Death Note - Episode 1 - Rebirth

"What does he do that brings attention?" Buckle up sir😭😭

I like that you rewind when you don't understand something. I feel like its really common for reactors to just continue in confusion rather than double check. Although i'm sure its because a lot of the time shows cause confusion to be ironed out later, but there should be wiggle room with it. There's nothing wrong with inspecting what you have already been given under a magnifying glass

The Death Note dub is one of the better anime dubs, but the sub is still a much better way to watch it for your first time imo. Dubbed anime can really take you out of the show with how cringe and over the top it can be. Since you're new to anime, I'd stick with the sub

also heavily recommend watching the english dub

wait until the middle of the season to watch the intro, but definitely dont forget!! its super good

Sub is far better, always the original for me, unless the original is shit which is not in this case, also light is a psychopath student not normal

Definitely switch to dub, it’s so iconic and the only way to watch this show

oooo lets gooo !!! Might be worth it to switch to the Dub if not deff rewatch in Dub

yay can't wait to rewatch this with you!

I am for voting for sub, dub cant ever be better.

Its 2026 why are people recommending death note. Really overrated anime imo but maybe im just hating

Yesssss. I’m so hype for you to keep watching!

The opening mostly "reveal" coming characters, but I don’t necessarily remember it revealing actions or other plot points. Depends on if you want to have the characters revealed beforehand or not. And yes. Most anime have 20min long episodes

I personally prefer the SUB. The dub is one of the better dubs out there, but I still feel the sub is better., purely because of the "no filter-esque" voice acting. Although, if you first watched this in dub, I can imagine the sub just doesn’t hit you the same way. DBZ is like that for me (difficult to appreciate the sub as much as dub)

PEAKKKK. I personally think death note is a pretty safe yet intriguing anime in the sense that it works within it's set boundaries, but it does perform on the higher end of what it sets out to do if that makes sense

OMG I JUST GOT IT soo if you write the cause of death ,the death will happen in 40 sec but if you dont write cause of death the person will die in 6 mins and 40 sec so you have 6 mins and 40 sec to think of how he dies otherwise it just gonna be a heart attack

the intro spoils character introductions and if you're really good with picking up symbolism may spoil major events so if you'd like skip it but at the very most wait until midseason to watch the intro of each season. also since you bring up heroes vs protagonists did you know Eren Yeager was nominated for best protagonist AND best antagonist in 2022 for the anime awards lol. Don't worry, that 'i need to watch the next ep' feeling will be strong from this point.

AOT is the only anime I can think of that is constantly "spoiling" itself in the intros and outros

Can't wait!! Although this is one of the rare time where the Dub is superior

I started watching/supporting here because of your AoT journey (which was awesome btw) and I'll keep watching because I LOVE DEATH NOTE and I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

oh my gosh this is better than the england/france final. Im so excited. Also please please please switch to the dub. Its so good. The vast majority of ppl watch in english. You're gonna miss out on famous moments. PLEEEEEAAASEEE JAMAAAAAAAAAALLLLL

Shinigami is basically the equivalent of the Grim Reaper in Japanese culture! So it makes sense that Light was expecting it (as in it's not a creature created for this anime only, it's a well known myth irl)

Can't wait for the second episode. That's when things get really good

deffo recommend watching deathnote in dub! the english dialogue translates nuances and inner monologues incredibly well,, deathnote's considered one of the very few animes that can be considered better in dub than it is in sub. death note is extremely dialogue heavy too, so the dub allows you to fully absorb the information a little more naturally + be able to focus on the animation

OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS

the way i GASPED --- let's gooo!!!
