Shorty Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 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?

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.
AshMat Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Are deathnote and other Mangas available online? Delete this post if it's illegal talk. Also, i was going to pick up the first issue of Manga Force for Ghost in The Shell, i've heard it's good. Opinions?
Supergrunch Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 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.
Ashley Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Seen an advert for this a few times now; http://www.otakunews.com/article.php?story=1032
Dante Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Seen an advert for this a few times now; http://www.otakunews.com/article.php?story=1032 Yeah, same here Ashley.
Domstercool Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Bought that today at work for £2.99. You basically get the DVD and then some A4 booklet with like 8 pages in about info on the anime. 2.99 isn't bad, bought it for Ghost In the Shell since I don't own that on DVD.
Supergrunch Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 It might be good, but I don't like their current choice of shows... Plus it's anime, not manga.

The magazine is 8 pages long :|
demonmike04 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Im considering buying that magazine, I can fork out £9 per fortnight.
Dante Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Dont magazines normally go up five pounds after the first issue.
Shorty Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Great another media to confuse the general public with regard to the terms "anime" and "manga"....
Ashley Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Dont magazines normally go up five pounds after the first issue. Yeah £3 for the first issue, £9 there after.
AshMat Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I bought that manga force mag for GitS, though i had mentioned it a few posts before the news.
Ten10 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 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.

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.
Happenstance Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 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.
Calza Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 You guys don't know why it's called Manga Force? 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.
Happenstance Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Should be interesting to see, I wont be buying those ones anyway as I think my next anime purchase is gonna be the NGE Complete Platinum Edition
Supergrunch Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 You guys don't know why it's called Manga Force? It's owned by Manga Entertainment, the people who own GITS, Akira etc... I was aware of that, but their company has a stupid name, given that they only sell anime...

They've only licensed the movies, so I expect they'll just release those.
Shorty Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 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.
Happenstance Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Yep thats what got me confused originally aswell when I bought Akira and Street Fighter II
