Hmm, this is odd. Don't they usually do this for just anime for younger kids like pokemon.

Anyways, I wouldn't mind a DN blanket.

Oh and I bet ML would like a Misa pillowcase.

PostPosted: **Sat May 10, 2008 11:44 pm**

They aren't full body pillows. Don't want em.

ONLY KIDDING.

Seriously, an 8 year old getting Naruto sheets, I can understand, but DEATH NOTE blankets? That's pretty creepy. Keychains and ordinary merchandise is cool though.

No trading cards! License the video game already!

Oh and are they going to start manufacturing Death Notebooks as well? So little kids can start writing each others name down.

Awww, come on! Don't you want to create a cozy atmosphere and brighten up any room of your house with shinigami pillows?

I do think Ryuk is a nice enough character so kids should have no problem with a Ryuk pillow, plus he's a card! Light on the other hand is more scary than Ryuk. I think with an L pillow you'd be paranoid every time you went to sleep, its that creepy stare.

Ryuk has a stare that I don't really want to see, when I'm trying to go to bed.

Well, Ryuk's stare is a little creepy at first but Ive gotten used to it. I mean he's like the comic relief in the anime.

PostPosted: **Sun May 11, 2008 12:12 am**

A Ryuk pillow I could embrace tightly and happily.

An L pillow, on the other hand, just might make me vomit.

Seriously, Ryuk is adorable and lovable, but L is the creepiest character in the whole series. YES I JUST DECLARED THAT L ONE-UPS LIGHT IN CREEPINESS.

Dude don't encourage him. >.>

Besides if I was getting a full body pillow I don't think Death Note would be my first series of choice.

Bag 'em and tag 'em.

I am seldom as crass as to assume the quality of a series declines inverse to its marketable popularity, but there is a line.

PostPosted: **Sun May 11, 2008 2:36 am**

Headwear? HEADWEAR?! Please tell me what kind of headwear can you make with ANYTHING from Death Note?

I can, however, see the food and beverage thing..."Light's Epic Potato Chips--Bet you can't eat just one while killing the masses!" I can also see how an "L" throw blanket can be really popular. I swear, if I see a girl with a throw blanket at work with "L" on it, I've found my soul mate!!

Today Death Note sheets and pillowcases...tomorrow...

PostPosted: **Sun May 11, 2008 5:21 am**

I kind of like Light's taste in formal wear. I think Armani ought to do a line of suits inspired by him.

L, on the other hand, has no fashion sense. Plus he's got this oral fixation that Freud would have a field day over. But I digress...

I've been in the "Post your Picture" thread before...1/2 of CAA looks like "L". :lol:

Well, considering my two stuffed animals are a Skelecat and a toro with a dart in it's side, this is right up my alley. XD

And I'm not sure which would be scarier: being encouraged to get on a Pokemon plane or a Death Note plane.

Ooo~ Your poor stuffed animals.

Hey, I'm all for an L pillow/ETC. Anything L is fine with me. XD

CREEPYYYY

*runs and hides* XD

In defense of Viz they made FMA and Inuyasha blankets too.. . >_>

PostPosted: **Sun May 11, 2008 10:55 am**

*gasps*

Did you say InuYasha blankets?! 8D *shuts up* Um, they didn't happen to make Sesshomaru blankets, perchance? Just wondering. ^^;

PostPosted: **Sun May 11, 2008 4:45 pm**

Wow. I think I would buy a Ryuk blanket. I think my mom will think I finally hit mental rock bottom.
I don't think I'll buy anything with Light on it. He kinda frightens me. I think I had a nightmare of him last night XD.

I got one more scary then the Pokemon paint job plane or if they did do a paint job with Death Note on it.

Hello Kitty paint job

And look at the name of the airline.

[font="Palatino Linotype"]'Cause Sesshomaru is epic win on a platter...on a stick.

>XD

DEATHNOTE STUFFS!!!! *runs to get money*

I want the L blankie!!
Now, I can be a Morbid Linus!
((Kudos to anyone who gets that joke))

headgear, headgear.....hmm....Ryuk mask?
Misa headband?
Apple-patterned headband with the words 'DeathNote' in writing all over it?

YES!!!!! :jump:

PostPosted: **Sun May 11, 2008 6:35 pm**

I want an L blanket.

So I can burn the witch.

I wouldn't really care what was painted on the outside of a plane though, considering I'd only see it from the airport waiting room.

Ha! I remember seeing that a while back. But what is really scary is the Hello Kitty themed wedding.

How do you talk someone into that?

Wow. A Death Note paint job. *imagines* I can't imagine it. Shinigami Air? Why would anyone want to ride a plane with a Shinigami on it? I mean, a Shinigami. A god of death.
Worse if L is on it. Not good attraction for customers.

PostPosted: **Sun May 11, 2008 7:05 pm**

[font="palatino Linotype"]*cries*
I'd fly on it.......
.......
As long as it doesn't fly every 41 seconds, it should be fine!!!

You have two choices.

The Hello Kitty wedding or the Hello Kitty FUNERAL.

PostPosted: **Mon May 12, 2008 4:45 am**

I won't mind a Light or L throw blanket, but it would probably somehow end up on my wall and my parents would take me for therapy.

Also, if there was a Death Note wedding, I'd be seriously hesitant about signing my name on the marriage certificate.
