NTV aired a three hour special of DEATH NOTE today that covered pretty much the entire L arc with some added material. It started out with a scene of a Shinigami approaching Ryuk wanting to know about the human world because he’s gotten tired of the Shinigami world. Ryuk proceeds to tell him about a man who tried to change the world and become god, and this sets up the recap through the first arc. Most of it was stuff we’ve already seen in the original series (they even included the potato chip scene), but there were some additional scenes too, (highlight to read) including L meeting Light in a theater, everyone visiting L’s grave, Light declaring his victory over L’s grave (after everyone else leaves), and bloody shots of the deaths of members of the Yotsuba group. The episode ends with Ryuk looking at how Light’s name is written in his Death Note and commenting on how Light wasn’t a god back then.
If you’re a big fan of the anime, you might consider watching it, but for the most part, I didn’t think this was worth it if you’ve already seen the entire series.
There was no episode of Yamada Tarou Monogatari aired today because of a track and field event. Episode 09 airs next Friday.
Several people have asked me for the Shana II commercial, so here’s the download: Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Mirror 3.

Who cares, Deathnote when from a good series to a predictable one that was lacking in a few aspects: only being surpriseability due to it’s predictability.

freedomaster at 6:36 pm on September 1st, 2007
Whats this all about? Is there gonna be sequel?
Penguin Truth at 2:27 am on September 2nd, 2007
Aw, no epilogue with Near as L? No Matsuda theory? Bah.
Not that I won’t watch it for the extra scenes anyway.
Mineru at 6:46 am on September 2nd, 2007
Hum… I’m probably gonna be only in it for the extra scenes, myself. Though, I wish they put in scenes from the extra chapter and arranged for it to work. Or at least, do something along the lines of clearing up stuff based on the Whammy House. I’m always up for that.
I don’t think Matsuda’s theory could’ve worked, considering it was based on Mikami’s death, wasn’t it? That would’ve been nice, too, though…
