Take(shi) the Hands On Imperative to Viz Media - Death Note Trailer (un)blocked

Viz Media has uploaded a Takeshi Obata tribute trailer onto their YouTube channel. It's fun and quick to watch, but doesn't really add much to the pot of common knowledge regarding the event.

I wouldn't usually have mentioned it here, because everything shown has already been more than adequately covered by Orangepunch's report on Obata's public appearance in the US.

But Viz Media attempted to make it watchable only in the USA.

Which means that I had to take whole extra seconds over arranging matters, in order to review the thing here in Britain. Inconvenient, and not at all in the spirit of the internet.


For all that is Matt and holy, I now feel duty-bound to pass on to Death Note fans across the world the ways and means of accessing the trailer. Why? 

Because access to Death Note related things should be total and unlimited, according to my Code of Conduct.

In addition to which might be added:
  1. Always yield to the Hands On Imperative. (If you're locked out, then you should open the door to Death Note content.)
  2. All information should be free. (Even Takeshi Obata trailers which are meant solely for the Americans.)
  3. Promote decentralization. (As in apply evenly across the whole globe, not just the United States.)
  4. Judge by our presence, not silly things like worldly location. (Ok, none of us outside the US can buy the All You Need is Kill omnibus, which the trailer promotes at the end. But we still may wish to view the trailer. I did.)
  5. You can create beauty and art on a computer. (And I was amused by said trailer. It was worth the minute spent watching it.)
  6. Computers can change your life for the better. (If Viz Media had only made it accessible to the rest of the world, then I wouldn't have bothered blogging about it. Therefore non-US readers of Death Note News would have been none the wiser, nor would they now be breaking in to watch the trailer for the sheer principle of the thing. Viz Media's life would have been better!)

How to Unlock Location Blocked YouTube Vids

  • If you're from the USA, just click play and watch it.
    • Then contact Google and ask them why they would even insert an option into YouTube, which allows uploaders to lock people out of the world wide web. Reminisce about the time when number eight in their company philosophy was 'the need for information crosses all borders'.  Oh... it still is...
  • If you're from the rest of the world, open up Firefox.
    • If you haven't got Firefox, you can download it here.  Feel free to muse upon the implications of a browser committed to open source information, personal privacy and the Hacker Ethic.
    • If you have Chrome and are currently making frowny faces at the screen - chuntering about Chrome being fabulous and Firefox being clunky - then muse upon the implications of Google collecting all the information that they possibly can about you, then flogging it to the highest bidder. It might also be worth putting aside an hour and 22 mins to hear Julian Assange's address to the 19th International Symposium on Electronic Art.  Or get the key points regarding Google and the CIA here.
    • If you have Internet Explorer, a quick read over here might be informative. And welcome to the internet! You've patently not been here long, but I'm certain that you're going to love it!
  • Use Firefox to visit our lovely German friends over here.
    • If you're still holding out re other browsers, then just scroll to the bottom. Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari are all represented. 
  • Download their add-on (it's clean, I've been using it for years).
  • Restart your browser.  Click the video above and see what Viz Media wanted to keep from you.
  • Feel self-satisfied and smug. Then watch everything else that you have ever been locked out from accessing by Google.

There were other ways (YouTube's as porous as a pumice stone), but the above was the quickest and simplest method off the top of my head.  If it fails, give me a head's up and I'll find another way for you.

It's a bit irrelevant to what's shown in the post, but Tsugumi Ohba's one-shot has been located. It's called Skip! Yamada-kun and it's located here (untranslated): http://imgur.com/a/85r8R#0.

It was posted by the redditor 891st , their post to the link located here: http://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/2fb1jq/anyone_has_found_skip_yamadakun/

I thank 891st so much for posting this and I thank you so much for running this blog because now all the Death Note news can be found easily!

That's fabulous news! Thanks for the heads up. I'll make a note to blog about this. (Sorry about the delay in responding. I blinked. Two weeks passed.)

In fact, forget the whole 'making a note' thing. I've updated Death Note News with it already, with all due thanks to yourself.

Click my name for the link directly there. And thanks again!
