Which one do you prefer for death note? I have watched the anime and really enjoyed it. Tbh anime has nice music and visuals which made me glued to this anime. Would you rather read the manga or watch the anime? How long would it take to finish the manga?

I found myself really enjoying Mogi’s time on screen and his relationship with Misa was very cute, but apparently nobody cares about him💔

Aizawa too, he was really smart to mark the papers that one time and he had a lot of cool moments and he’s always so overlooked🥲

Overall many of the Death Note characters are treated as if they don’t exist, I’ve seen people question who Kiyomi or Sayu are which baffles me, Aiber and Wedy were so awesome in the little screentime they had but nobody knows them?! I find this very strange given that most of these characters aren’t even “niche,” maybe they’re just boring?

right now the only characters people care about are L, Light, Misa, Naomi, Ryuk, and Rem, Matsuda, Mello, and Near if you’re pushing it.

JUST SAYING it may only be in the UK

He’s made entirely out of felt. He’s pretty small so it was hard to get the death note to even look like it had words on it… 😅

Anyways I hope you guys like it! I might make more at some point so tell me which characters you’d like to see next :)

I can't draw mello's gloves🥲

Everytime I listen to this song I can’t help but think of Death Note, the lyrics to me sounding like:

The first verse I see as ryuks perspective on light:
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Ryuk ‘giving’ light yagami the Death Note.

Watch him become a God
Watch people's heads a-roll
Ryuk seeing light killing people with the note and becoming Kira (a God, essentially)

A-roll
A-roll

The chorus kind of changes perspective in my head at least, as it can be read from the perspective of Light, or Near or even L.
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
For light it sounds like hes stringing everyone along and kind of manipulating them like puppets, they dance to his music. Ofcourse his entire killing spree can be beautifully worded as a ‘symphony of destruction’.

The next verse sounds a lot like light losing himself to the idea of being Kira and going crazy, as he does in the anime too:
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
As I stated, light acting like a robot can be seen in the way he religiously writes names. The act of killing people making him go crazy and ‘corroding’ his Brain. I dont really have an analogy for the other lines.

Explodes
Explodes
Oh, God

This chorus is still about light in my head.
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

The last verse is about Near VS Light.
The Earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Ofcourse Near is getting close to catching light and after the final stand (war) he wins. Near is ‘good’, so a peaceful man stands tall (wins).

A-tall
A-tall

The last chorus sounds like Nears planning and victory, the way he strings light along and destroying light in nears own symphony of destruction. I couldnt fit it in the post sadly. Its the same though as its a chorus obviously :)

This might not be a very interesting post but I Felt I had to share it somewhere, what better place than this sub?

Actually for me i dont know how to give ratings

But I got spoiled for L's death from this subreddit only so i was sad but not that much

Another tragic was Naomi

I MEAN WHEN SHE ASKS WHY LIGHT CHECKS HIS WATCH N HE SAYS IM KIRA!

THE LOOK ON HER FACE

IT IS MADE MORE PAINFUL WHEN LIGHT SAYS dont you wanna call my father? While she is going to kll herself🥲🥲🥲🥲

When Mello ran away from Wammy’s House, he was almost fifteen. From a practical standpoint, how did he manage to make a living, find somewhere to stay, and actually get involved in the criminal underworld? I know he’s a genius, but he’s also a kid. And didn’t Wammy’s House try to find him? How do you think he managed to pull all of this off in practice?

When I stumbled across the Death Note story some 17 years ago or so, I remember enjoying the fact that all major characters are using their intelligence in order to reach the outcome they want.

Nowadays, however, I don't think that Death Note is a story about people that can achieve great things (whether bad or good) thanks to their intelligence and other skills alone.

There are quite some plot points in the story that are either A) poor writing just to make us, readers/watchers, more excited, or B) to showcase the element of luck (or lack of it) within the battles of wits that are happening in the story. One example is Light accidentally meeting Naomi at the right time. Another one is Light ending up being the one who found a notebook (even Ryuk tells him that it's a pure coincidence/luck and has nothing to do with Light personally).

To sum it up: I used to see Death Note story as a representation of what can be achieved when intelligent and hard working people use their head while chasing their goals. Now I see it as a story about how random events and luck can affect peoples' lives (whether positively or negatively) and that some results will be reached thanks to the sheer coincidence - not ones all-time perfect ability to plan and predict.

Does anyone see it in a similar light (no pun intended)? Do you think the author intended to include the element of luck into the battle of wits, or do you treat it more like a plot hole?

Hello as the title states this is about the game Death Note Killer Within. I'm trying to see if anyone is still interested in playing this game. My friends and I have started it recently but I don't have enough people to keep playing and would really love to have more people play.
