Death Note to become an anime

[Aoi Kurenai]

While sparse details are available, following up Friday's film series news, it's just been revealed that Tsugumi Ooba and Takeshi Obata's Death Note manga will be adapted to animation by Nippon Television Network in Japan. A video game is due there this winter and a tribute album will be released in June. No official timetable exists for the anime roll-out although a Fall 2006 (we're hearing October) release is likely.

Not exactly shocking since it was only a matter of when it would finally happen.
