As the dark fantasy Death Note nears its midpoint, the filmmakers continue to ramp up the tension in the deadly battle of wits between Light Yagami and detective prodigy L. Misa, the teen idol who had acquired her own notebook and attendant Shinigami (god of death), discovers Light's murderous secret identity. She attempts to recruit him as a boyfriend and suffers terribly for her efforts. Light wants to use her to destroy L, but is outfoxed by his nemesis. When L makes an uncharacteristic trip outside to visit Light at his college, the artists showcase their physical contrasts. Handsome, arrogant Light strides across the campus like a demigod; L slouches and shuffles, darting glances from beneath his uncombed hair. Although it began slowly, Death Note gets better with every installment as the stakes grow higher in the duel between Light and L. The Limited Edition comes with a collectible plastic figure of Gelus, one of the less attractive Shinigami. (Rated Teen+ Older Teen, suitable for ages 15 and older: grotesque imagery, violence, violence against women) --Charles Solomon

Product Description

Light becomes the hunter when he's forced to track down Misa, the second Kira. When she finds him first, Light realizes he has a valuable asset on his hands and asks Misa to dispose of L. But Misa's focused on other matters--in addition to her Shinigami Eyes, she's got eyes for Light! Any chance at love is dashed, however, when Misa's cover is blown and she's ordered to relinquish the Death Note. With Misa and Light detained, the killings come to a halt, but then mysteriously resume...

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, Intense, Depressing, and You'll Love Every Minute Of It!, January 31, 2008

By	Arthur Liang (Beloit, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Death Note - Vol. 3 (DVD)

This is where the show starts to get even more interesting. We find the character Light continuing to play the role of "god of the new world," ending the lives of the people he deems evil and unworthy of life. Light continues to write names in the Death Note, with the genius detective L hot on his trail. Light stays sharp so that he can eliminate L, keep his grades up, and keep Ryuk from going into withdrawal by feeding him apples. The show begins to start getting much more interesting in Volume 3 with Light entering college and L begins to keep an even closer watch on Light. More importantly, the revelation of another Death God coming to Earth with a second Death Note. The Death God not only gives the second Kira a Death Note, but they also provide a nice pair of Shinigami eyes to the owner allowing them to see everyone's name and lifespan by just looking at their face. What will this mean for Light?

5.0 out of 5 stars A battle of minds, February 18, 2008

By	shrekless (Indiana) - See all my reviews

I really enjoy this series. What would you do if you had the power to kill people just by picturing them in your head and then writing their name in a notebook? Would you do it, even if it meant eternal damnation? This is the power given to a high school student who uses it to "create an ideal world". But the laws of man cannot be ignore. A police force stumped calls in the greatest detective of their time, a man known simply as "L". "L" has never failed to solve a case, but can he catch a killer who never has contact with his victims. Can a high school student continue to kill without leaving any evidence? Watch and find out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to practice listening to Japanese, December 24, 2008

By	Milamber - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death Note, Vol. 6 (DVD)

The series is great and a good way to practice listening comprehension with Japanese as well as be entertained. It is a dark series, but for those that like murder mystery, suspense, and horror, it is a great watch.
