Consistently riveting and suspenseful

The four episodes comprising the second volume of DEATH NOTE remain as gripping and intense as the first volume. What I really enjoy about these episodes is that each one really tries to develop and expand the story. Never does the story stand still or simply mark time.

Light becomes an increasingly dark character (a not unintentionally irony) as he begins to use the Death Note in more indiscriminate fashion. He barely retains any regard for human life, instead more concerned with setting up a world that he can mold in his own fashion. The most horrific episode is certainly the one where he strives desperately to learn the name of a woman on his trail so that he can use the Death Note to kill her.

Most animated series are based either on comedy or on action. DEATH NOTE has to be the first one based primarily on reasoning. Significant portions of each episode revolve around Light or L talking about their own strategies or tactics or figuring out those of their opponents. I can think of another show that takes critical thinking so seriously. I think this is at least part of its wide appeal. It values the brain to a degree that few other shows do.

The new English dub chapter in this incredible Anime series

Since I first saw this on Adultswim I became completely captivated by this new import from Japan. I have bought all the current English dubbed dvds and this series has now become my favorite anime. This series has intrigue, suspense, supernatural elements including horror. A very faithful adaptation of the hit manga series.

L. Versus Kira!

This is the second collection of Death note episodes, one of the most compelling and amazing animes of all time. It tells the story of Light Yagami, an intelligent university student with a strong sense of justice who accidentally picks up a notebook owned by a God of Death. Slowly, he starts killing off criminals under the guise of Kira ('Killer'), becoming more and more like those who kills in the process. The storyline is incredibly amazing and faithful to the original mangas, while the artwork is absolutely perfect. And the music and English vocals are a perfect match as well. As a result, this is one of those animes that even people who normally don't like cartoons can get into.

On these four further episodes, the mind games between L. and Kira continue as each tries to ratchet up the intensity. Light (as Kira) has already forced L. to reveal his identity to the Japanese police, but L. is already beginning to suspect that Light IS Kira. Now Light has to deal with surveillance cameras and bugs in his room, as the task force, led by L. of course, spies on him. And worse yet, the fiance of Ray Pember (the FBI agent Kira killed) confronts Light with evidence that could reveal too much about Kira's powers. How can he get rid of her without knowing her real name? The plot continues to thicken with this DVD.

So if you enjoyed the first set of episodes, you won't by disappointed by the further (and even more complex) mindgames between L. and Kira. The intensity juts keeps getting better and better with each part of the saga released. And once you make it through this outing, you'll eagerly be awaiting volume 3!

Death Note is spectacular

I love how the authors have us rooting for Light the entire series. It's amazing. I only watch this anime and Bleach, and Death Note is now one of my favorite shows of all time. Suspenseful, thoughtful, and things actually happen (main characters are not immune to being killed). I'd suggest watching it from the beginning, but I had a friend start watching it in the middle of the series and she was hooked half way through the first episode she watched. Even if you don't like anime or other Adult Swim shows, you will love Death Note.

great part of a great series

i have finished this entire series and i must say that i liked it alot. many people who do not like this series feel so because the way the series wraps up, unfortunately the ending of death note was slightly disappointing, but overall this show is great and im still going to buy all the dvds
