Death Note Episode 2 - Confrontation
Comments (20)
Please just stick to sub. I see the look of your face with the lack of immersion because of the thick American accent in the Dub. For this show specifically almost everything takes place in Japan So alot of things makes more sense to be in the original Japanese voice over. The voice acting is much better in Sub so please just stick to Sub when ur watching anime please.
Disagree
The saddest thing about Vinland Saga is that season 3 isn't even announced yet, it could literally take 10 years. MAPPA, the animation studio which is handling production of S3 (also did S2) is preoccupied with their more economically successful shows such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man which means that the release date of S3 is completely unknown. This is also the same animation studio as AOT s4, so you know how good they are, but the way they're treating Vinland Saga is really frustrating imo. Still hoping for a 2027-release date though, which is quite likely even though it's not confirmed to be in production yet. ALSO Vinland Saga S1 shares the same animation studio as AOT s1-3 so expect excellent animation all throughout. The only reason for MAPPA's takeover is that they're better at handling more large scale projects.
can’t wait for more!
Damn it’s been years since I’ve watched death note I’ve forgotten how good it is.. glad to be on this journey with you bro 🔥👍🏾
This came out in 2006, which is interesting that it seems the internet has always had this sinister side to it.
The internet tended to have darker aspects to it ages ago due to it being relatively unregulated. Obviously you’d still have to go looking for these corners of the internet, but they were much easier to find than they are today.
Death note gets so tropey but pulls it off really well and I'm looking forward to seeing you notice it like this episode, cause I'm sure you've seen plenty shows start with this energy but then fail when it writes the protagonist into their first corner. Also, for vinland saga, I thought you should know the first two episodes were released as a pair with an ad break between just like the midcut, even if you can't watch the two together you should just keep the energy in mind that it flowed more like a 4 part single episode than it did 2 standalones.
With the whole dub vs sub death note is widely regarded as having one of the best dubs of an anime, whilst the sub is also in my opinion equally great as someone who’s watched it in both. Everyone I know who has watched it loves the dub and I do think the dub helps at lot for a show like this as for some of the more info dumpy parts (like in episode 1 when you had to pause and go through the rules of the death note one by one) the dub really helps keep the flow of the show as similar scenes occur later on. really think it’s down to personal preference.
yes so glad you're trying Dub. funnily you started with the two shows where the mc is not the hero and there is debate about whether he is right or not (with there being a correct answer). But yeah your feelings for Light are pretty normal. and yes, Light is a genius. he is the top student in his school as well as Japan i believe
Its unfortunate that you switched to dub
completely disagree! this is a rare instance where the dub is easily on par with sub, if not better
In Japanese the letter (and the sound) "L" does not exist, so when they read foreign words out loud, they pronounce the letter "L" as "R". For example -- "online" would be pronounced as "onrine". Therefore "Killer" (killa) would be "Kira". Just a fun fact!
Vinland Saga technically isn't finished, but Season 2 feels like the thematic conclusion of everything it was building towards in the first two season. Season 3 starts with a new story thread. So in that sense you can watch it now and still get a sense that you "completed" it.
I think that 6 minutes and 40 seconds rule is only if you write their date of death to occur more then 6 minutes and 40 seconds in the future. Let's say you write a person will die tomorrow, and then you have 6 minutes and 40 seconds to write its details, like a person gets hit by a blue truck
Dub is good, but sub is also one of the most iconics especially death note, my recommendation is to always watch it in the original as the writers/ directors intented it (of course unless the original is trash or the subtitles are annoyingly delayed) Also it might be just me but when the dub and the subtitles of the dub are not aligned word for word it gets very annoying, but whatever you like.
But death notes dub is probably the most iconic dub in anime and especially lights dialogues are better imo
I absolutey love your reactions, I first saw your reactions ok Tik Tok and now I cant get enough of it❤️
I would recommend using crunchyroll for anime. The subtitles being delayed would kill me
The subtitles are specifically made for the Japanese language. The English dub, most of the time don't have a subtitle
