Death Note episode 26

Mostly a recap episode but it was interesting to see Light kill everyone that was involved with him except the core investigation group.

And there's quite a time skip by the end of the episode. But that teaser at the end makes me think there's other super-sleuths out there ready to avenge L.

Episode 27

So this Near kid is just a prepubescent L? So far, that sounds really lazy. To kill off a character only to transplant them into another role to keep the conflict going.

In fact, this entire first episode feels like a recycling of elements from early on, light being the only one active with the notebook, FBI agents snooping around, super sleuth deduces the possible candidates for Kira really quickly. But they have zoomed passed a lot of that stuff this time around to save on the redundancy.

And who's that douche that looks like Arwin from attack on titan? He's from this institute but I don't know what his motivations are to get the notebook from the police.

Best part of the episode though was Misa in lingerie lol.

Episode 28

Wow. That was some fucking intense mindgames. Watching Mello just leave Near and Light helpless was fucking awesome to see.



Episode 29

Light's dad just died........... damn.

It's all Light's fault for having to juggle 3 notebooks around. He should have gotten the buried notebook and kept it so all this shit wouldn't happen. But I'm glad he got rid of one of them so now we only have 2.



Episode 30

I like this kid Near, he's willing to let those close to him die and kill the people who want to help him.

But I like how Light is dragging Near out, with the crazy break in of the investigative organization that can destroy them.

Episode 31

I like Near now. He's like an extreme version of L, no friendships he's looking for that will lead to his downfall.

So I guess in order to avoid Near's accusations, Light had to send the notebook to this new guy. And I think he might be an extremified Kira. Although isn't there still one notebook floating around as the one Light carries under his suit to retain his memories?

Episode 32

Damn, and I thought Light Yagami was a fucking piece of shit before. This new guy is like an extreme Kira, at least Light had the sensibility of keeping people around for his purposes. Not only that, but he's cheating on his fucking wife now.



Episode 33

Girl fight! And I guess this is the end of X-Kira's story arc. Shame, I would have liked to seen more of him.

Episode 34

I can't believe how much information Near got on Light and he doesn't suspect a thing. I guess when you can't get close to your investigator you can't do stuff like that.



Episode 35

Light calls his reporter friend the goddess of the new world. She dies in a church with nothing but a cloth and being naked underneath. Subtley? The fuck is that?

It never felt like the blonde guy never really did anything. I'm gonna have to read the second half of the manga to see if he gets better treatment

Episode 36

That was a really really smart plan Light. The fact that you would take advantage of Near's plan is awesomely terrible. Mika-me must be on the highest high of his life right now.

Episode 37

DAMN. That was a fantastic ending. Finding out how Near did it was insane. And it's been a downhill slide for Light since the beginning. In the end, Ryuuk was the one that killed him.

Although Iwould have honestly preferred if thy were going to keep this story going after Light's death, Misame and Near should have been the ones to continue it.
