Teru's "Sakujo" in the Japanese dub, was a lot better than the "delete" we got to hear.

But meh, Japanese-English-dub crap will probably never be perfect. =/

Still love Mikami most, he's a freakin pycho.

I loved Light and L.

*and on the whole Raito vs. Light thing, his name is Light, but you can't spell it that way in Japanese, you have to use the Japanese alphabet [katakana] which kinda sounds like the proper english. (it lacks a proper L sound, hence the use of the "sharp" R, and why there's an O sound after the T)
And that makes you end up with Ra-i-to.

Anyone think Mello's voice sounds horrible in the dub? I do..it's just not Mello! Near's voice is ok though.

They sound okay in the dub.
Just not as good as the Japanese.
I personally liked the Deleted.

My favorite characters in the entire series are all the Wammy kids - Near, Mello, Matt, L. Just their mannerisms like L's sweet-eating and Near's toys make me laugh.

My apologize. Forgot about spoiler tags.
(I've been away from these forums for too long. >_> )

It may be the way he's portrayed in the dub but...I really don't like Mello.
Although I think I've grown on Near since he's pretty similar to L.

You know what's weird? For some reason most fans of death note don't like Near...cause they think he's a rip off of L and he called L a loser. I like him, he's cute and cuddley. And the Japanese dub was WAY better than the English dub, it still is. I really wanna see how they are gonna pull off Light's crazy laugh.

Near only works in combination with Mello, in my opinion.

Alone, he's really just a rip-off/replacement for L.

He's not that much of a rip off...The creators meant for him and Mello to be like L!

^That's exactly the problem.

The fact that Near resembles L so much is exactly why many people consider him to be a cheap rip-off and pathetic try to make a similar character in order to keep the series just as interesting after L.
It would just have been a lame idea if they left Near alone.

Near isn't like L in most ways.
Sure they both have the clear thinking but their behavior is different.
Near plays with toys and always sits. He is also playing with his hair.

L would eat sweets and stand and everything else.

They're different people just they have some similarities.
