ya when does it air because i want to watch it so badly. Go Youtube where there is an amzing number of fans. One person posted episode 13 and got 18,000 hits thought they lied and it was jsut junk.

I clicked it too. That was such BS. He just took the opening theme and then took a couple pictures just to make it look like an episode. Such a waste of time on his part.

The episode was really good. I like how it explained more about the other Kira (the girl). I liked the ending too when Light and the girl are wondering about each other. They are closer than they think  ;)

Can't wait for the next episode.

I just have one question, I think everybody should give their take on this.

What is the significance of the apple or apples? We see the apple in the intro, and we see Ryuk eating apples. Does this possibly have anything to do with why Ryuk is following Light?

Does anyone know why episode 8 and 9 both do not have any seeders? I want to see them really badly!   :'(  I currently have all of the books published and out in stores ^_^  Sad sad ending ...  But if you possibly can, please please please get some seeders?  ;)

Download the torrents and leech them. They work. The tracker is messed up on scarywater...so it just SAYS 0 seeders when really there are tons.

The TV in bag with mini-pencil was a clever idea, but throwing it away the way he did was an unnecessary risk.  An empty chip bag and one with a TV in it do not fall the same way.  When Light dumped his wastebasket, his mother could have noticed something amiss and being a good mother might have checked to make sure Light wasn't accidentally throwing away something important.  Taking it one step further, what if L had dressed up one of his minions as the garbage collector?  I think Light must have realized the risk on some level since he makes sure to watch the trash bags get compacted.  Factoring in the considerable cost, I'll be surprised if we see this method again anytime soon.

The question I've been working on lately is whether Ryuk wants Light to succeed.  The chances of the Death Note falling into the hands of someone more calculating (and thus entertaining for Ryuk) is remote, so should Light ever be captured it would mean the end of Ryuk's fun.  However, I can't shake the feeling that Ryuk only appears to be in Light's corner.  Like a NASCAR fan who's in it for the crashes, the reason Ryuk is hanging around and observing so closely may be to see an eventual defeat.  We saw previously when Naomi gave Light a false name, Ryuk did nothing to assist, though his amusement inadvertently provided a clue.  Was Ryuk really unable to say anything?  Even though he technically is not supposed to interfere, Ryuk later does in fact assist Light when he locates all the security cameras.  Superficially, this is so he can continue eating apples, but I believe the real reason for confirming that there is nowhere to hide from the cameras is to create a challenge for Light.  The key factor linking these two incidences is that Ryuk's actions (or inaction) make things harder for Light and force him to think of some devious solution to his situation.  I think Ryuk's role in the story is too passive to directly lead Light to ruin, but I wouldn't rule out Ryuk failing to help out at a key moment in the future if it meant being entertained.

I agree with this point and I think this is important. Ryuk didn't exactly ASSIST Light, but he did do enough to provide an answer. Why didn't Ryuk say anything to Light if nobody else can see him? Ryuk assisted Light with the security cameras, but why didn't he provide a clear answer to the Naomi incident?

With all said and done, I think Ryuk is just toying with Light. The main reason I believe Ryuk is with Light is to persuade him into giving him half of his life span, in exchange for a pair of eyes of a death god. I think Ryuk knows that if Light does this deal, it will come back to haunt him in the future. What happens if Light makes the eye deal and all of the pages of the death note are finished? What use do the eyes have then? It's going to be good to watch the later episodes and find out what Ryuk's true motive is.

Oh, I just joined and I didn't get to mention anything earlier in this thread haha. I just want to say that Light is my favourite character in the series. I just like how he is confident and intelligent.

Finally, can anybody update me on the whole Viz situation? It appears that they are definately going to license Death Note since they have licensed the manga. Does anybody know when they are going to license it. I am just afraid because once it's licensed, Live-Evil will stop fan-subbing it and we are going to hear messed up voices in the translated version.
