The first half of the episode is a recap.

Ryuuzaki · 2007-04-10, 12:38

Where do you find the new episode online so early...?

Sorry if I might not be allowed to ask that... >.>

Dagger · 2007-04-10, 14:04

I haven't seen it yet; I was just following the comments in the 2chan thread.

jayj713 · 2007-04-10, 14:16

Wow I would be sad if the first half of the episode was recap

, is this confirmed?

Dagger · 2007-04-10, 14:18

Yes. (Again, according to the 2chan thread.)

Pretty impressive that they recapped 25 episodes in ~11 minutes, though.

mycen · 2007-04-10, 15:55

Guess they wanted to have a mini-tribute for L. At least it is better than the Gundam series.. they usually devote an entire episode for recaps..

Maes Hughes · 2007-04-10, 17:57

I expected them to do a recap episode, we did just lose the best character in DN. The preview hinted at it with stuff from the old episodes.

...I kinda wish I hadn't re-watched 2-17 over the last few days now.

/waits for Shiroth to give it a 10/10

Cyber_chaotic · 2007-04-10, 18:04

whoa.....

you guys scared me there for a minute....
i saw the ep26 thread up and i was like "wait a sec.....it's wednesday morning...isn't it aired tonight???..........WHAT DE?!?!"

1/2 the ep's a recap? good. that'll save me watching all the previous 25 for my own 'recapping'

^^

Shiroth · 2007-04-10, 19:09

Wow, more added scenes that weren't in the manga --- i wasen't expecting this. Yet again i have to thank Madhouse, thank you so much.

and they ended the episode perfect...

Once you see the new scenes, you'll know why i gave it a 10/10.

Omniscient · 2007-04-10, 19:37

I agree with you Shiroth that the new scenes were pretty good and that they ended the episode well, but overall, I just can't give them a 10/10 for an episode that was almost 2/3 recap. 7/10 for me.

#ASprek8# · 2007-04-10, 19:41

i need to see it !!!!! ... but i can't find the site where i download the episodes!!

Ouch... I haven't read the manga so I was really hoping L wasn't really dead yet... Sounds like not sudden reversal, too bad. And I thought L vs Light would be the main theme for many episodes to come...

Yeah, i watched the recap part, though i didn't care for it --- now Light on rooftop with Death note theme playing and lightning. I'd give a 10 anyday. It shows you that he is at that status of God, and he believes nothing stands in his way. Madhouse have added a wonderful scene.

zalem · 2007-04-10, 21:37

Alas, I don't know if I can give it a 10. It's mostly a recap and it introduces two characters that I happen to hate very much. But the new stuff is nice.

Shay · 2007-04-11, 04:44

I've heard from various sources that this is where the story really starts to decline. I am hoping this is just a matter of preference but for how good it has been up to now I do believe it will be hard to maintain such a high standard. Oh well, we will see...

Mueti · 2007-04-11, 12:13

Ah damn, I didn't expect a recap. :/
The non-recap part was great but due to it's little screentime (~1/3 I'd say) unfortunately now I still don't have any idea just how good the series will be without L around.

Tasdern · 2007-04-11, 12:34

Recap ep. Nothing special except the last few seconds.

What that supposed to the the 2 Towers near the end?

Setsuchan · 2007-04-11, 13:48

Gave it a 7/10

I don't like recaps

but the non-recap scenes were good.

Loki.Nya · 2007-04-11, 13:51

This anime really keeps me surprised in every episode... usually I have a good idea what will come.
To bad that there was a recap. And that L is thrown aside like that is also pretty sad.
