Re: Death Note

Found scanlations and have been zooming through.

The first few volumes are AWSOME. Then the action changes... and it sucks for a few. Then it changes again and it's back to being AWSOME for a few chapters and now...

There were about 5 or so points where the story could have ended. But it keeps going.

Too many cast members, too much "side" stuff, poor choices of action.


Which is really a damned shame cause it was so damned good to start with....

DN is IMO the best manga ever bar none. let me know when you get caught up-- there are scanlations for up to 91 and raws for up to 92 (they're really good about keeping up to date with the translations)...

i am so hardcore in love with this fandom right now, i'm glad someone else is giving it a look! you'll appreciate the complexity after a few chapters more, i think-- where are you now?

ME TOO!! But I'm nowhere near as far as you are probably. I'm nearing the end of volume 2 right now. *loves it so much*

I haven't read past 58. Can't. Not ready yet. Getting there.

Can understand that.

Actualy, past 58 is kinda... mostly dissapointment. Cause I mean.. how can you go on after that, ya know?

It'd be like if MoO kept going after the last ep, ya know?
