If you're a fan of Japanese anime, you may want to clear your calendar next week. The live-action anime film "Death Note" is getting a special two-night debut on May 20 & May 21st in more than 300 theaters across the country.

Read more about it after the jump.

Based on the supernatural anime tv show and manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, it focuses on Light Yagami, a student who finds the Death Note. The Death Note is a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies and now Light has decided to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil.

Got all that?

Besides the picture, the audience will get to see a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie and interviewers with the castmembers. These special theatrical events are becoming a specialty of National CineMedia’s (NCM) Fathom and VIZ Pictures, giving fans a chance to see import productions in a format other than DVD and also bringing back cult favorites such as "First Blood" back to theaters. And believe me, anime is a completely different experience when you see it in a theater with top-notch sound.
