In this psychological crime drama, L races against a literal biological clock to stop a bio-terrorist group from unleasing a pandemic virus on humanity. Alessandro Juliani, the English-language voice of L in the anime version of Death Note, plays the character in this movie's English-dubbed version.Subscribers of the email newsletter for Viz Media's Shonen Jump magazine can order advance tickets starting on March 20.

Koby Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have 2 Questions.1.) This will be english dubbed right?2.) Will I have to watch the first 2 LA movies before I can watch this?Re-read original post. =PJust like the other two Death Note Live Action movies, they used the English Dub Anime Voice Actors to dub this one.So yes, there is English Dub, but unfortunately due to it originally being dubbed in Japanese the English Dub will be off-sync with the peoples mouths moving.

Koby Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Nope.. well not really. L: Change the World has nothing to do with the anime series. It's about the next case L tries to solve after Light was defeated. L only has 23 days left, as he wrote his own death in the Death Note for the max amount of time he could, before Light wrote it. So as long as you understand that much you should be fine watching only this one.But I would recommend watching the first 2 anyways.. there are some key differences from the anime.

The 3rd movie doesn't even have Death Notes in it.. lol.. well except for the flash backs to the first two movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Um, at the end of the anime when Light died.. it showed a glimpse of L standing over him. L was actually not dead. He wrote his name and for the max amount of time able before Light did. So he faked his death and watched as Mello and Near defeated Light as a team.Or maybe I'm wrong.. because I think there was more than a 24 day gap between L dying and Light being defeated..? But anyhow.. he was shown standing over Light.. so it might just be Light thinking about L.. I dunno...Meh.. Go watch the movies.. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
