| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow and it gets better... granted i was a lil sketchy on the whole idea that the fake L's real name wasn't "L" and he still died after getting his "not name" written in the notebook. Regardless, second episode in and I'm captivated. Hoping it will continue to live up to all it's hype |
 |
| WAIIII~~~~~ L!!! ^w^ |
 |
| Awesome idea with the ability to have Death God eyes. Luv the suspense! |
| Obviously a nice anime... Liked the animation... and the VA's totally fit the characters.... It's surprising how the atmosphere the manga has, the anime manages to retain it and get it better with all that dark atmosphere it shows the whole long episode.... L's cool for sure hahaha An Ryuk will have fun for a long while hahaha Signs, Green |

| that was cool, finally an anime that makes me wanna see more sooner.. its like a police thriller movie mixed with sci fi.. now we will discover how they will manage to find each other.. the race has started! |
| WOAH!!! that trick with Lind L. Tailor was really good!!! L's really smart!! and the fake "worldwide broadcast but just a regional broadcast" was really smart too!!! it really narrowed L's hunting ground to just the kanto region instead of the whole of japan!! WOAH!!! looks like the start of something.. :D |
| yaoi ~ wheeee L sounds hot XD  |
| kira v. L lol he took the bait. and kira totally just got pwned. i like ryuuk's heart-shaped earing. |
| Wow, things got really interesting! The challenge between Kira and L really turns me on! This is the best anime ever! |
 |
| Story became really interesting. |
| So far so good, this series is living up to it's reputation. L seems like a great counter point to Light. |

| Very nice. The first episode couldn't really capture me but now we're getting somewhere. Couldn't help but grin when L tricked Light. On to the next ep! |
 |
| WOW !! L totally figured Kira out, Light should be pissed. Have to admit it, now I'm hooked *_*. I like insanely intelligent characters and this anime has not one, but two of those!! |
     |
| It's easy to notice how well this series' pacing is. This episode went by in a flash and I loved every second of it. The atmosphere is great, and it's a pretty smart show. L and Light are superb characters. |
| L = greatness. the way he did that was amazing.(on finding his location and the decoy) Light should be worried. <.<; |
     |
| It's only the second episode, but that's enough for me - I'm definetly watching this series until the end!! And I'm reading the manga, can't wait to watch the episodes for it! Amazing anime |
  |
| and so it begins...the chase is on!! |
     |
Ignes said: Very nice. The first episode couldn't really capture me but now we're getting somewhere. Couldn't help but grin when L tricked Light. On to the next ep! Same! this episode had me captivated, i can't wait to marathon the rest of the anime! =D |
 |
| this keeps getting better and better :D i guess the anime will be centered on the Yagami-L race to the kill =) |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Holy cow. The pace is making my head spin! I did not suspect anything close to that happening. I don't know how people actually come up with such a twisted story line! |
 |
| Did anyone else love that "I am Justice" part at the end? It just goes to show how gray the morality in this is. Both Light and L have good intentions (well, Light comes off as a bit of a crazy) and now I'm not quite sure who to root for. ...And now I'm off to watch the rest, as well as read the manga. |
| Tvtropes.org It's great! |
| Wow, incredible eipisode, I was sure I wouldn't get this excited about this series, that it was just hype, but so far it's really, really interesting. Can't watch more now cos I gotta go to work argh, I think I could marathon half this series if I had the time. |
 |
| Wow, I had this on hold for nearly a year, I'm glad I started watching this. This should be interesting to watch. |
| This anime is very interesting. I wonder who will win. |
| Starting to re-watch Death Note made me realize this again: This is the greatest anime ever made. |
mmm56311555 said: this guy could just move into other city,region or state and the police man couldnt find him. Would that blow his cover or would it! L would notice the change, and start to trace any moves of people. Awesome anime, by the way. The first episode made me want more. The second told me I'd be watching the entire series. |
| Good, good, very good! That really lives up to the hype. Let's see if it keeps up the niveau. |
| Kira vs. L. Woo. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I loved the suspense! I'm eager to see what L has up his sleeve. |

| I think this anime's gonna be brilliant >:D |
| So far... simply amazing. |
Bidaum said: If Light only decided he'd kill him off with a bullet he'd be completely safe. I hadn't even thought of that but you are right. He could have had him die via someone in the room and he would be pretty much in the clear. Anyway, just started this today and I'm hooked. I watched the live action movies before the series and loved them so I figured that the anime can only be better. |
| I don't think it's all that crazy for people to go crazy or whatever when they have THAT much power, even in a short amount of time. Plus, I've always figured a (unspecified) amount of time has occurred during that sequence. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Yeah, this episode definitely made me want to see more - L is already favorite character of mine and he made just a single move... Kira is so doomed... But I guess that's what you get for being such an arrogant bastard, think that you'll create a world where no one should stand against you... |
  |
| Wow, great episode, This is the only manga I have read, and it does improve the quality of the show imo, at least through my eyes. Although the voice of Light/Kira was different in my head, great, great episode |
| L... is a fkin genius. LOL This is probably the best second episode I've ever seen. =p |
 |
| woah, this L guy sure seems like a badass...very good episode |
 |
| wow,the first episode wasnt so good,but this episode,wow,it was great,surely the greatest 2nd episode i saw |
| Great episode! Let the battle begin between L and Kira! |
 |
| The heat is increasing, not to mention that L guy is damn smart. Plot is developing nicely. |
 |
| Haha, that was hilarious. I can't believe Light fell into so many traps already! Not to say that it was his fault but that was pretty impressive. |
