They handled the Tennis game perfectly, it helped thanks to the animation being on top form. The dark side of the game which had Light & L thinking about the outcome was also nicely done - the music helps there.

Great episode, Light will say my favorite quote in DN series



this clearly shows how confident and god-like he is

Wow, the anime really is progressing fast.

guiltygearxt, that's indeed is an excellent excerpt you posted. On the subject of this episode,

What can I say? An amazing episode. My favorite that I've seen so far. This is the first time that I've bothered to vote in a poll on this series, since previously I had felt that my knowledge of the manga ruined my ability to jduge the series by itself, but I just gave this one a 10. Also, very impressive work on the part of Toriyama's World getting this out so early.

The tennis scene. Really perfect. Great animation, and I love how they slow-mo'ed on a black BG L & Light as they considered the detective aspects of the match. The voice acting was also very superb, the only point at which it seemed odd was when Light asked L if there was any way to allay his suspicions near the end there. Anyway, the subtle interplay as the two of them played these mind games was completely superb.

Anyway, this is the episode which, at least in my opinion, vanquishes the myth that the series goes downhill following Naomi's death. And of course the next episode, "Crash", looks really exciting, from the scene at the end to the brief scenes you can see during the preview.

I realize I'm not in a position of authority, but all the same, I'd like to advise people that if they want to comment on what's coming up the anime (which, by the way, technically counts as a manga spoiler, since that is the source of the information, and that information has not yet been confirmed in the anime), the "Spoilers & Speculation" topic is really good for that.

I just love this series. The slowmo in the tennis game was awesome. L also has one of my fav DN quotes in this epi

"If I sit any other way my reasoning ability drops by 40%" I love that line.

Series is moving right along, I was alittle disappointed that when L and Ligh both get the phone calls they didnt add them saying "kira" to it but oh well, Im picky :D

Great epi though.

Wow, this episode was realy awsome. The tennis match was done perfectly (i would have never imagined L being that competent in sports :p ) and the talk in the cafe was good as well. I'll tell you one thing - i got shivers running down my spine after hearing that Light's father had a heart attack :)

First episode i rated with 10. Light is in a very interesting situation now... i can't wait to see how this plays out.

Can't wait to see what's going to be on the tapes, but I'm sure it'll be worthwhile :>
Third 10

hohoho well isnt light getting pinned down by L :p
another exellent ep and the tension given off by both is astonishing ~ feeling the death vibes everywhere :3

the preview seems shocking...how light plans for L to kick the bucket but the problem would be getting his name ~ unless he cheats does the eyes deal :heh:

Haha same here. I was a bit surprised when the tapes came in.. Was it really light that sent those ? I have my doubts...

Another amazing episode. As some already said, the tennis match was done perfectly, showing what L and Light were thinking at the moment. It was Light that made his father have a heart attack? I don't think he would go that far, but he already thinks of himself as god, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Yagami's heart attack has nothing to do with his son (Kira).

If Light gave his father a heart attack, then his father would be dead right now.

^Oh, that's right. I forgot that the person dies with the Death Note, I was thinking that Light may have written something like "Have a heart attack but does not die", but now that I think about it, that couldn't happen.

I don't quite get what the first rule meant during halftime. Can someone explain that rule?

Otherwise, another exciting but not quite exciting episode. I'm more hyped up for the next episode.

It means that you don't actually need the book to kill someone. You can rip a page out of the book and put it in your science file and it still works if you write a name on it.

Thats the second, Pakxenon asked about the first.

And as for your question Pakxenon: It means that the Death Gods don't know the limit that what the physically possible deaths are, so you have to find out.
