Had a hard time deciding whether to put this in the anime or manga section... but since we're talking about the anime, I figured I might as well put it here.

So it's official. Death Note is gonna be an anime soon. Lots of excited fans scream in the background.

Discuss. :D
 
I thought it was being made into an live action movie ( the trailer rocks). It seems kinda of sudden for it to become an anime as well now.

I can confirm this. There's going to be an animated series, while there will also be a live action movie.

Hopefully both turn out great.

Yeah, i've been waiting for this ever since i began reading Death Note. Finally :D

And the live action movie looks really nice too.

Link to the trailer, please? I want to see it. :[

Yeah, it is strange they would make both a live action movie and an anime series. No offense, though, but I don't think Death Note should be suited for an anime. Of course, I won't know until it happens.

Hopefully, the anime will follow everything the manga has followed. I'd hate for such a good storyline in Death Note to be changed and twisted by writers. I'd also hate, which I'm not sure yet if it'll be likelly, if the anime is full of fillers. Of course, each chapter is so dialogue heavy that there wouldn't be any fillers except for some (maybe more Misa and Light action?) parts.

That's my thoughts.

Anime News Network. Scroll down till you see this date: 2006-04-28 13:33:14.

As for an anime well Hopefully they can complete it similar to the manga since the maga is near finish.

I have the feeling it will be good, the anime that is. I know EE, Luke, and others disagree but I believe it'll turn out great.
 
I dont Know how to react twords this. The Shinigami will probly look better Anime than CGI, but, The art style seems to non-anime like to be anime. I think you all know what I mean.
It MIGHT turn out well, but I'll wait to pass final Judgments till we see some clips or Screen Shots.
 
TSC: I don't neccessarily hate the fact that it's being turned into an anime, I just don't want such a great manga to be screwed up by fillers and changes (not small changes, big changes; not saying that it's going to happen, of course). -.-

Yep, a live-action movie, an anime, AND a video game as well. I admit that I've stopped reading the manga after ch. 70 due to boredom, but hopefully all these sudden new things will make me love it again.

The plot's kind of long and complicated, and I'm too lazy to type up a organized summary. So maybe this'll help. Maybe: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4354

the changes won't be big nor will have probably any fillers since the manga is close to being over at I believe chapter 172 or something like that. point is, the manga is near done and the anime can adapt to it faithfully.

I've thought about it becoming an anime and I can see it having quite a few fillers. Well maybe I'm exagerating but it's SO dialogue heavy, I can't see an anime with just people sitting around talking. Yes I read and love the manga and know the plot well but...
Will the movie be in theaters or go straight to video? I'm worried about it not doing that well because the a lot of people don't know how to appreciate excellent writing. I could name a few who said The Grudge was horrible...

-Just my opinion

Saw this a few days ago. Personally I'm looking forward to it as I think that Death Note will turn out to be pretty damn good. Just because there is little to no action in the series itself doesn't mean that is won't be good. Besides, there are a few thriller-esque scenes in the series, so it isn't totally lacking. And it is evident that series that are dialogue-heavy can turn out to be memorable.

Come now, I doubt that there will be any significant changes (if any changes at all), and for filler material (if it is included)... well, I always was fond of [spoil] Ryuk before he was pushed into the foreground, Misa when the manga-ka decided to actually keep her intelligent and not screw up character development, and we needed more time for L to have the frustrated attitude that he eventually gained.[/spoil]

Lol, next time when I tell you information, remember it correctly or else consult, alright? ;D

Anyway, for those who care (which is probably a fair share), the Death Note manga series currently has one hundred seven chapters out with the final chapter, one hundred eight, to be released next week to finish the whole deal. Honestly, I'm glad that it is ending as I felt that it could've (and should've) ended back in volume seven as at that point an end to it all would've made it not just a great ending to a great shounen series, but a memorable ending to one of the best manga series that has come out in recent years. But, alas, that is for another time and discussion.
 
I've read most of the Mangas...

The start of the story was really interesting and good but...

*SPOILER*
Let's say after a while...

[SPOIL]
When L dies
[/SPOIL]

The story became bad... well, to me that is.

Agreed. It just sort of died away after that and [SPOIL]having Near to replace L is sort of... dis-satisfying.[/SPOIL]

Couldn't get hold of most of the manga, so you can see why I'm excited D:

Judging from the high votes on ANN, find it pretty surprising that they would start now and not before, but whatever float their plates.
