Okay, there didn't seem to be one of these (I checked this time! :D) so I decided to make it~! I think there are a few DN fans around TCoD, despite nobody really ever talking about it.

I'm not going to bother with a members list unless somebody tells me what they're actually used for; otherwise, this could be used for discussion like other clubs?
 
Join~ <3

Death Note is one of my favorite animes, even if it very slightly hurts my head at times. I, uh... don't really have anything interesting to say about it, but I very much enjoy it~ =D
 
I'm joining. Death Note is awesome. A friend of mine went to Japan last year to compete in the Yu-gi-oh world championships, and he came back with a couple Death Notes as souvenir. They were awsome, and a little creepy after seeing what was done with them on the show.
 
Yay, Death Note is awesome.

Light is my favourite character, because he's batshit insane. That potato chip scene is old but it still makes me smile.

Death Note is still one of mah favourite shows. However, I personally dislike when it goes into the Yotsuba Arc. That was just plain annoying >.>
 
I haven't seen the anime myself... probably will get round to it at some point, but since the infamous potato chip scene is the only bit I've seen has put me off a bit. XD

Ahh, I love Light as well! Very developed character~
 
Sure, why not? :V

I love most of the characters, although L, Light, Mikami, and Mello stand out particularly.

Byrus' avatar reminds me of this. Also DN-related!
 
I can't pretend I don't have issues with how deeply sexist it is, but it's a very addictive, engaging, fast-paced read (speaking as someone who's only read the manga). Yes, it slowed down after *ahem* certain events in volume 7, but it was still very enjoyable.

Favourite characters have to be Ryuk and Matsuda. who are my DN OTP

And I'm not the only one who found the fact that the Evil Company Of Doom was called Yotsuba utterly hilarious, right?

What's so funny about that?

I wish to join. I followed the anime so any differences between the manga and anime I know nothing of. My favorite character would have to be N/Nate. He's so cute and he's like L only...not as dark and serious.

It was slightly sexist I guess, I don't think there were enough female leads either, but I did actually really like the three main females; Naomi, Misa and Rem. I thought they were great and really well-developed.

*mind is bleached by your OPT* XDD

I DID I kept imagining her with a Death Note... x3
 
(ack; I am so, so sorry for turning this into another feminist rant - it's just that it really bugs me when there aren't any decent female characters)

It's not so much about the numbers of women, but how they're portrayed; this pretty much sums up the gender roles in Death Note. The fact it's presented by an adorably chibi Matsuda makes it all the better.

...thinking about it, I can't think of anyone in Death Note who I actually ship - which is weird for me, because I'm shallow and half the appeal of getting into a show/manga/game/anything is to stalk the online fandom and generally immerse myself in slash.

I do wish that at least one of the task force was female, like in the DN movies. And I think Rem and Wedy seem to be the only strong and developed female characters. Misa might have been a bit more interesting if she didn't trust Light as easily.
In the movie version, Takada was a stronger character, actually. She turned from just a Misa in the original to a woman who actually changes like Light from someone who just wants to let the world know of her knowledge into the Kira case into a powerhungry business person like Higuchi.

Rem and Jealous shipping? :)
 
Oh God, guys, not the female character talk again. I'm not one to get my panties in a bunch because of this stuff, but the portrayal did sort of bother me. Misa is a dumb blond. Takada was indeed stronger, but she bothers me. I'm a Hal hater, which has nothing to do with it. Sayu was pretty cool I guess...

Naomi. Naomi was wonderful, honestly. Her character was great, and her awesome role in the BB case was amazing. Too bad, though, really.

MattxMello forever btw
 
I can never understand how Matt got so popular. He was pretty much a last minute character.
 
I never really got the whole Matt popularity thing, either. Is he more of a main character in the anime? I don't think I even noticed him in the manga the first time I read it.

Are the live-action DN movies any good? I keep seeing them and wanting to buy them, but they're £20 each, and I really don't want to spend that on something that's not that great.

Argh, I keep meaning to borrow the BB case novel-thingummy off my friend. Is that any good?

No, Matt is like a minor guest character who only appears for around 2 minutes in the 35th episode. I think the difference is that a special song is played when he appears, even though it is not his theme as the soundtrack does not clearly say "Matt's theme", (spoilers, just in case)he gets shot down by all of Takada's guards, while I think he only gets shot by one of them in the manga, and he looks like he has green hair even though he had dark red hair. I guess it was just the way they decided to light his scenes.

Although I haven't seen the exact beginning of the first film, they are both pretty good, and follow the story pretty well through to the Yotsuba arc, while having some things only in the movie, such as Light's girlfriend, some different scenes and a very big difference in Naomi's death. It has a calm, sort of feel about it, oddly. Kind of hard to explain. Pretty good acting as well, and not really any problems with either. Definitely an interesting take off the original story worth watching.

I haven't seen anything of a BB case novel anywhere, but I have heard about it. :)
 
No, he really had green hair. The fans made his hair red, because the manga was released before the anime and there were no color pictures. Matt is very minor, but I'm pretty sure that's what made his popularity.

I've never seen much of the movies, but I've read the novel, and it was GREAT. Go get it now, you'll love it. I won't spoil any of it either. :)
 
Oh, I've read the BB novel.

When I first heard about Beyond Birthday on dA or something, I seriously thought for a long time that he was someone's crappy fancharacter. xD; It was probably the whole "looks exactly like L" thing or something. After reading the novel, though, I have to say he's pretty dang awesome. Although I do wish we could have gotten to see more of his real personality. You know that he's the killer, that he has the shinigami eyes, and that he's pretty batshit crazy, but for the whole book he's acting exactly like L to mislead you.

I think my favorite female character is Rem, although Naomi was pretty awesome too.

I never really understood Matt's popularity either; my best guess is he's rather attractive and seems pretty close to Mello for easy slashability. :p
 
B is psychotic, I tend to like characters like that.

What about A? My portrayal of A... Same appearance as L and B, just calmer, and more laid back. Blue eyes, instead of dead and shinigami. I feel bad for him. I get in a sad mood whenever I think about what A could have become. Also, the fact that we'll probably never know much about him.

Matt is indeed rather attractive, and he looooooves Mello.
