The "Death Note" Craze Continues

US and Japan are hooked on "Death Note" and simply can't get enough of it. From the manga to the anime to the live action, "Death Note" screams nothing but success in both extremes of the world. Though this comes as no surprise. Everyone wants to know what will happen to the being with the power to control death through a seemingly ordinary notebook. The manga is showing up on the best-selling books and the live action movie is selling out like crazy.

The second live action movie, "Death Note: The Last Name" was just released on DVD in Japan this week and I'm sure everyone wants to get their hands on it. To commemorate this latest release, life-size figures of the shinigami, Ryuk, have been displayed in various locations in Japan. The streets of Japan are also plastered with ads for the spin-off movie, "L." The interest in this series is nowhere close to being exhausted.
