Some of you might have known of the Death Note manga, created by Ohba and Obata, which have just reached its finale in chapter 108 (won’t spoil the story for you though). The news of the movie has been circulating around the net and finally the poster and the trailer is out. From what I can see, it is wicked cool and fits the detective action drama horror thriller genre perfectly. It contains all the events from the L arc from the founding of the Death Note by Light, the Lind L. Taylor and L introduction event, Raye Penber and Naomi Misora murder and all the way to… nah I better not spoil all the fun for you.
The first part of the movie (L’s arc) will come out next month, and I hope someone will be able to quickly give us the English subtitles so we can enjoy it the same way we did with the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. The manga may end flat and bad, but the first part, Light vs L was the best mind game that you can find in any manga, so I’m expecting this to be good, and I am not even the slightest bit interested on the second part, Near and Mello can die for all I care, the one I care most is only L. And I didn’t imagine his scrambled voice to be like that… ugh.
Some people have been complaining about how Tatsuya Fujiwara (don’t mix it with Takumi Fujiwara, the Initial D AE86 guy, okay?) is not fitting to play Light, but well, who can play Light then? He is a damn cool psycho killer maniac that is also handsome and sexy. From what I see, Tatsuya might be able to play this good, and although the cast don’t look as good as the manga counterparts (admit it, the manga style makes it hard to impersonate in real life, even the cosplayers are having a hard time impersonating L), their acting would be what makes it count.
Rrrgh… can’t wait for it, and it seems that it won’t be released internationally, so must be patient for downloads.
wah… pas ngelihat gambarnya langsunk excited saya, L!!
met kenal yah =D
btw, cuman suka deathnote ato suka buku authornya yg laen?? hikaru no go??
and i agree with ya, Light vs L = best mind game manga…
