Yey first post

WOW i wonder what will happen now. From the looks of the previews I think some other person might have gotten the death note.

I thought Light had lost his memory but i guess i was wrong

Episode 17 Screencaps and Summary

Spoiler:

Shiroth · 2007-02-06, 20:57

Rem at the start of the episode.. they know what i like.

Wow, the anime did such an awesome job at making the Yotsuba Corporation members look so damn evil. This is where the fact that the anime can go about using colors makes it a huge advantage at expressing something in the series. & yes.. more cute Misa-misa scenes. :3

Great episode - though the fact that you get excellent animation, then good animation.. its taken a while to get used to.

ThoHell · 2007-02-06, 22:55

AHAHHAHAHAHAH...WTF is with this episode? Man it was great! <3333333 Misa even more!

Spoiler for episode 17:

atividia · 2007-02-07, 10:41

So are they still following the manga? (just need a yes or no answer. No spoiling!)

Dagger · 2007-02-07, 12:08

Yes, they are.

Quajafrie · 2007-02-07, 12:51

After an amazing OMG episode, we have this disappointing-as-hell episode. I suppose this is where Death Note winds down?

smeg4brainsuk · 2007-02-07, 14:43

arg i need to learn japanese faster so i dont have to wait for subs :/

aohige · 2007-02-07, 14:44

I enjoyed the episode.
I wonder how they are going to do the voice for the mystery man.
You'd think the voice will give away his identity.

shakildwz · 2007-02-07, 17:15

The subs for this episode are out.

This episode was insane.

Sockslayer · 2007-02-07, 17:56

Amazing episode, the beginning was very intense, definetly put me on the edge of my seat. The ending I'm not sure if I like it.

HurricaneHige · 2007-02-07, 18:47

I was so hoping Misa would die or stay in prison, her childish antics make even the annoying Light look more than tolerable. And L and Light staying together 24 hours a day seems too excessive, if they want to check on Light they could use different peopel to be with him, put bugs and cameras all around him, etc. Anyway, I am enjoying the plot but why can't I like a single character?

Ascaloth · 2007-02-08, 10:06

I STILL cannot shake the image of Haruhi everytime Misa speaks...... >_<

Although having thought about it, I'm starting to think using Aya-chan as Misa's seiyuu is an underratedly inspired choice. I mean, think about it; she's like one of the few seiyuu who would be in a position to perfectly understand the character of Amane Misa. After all, they share such important similarities; both are basically just kids, both are starlets at the top of their game in the Japanese entertainment industry, and despite their young ages, both can be said to be veterans in the industry already. Therefore, if there ever is a seiyuu who would understand Misa, the experiences she might have gone through (excluding the part about her parents' murder, of course) in the entertainment industry, and how these experiences shaped her into the ditzy airhead she is today, it would be Aya-chan.

No offense intended to Aya-chan or her rabid fans, by the way. Please don't skewer me.

Of course, this begs a most interesting question; if they're so similar to each other, can it not be said that they're essentially two sides of the same coin? Or to put it this way; if Amane Misa is said to be brought to life by Aya-chan, can it not also be said that Misa is a corrupted reflection of Aya-chan herself?

In short, every time we see Misa on the screen, are we also looking unknowingly at the hidden dark side of Aya-chan? A Dark Aya-chan, if you will?

Omniscient Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2004	Episode 17 Screencaps and Summary Spoiler: I really liked this episode (gave it a 9/10) because although I knew what was coming, I thought they executed the whole set-up scene really well. A very intense scene with some of the best animation we've seen in a while.

ThoHell Senior Member Join Date: May 2006	AHAHHAHAHAHAH...WTF is with this episode? Man it was great! <3333333 Misa even more! Spoiler for episode 17: Man this episode was freakin awesome! Started out so insanely serious where it even got me shocked. Man that whole car scene was intense. Treatening to kill your own son like that..WOW! LOL, Misa personality and stuff has not changed, Light sure has towards her. He's more open and light hearted towards her and Misa is just full of spunk driving the detective team crazy. This is sure getting extremely complicated. em seems to be running the show now. I'm guessing some of this was part of Lights plan or maybe not, but I'm guessing it was. But man I was completely suprised and did not epect this at all. The episode was GREAT! Nice seriousness plus some good comic relief. Can't wait for next week!

HurricaneHige Uguu~ Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Canada	only 7/10 on this one tbh~ Spoiler for For future: If L and Light becomes comrades and catch the "big bad final bad guy" i'll be very disappointed....tbh the only reason i got into this story is becuz the mindtwisting battle between L and Light. I sure hope to hell it'll come back~ On a side note, now that Light has no idea he's Kira, i wonder wat he'll look like when he finds out again XD especially after saying all that crap to L haha __________________ Sig's coming soon ~_~ (since 07....)
