Awesome episode and I cant wait for the end.

Spoiler for Comment on watch:

After 5 years, still nobody knows about the watch's secret. A trick is left for each side.

You can't compare this to the manga; colours, music, exceptional animation and (very important) voice acting turn this episode into a masterpiece. I know the ending and I still can't wait for next week.

[Squawks]

Well, I think I will have to change my pants now. But yes, I was on the edge of my seat. One left, oh how I will miss this~

[TigerII]

I must also agree about the voice actor. It was the perfect tone and pitch for Light and he has performed brilliantly throughout the show.

[Shiroth]

Over the job & done perfectly --- Madhouse need to receive an award for this episode.

Since the start we've seen the crazy amount of colors and fast motion being used plenty of times. They work perfectly & Madhouse used that to there advantage for this episode, and i'm sure the last one as well.

How i LOVED Mikami's scene, i loved all of it.

Pretty much why i've been enjoying the anime more then the manga. I just look at both differently.

[Quajafrie]

This episode was a freakin' masterpiece. Oh God, what a watch!

Light is now my favorite character ever.

[poolfan]

what epic'ness !!!! seriously the best manga to anime translation EVER!!! my only complaints: that 39 secs seems a little too long and the preview revealed too much. They should just cut the preview completely.

P.S Mikami really outdid himself. Can anyone be anymore whacked than Mikami in this episode?!???

[poolfan]

Spoiler for episode 36 in 5 secs:

Deathnote epi 36 in 5 sec:

Light: "just as planned, just as planned, JUST AS PLANNED!!!!"
Mikami: "Elimination..elimination...ELIMINATION !!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHH!!!!"
Matsuda: " We're gonna die....we're gonna die...WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!"
Near: "Don't worry."

There's no one like Mikami.

We need animated gifs from this episode.

I loved how Light's VA sounded when he was trying to hold back his laughter. He (Light's VA) seriously deserves some kind of award for his performance.

Never thought I'd find myself wanting Light to win by the end of the series. No Light means no Death Note, no Death Note means no orgasmic anime, no orgasmic anime means much depression.

Spoiler for 37 (Preview):

They made it pretty damn obvious what the result of the cliffhanger will be by showing everyone alive in the preview.

Light leaning against the wall and telling everyone who he really is makes me believe the series is going to end near identical to how the 2nd movie did, excluding the huge twist the movie had for L fans to go crazy over.

[Red_Eclipse]

I think Light's VA (Miyano Mamoru- I LOVE THIS GUY for his Ouran High School Tamaki act, but this Light role was INGENIOUS...) DID get a nomination for best new male VA star or something for his role as Light. I don't think he won though.

I know some DN fans don't like to associate Mamo-chan's role in Ouran, but it just shows how damn talented he is... And it doesn't hurt that he's a cute little spaz with a fresh face. ^^

This is the FIRST anime in which I enjoyed the anime more than the manga... They cut out the long dragging parts and made writing COOL.

Mikami = YES.

[nightengale5385]

What an amazing episode!!! Light looks like he got this battle won but he was pretty careless with planning in this arc with Mello and Near. Did he plan everything flawlessly and where the hell did Ryuk go? Damn, only one episode left

[bkg9990]

man, that last episode left me hanging...

Light's so EVIL

[Anime5]

amazing simply amazing but yes light still has 1 last trick,the watch,i cant WAAAAIT

[ItachiGT]

Hahahahahahaha

If i would be Kira, i would have killed Mikami before that he caould enter and join them, hahahahaha!

Well this is just a story after all......

If i would posesses such a "thing", i am a better "Kira"!!!

Hahahahahaha.

[Pellissier]

Guys, just one week left and it's all over. Can I ask to keep all of your manga knowledge out of this thread ?

We're at a key point, and I had to delete a couple of serious hinting. Everything from the manga in such a delicate moment of the anime, as the ending of episode 36 represents, is at risk to become a huge spoiler for anime only watchers. Imagine how it would suck to discover the ending just a week before its natural outcome.

Please use the Report Button if you see something from the manga on this thread, even if spoiler tagged.

As for the episode, yes it was wonderful. I kind of expected something at the level of episode 25, and though that one remains the peak, this was still amazing.
I just can't believe how they've rendered Mikami, just spectacular. So as Light. And what an atmosphere, 21 minutes flying as they were 21 seconds.

It was peculiar, in a way, to see Teru writing down the names at about minute 15 of the episode, and as of minute 21, just 30 seconds were passed. Talk about building the tension

[ItachiGT]

ATM, this is the best!! Anime wby a big big margin.

And this episode is the masterwork!

Music, Animation, Design, Graphics, Voices, just everthing is in unison!

Perfect episode.

this is just hahahahaha as it would be real!

I know i am the better Kira, please please give me the chance to show it!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Xcomp]

Time to save up for any DVD boxsets now! Oh wait... It's not going to be as good when you re-watch it since you know what happens. But you can always support the company to continue such great Manga to Anime transitions

Well anyway, couldn't help but laugh at the part where...

Spoiler:

Light goes, "No... No... I mustn't laugh. Just another 40 seconds until everyone dies. 35 seconds... Just another 35 seconds and I can declare myself!"

Direction's been exceptional and so has the voice acting. You can really sense how the characters are feeling.

Spoiler:

The "frozen" 4 minutes of time, Mikami's eyes rolling round like the madman he is and then the sound of the door sliding open. Brilliant.

You know, they can just about make anything cool with Anime. Insect fighting, Go, yo yos etc

he cant fit everyones name down on the paper inside the watch.

oh god im so kiddy i have to resist the urge to read about how it ends >.<

[Carrie Asagiri]

For God's sake, this episode almost kill me with the tension and the cliffhanger, I was yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Just a whole week to see it!!! Jeez I'm gonna miss this series, life wont be the same without my beloved Light-kun!!!

[superzombie23]

That episode was just... HOLY ****!!!! AMAZING!!! Orgasmic 10/10. It had me saying "holy s***" irl. Thank God I didn't read the manga or it would have taken away from the experience. That scene where Mikami was writing the names in was like OMG O_O
