I bought a double pack of the live Death Note films from JB's earlier in the week. Didn't notice until I got it home, but it had this sticker on the shrink wrap:

IRON CHEF
Uh, ok. I love Iron Chef (with dubbed lines like "Is he, yes he is - he's putting that sauce on the dish!") but I have to wonder who that's going to make a difference to in buying the DVDs. I don't know if there's a great overlap between fans of each show. As I suspect, Takeshi plays Light's father in the films - a vastly different role from that in Iron Chef.
Death Note (the anime) is such an entirely different kind of show (and one that obsesses fans) and I look forward to seeing what they do in Death Note (the films) and just deep the battle of wits gets between Light Yagami and "L" (who look like they could be twins on the DVD cover).
