Manga or Movie?

[vega480]

I have watched the movies for Death Note 1 and 2, both were really good. But who has read the manga version of Death Note? and is it better, or just more details to it?

[JerryKid]

Not sure on the manga, but I'm currently watching the anime series. So far the movies have done a really good job of portraying the series.

I've heard the manga is really good. Guess I'll have to pick up a book and report back to the board

If you get a chance check out the live action DeathNote. I caught a showing at Katsucon this past weekend. The storyline is pretty much the same ... runs up to about where Misa comes in ... and they tie if up differently than the anime or the manga (I think).

Yeah the live action was done really well, thats the only ones I have seen so far, need to get out and get a manga one of these days to.

Ewwww.... we are going manga shopping. Take me with you!

After getting the manga deals I got at Katsucon, I wish there was a Con every week ... 10 for $40 was just silly

Thats a sweet deal, I swung by a comic shop just to check prices and they were about $11 a piece, unless I missed a different price tag, they were going off the MSRP on the cover.

What titles did you get?

[Laz Long]

i did a bit of fishing for titles i'd either heard about earlier or things that looked interesting. i got the following ...

battle royale
slayers
comic party 1,2
escaflowne 1,2
.hack
flcl
ai yori aoisi 1,2

I've always liked the .hack story line.  Guess it would stem from my dislike of mmorpg.  Just to throw this out there where does everyone normally get their manga?  I usually go to atomic comics.

Bookmans has a small selection, not always a complete series. Great though if you are curious about a series but don't want to drop the money on it, can get the first one for cheap to at least check it out.

I only saw the first death note movie, it was great! the manga's are really good, i read the first one and it was pretty much on the money with the first episode.
