I've been reading the death note manga, and something very disappointing happens halfway through volume 7. I think other manga readers will know what I mean...

I haven't read the manga but I think someone blatantly spoiled it earlier in the thread :( I hope I'm mistaken though....

 

Speaking of Death Note, someone asked this earlier in the thread but didn't get much of a response. Does anyone know if watching the live action Death Note movie would spoil plot past the current point of the anime storyline?

As far as I know...

The first live action movie stops when Light first meets L face to face, which had already happened in the anime.

 

Apparently the movie changes the story a bit by giving Light a girlfriend.

Are deathnote and other Mangas available online? Delete this post if it's illegal talk.

I think so, but wouldn't know where to get it as I have the tankobans, which are available up to volume 8 in English so far.

 

Edit: I marked that spoiler tag a bit further up incorrectly- it's only a spoiler for episodes 10 and 11.

I looked at it in smiths. It was very short, and really only covered all time classics in terms of anime and manga. Very little of it was anything new. I think it was either this or Neo mag had a dvd with something to do with red steel on it, maybe a possible manga/ anime.

I've read a few issues of Neo, and it's quite good but not wonderful. There are too many interviews with Japanese transexuals and the like.

I was thinking about buying Neo a few weeks ago but I went with the SFX Anime Special instead as im used to their normal mag.

 

I expect i'll get that Manga Force whenever its got a movie that I dont own but that'll be it, and yes I was annoyed when I saw it was named Manga aswell. Its amazing only a few years ago I used to call anime manga aswell but now it annoys the hell out of me.

You guys don't know why it's called Manga Force? :shakehead

 

It's owned by Manga Entertainment, the people who own GITS, Akira etc...

 

Anyway for £9 it's not bad but I wonder what they will do for Neon Genesis Evagelion. They have it listed but I doubt they will out the whole series out so it must be one of the movies.

They've only licensed the movies, so I expect they'll just release those.

Yeah I knew it was named after the Manga Entertainment company, but as Supergrunch said they've got a stupid name too. They could pass off their company name with a simple explanation, but instead they try to make out that anime=manga. I've met plenty of people who don't realise manga means book material and not just another word for Japanese animation, mostly thanks to that very company.
