For those not keeping up with the licensing of Death Note, it has been licensed by Viz Media, who also holds the manga under their Shonen Jump Advanced label. Adult Swim had a blacked out spot on their schedule for a time, and gave viewers tantalizing hints that it would be Death Note. Closely following the incredible success of Adult Swim's Fullmetal Alchemist programming, Death Note looks to be another smash hit for the network.
