First off, check out my main site,
Malunis Database.
Purchase Merchandise
Although I am not authorized to actually sell merchandise, I will provide locations where you can buy things sold by others. - For DVD's, I'd recommend Discount Anime DVD for... Well, DVD's. It requires registration for purpose of giving you points when you buy things so you can use points to win prizes, but it's still worth it I'm sure. I've already ordered the volume 3 DVD here and plan to pre-order volume 4 as well.
- For other merchandise, I'd say Just Manga looks promising. It also sells DVD's, as well as the manga, and even collectables. I don't know what their requirement is if there is registration involved, but I'm sure it shouldn't be any problem.
Episode Viewing
- To watch the series online, go to Death Note TV for absolutely free viewing. All episodes in Japanese with subtitles, as well as every episode that has aired in English so far.
Episode Downloads
- One quick, free membership to Bleach Network will get you access to all 37 episodes. All of them range in 170 MB of size, and should not be much of a problem for people with an average Internet connection (above dialup.) Although most of the episodes are .avi videos and should play without trouble, some of the last few episodes are .mkv videos, which require a video player such as VLC Player. Most of these translation are good being done by the ever so talented Animanda, whereas some are only fairly decent, but still readable.
Other Downloads
- For anything else you may be looking for such as the movies and soundtracks, I would suggest using Torrents. They are like blank file directories that, with a Torrent program, allow you to download the files inside it. Download speed varies on how many people download without re-uploading the same thing, but you can find a lot of results on Mininova. A good Torrent program is also µTorrent.
Other Fansites
- DeathGod.org: A VERY informative website which has information on all Death Note-related things, as well as various downloads. Though I try to do my best here, I would recommend that website for anyone who wishes to learn things faster.
