM
It's Yagami Light. "Light" is pronounced as "Raito" in Japanese because the sound "L" and "R" are the same, and there aren't words that end with a stop, so they usually add a "O" or "U" sound (for example, the word "fight" would be pronounced "fighto").
The manga translators usually write the wway the word is pronounced while anime tends to be more towards the "correct" way of saying it.
there was some confusion to Light's name when it was first scanlated. They wrote it as Raito, since thats how you'd pronounce it in japanese pretty much.
The correct form is Light, which that is used properly in the anime and movies and official english translation, but still people prefer to use Raito. Its not exactly wrong, so use whatever you want.
Neko Rae
05-07-2007, 06:32 PM
Yeah, it's supposed to be Light but since I read the manga first I used to always call him Raito but now I switch back and forth between the two or sometimes I call him Lighto :D

That doesnt neccesarily mean that there will be a fourth season...

The scanlations eventually switch over to Light if you read further, and they even go into detail as to why they did so. :\

05-08-2007, 02:32 PM
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNEDIf I remember correctly after the TSR there's a short story taking place on sea (that's the Dancing Very Merry Christmas novel) where Kaname's class is invited on a cruise ship that is hijacked by "terrorists" afterwards.
Next, it's the Continuing On My Own novel where Sagara's AS is destroyed by Tessa's brother (forgot his name) and Sagara himself dissapears. At the same time most Mithril facilities are destroyed by Amalgam surprise attacks.
That's as far as the BT translation got before Tokyo Pop licensed the novels. :(

Who says Zoro and Brooke have to fight? These two have 2 different styles. Brooke looks like he uses more *Rapier* style while Zoro uses well.....his sytle :P
The only time I see them fighting is if Brooke says he wants to be the best swordsman. This also gives Zoro someone good to spar with all the time when on the ship.
Im hoping he uses his sword on extreme cases. When not in extreme cases, I see him beating people's asses with that pimp cane of his. :D
So yeah I'm uber confused about the ending of chobits, Can someone explain the ending to me and is there any episodes after 26 or does the manga go deeper into it?

well, ep 5 got a bit more interesting. wonder what those slaves can do, they look pretty harmless.
Hm I was confused, did the program turn them all human?
Really slow, but seems good nonetheless, thou I already know that I'll be having a DBZ feel from it, as in 10 episodes of talking really slowly, then an awesome fight scene, and then 20 episodes of nothing...
I guess the slaves are just there to give trouble to the manhunters, as in, 30 nameless noone appearing there...

I haven't watched the anime.
However, I did read the manga from start to finish. The ending is simple.
It attempts to portray true love. The guy loves his Chobit girl (her name Chi, if I remember right), but he cannot go all the way (he can't enter her vagina, though the other openings are still open) because her on and off switch is there, so touching it would turn her off and reset her, thus erasing her memory (and love) of him.
So as I said, the ending of the manga is "the guy can't do the girl".
How does the anime end?

I've got all 307 currently out episodes because I've followed this for a while now but once torrents get old its hard to find seeders so a direct download site would be needed.

1. Can a shinigami kill a human without useing a death note? like stabing them, picking them up and droping them from a great hight? also would this go against shinigami rules? e.g if Rem had killed L with one of these ways would she have died?
2. Is there a website anywhere that lists every rule of a death note?

The anime had some freakish wave of freakishness come out of chii and affect all the other persacons. This is what they are asking I presume, what did that end wave accomplish. (no clue if that was in the manga, never read it)
No, it could not have turned them human, but taking a sappy long shot, all the persacons could have at that point been given a chobits like awareness, thus breathing 'life' into allll the bots.
Otherwise, they all just like really pretty colors.
Also, the guy still couldn't do the girl in the anime either.

Originally persocons are just intelligent computers.
The doctor that created the Chobits made them much more human like.
So when the dude didn't know what was he to do (like, he wasn't sure if it's a good idea to fall in love with a machine you can't even do properly), Chi's other self (her sister) started turning the personcons into mindless beings - literally machines without even human-like intelligence.
I suppose that's the question? In that case, well, the idea was to a. understand what true love is (no sex? Ha. No love), and b. to understand that when you create human-like machines you should treat them like humans or don't make them at all.

1) I dont think the Shinigamis of Death Note are made for physical harm. I think
their only means of killing a human is by using the Death Note itself.
2) If I can find it. Maybe google? Death Note Rules. :3

here are the rules for the Death Note...
* The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
* This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
* If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
* After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
These are the fake rules:
* If the owner of a Death Note does not use the notebook after 13 days time, he/she will die.
* If the Death Note is cut or burnt, any people who have touched the Note will die.
This is the other rule that is revealed...
When the same name is written on more than one Death Note, the Note which was first filled in will take effect, regardless of the time of death.

If you've played Dirge of Cerberus, you would know how badass Vincent is, although I think FF7 would be enough.
Vincent can fly! He uses guns and can become Chaos. Because of experiments done on his body, his body has become stronger and is pretty much immortal (That's why he can become Chaos) and he cannot age anymore.
The summon Anima is overrated, it gets owned by a group of people who don't have special training/enhancements (e.g: Cloud).
Okay, Seymore has all his transformations, but will his hits make contact with Vincent, maybe but unlikely. Vincent in Chaos form would destroy Seymour.
Jay3205
05-10-2007, 11:55 PM
FF7 Vincent is pretty weak. In Advent Children, he was barely a nuisance to Bahamut, a considerably weaker and smaller summon. How well the characters perform in the actual RPG battles isn't much to consider, as it just depends on the level of the characters... you could have Tifa defeat Sephiroth when this isn't possible by storyline ability.
No, at the end the one guy was like why are you blushing your a persocons

But the stone statues had forced Humanity to contruct colossal suits of armor as their bodies and demanded that the humans fight each other." - ANN
Anyone been following this series?? I've read that theres alot of legendary mecha designers working on this project and plus BONES. The style of artwork is weird but I really like it...Everything seems flat..idk...just different. The computer effects are pretty awesome too like the explosions ect. I'm liking the main plot but I'm hoping some subplots develop so its not so predictable...like each episode they face another countries idol and beat it and so on for 30 eps or w/e its scheduled for.
Anyway, if you're a fan of mecha and appreciate good artwork and animation check this series out.

The character designs IMO are not that great and obviously are inconsistent. They should of used the ED character design style, I like that one much better. CGed Mechas are usually frowned upon from viewers but its alright here to me. I like other mecha anime better than this one though

The only thing that links the two anime are the Shinigami like Legend said in the second post.

Hi there.
I'm currently a member of the realitylapse.com
(Excellent work BTW)
I'm ok with downloading the rvnb* or whatever files but I find I can't watch it on a big screen like I could have done with the .avi files.
Basically I'm looking to be up-to-date with the naruto / shippuuden, Bleach and One Piece episodes in .avi format.
The best thing I could hope for is that someone copies those files onto blank DVD disks and then sends them to me (around 45 eps for ~170MB files onto a 4.7GB disk)
I don't mind paying for it - but the problem is that I live in the UK. I don't suppose there's anyone in the UK who can help me out?
Thanks
