An [[Abridged Series]] [http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DEBCC868724EAA19 by kpts4tv, mac_sly56 and Arkonid] based upon [[Death Note]]. The 1st season consists of 14 episodes, including a parody music video. The 2nd season currently has 9 episodes. They also have had contests to encourage fan participation.

This series focuses on Light and how he is trying to get rid of any famous celebrities that he doesn't like, primarily teen idols. Like the original anime, he is also trying to become god of a new world. Light and L are pretty much the only smart ones in the series, but the side characters have quite a few memorable moments. Even the creators of the show have a power struggle throughout the series. Oh, and Matsuda is [[Land Down Under|Australian]].
