Death Note (animated) Complete Set Repackage

One of the best anime thrillers, supernatural, detective series of all time. Here is my review for Death Note the Complete Series! Enjoy! Plot and Characters: (minor spoilers only) One day in a relm called the Shinigami world, a board Shinigami (aka Reaper of death) Ryuk drops a mystical note book that when any humans name is written in the book shall die. A high school student at the time and genius Light Yagami who is wishing to do better justice in the world finds the book. Skeptical at the time when he finds the Death Note, takes it along with him. When he sees a girl getting harassed by some bikers he writes down the bikers name and the biker dies of a heart attack. Then he kills another vandal by him getting hit by a truck. Shocked at what he done he goes into an ally and pukes. Finding out that the Death Note is real, goes home and looks at other criminal names and starts killing them off. When Light takes a break he is met by Ryuk the Shinigami who tells Light he may kill as many people as he want with the note book and do everything, Ryuk will leave once and for all when either the note book is destoryed or Light dies which ever comes first. So now Light goes on a complete power trip and thinks as him self as a mortal god who will kill he finds all to be evil and make the perfect utopia. After so many killings Light takes over the name as everyone called him Kira which translated in the anime means Killer in japanese. Then not soon after Light/Kira faced with the worlds greatest dective of all time, a boy called "L" who vows to find Kira and stop him from killing once and for all. This starting the ultimate Cat and Mouse game. Pros: Amazing, super awesome, top of the line storyline here. It is so well written and thought out I watched the whole series three times from start to finnish and still got sucked into the story each time and love it still. The characters are extremely well developed, the action is going strong, the music in the series is awesome! This series containing all 37 episodes is feature with both english and japanese dubbed and subbed. The extra's are trailers for other anime's, behind the scenes of Death Note with the english cast and theme and ending songs without titles. The box it comes in is very nice but flimzy at best, the box shows Ryuk's fact, one the back it gives a few details about the show and some pictures from random episodes like all dvds back covers generic like. Two of the most reconized english dubbed cast members Brad Swaile who played the main character Light Yagami, And Brian Drummond plays Ryuk the Shinigami. Brad Swaile also played Rokuro Okajimi, Brian Drummond plays Benny from the Black Lagoon anime series (check out my review for it please!!!) Cons: The only con I have with the series is the box, one day I accidently dropped the box on the ground and the paper of the box tore slightly, so be very careful with the box and how you handle it. Over all: This is one of the best anime series of all time, its a total Thriller and will keep you on your toes guessing who will get who in the end. BUY THIS SERIES!!!! it is the best around!!!!

I'll admit it. I saw this series for the first time on Netflix so I'm not as familiar with it as others are but I figured I'd write my own review anyway because there's something I have to clear up. For those wanting a blu-ray release, there isn't even one in Japan. And there's a reason for it. This is a digitally created animation, therefor whatever resolution they animated it at is where it's going to stay. I'm going to assume, given the year it was released, it was animated at 480p SD. The reason why other series such as Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and Cowboy Bebop have gotten the blu-ray treatment recently is because those are cel animation. That means they were hand drawn and laid to film. The resolution on those are basically limitless, so a blu-ray release is justified. Death Note, however, would need to be upscaled to HD and sometimes this can make it look WORSE. Therefor Death Note would not benefit from a blu-ray release and it's likely we'll never see one unless of course they do an HD remaster. Onto the actual review, I'm not gonna go too in depth because if you've never seen it then it would suck if something were to be spoiled for you. Besides, if you're reading this you probably already know what it's about. All you need to know is, even if you're not a fan of anime, you should enjoy this. You'll be in awe at how complex, well written, and well executed it is right off the bat. You'll also be surprised at how smart and intelligent the characters are. All of the characters' thoughts are expressed out loud so you know the reasons for their actions or the conclusions they come to. This not only makes the series much more easy to follow but also establishes their theories in a realistic way so it doesn't seem like they're pulling them out of thin air. If you're a fan of mindgames and manipulation look no further. The characters don't waste any time questioning if their actions are right or wrong. One of the best aspects of the series is that it lets the viewer decide what's right and wrong and doesn't tell you who you should root for. This makes it very difficult to just simply pick a side. Almost everyone I've asked has given me a different answer when I asked who they rooted for throughout the series. It's also very well paced and all of the side stories and characters have a purpose so if that was a concern don't panic. It's a fairly unique experience so if you want something similar to it you're going to end up disappointed. I've been searching for another anime like this one for a long time and haven't found one. People have recommended me anime such as Monster and Code Geass because I enjoyed Death Note but they're really nothing alike at all. The audio options are English and Japanese 2.0. So those wanting the dub, it's included. It comes in two separate DVD cases (one for each season) in a slip cover. There are 5 discs in each (37 episodes across 9 discs plus a bonus disc). Each case has its own unique box art. The packaging is quite nice. It would've been cool to have an episode guide with character bios and artwork but I'm not gonna complain. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this release and I think everyone should have it in their collection.

Great quality and cute packaging. has english and japanese and subtitles

Death Note is not just the greatest anime I've ever seen, but it is one of the greatest tv series I've seen. I'm not someone who watches a lot of anime, but back in middle school I loved Dragon Ball Z. It used to come on cartoon network every day at 5, and me and my friends watched every episode. I also have fond memories of a few other shows that used to come on after Dragon Ball Z like Outlaw Star which is amazing as well. I first heard about Death Note on a forum post in reddit, and I decided to give it a try. The first episode was good, but didn't really get me that interested, but then after the plot got really rolling in episode 2, this became an addiction. Death Note is the story of a Teenager who discovers a book, and it has the power to kill anyone whose name is written in it. He soon becomes the most wanted man in the world, and is hunted by a computer hacker genius named L. Death Note is the Breaking Bad of Anime. Both shows feature a protagonist with questionable morals, who just keep digging their own graves deeper and deeper as the show goes on. The only complaint I have about Death Note is that there is a shocking twist about 2/3rd's of the way through that almost ruins the show. I really think the show should have ended right there, but it keeps going, but it becomes a lot less interesting. Even with that flaw, I still gave it a five out of five because the show is just that good. Obviously anime is an acquired taste, and this show is not for everyone. There are some daemons and fantasy elements that may not be of interest to some people, but you really should give it a chance and watch the first few episodes at least.

Item arrived on time and in perfect condition. 2 dvd cases with 5 discs each, includes Japanese or English dub and English subtitles. The English dub is good but I prefer to watch the Japanese dub with subtitles. Love the anime itself, it is great!! Can't wait to finish, I think I've found a new favourite!!

Il primo ordine arrivato in condizioni pessime. Il secondo accettabili. Il costo non vale il prodotto a meno che non si abbia proprio la smania di avere la serie completa di un manga di grande livello.

Llegó en buen estado y a tiempo la serie en sí es genial no hace falta decirlo. Siendo un anime realmente no hay gran diferencia en la calidad que te da un DVD vs un Blu Ray

Came on time. had all of the series in it, and it came with being able to watch it with the choise to watch it either in English dub, or in Japanese with the English sub. I'm really happy with this purchase

I love the story,best psychological thriller I've ever come across!!
