Death Note Episode 3 Reaction

On the idea of whether Light is good or bad, it may be worth doing what he is doing to lower crime that doesn't make it good. I would say the death penalty is a needed thing but that is not the same as good. To some degree as well it doesn't matter if the criminals he kills are guilty or not, the state doesn't actually know this either, yet the state will execute criminals on a conviction regardless of guilt, so if the state can do it why not light. What makes light wrong is not what he is doing, its that he isn't answerable to anyone, and because of this he tries to kill L who is not a criminal. To me this show is about the danger of unchecked power.

L is just as bad as kira he sacrifices people he considers bad as well

This is the big appeal of Death Note. It's the overthinking, the battle of wits, and the twists and turns that happen along the way. Everything is high stakes. It falls into the category of genius protagonist anime.

I will reply myself - I noticed that L&M said they prefer the original subtitled version of the show but they're being made uncomfortable by some vocal group. I suggest the ones recommending titles should say they are suggesting the dub version because otherwise it should be assumed that the show being suggested is in the original voices and subtitled. This will clear up any misunderstanding. The misunderstanding is what causes the issue. We should allow L&M to watch the version they prefer but if you are suggesting a dub version then you should say so that way it isn't misunderstood later.

Hey I really like the discussion between you two, as always. Regarding sub vs dub, I think it is a debate that will never end. There are reasons for both side, probably those who like dub watched it first in that format and so they've bonded with those dubbed voices - while the sub fans prefer the original show. I think that if you feel bad about choosing, then do a poll each time because it's entirely possible you can never win either way because these are two different type of fans that can never see eye to eye.

Hello girls, excellent reaction, I would like to suggest the possibility that perhaps, since his father is the chief of the police, Light can access the files and see who is guilty and who is not, thanks to the fact that his father works there he is certain of the guilt of criminals. And about the discussion of crime rates, why would you be afraid of Kira if you haven't done anything wrong? I suppose the only ones who would be afraid of him would be those who want to do "bad" things.

Is aot today?

ATV.EDIT

I dont know if the scene between the first part of the episode and the second is sub for you but that scene always show the death note rules sometimes really important to understand how it works... if you dont have it sub you should find a site that translate that too... ✌🏻

hey yeah code geas is good but maybe it's too similar, anime is so diverse, i wish they'd watch next something completely different like Fruits Basket <3 or HxH <3

I’ve been rewatching Code Geass and it’s still so amazing. I wish LM can react to it after Death Note, It would be the perfect order too! The 3 main characters and themes of DN, AOT and Code Geass are similar and often compared together, yet they’re masterpieces unique in their own way. Like aot, Code Geass is also fast paced, intense, tear jerking and cozy. Hope it gets to the next poll 🥺

Oh I see, I always wondered how this notebook never run out of pages! Well, since its a supernatural notebook, that makes sense.

Team Light. XD

Melkor

yeah.. I've always had the same feeling about both shows where you can see the similarities between Light and Walter and their progression

PM

that scene with light going through school while his preplanned criminals die in jail was similar to Walt waiting on the assassination of those 9 convicts in jail. also as yall said, he looks alot more happier now, also similar to walt. both felt like their original lives werent bad but had no purpose that drove them. Now they found the thing that gives them life.

Raise the volume, it sounds kinda low to me. I feel like you might miss the incredible soundtrack in the next episodes.

Its never brought up in the series, but the creators did confirm in the Death Note handbook that no matter how many names you write down, the Death Note will never run out of pages. What I assume they meant is that if you completely use up a page or tear one out of the notebook, a brand new page will just magically appear

No commentary underneath the video? I’m not used to that lol.

Morris

Yeah same. I'm trying to watch along with them for DN since I haven't actually seen it.

Camzeee

It's so different watching reactions to a show when I don't already know what's going to happen.
