CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Adult Swim has announced on the Message Boards that Death Note will be the new anime that we've been promised for so long. Here's a link to the thread:

I don't know beans about this anime, and I'm currently printing out the Wikipedia articles on it, but from what I've heard about it it look VERY interesting...I'm especially interested in the English V/A cast; save for one person, Brian Drummond, I don't recognize any of the names!

Thoughts? Opinions? "Socks, why the heck are you awake at 4:00 in the morning?"

OOH AWESOME I CAN WATCH IT NOW! (I seriously don't have time for anything -but- AS anime ^^; I am lame right? :C

What were the other animes that people were thinking AS would get?

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]Well, I remember seeing a bump on Adult Swim that said something like:

"Astroboy is the newest anime you're getting. Deal."

Kitchan, be glad you get to watch Adult Swim--because of my work schedule, I'm lucky if I'm still awake that late on my weekend's off! I really have to start setting my VCR timer again--I don't wanna miss Death Note![/color][/SIZE][/font]

I can't say I'm surprised. Death Note is certainly popular enough that I was expecting Adult Swim to go for it.

I guess that's cool. I never did finish the anime, but what I saw of it (something like 10 episodes) was fairly intriguing, and I can probably find time to watch it on TV. Additionally, I'm curious to hear how the dub sounds.

But yeah, that's pretty neat.

It would make sense that Death Note would appear. It's widely popular and it's very well made.

"SWIM FOR THE BEIJING OLYMPICS, MATSUDA!"

Dang, and I wanted the Death Note club to be exclusive...now every fanboy is going to be dressed as 'L' at Otakon 2008.

I love Adult Swim stuff, but I also like to watch my anime subbed. Basically I only watch AS anime to get a feel for the show and see if I want to watch it subbed.

...but I guess it is just me.

Anyhow Death Note lost a bit of steam for me when
((**Warning! do not look if have not watched the series!!**))

Already happened. Not just Otakon, but EVERY con.

*Points to Debitt* lol

[color="Red"](Death Note was supposed to be exclusive? I saw literally several dozen DN cosplayers at Metrocon... last July. At least half of them were L.)[/color]

Awsome, been waiting 4 it to come to adult swim. perfect timing too right as we r entering the month of october, aka the month of Halloween.

Death Note will fit their general perspective and lineup well. On the negative side, there will be yet another phase of people who don't know the ending and don't want it spoiled for them.

There are still people who don't? I haven't seen or read Death Note yet, and I've heard the bulk of the story without even trying.

Unfortunately the link didn't work so can you tell us when this is supposed to start.Will it replace Blood+ when it ends or is this for some later time?Details please.

I am so excited. BTW there is a big fanbase of Death Note here in the Lone Star State. When I went to A-Kon 18 there were so many Light cosplayers I was about to faint.

Thank goodness AS got it...I could only imagine what butchering could/would happen if Toonami or something got their grubby little hands on it D:

Yeah, the fanbase of Death Note is already pretty massive. XD It's hardly ever been an "exclusive anime", as was noted earlier, so I doubt there'll be much of a change as far as the fanbase goes. *shrug*

Gee! Guess I really DID break the story to CAA! I thought for SURE someone was going to get it/already got it! Man, I feel needed!

Anywho, according to ASMB, Death Note is going to premiere on October 20th at 12:00AM. Which, for me, is around the time I take my first break at work..DARN YOU AT&T!!!!!

Anyway, I've never seen the anime or the manga, but I printed out (from the office printers) a summary on Wikipedia and it sounds like something worth programming my VCR for!

Don't know...

but I know a few people on another site that WANTED it to go to Toonami. One of them says it's "not AS material".

LOL.

That's just sick and wrong.
Those people need to be smacked with a fish.

haha..that was an exciting mental image!

...but anyway,to be on topic,I'm really excited for something new on AS! I just wish they'd get rid of Perfect Hair Forever on Saturday nights...

::is smacking a mackrel in his hands:: Don't worry Okami-chan. I got it covered...

Anyway, I'm a little amazed that ADV didn't get this license. This seems right up their alley.

Actually, I was really, really surprised with ADV's dub of Air so far. It's about as good as the sub, seriously. XD

And if I'm not mistaken, I believe Viz got Death Note (though for some reason, I want to say Funimation...well, one of the two. XD).

Viz Media--the same people who brought us Pokemon, Hamtaro, and Zoids!

Imagine THAT promotional poster: L crouched down looking at Hamtaro wearing Ash's cap.

Come on, Viz loves Shonen Jump. Why wouldn't they get Death Note?

Unless another production company beat them to it.
