I thought I'd show this to anyone who never seen it; pretty cool stuff, but I am pretty sure it is not officially translated. If anyone knows where I can read (NOT DOWNLOAD) the screens of an officially translated version, link it:

Interesting.

The ending of that little gem lends itself to sequels or spinoffs. I'd rather that not happen, since Death Note was perfect in its brevity, but if they want to do it again with a fresh idea and a clever killer, I'd be on board to see it.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. Assuming the story was translated accurately enough, the only issues I had with it was that Giovanni never made an appearance, nor did Misa.

I did like the ending though; it had just enough of a twist, and really emphasized Light Yagami's abilities, and by proxy, much of the story.

I think that this, and DN: Another Note did well. I think that as long as the stories are modest and don't interfere with the original story, I'd like to see more.

An idea I'd like to see is a story/s based on the case/s solved by Light Yagami and the Japanese Police refered to during the series.
