Jboo

Light is Easily a top tier contender for best main character voice acting performance in a anime

dannilo

THANK GOD you two are watching this with japanese VA, jesus, i hate react to death note because the majority of reactors watch it in english. Sorry for who like it in eng, but i hate. I will react religiously for your reacts to this masterpiece <3. And just a curiosity, The protagonist, Raito/Light have the same VA of Douma, upper 2 in demons slayer. o/

Yvnngpd

English isn't actually that bad

CastSenpai

Highly recommend the dub!

Divine Simp

honestly it's pretty good, spanish dub as well, I guess they did it in the golden era, but original voices are just better.

Dandaman15

I can't wait to watch your reactions to this Anime!

Daniel Garcia

You guys should watch it in English!! This is one of those anime where the dub is 🔥🔥🔥

Michael

Dub for death note is legendary. FMAB dub and YYH dub are still the best two ever, with sub versions actually being vastly inferior in those two shonen for me

Kevin Abraham

I love this knew line up with bluelock deathnote and hunter hunter

Jess

the netflix live action is an insult to the anime

Samael Morningstar

The Netflix live action is complete trash no need to re watch it

Brandon Tyson

Feel like u guys should definitely watch this one in Dub. It'll be much easier to keep up with. your choice though of course

Victor Truffin

Yeah dub for this i recommend

swindlehadyn

This is one of very few animes that I would call BETTER in dub, but thats only imo; but y'all should obviously watch it the way you'll enjoy it most.

Oskar M

So excited to see you're watching Death Note! I watch all anime shows in sub but Death Note is the only exception. Feels strange to watch in sub haha

Griffith Augustine

Oh finally you two are gonna love this especially Ron, also please don’t watch the Netflix movie of this that movie hit pure hot garbahe 💀

KevUrb

Michelle, yall must have forgot about Eren 😂..

Tomas Barreda (Tomyhill)

It would be awesome a reaction to Avatar, I know that Ron would love it 😁

Shadi A.

Death note AND blue lock😭😭 les gooo although I highly recommend the English for both still a W tho

ivannbec

the live-action on Netflix is literal poop compare to this, don't rewatch the live action plz it will ruin your experience with this anime

Tre

Can we not watch this in English it just ruins certain moments

Andrew Gutierrez

This show had me on the edge of my seat the whole series. You’re brother saying it’s a game between the best chess players is the best analogy for this show !

Saith Uchiha

PLEASE don’t rewatch the live action it’s horrible and a disgrace to this master piece. It has horrible reviews honestly every anime live action sucks. 2 reasons Horrible budget and can’t recreate the story. Maybe with a great budget and a great producer could pull it off but never seen that.

ART XY

Live action it's really bad

Salahadine Abaine

Death note genre is Police thriller at heart in a supernatural context

Saith Uchiha

I feel like DN can be perceived as Grey blurred between bad or good. Idk about you guys but if I could press a button for every truly evil person to “disappear” I would. So would you not press it? But that also has a blurred mindset because some people might truly regret their crimes but another person might not consider a crime/act to be “bad” say people with substance abuse for example if they didn’t hurt anyone but themselves I consider that a victim but another person might feel like it’s evil. In my personal belief, if a human has done something that in my morale is irredeemably evil say people who have abused kids for one example. I ask would that make me a “bad person” to make sure that people like that are gone from the world? Just some thoughts no spoilers. As the saying goes “A necessary evil”.

Saith Uchiha

I REALLY hope they don’t waste their time to rewatch even a minute of it tbh lol

Nick Obeso

I agree with these people, and only this show that you should try to consider switching to dub. This show is excellent in English

Saith Uchiha

I wouldn’t mind the English version that’s how I first watched it and it was a amazing experience. I agree I think they might like this show in particular in English.

Saith Uchiha

Agreed I think they would enjoy it more in English this show especially.

Saith Uchiha

Divine I respectfully disagree I think we and Ron/Michelle would enjoy the English better. I’ve watched this show in both but have rewatched it 3-4x in English and it more enjoyable to me from my experience.

Saith Uchiha

I personally believe English is on par with the Japanese Version. I respect your opinion but I like the English version better because certain scenes are better in English imo But very interesting he’s a very Talented VA I would have never guessed.

ivannbec

man light's voice actor in dub is soo good but I understand why u guys picked sub, I'm excited

Saith Uchiha

I’ve commented on most post saying this but I think they’d enjoy the English version more… Run a Poll maybe?

Saith Uchiha

All the VA in Dub are amazing in my opinion feel like with all the comments they should run a poll

Overbyte

I had suggested they do a poll back in may and they seemed to like the idea but i guess they forgot or chose not to

kirk poss

This is way different than most of the animes you have watched so far

Jboo

Some people will say he’s not a villain tho and are on his side

Jboo

So he’s not rlly a solidified villain

Skorpan

My guy, almost everyone prefers the sub. We're just not vocal because it's the default and doesn't have to be argued for. Dub is always worse since it's not what the creators intended.

Eric Belanger

So hyped you guys started this show, you're in for a heck of a ride. And as already mentioned, it's one of the two shows I would consider the DUB over the SUB, other one obviously being Dragon Ball. Hope you give the dub a chance at some point. Enjoy the show!

ivannbec

i completely disagree, most people online and in person that I know or met prefer the dub you're probably the 2nd person I seen in my life that prefers the sub in this anime

Saith Uchiha

I agree with Ivan this might be the only anime I think is best Dub and the argument of the creators I’d just like to say they hire the VA and do the animation usually the Author of the Manga has no say in these things. He’s obviously fond of English I mean Death Note is literally spelled in English. I respect the animators and the VA of both as I’ve watched this show in both but for someone who doesn’t speak Japanese it is all just a translation. Japanese is a language, at least for people who speak English is not exactly word for word perfect. I believe This is the only anime that is better Dubbed. I respect your opinion I hope you can respect mine and all the other comments that prefer Dub over Sub for Death Note.

Jorginho

Death note is good but after watching it consider reacting to Monster an even better version of death note for me

Josh

Please reconsider watching the sub, the dub is one of if not the best. And it’s easier to keep up with. Do as you want but I see a majority of the comments are leaning towards dub which never really happens for anime.

Overbyte

Even when death notes poll was up 90% of the comments said dub but maybe they didnt see it?

britt m

You guys should totally do the Dub!! It'll be easier to understand and process too!

Prateek Sridhar

I always watch sub but this is the one and only anime I would recommend to watch in dub.

Maruey Coelho Paranhos

I see a lot of comments telling you to watch it in English, but please don't! Because not all of your patrons has English as a native language. I personally can understand you guys speaking, but watching a whole series is a different story :/ I hope you can continue in Japanese!

dzuudo

dude if im not wrong in the beginning the announcer was voiced by Zoro's VA, look from 7.20

Riley

you definitely have watched an anime where the bad guy is the main character. attack on titan lol

Joise Cepeda

hey guys, they’re about like 9 episodes in already, so I don’t see them switching to dub. (Mod)

Saith Uchiha

Oh well… maybe they’ll rewatch it in dub on their own one day. We appreciate the content either way. Makes me wonder how far they are into other shows?

vlone flex

Death note is goated a good show after this is code geass.

Tengen Uzui

The live action is god awful. Spit on it, bury it deep and forgett all about it. Enjoy the anime ride :)

kman

English dub please

Yumaaa

Well they have bulk watched a lot of shows as they have went on a 2 month trip to Europe.

Yumaaa

Not gonna happen they're already like 9 eps in.

Vitali Morgun

don't watch the Netflix adaptation again, coz only the thing that you are going to figure out – it's how bad Netflix in any kind of adaptation

kai

eww they should’ve watched Code Geass

RorotheShadow

The live action movie is nothing compared to the anime! Actually, the movie is total trash, especially if you know the anime and the manga! And I wouldn't recommend you to watch the movie again, because it's not close to the original story. You definitely have to be prepared to pay very close attention! Death Note is just as complex as AOT. That's why it's not so easy to say, "Yes, he's good and he's bad!". In Death Note, the different understandings of justice are presented very well and are basically the main theme of the entire story

Aiden352

Majority of viewers are not native Japanese speakers either. I never understood this argument.

Ukon Disd

So hype for Death Note reactions omfg

dmc 1219

What a great surprise 😁

Dajhaya Jones

Damn wanted y’all to watch dub😭

Johan Rico

Y’all need to watch it dub it’s way better 🤓

Bibi

omg sub is the best and I am so glad yall are reacting to my first anime in sub! IDK if anyone told yall but the voice actor for Light is the same as Douma from Demon Slayer and Atsumu from Haikyuu! He is my all time favorite voice actor 😊

Anthony G

the genre for this type of anime is Seinen, which basically means its for a more mature audience

andIJDC

Apples have a lot of biblical connotations, specifically as the "fruit of temptation" and there's a lot to analyze from just that, but you can also just take the apple at face value as just something Ryuk really likes lol.

Cold_Cyber

Please keep watching in sub 🙏

chextar

You guys should watch the High Valyrian dub

dmc 1219

Also Death Note and Hunter Hunter share the same music composers! Some of the best osts ever!

botanbutton

To answer your question, Death Note is a shounen manga, it was published in Weekly Shounen Jump! Also, shounen (young boys/teen boys), seinen (men), shoujo (young girls/teen girls), and jousei (women) are demographics, not genres or categories. Basically, it's who the manga/anime is being made for or sold to. The genre however for Death Note is just as Michelle said. Psychological, thriller, etc. Nah, the disrespect to Miyano Mamoru is crazy. Ain't no way. 💀 I respect ya'lls opinions and the work put in, but ain't no way anybody outdoing Mamoru.

Honey

I've noticed that you guys are very fixated on the idea of categorizing characters as "bad" or "good", which I totally understand because all of these are just shows but there are a lot of unique ones that doesn't simply separate the goods and bads. What I rlly like about these type of anime is that it shows how much we can relate to them; they feel more alive cuz if we take it into our perspectives, people around us are both good and bad, even us. Just like that one scene at the convenience store with Light, if you had the ability to "erase" all those who sexually assaults others, you'd think about it, right? Victims definitely don't deserve it but when you hear stuff in the news about a criminal given a lighter sentence, you'd think "that should've been a death sentence", then wouldn't that make you a bad person for wishing for someone's death? You've already watched AOT so it should be easier to understand to know how important it is to consider the characters' intentions and motives rather than knowing if they're good or bad.

defnotdai

Man I wish they were watching the dub

Orangeplum

The Netflix Deathnote was sooo bad. How could you fumble getting Willem Dafoe for Ryuk so hard lmaoo

Michelle Lam

This is such a great point and something we are excited to keep learning! Watching anime and our thought process evolving is honestly so fun and healthy

Dale Diaz

Do you guys just do straight up sub for every anime? AoT/MHA/Deathnote all have great english VO

Joise Cepeda

Pretty sure they said they were gonna do dub for FMAB but idk if they changed their mind about that (mod)

defnotdai

the sub is cool, I just like the dub more and I find it funnier. I just want them to hear light say he'll take a chip and eat it in the most dramatic way possible lol. Also, I just really like L and Ryuk's dub voice.

Kat

Im so happy you guys are watching this ❤️ also Japanese sub is amazing despite people saying otherwise lol some amazing Japanese VAs. This anime is a masterpiece

Kat

No fr this 100%!! Japanese is amazing, idc I’ve seen both but I prefer the original Japanese over English

Maruey Coelho Paranhos

Aiden, I can answer that for you. When people react or watch to a Japanese anime it'll have English subtitles, and for non-native English speakers it's easier to understand by reading than listening :) We have a hard time trying to understand what they're saying just by listening, but reading is more easier, it's the first thing we learn about another language. I hope you understand now. :)

ronald sanchez

I thought Michelle had already watched the anime? That was the reason why other shows was picked over DN?

Overbyte

No that was Naruto I believe. To my knowledge she’s seen Naruto and Full metal. For death note they both saw the Netflix live action years ago

Aiden352

You can still have subtitles if the audio is in English.

Uchiha With Some Gas

u watched aot, so u'vewatched anime where protagonist is antagonist

Josh

The poll on YouTube will always be sub, you are making a mistake watch in dub fr.

Gemma W

のん on

Keep watching with Sub!!!

LJ

RIIIP good dubs are very rare. I think y’all should stick with sub but definitely check out some dub clips specifically the “potato” clip ;)

Spanky5940

Dub better

Skyler Anderson

I'm not gonna lie. I'm a die hard sub fan and dislike most all dubs but Death Note is one of my only exceptions

Ron Jackson Jr

Come on Michelle just let Yagami be evil for once. hehe i like this anime

Hasuq

Light Yagami has the same voice actor as Atsumu (Haikyuu) and Douma (Demon slayer) and so many others

Jordan

I mean spoiler haha you don’t know that for first few episodes lol

Honey

Watching animes helped me with developing an open mindset honestly XD

Jordan

Brah that Netflix version purge it! He has nothing on our boy light

AJ Lab

BTW Shinigami are death reapers

Jordan

Also there is actually a Japanese live action series much better then stupid Netflix. Movie 90 mins that’s 4 episodes. Anime still the best version light is just so dam cool 😎

Dale Diaz

All of us speak English though which is why we're watching an English reaction channel

Dale Diaz

There are no "original voices" death note was recorded in multiple languages, it wasn't dubbed after the fact

Stefan

Respectfully, I think the sub is better than the dub. The entire show is set in Japan, consisting of a cast with mostly Japanese names, with Japanese cultural references. I really cringe on the dub absolutely butchering Japanese names and references. I also like the Japanese VA's more, but the dub VA's are pretty good too.

Nixon Nik

Maybe if english is your native language. I don't know any foreigner who prefer eng dub its cringe af respectfully

Desto Samuels

Glad you all are watching in sub. I tried to rewatch death note in dub a few years ago and it was tough to get through. Definitely not as good as I remember when I was a kid lol.

defnotdai

I don’t think good dubs are that rare tbh. I just think people have a bias or preference, and so they naturally lean towards what they’re more used to. Granted there are some really bad dubs out there too. But the whole “dub is always bad” narrative is dead.

Bsg Apollo

I wish you'd guys watch in dub, there's not a lot of good shows in dub and this is one of the rare few.

Scar

So hype

LJ

No one said “dub is always bad” just that it’s hard to find an anime where almost everyone agrees that the dub is good. But yea it’s mostly preference. Pretty much everyone who prefers Death Note sub over dub either watched it in sub first or are just weebs that cringe at English anime

mamimumemo

I'm glad you guys watched it in Japanese! The reason why Light wrote the r*pe guy name in the beginning multiple times because of the spelling. He wrote different spellings because he only knew that guy's name just by that guy telling to the girl. Just like in English, even if you know someone's name by how it sounds doesn't mean you know the spelling. It's even harder in Japanese because they use kanji (Chinese character). For example, the kanji for Megumi could be "恵", "恵美", or "愛実", these are pretty common one but then there are uncommon spelling like "芽実" , "恵実" and so on, and nowadays parents like to use kirakira names (flashy names) which is more uncommon, the kanji and the way of reading it are totally different. Just like Light in this show, his kanji is "月" (meaning: moon, how to read: Tsuki/Getsu) but as for his name it should be read as Raito (Light) which doesn't make sense in terms of how to read it but the meaning is make sense because moon has light or people often says moonlight. If death note exists in 2023 I'm pretty sure it would be hard for Light to use it because of all the kirakira names, nowadays there are people named Cocoa, Doremi, Harua, etc and there's no way he could guess their kanji even if he tries multiple times 😂 There was even a news about kirakira names, I remember parents naming their child as "Pooh" and the kanji was "黄熊" (yellow bear) lol. How did Light knows about Shinigami? Well it's just a common thing, if there's something like Death Note it would be some spiritual things going on. Light has been using it and saw the result of his act, so he was ready to anything spiritual would happen to him. Shinigami is a grim reaper, so it just makes sense to Light when it showed up. Death note and grim reaper just connected the dot for him.

mamimumemo

Oh I watched death note live action first, the movie one, idk about the Netflix one but I liked the movies, that's why I started reading the manga and watching the anime too. But idk, I feel like the movie was much clearer. Still love the anime tho!

Phoenix

It was mentioned in this episode, that Shinigami (death gods) can't be killed. So if Light wrote Ryuk's name in the Death Note, nothing would happen to Ryuk. If he wrote another Shinigami's name as well, nothing would happen to them. I believe this is because technically they're already dead in a way, or because they are a god and transcend life and death. As a Death God, they are given the ability to kill mortals tho.

Kevin Depoppe

the life action was actually very bad comparing to the anime/manga

Phoenix

Death Note is literally just such a binge-worthy anime, every episode you'll be like "I really want to watch the next one" esp by the time you get halfway thru, you'll be left at a cliffhanger almost every episode haha

Adil Bots

So excited for yall to watch this, it's a Must in the anime world. What's your schedule on this show?

Ron Jackson Jr

the soundtrack is hella scary sheesh

Shrek3IsOk

Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday! You can also check the pinned message, they have the schedule posted so you can see what the other schedules are like for other shows ❤️(Mod)

tatu somppi

one of my fav animes im hyped for you

Orangeplum

I've not seen many reactors watch the sub for FMAB. I think it's one of the best dubs tbh. If that show ever gets on their roster, that would be awesome : )

Russell Feathers

I was excited yall were watching the dub for a second...one of the best dubbed shows for sure...little disappointed you're not now... but whatever it'll still be fun to watch yalls reaction!

bluemilk

WOOOO I AM SO SO SO HAPPY YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING THIS :D one of my favorites that I grew up with. ALSO, yes, this is considered a psychological thriller anime :)

RPMizu

God, I'll be so happy if they react to Code Geass ❤️

RPMizu

Glad you are reacting to this in its original language. Please keep doing it every series ❤️

Hertog

its 2006 old

Hertog

The naming part is also to show off how smart Light is

Bailey Zito

Cant wait to watch this reaction until ep 25!

botanbutton

I think this is the crux of why I prefer subs. It's jarring to watch and hear what is supposed to be Japanese people speak English. It's creates this weird cultural/linguistic clash in my brain that I can't work through. Especially when Japanese cultural references, conventions, phrases and more are involved. Good examples are Yuu Yuu Hakusho & Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. For YYH, while most people prefer the dub (it's iconic honestly, I grew up with it, I own dvds even lol), I've found the sub to be much more interesting to watch. Yusuke really does feel and sound like a typical Japanese middle school boy, as he should, as opposed to an American badboy with a smart mouth. But on the other hand, FMAB is enjoyable in dub. The story, characters, etc., are arbitrarily European so it doesn't clash with the English. Furthermore, the voice acting is superb. Have I watched it in Japanese? Yes, and it's good but it clashed way too much for me.

Scar

This is one anime that the dub is much better than the sub

Stefan

It is subjective. YOU think the dub is much better than the sub, while I think the sub is much better than the dub.

Desto Samuels

I also think the sub is better than the dub. Shit just sounds corny too me in dub and I grew up on the dub. Guess I've grown out of the dub personally.

heavyweightyoe

First time watching this show will enjoy journey with you guys

Ed

It's good that you guys don't really remember the movie scrub it from your memories

Seyo

Yeah I wouldn't watch the live action. The movie doesn't do this show justice. Just watch the show and you'll be way happier.

Bertha Tillman

Love death note lol excited for you guys to meet L

Kanagi

You never watched a show where the Protagonist is a bad guy ? Time to check out Overlord

Heathclyff

My biggest fear with my forgetful ass is that I would write my name out of habit.

Bri

First time watching death note

Arbulon Rexhepi

The first 15 episodes of Death Note are fabulous then it becomes a total trash.

hockeyplaya1155

I prefer dub in all instances, but Ill watch sub because I enjoy these guys reaction. Sub sounds cool sometimes but its just nice hearing it in a language you understand. Plus it is near impossible to multi-task while watching a subbed anime. In english you can atleast imagine things if your not fully watching but subbed and while multi-tasking its just unintelligible noise. I find people give dubbed a really hard time but 95% of the time dubbed is great voice acting you can actually tell the nuance in the voices. Not the same for subbed you can really only tell tone of their voice if your a non Japanese speaker.
