Viz Media has a special gift for everyone who wasn’t able to attend Comic Con this year in San Francisco - a free episode of Death Note. Members of Viz newsletters received an email today (July 26, 2008) offering an iTunes code for “Rebirth,” the first episode of Death Note. The episode is a 236.1 MB download, and the code is good until December 31, 2008.

Death Note is the story of Light Yagami, a high schooler who comes across a death god’s notebook. Inside are specific instructions, but there’s one fact - if someone’s name is written in that notebook, that person will die. Light decides that he is going to use it to rid the world of despicable criminals. However, power can corrupt, and the super detective L and the police force are after the mysterious Kira who is wiping out criminals.

Personally, I prefer the manga, but I’m not going to turn away a free episode. (I wish it had been an episode of Bleach though.) The free episode is also a great way for Viz to get newsletter subscribers to visit iTunes and consider buying anime there.
