episode 1 aired last night.. and yeah it came out of nowhere.. i havent seen any commercials for it and it replaced bleachs time slot....  i didnt watch bleach on AS and i doubt ill watch death note either as i already have the series on a dvd...  i watched blood+ though and the boondocks is so funny.. i don't watch the anime on AS alot anymore.. just download it lol

idk though im just funny.. id rather get it off the net and watch subs rather than dubs.. in my exp. most dubs are horrible ( there are exceptions like YYH and Lain and Eva wasent that bad either ) but then you got dubs like love hina that make me want to puke and naruto ( i just don't like naruto himself ).. the first ep. of death note wasn't that bad as far a voice overs go.  hearing his name said as light instead of raito (engrish lol) is weird but not too bad..
and cable = a waste???  what??  better than sattelite.. sat. has lag, and when your dish fills up with snow like where i live its useless.. bad rain will mess with it too...
