      Is deathgod fansubs still doing it? Their site has no type of news that shows updates. If they aren't, should I go with Animanda or Animenoobs

          Yeah, DG hasn't made a release since episode 14. I think I heard they're short translators, but that may not be true. As for the others…

          Animenoobs are speedsubbers. The video quality is slightly lower, but it's barely noticable unless you're sensitive about that kind of thing. They usually release like 12-16 hours after the raw.

          Animanda has slightly higher quality video, but they typically don't release until Saturday or Sunday.

            personally I been trying to figure out which looks best burned on dvd. Everyone seems to be doing white so they all blend in with L's clothing. =/

            oh and the "achooo" shiznit was pretty funny

            Daily grind got you down?

              I don't think was posted before but here's more info on the Deathnote DS game that's coming out 2/15. Also, there's also TCG that's going to be released about a month later.

                  All I've got to say is absurbly awesome. I know it won't be most people's cup of tea, but I love the crazy fest that it is. And I'm also glad to see the second part isn't going to get cut out.

                    Haha, what the hell was that.
                    But like it or not, kudos to Madhouse for trying something different.

                      This is one of the worst openings I have ever seen, but I couldn't help but laugh at it.

                            What the..? I laughed too hard while watching this. Funny work from Madhouse. But it is at least nice to see that they try something different… yet frickin' funny.

                                Wow, and I thought that it couldn't get any dumber than the first opening.

                                              The new opening reminds me of todays american's music that teens listens to. The opening made me laugh so hard though!

                                                It wounds like Japanese Slipknot, only better than Slipknot.

                                                    Am I the only person who thinks that the perfect opening theme for a Death Note anime would be some sad instrumental orchestral piece? Both openings thus far have been pretty pathetic in matching the feel of the actual series.

                                                      I have to go with that. I also did feel that its dark theme required some dark orchestral theme, or some Bethoven classic. So far, the OPs aren't even close to matching its theme, they serve more in matching Japanese Metal PVs or any extreme shounen action anime and not Death Note in my opinion. Its not like in Death Note, we see everyone in Hot Topic clothes rocking their asses of with Japanese Rock and Metal or doing crazy 1337 fights.

                                                        I dunno… while I wholly dislike the music of opening two, the animation itself is rather interesting, if for all the stuff going on around. Some sad instrumental orchestral piece I don't think could really have that type of scenario without being really, really screwed up.

                                                          SOAD is a really, really bad band and their songs are incomprehensible, poorly thought out "political" gibberish. I have not know everything about them except I've heard two songs and I've hated them.

                                                            I think the OPs and EDs we have have managed to match the series very well. I do think an orchestral piece would fit the ending of the series well, though.

                                                              i don't lilke this opening. yeah it sounds like slipknot and i hate slipknot. but it's still interesting to see that they do non conventional stuff like that.

                                                              i know it's off topic but i need to rant on that: it's way worse than the brilliant first ending of "welcome to the NHK" that little otakus listening to too much jpop hated for no other reason than "it's too hard".

                                                                SOAD is a really, really bad band and their songs are incomprehensible, poorly thought out "political" gibberish. I have not know everything about them except I've heard two songs and I've hated them.

                                                                You've only heard what's on the radio. This band isn't nearly as good as they used to be, their first cd (the self-titled) is absolute brilliance. The vocals are some of the most dynamic in "heavy" music, and most of it is really, really catchy.

                                                                <3<3<3<3<3 the new opening.

                                                                And those of you who hate EXTREEEEME music, at least its different/cool animation.

                                                                I'm predicting opening 3 will be something more along the lines of sad classical tho, that would make sense.

                                                                P.S. Slipknot is the gay. Listen to something besides what the mall tells you to.

                                                                        I wish I could've seen the meeting where these people decided this was the perfect opening.

                                                                        It's so… I can't even describe it... I almost want to think it's a parody or something.

                                                                        But oh god, the million laughing Lights and the Ryuk hardcore apple chasing.... oh god

                                                                        @bennyb:

                                                                        The new opening is GREAT. Finally something besides a J-rock/pop cookie cutter.

                                                                        Japanese System of a Down, anyone?

                                                                        The only way I can think of that can draw a line from "Japanese System of a Down" to the word "great" is if the Japanese equivalent is better because you can't understand their hideous lyrics.

                                                                        Even then, that doesn't excuse the laughably stupid and horrendous animation going on

                                                                        the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit

                                                                                      However, I am biased since for the past 10 years of my life the main genre I've been into is metal, hardcore, etc., so I like alot of chaotic/angry/frustrating sounding music.

                                                                                      Not to mention, I really feel the fast pace, surrealness and sensory-overload of this OP is perfect for events to come.

                                                                                      Hell, the first time I read death note I felt like my brain was gonna asplode.
