Death Price is based on the favorite manga (Japanese Comical) and loosely based on the anime series of the same name. I’ve never read the funny but I saw the anime series on imported dvd, and I have to say the Live-action version, Death Notice and Death Ticket the Last Name does the franchise justice. This series is one of the best I’ve seen from Japan in a while. I will review both films because one movie while phenomenal and definitely can stand on its possess, the myth is very noteworthy linked together.

Plot synopsis loosely derived from the DVD cover:
In “Death Sign”, Tatsuya Fujiwara plays the role of Light Yagami, a genius law student who picks up the “Death Designate” and uses it to “cleanse” the world of outrageous. Upholding justice obsesses him and he envisions himself as a god in the crime-less utopia he plans to compose. As criminals continue to die in unexplainable ways, people begin saying that it must be the work of a “messiah”, of whom they call Kira. L, played by Kenichi Matsuyama, works for the International Criminal Police Organisation (ICPO) and is deployed to solve the Kira mystery.
In “Death Heed 2: The Last Name”, the chronicle continues as Light devises a belief to be piece of the Kira Task Force headed by L. While the two geniuses are busy dealing with each other, a second Death Tag drops into Earth. Rem, a Shinigami (Death God), brings the second notebook and Misa Amane (Erika Toda), a pop star and Kira worshipper, comes into possession of it. Becoming a Kira herself, she accepts the offer to have the ‘Eyes of the Death’ which will enable her to know the name of any person without being told.

As Misa and Light work together to catch rid of L, a unique character, Kiyomi Takada (Nana Katase), comes into the portray as the third Kira. With the disclosure of the current rules of the Death Heed, the mystery becomes more complex, with a satisfying storyline and a completely unpredictable finale.
That’s unprejudiced scratching the surface, as Light continues to experiment with the capabilities of the book, as well as to internalize all the rules to call upon some serious manipulation of the rules to work to his advantage. Power corrupts absolutely–What would a human being do with the power of life and death?
Man has no correct to play GOD.
This film reflects why atrocious human beings should not enjoy such power, men are fallible, vulnerable to desires and vanity. You witness an almost moral telling of one person’s corruption and descent into madness, and how a genius can seem dumb. It also tries to contemplate on the different views of a society and how a minute “nudge” in the rotten (or moral) direction by a government or individual can affect how things are seen by its people. The negate of capital punishment is also explored in both films. Some may say that the film also contains a social commentary.
The battle of wits between L and Light Yagami is definitely one to watch; as the two geniuses struggle to end one step ahead of the other. It is rather entertaining that such a complex match-up of intelligence also proves that the two are actually two sides of the same coin but on opposing sides. L is beautiful noteworthy a charming if eccentric presence as the sugar-loving detective. I didn’t know that sugar does provide energy for the brain until I observed him gulp down famous amounts of candy and dessert. The thing that proves Light Yagami quite uncertain is the fact that he believes that he is doing the upright thing and whatever steps he has taken may seem cruel, it is justified. When one believes his cause his honest, one becomes more distinct than the favorite opponent.
Death Ticket is intellectual storytelling, the situation twists and thrills are non-stop, each scene has a relevance to the next. The thrills/suspense are more CEREBRAL than visual with a very solid structure. The direction by Shusuke Kaneko effectively promotes intense energy and never lets up on the suspense, further accentuated by its twists and turns. Upon watching these two films, withhold in mind that this is Fantasy-horror, the “Death Gods” have that manga/anime explore, they may have that cartoonish examine, but they leer almost exactly like in the humorous. Story-wise, it is gorgeous intense, it is genre-busting, battle of wits thriller that involves the supernatural world. (Although some anime films do surpass other films in terms of status) I will close here, since with this film, the less you know, the better it would be.
Death Heed 1 & 2 really caught my attention. This is luminous storytelling and for the most piece, kept me on the edge of my seat. It made a generous transition from humorous to film. The two dvds are very powerful worth every penny!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! [4 ½ Stars]
These two films have been selected at the 2007 Modern York film festival.
“Death Mark” was a remarkable better flick than I was expecting. It was a mountainous hit in Japan, and because I had never read the fresh manga, I had avoided it thinking I wouldn’t fetch the entire chronicle. My loss, as it turns out.
The cat-and-mouse detective game mixed with the fantasy elements of the gods of death and their magical books makes for an gripping tale. The two main characters, “L” and Light, are an intense duo, and like the best of this genre of film it is hard to resolve who to root for. Light (Tatsuya Fujiwara, “Battle Royale”), known by the general public as the hero/murderer “Killer”, is the holder of the Death Imprint, and has the power to slay anyone on Earth objective by writing their name. A hardcore and lustrous student of criminal justice, he uses his power to erase the vermin of the world, serial killers, child rapists and gangsters. For the most portion, his actions are praised, but he is collected a murderer in the eyes of the law, and needs to be brought down. On his side is the Ryuuk, a Japanese god of death who gave Light the Death Label in order to sustain himself entertained. Hunting him down in “L” (Ken’ichi Matsuyama, “Linda,Linda, Linda”), a young, oddball genius with a penchant for sweets who keeps his name hidden in order to protect himself from the powers of the Death Designate. L hunts Light, and Light hunts L, and it is never determined who is the person a step ahead, and who is the skim falling into the web.
Director Shusuke Kaneko, who reduce his teeth on Godzilla, Gamera and Ultraman flicks, managed to hold the yarn terminate enough to the manga to please the fans while making it complete enough that newcomers don’t feel that they are only getting a piece of the characterize. The CG spicy Ryuuk stands out at first, but soon becomes a natural piece of the storyline, and Kaneko’s familiarity with the special effects learned from the monster films did him qualified service. All of the actors do a stout job, particularly Fujiwara and Matsuyama as L and Light, who carry the movie on the strength of their performances.
“Death Sign” was a gargantuan enough film that it had me running to assume up the sequel, which actually makes a single film “Destroy Bill”-style, as well as checking out the manga and the spin-off flick “L:Change the World”. All of them are high quality, and all of them are recommended.
