DEATH NOTE NOTE

From Tokyograph.com:

"Actor Kenichi Matsuyama will be releasing a photobook next year - not as himself, but as the character L from the popular "Death Note" movies. The collection, photographed by Mika Ninagawa, will go on sale around the same time as the theatrical release of the "Death Note" spinoff, "L change the WorLd." The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on February 9. Ninagawa is said to be a fan of L, and it was she that proposed the idea. The theme of the photobook is to depict L's everyday self. Photos were taken between August and September, at locations such as Shibuya Center Gai and the Hanayashiki Amusement Park in Asakusa."

Gingerbread Houses, Death Note

Okay.

Here's a schedule:
DEATH NOTE 13 released February 19.
Checked out repeatedly.
DEATH NOTE poster raffled off at first meeting of Anime/Manga Club in February after that.
We will be discussing how to raffle it. All input welcome.
Also 2 gingerbread houses have been reserved for the Anime/Manga Club to decorate. Details to come.

And DANA is bringing the ANIME (James, take note!) for us to watch next week.

Also, Jen, where are you? Need to ask you a question. Call. Write.

Finally, pics. We need pics from Halloween. (I'm talking to you, Geisha)

DEATH NOTEs

Just ordered Death Note How to Read 13. Viz's pub date is February 19, 2008. And we put in an order for lots more manga & graphic novels, then realized a couple of things had been left off. So if anyone wants something added, now's the time.

Plan for next Manga/Anime Club meeting: Make plans for Halloween decorations, bookmarks, etc. More pinatas seem like a good idea.

Stayed up very late last night to watch Saiyuki Requiem. I liked it. The animation for the movie is much better than for the TV series. In fact, I liked it so much that I started started all over to listen to the seiyu commentaries. But. Not.

And in the too much information category: Wikipedia has a list of "notable voice actors" here:

COSPLAY AHEAD + DEATH NOTE 12

On Friday August 24 starting @ 6:30 pm, we'll be hosting a cosplay party here at the library. The Animanga Club of Westhampton is the host and we've invited Hampton Bays Manga Club join us. But we can also invite other local clubs, so some invitation design is in order at the next club meeting. And some party planning.

Meanwhile, thanks to Bruno for our Death Note fest this past Tuesday. Thirteen Death Note fans ate 2.57 pizzas during the Light / L face0ff.

And Death Note 12 will be hitting our bookshelves next week. If you haven't placed your hold, you should. We've ordered 2 copies....

That's it. For now.
