Now the dust appears to have finally settled on the Death Note bonanza, I thought it would be useful to have a quick check through all that was on offer.
Death Note's 10th Anniversary was celebrated, with much hype, on March 3rd 2014. The fandom received the following goodies and event notifications:
There was quite a lot there, particularly for fans in Death Note's home country Japan. Yet I can't help concluding that there was a lot of fuss over really not very much at all.

Death Note's 10th Anniversary was celebrated, with much hype, on March 3rd 2014. The fandom received the following goodies and event notifications:
- Death Note Real Escape Game. This is what the much-vaunted website counted down towards. But it's only available in two Japanese cities.
- Online Mini-Story. Playing out over Facebook and on the website, this was just a promotional event for the above. It didn't affect the canon.
- Reissue of the Death Note Manga. 10th Anniversary editions of all seven volumes will be in the shops on March 18th 2014.
- Digital Death Note Manga. Two online (and downloadable) versions of the full story are available. One is in full colour from start to finish.
- Death Note Facebook page launched. This social networking portal is in Japanese. It keeps folk abreast of all new developments in the Death Note franchise.
- Smartphone App for Death Note fans. Play the Real Escape Game on the move.
- Death Note as a Musical Stageshow. Now Kira et all really will be all singing and dancing.
There was quite a lot there, particularly for fans in Death Note's home country Japan. Yet I can't help concluding that there was a lot of fuss over really not very much at all.
