Death Note on Play.com, as well as Ex Machina, Lupin the 3rd Tue, 12 Feb 2008

According to new listings on Play.com, there's a Death Note DVD set to hit the UK on the 28th of April. Given the cast listing includes the likes of Tatsuya Fujiwara and Asaka Seto, it's more likely that this is the first of two live action movies (created in 2006) rather than the more recent anime TV series. With that said, at such an early stage and without even a known distributor, it's hard to know exactly which iteration of the Death Note franchise we're looking at here.

Continuing on an obscure note, Play.com are also soliciting  (Appleseed 2) Ex Machina, Lupin the 3rd: Secret of Mamo and Megaman NT Warrior. As is the case with the above Death Note story, we're unsure as to who is distributing this anime, but release dates, even at this early stage, are better than nothing.
