Death Note may be the best anime series I've ever seen. I know, I know, unless it's shown on Cartoon Network I never watch anime anymore, but wow. If more of it was like Death Note, I'd make the time for it!


While looking for info about the series on a message board, I saw the oddest thing: Everyone called Light the villain of the series. That boggled me, because I've seen all subbed eps, and never once thought of him that way! Sure he's killing people and he's totally in the wrong to do so and sure the police are working against him, so... um... that does make him sound like the villain, huh? But for some reason I just don't see him that way.


If you've not checked out the series, do yourself a favor and do so. All the subbed eps so far are up on YouTube, just do a search!

That leads me to my big big request: Is there a torrent or something for the live action Death Note movie? A subbed version? There's a copy floating around on YouTube but the subbing is highly sucky (lots of Chinese in with the English) and the soundtrack is off by like 60 seconds. It looked highly cool though and I'd love to see it! I'd dust off BT to get a copy. :D

FFXI, general: Meh. Haven't been writing about stuff lately. Stuff happens, some of it good and some of it bad. BRD hit 71, fellowship NPC hit 65. Killed some NMs. Got my one-handed sword of trials and it must be mostly cleared. Besieged makes me amazingly happy, and I still find it impossible to put into words why. Going to skill Great Axe once I'm done with sword. DRK can get the quested WS on that, so what the hey. Almost have my clothcrafting glasses. (I'll make a better post sooner or later, sorry.)

FFXI, Assault people: Two small things.
1) Mind if we do them in this order: wall, wall, worms, GS? I need to change subjobs between walls and the others, and since GS is the most stressful for D we could do that last and then end.
2) Let's do a thing when we pop the chest: Since time is often short, whoever pops it should say 'lot' or something, then everyone lot or pass ASAP?

I think you'd also like texhnolyze, or however the hell it's called. XD I LOVE the series, because I totally connect with Raito/Light, and dont see him as the villain. I see L as the villain. :< And then, there are viewers who cant STAND him, and see L as the hero.

Not sure about a movie torrent. ;A: Sorry/

Yeah. I don't think L is necessarily a bad guy, but I do see him as the villain of the series. (And OMG, I bet there's a ton of Light/L slash out there!)

And woo, thanks! I'll look that one up once I have more time to watch stuff. :)

Oddly/angrily enough, they put L on top in the pairings. ;A; Nooooo. /fume

I have no problems with that order. :3 Just point me at something and I'll killit~ +_+

And saying 'lot' when the chest is popped is good. Tho I think the items are autodistributed even if you don't? I have the Hi-potion+2 from the GS run even though we didn't lot on the stuff when time ran out o.ob

Oh, that'd be perfect then! I don't care who gets what, it'd just be a shame if it was totally lost.

From what I've read of Death Note, there is no clear cut 'villain'; there are only people who act like villains at one point or another to further their own goals. To turn it into 'Light is bad/L is good' cuts out a lot of what the series is about.

As for torrents, I don't think there's any. There might be direct dls floating around the internet, but the subtitles aren't that great either. I'll keep you posted if I find anything.

Love your icon!

I don't know where good torrents are at all since the licensing flip out lately ruined a bunch of sites, but http://www.crunchyroll.com/showseries?id=723 might be good for you.
It may be the same crappy subs, but they wouldn't be out of sync like alot of YouTube stuff is.

Uh, hey, thanks!

Woo, thanks! I'll check it out from home!

Just the manga is licensed, right? Not the anime yet? (I'm 100% sure it will be really soon, if it's not already.)

Yeah the anime isn't licensed yet.

Hey Thistle, someone helped me find a torrent link for you. Would you rather I posted it here or would you like me to send it to your LJ email address?

Date: 2007-01-10 06:42 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thistle-chaser.livejournal.com
Yay! Would you mail it to my LJ address? That way I won't lose track of it.

Thank you!

Sent. Tell me if you have any problems, okay? The person who helped me out has another source for the torrent, but I don't want to bug her unnecessarily.

Will do, thank you!

Aww, isn't working, sorry. Says can't connect to the tracker (boxtorrents), and their website is failing to load as well so maybe the whole site is down?

Aw nuts. I sent another link to your email. See how it goes?
