What is Death note?

The murder weapon from the popular anime/manga series, Death Note. To use the death note all one needs to do is write a person's name down while picturing their face.

The owner of the death note is haunted by a shinigami for the entire time they have it. They may make the "eye trade" with the shinigami at anytime, which would give them the ability to see a person's name just by looking at them.

You may not want to fuck with Light, or he'll write your name down in his death note

What does "Death note" mean?

In my opinion, the greatest comic / cartoon of the 21st century. Maybe it's due to the fact that:

-The manga series was finished when the anime begin, so it doesn't have that many unnecessary fillers like Naruto and Bleach etc...

-The story is neither too long nor too short and has an ending, unlike the majority with unlimited episodes+fillers.

-Its original yet suspenseful storyline is a breath of fresh air from the typical teenage anime/manga you see.

-A battle of wits instead of flashy attacks.

If you're a fan of the manga death note, then you might as well check out "LIAR GAME", written by Shinobu Kaitani.

Death note - what does it mean?

An amazing anime about a high school genius named Light, and an equally smart detective named L.

Also, it focuses a lot on snacks. Dramatically.

Typical Scene from Death Note:

Light: Just watch me L, I'll solve equations with my right hand and write names with my left...I'll take a potato chip...AND EAT IT! *potato chip sparkles*

Death note - meaning

one of the newest, most popular and up-and-coming animes I've ever seen. it's not like most traditional animes that focus on fighting, evolving, building up power, or involving some kind of giant mech machine. No, Death Note is a story of a brilliant boy named Light who finds a supernatural note book dropped deliberately by a bored Death god (Ryuk). The note has the ability to kill anybody whose name is written in it. Furthermore, the time of death, cause of death, and events leading up to the death can all be manipulated simply by writing it down. Light chooses to use this amazing notebook to "judge" the world. He begins executing criminals and believes justice is on his side. He figures soon all crime will cease altogether and he will rule this world as its "God". Unfortunately for Light, the police are trying to solve the mystery of the strange deaths that are killing off all convicted criminals. Having no major leads, they call in "L", a super detective whom rarely anyone has met. He has never failed a case, and is incredibly smart. By this time, the world has branded the person believed responsible for criminal deaths as "Kira" meaning "killer". Soon enough, a battle of wits ensues between Kira and L. L is trying to find out who Kira is. Light is trying to find out who L is, and what's his name. Whoever obtains their goal first wins, and the loser faces the penalty of death.

I strongly recommend this anime. It's different, suspenseful, dark, and more suited for teens not children. It's already been made into two movies. and a third is on the way, based on the character "L".

Jeff:"Hey man, have you watched Death Note?"
Craig:"No , what the heck is it?"
Jeff:"It's a show about a friggin' notebook that KILLS people!"
Craig:"Sweeeet."

"L": "Light come out of the bathroom. You've been in there for over an hour."
Light: "Not now. busy. writing in my death note."
"L": "What was that? Death whaat?"
Light: "I mean--oh shit."

Death note

1) The anime / manga serise death note is amazing. A Bored 17 year old named Light Yagami (or Yagami Raito) Picks up a Death Note droped by an equaly bored shinigami named Ryuk. If you write a name in the death note while thinking about a persons face they die. Light tests this out and discovers it is true. He decideds to rid the world of evil by killing criminals, he intends to become the "God of the new world!" Lights father is a Police officer working with L to try to catch Kira (which is what there calling the person killing all the criminals). THe anime/manga turns into a complicated cat and mouse game between L and light, if L can prove Light is Kira, he will be executed, if light can find out Ls real name he can kill him with the death note.

2) Death note is The name of the "wepon" in Death note. it is literaly a notebook of death. anyone whos name is written in the note book dies.
3) Death note has been made into 2 movies in japan and there is also a sequel to it called L change the world. There is a possibilty that the americans are making Death note into a movie.
4)There is a lot of Death note fanfictions the majoirty of which are Yaoi usualy between L and Light, Mello and Matt, Mello and Near, Mello and L, Ryuk and Light. L and Light seems to be the most popular. There are many places in which you will find yaoi death note stories/pictures. google images, fanfiction.net, Deviant art, there are even role plays on facebook.

1)"I Will take a potato chip AND EAT IT" (everybodys favorite quote
2)One of the rules in the death note "who evers name is written in the death note shall die"
3) 1) Death note. 2) Death note the last name and L change the world.

4)""You'd have to torture it out of me," Light teased, rolling onto his side, away from L.
"If your father ever realised how much I enjoyed watching you, Light, he would have skinned me alive," L mused. He reached over me to put the can on the bedside table, and settled down until he was lying beside me. "Tell me, Light...what if I told your father the truth about you? The little charade you played, to let him think you were straight?"
