List Of Death Note Episodes
Death Note is a 37-episode anime series based on the manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. Death Note aired in Japan on the Nippon Television (NTV) network every Tuesday, from October 3, 2006, to June 26, 2007. The plot of the series primarily revolves around college student Light Yagami, who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook titled Death Note. This book causes the death of anyone whose name is written in it and is passed on to Light by the God of Death (or Shinigami) Ryuk after he becomes bored within the Shinigami world.
A special three-hour "Director's Cut" compilation episode, titled "Death Note: Rewrite", aired a few months after the anime concluded. Although advertised to be the "complete conclusion", the popularity of the series inspired the release of a second original video animation (OVA) titled "Death Note: Rewrite 2" nearly a year later. The OVAs recap the first and second arcs of the anime respectively, with new scenes added to fill in any plot holes resulted from omitted footage.
In 2007, Viz Media licensed the series for a bilingual release in North America. Episodes of the series were officially available for download soon after they aired in Japan; according to VIZ, this was "significant because it the first time a well known Japanese anime property made legally available to domestic audiences for download to own while the title still on Japanese television." VIZ Media began releasing these episodes via Direct2Drive on May 10, 2007. In addition to this downloadable release of a subtitled version of the series, VIZ also acquired the rights for the DVD release of a dubbed version of the series.
On October 21, 2007, Death Note premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The first episode had a "TV-14-V" rating, while the second was given a TV-14-LV rating. Most episodes have a TV-14 rating, except for episodes 1–5, 12, 15 and 17, which were TV-14-DV, episode 21, which was TV-14-DLV, and episodes 23 and 25. Episode 37 was given a TV-MA rating. Death Note episodes were also added to Adult Swim's streaming video service, Adult Swim Video, on Fridays before airing on television. On November 9, 2008, Death Note began airing weekly, at 3:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, starting with episode 1, "Rebirth", on Adult Swim. In Canada, the series premiered on YTV's Bionix block on October 26, 2007. On October 2007, Hong Kong began airing the Cantonese version of Death Note at 12:00 am Saturday nights on TVB. On April 14, 2008, Death Note premiered in Australia, where it aired on ABC 2 on Mondays at 9:30 pm.
Five pieces of theme music were used for the series. The first opening theme, titled "The World", was performed by Nightmare. Nightmare also performed the first ending theme, "Alumina" (アルミナ, Arumina?), which reappears as the ending theme in the TV special "Death Note:R From Vision of God" and as an insert in episodes 12 and 19. The second opening theme (episode 20 onwards) was "What's Up, People?!" and the second ending theme was "Zetsubō Billy" (絶望ビリー, Zetsubō Birī?, "Desperate Billy"), which also appeared as an insert in the OVA "Director's Cut Complete Conclusion Rewrite: The Visualizing God". Both themes were performed by Maximum the Hormone. The final episode's ending theme was "Coda ~ Death Note" by series co-composer Yoshihisa Hirano. "Misa's Song", performed by Aya Hirano, was heard as an insert for episode 25. The English version of the song is performed by Misa's English voice actress, Shannon Chan-Kent.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Tear out the close vermiculate crease
Where death crawled angrily at bay.”

“In our Mechanics’ Fair, there must be not only bridges, ploughs, carpenter’s planes, and baking troughs, but also some few finer instruments,—rain-gauges, thermometers, and telescopes; and in society, besides farmers, sailors, and weavers, there must be a few persons of purer fire kept specially as gauges and meters of character; persons of a fine, detecting instinct, who note the smallest accumulations of wit and feeling in the bystander.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
