introducing LIGHT YAGAMI....🤔 | Death Note Episode 1 & 2 Reaction 

i always get nervous uploading the first couple videos of a new show, because watching it is just a lot of learning, asking questions, etc. but i hope you’re all excited to see the rest of the reactions! (please no spoilers because i haven’t watched past episode 4) also i explained why i’m watching the dub instead of the sub in the video so please don’t leave any rude comments about it, it’s my personal decision and i’ll probably watch the sub in my own time anyway!

18:46 “he’s kinda cute” Immediately dies, lol

The show is basically two chess grandmasters playing a game of chess....

This is a show where the dub is well respected by everyone so there shouldn't be many problems with "wHy ArE yOu WaTcHiNg ThE dUb", so don't worry about that. I'm so excited for these reactions. As you said, death note is usually an anime that people start off with so there aren't as many reactions for this show as with others but it's top tier, so I hope you enjoy the series, thanks for the reactions 💞

My first anime It's gonna be awesome

You are in for a ride!!

Light and all of his sounds are iconic on tiktok lmfao.

light is in my top 3 anime protagonists he is so entertaining to watch you’ll see

Step 1: Pick up book. Step 2: Become God.

Watched this anime 13 times and I always find something new it is so intelligent

The music is from Catholic/Orthodox liturgy. “Kyrie Eleison” and “Christe Eleison” are Greek for Lord have mercy and Christ have mercy. Many other references to Christianity in general will be seen throughout this series. Enjoy!

7:30 he actually wrote the name of just that one guy but he was trying different ways of spelling it

Death Note is definitely a great story. Having a villain protagonist like Light is always gonna be so interesting to watch. The fact it didn't take Light that long to go all in and kill people with no remorse whatsoever.. speaks alot on his character. There's always been alot of debate on whether Light is a psychopath or a sociopath. But the fact he definitely has emotions, I'd say he's more of a sociopath.

Also fun fact:Manga writer Tsugumi Ohba actually sits and thinks the way L and Near do IRL and uses a penname to avoid being killed by a Death Note.

Personally I think the reason L and Light have that same first letter for their name is due to the fact they are very similar. Both of them want justice, both are very smart and they each want to kill the other. Their only difference really is their ideals of what justice actually is. As the series progresses you’ll slowly find them become even more similar

Absolute classic! Its recommended a lot with good reason, thanks for the video!

This show is so damn good, I must have watched it about 8 times. I know I am in the minority but #TeamKira. Light is such an interesting character, people sometimes see him simply as a murderer but he is a very complex character

19:29 Your reaction to the guy dying is hilarious 🤣

Yaay! I was waiting for you to start this! Really looking forward to next episodes

I binge watched this whole anime in 4 days in shit SD quality back in 2011. it was that good. enjoy.

The way I look at it is apples is the “forbidden fruit” that Adam and Eve ate, so kinda represents temptation and sinful actions, and death note is a series showing a lot of killing obviously, so light represents the temptation of killing people with the book when a person has the power to do that, and all the sins that come with it

Light yagami 🔥🔥🔥

Light yagami: Yes

Ur channel is gonna grow a lot! You pump out reactions and the vids are good quality/enjoyable!

The Manga`s original run was from 1998-2004.Nippon and Madhouse got the distribution and dubbing rights respectively one year later and the first live-action film and anime both came out in 2006.One-shots and light novel spin-offs are still being published to this day,the most recent being in 2010.

This is my favorite anime that ive watched so far so I’m excited for you ^^ as someone who knew all the spoilers before hand, it was still the most intense and entertaining anime I’ve ever watched. I hope you like it!! :D

just finished my death note fan film :) im so glad ppl r discovering the anime !

Now i see that L has a superiority complex too , hes the same as light , he think he is the justice.

it’s final you’re my new fav reactor❤️

I feel when people react to death note they don’t talk about the possibility of some of this people actually being innocentl

You surely gonna love L

no the dub is sooo good; i'm so happy you're watching it!

Well, RU-vid drops me here and now I'm hooked with your Death Note reactions, a long journey awaits...

Yessss can’t wait this was the first anime I watched !

Oh a new reactor the algorithm has blessed me with and with one of my favorite shows too.

Please raise the volume

Amazing I was just searching for some one who is currently reacting to this Good luck on your journey!

looking forward for more, it'll be so fun to watch

"Oh he's kinda cute" says alana to a person that is murdered few moments later

Just found your channel, and love your reactions. Death Note is easily one of my favorite shows, and I'll say you made a good choice picking the English dub. I'd honestly argue the English dub is better then the sub personally, everyone does such a fantastic job.

"The apple has to have some kind of symbolism."

Death note The story just keeps getting better and better with each episode.

Damn, this seems like a worthwhile reaction to watch if the sound editing wasn't so terrible. Not being able to hear the show makes it completely unwatchable unfortunately. It's clearly not a copyright issue, as other reactors such as Letts React has the sound levels PERFECTLY balanced and ran into no issues of that sort. Hopefully these get re-uploaded with at least TOLERABLE sound levels. It's crazy to think that as of me writing this, the channel has almost 125K subscribers. If the editor had known what they were doing it would have easily been a million, but so many people like me have to instantly turn off this video because it's impossible to watch and enjoy unless you download the video for yourself first, edit her volume way lower, turn the show's volume up way higher, and continuously do that. Anyway, like I said, hopefully this will get re-uploaded with a less ego-centric reaction. "My voice is so much more important than anything any character could possibly have to say." Those are the vibes that come off reactions like these.

Whenever anyone asks me about death note i always tell them that it's basically the story of a man losing his mind with power in less than 3 days

I just love how hypocrite ppl are. They don't like light killing literal criminals (some FBI agents as well) in the name of humanity but when that girl in the first ep was being molested by pimps , literally every youtuber said kill them. Believe me , you will understand how rotten the world is when it happens with you ✌️

just found your channel, loved this reaction, and looks like your doing a lot of my favourite recent anime, time to catch up on all your stuff

I know this is a very old video, but its crazy how many times i have watched death note and ive never made a good correlation to the "Apple" until you said that. Thats some good observation skills just by watching the first minute of it lol. I can spoil a little of it now because this is years old lol but to anyone who hasnt watched Death Note yet, dont read up until this.... SPOILERS Lights whole mission is to create a New World, a New Society pretty much a representation of him being a God, and the Apple reference of Adam and Eve is spot on, Adam and Eve were created to create a New World, ans Species. This is what makes this anime so elite it's great and it has hits and clues that some (Myself) don't recognize until later down the line.

you figured out the apple at the start, its a reference to adam and eve. 'apple of sin' the forbidden fruit he takes a bite and gets addicted to it. Similar how addicted to the notebook light gets

Im so glad you watch dub because the dub for death note is incredible

Welcome to one of the best animes ever !! Subscribed

You’re lucky to have found this anime, it’s a masterpiece. Btw I’m writing my own death note story about an American high school guy who uses the notebook to take revenge on people who mess around with his girlfriend

I think the best way to describe Death Note is, a story of an Icarus.

Light was not a regular highschool student. He was always an egomanic narcissist. The deathnote just allowed him to act out more of his superiority complex. Also, killing a bunch of criminals is not morally grey (excluding situations where he is defending his or someone else's life). He is just evil. If we wanted to make the death penalty more loose we could. As a society we have decided together what is appropriate. If they wanted to lower the burden of proof needed we could. We have decided collectively on what is best. Him deciding for everyone who deserves to die or not and what level of proof is needed is not morally grey at all.

I wish i could turn Misakos microphone a bit down. 😅

Its only the begining.. you are not ready..

Pause while you want to talk. U might miss major things.

The music in DN is so amazing and iconic.

My favorite part was when L antagonized Light! Great job Alana! A very dumb thing that bothered me - The gasoline fumes would escape from the hole over time, and not ignite the Death Note. I'm such a nerd

I like the english dubbed version of Death Note as well. people start saying stuff like: "omg you didn't understand Kira's character if you didn't watch the subbed version" 😂

oh my! You are finally doing it. I will be in this unforgettable journey with you😅 I love this manga.

DEATH NOTEEEE!!!

As a non-native english speaker, dub just sounds strange because we never watched anything animated in English as kids but It´s no big deal for me personally, I already know the Show anyway so seeing this in Dub with your Reactions for the first time will be fun too.

Death Note is an absolute masterpiece. I have seen the anime 4 times now and planning to watch it again soon. I started my anime journey with this anime, and now with having watched almost all top tier animes, Death Note still tops my list.

Don't worry if u watched this dub no one will be mad Death note is one of few animes that most people prefer the english dub compare to sub..... Pretty rare actually most people who react to this also watched it in dub

how much you wanna bet that she gets mistakenly gets the adam and eve reference, but not the jesus and judas reference.

Ah the moral dilemma of is it ok to kill off people who are heinous criminals or is it just murder and wrong (scary to think i know which side all us are on in the case of this show)

it is not an anime to start with as an intro to anime world but it is the best one...

Welcome to the death note universe.

Death Note is literally the best thing to watch ever created 🔥🔥

Yeah I can understand your problem watching in subtitles, no prob some people doesn't possess Mangekyo sharingan unlike me!👍 😂

My first and I think a lot of people's first anime Just wanna know whose side will you be in the series L or Light(they both are amazing characters but my favorite is Light) Most of the reactors favorite is L though

I mean what do you expect the show gonna be when the word "Death" is the name of the show

9:14 i should not talk... but wow your reasoning skills impressive xD

Every anime needs to be watch in it's original lenguage.

Don’t worry, death note is considered one of the few shows where the dubbed is genuinely liked better than the subbed

Death note is amazing in dub tbh

Lets gooo :) Edit: Deathnote is one of the few anime that have a good dubbed version so that's ok

If you write down "L" it becomes "el" "El" is the ancient Greek word for Light. This is why Greece is calling itself Ellas (Hellas) which means Land of Light. So L means light.. 2 sites of the same coin And probably nearly noone knows this

I started with the original Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell also Trinity Blood.

I feel like Light's first two murders weren't necessarily evil or bad because a crime was happening right in front of him and he just saved the victims. I guess it's a little similar to self defense? (That doesn't mean it wasn't wrong tho.) However, when he goes out of his way to kill criminals just because they're criminals and not for self defense or to save others, he becomes a criminal himself, at least that's what I think. Killing anyone is wrong in general but it can be justified in cases like his first two murders. But when he starts killing criminals who are already in prison, that's not justified, they're no harm to anyone anymore and us humans don't have the right to decide who gets to live and who deserves to die.

My first anime.. Brace yourself for an explosion.

AoT and Death Note are my favourites. They have the same series director. The dub for Death Note is very good.

Crime is a crime in my minde

since u like this kind of anime please watch bungou stray dogs they are not the same but it's good too. love ur reaction 💖

Lil reminder just enjoy it instead of blabbering every part of It

What website are you using to watch the series? Love the reaction by the way🔥👏🏾

In order to be the best of all time, you need to create a creation where everything is perfect. On the other hand, everything is a perfect creation, but it can never be called "all time." Perfection itself takes away the position of greatness. Death Note is the perfect anime. One of the best works about being human and about human desires. Most people would agree, even with the best anime. He dug up a very wide range of meanings and created perfect characters that matched the main idea, but the perfect characters, in turn, captured the perfection of the anime. But one question remains. What if you were given the right to decide human existence?The anime is very good in terms of design, I agree. I managed to keep the plot very interesting. It's interesting to see what happens after a class. It was known that he tried to clarify the character of each character, but at times he made a mistake in trying to distort the plot based on too much Rayto and L. It's like playing chess. He would give his camel and eat the family cart, throw his daughter-in-law in the corner and beat his son, and so on.Chess is one of the most interesting sports, and it is equally interesting to onlookers. Wright and L are highlighted as black and white chess players, and Ryuk and Misa are the other spectators. The series felt like chess fans watching the greatest chess battle of mankind on TV. In a word, those who strive for perfection to surprise the perfect. But perfection cracks.It is based on what the value of justice is in terms of meaning. You will be happy if the killer who cut off your hand today does not cut off your other hand tomorrow. But that killer cut off your hand. But you're happy. Being human is said to be self-prepared for the future, but in reality, people forget the past and enjoy only the present. Mankind is free from the guilt of yesterday and living happily today, but forgetting that another sinner will appear tomorrow.We live in a corrupt society and of course we need someone like Rayto. But what if Rayto was gone? We will return to yesterday's situation. Why did Rayto become Kira? Because people wanted Kira. People do not know that they are polluting society, and they blame those who pollute them. But if there is a society with a very different way of working from the world, then Kira of that world will consider our mistakes to be right ... The plot of the Death Note is great because it can evoke all these thoughts. Perfect? But even in the end, you can look for mistakes.Now let's put the meaning and image aside and think critically about the design. Let me explain why perfectionism has long been mentioned as a mistake. Why didn't Kira just kill someone to play a video game when she was bored of ordering hikikomori and fast food during the day based on internet information in a dark corner? I think the basis of good literature is to be round, not to give people a different angle to think. This work has lost its perfection because it did not respond to this very simple but truly stupid angle. The characters admit to being very good, but they come up with overly strict logics.Although the opposing characters make order, the unmistakable contradictions have raised such questions. But in terms of greatness, it's perfect. I kept wondering why the animation was so bad. Madhouse was a big studio in 2006. Why is it that such a perfect anime is made in such a cheap, rigid and intricate way? Especially as the end approached, the animation faded, and it felt like a panel where the characters just talked and moved closer and closer. But it's worth mentioning that the selection of songs was really good. The background melody and opening songs are praiseworthy.. It is clear that the author has done a great job in making this work interesting. Goth-style hot blondes, characters who have been prominent since childhood, and the concepts of the god of death are fascinating. Also, if he had worked harder on Watari and added L's backstory, Near and Melo would have been more cohesive. Fighting Wright with just a successor seemed like a cheap move. After all, justice is death in the face of philosophical traits. Whether Wright was killed or died naturally, that's justice.

i am… so excited for this

It's not a starter anime. It's just the best.

1:27 This isn't very obvious. There are many examples of dub being better. Death note is one. And you can always read the Japanese sub with the English dub.

Light does not have superiority complex he has a god complex.

New sub!!!

Would love to see you react to some other animes which are underrated.... like BANANAFISH (I'm sorry for recommending this one), bad and assassination classroom..

I hear that this is one of those where the dub is more popular actually

peak fiction

Why not just watch 1 ep of subs and 1 ep of dubs and see what u prefer. IMO replaying what you've missed isnt that bad.

Everyone agrees that DN is the anime starter.

1:43 you need to awaken your sharingan

What a good guy he saved a lot of peoples u should thanks him or...

He only kills people who do horrible things But the point is... There are innocent people in jail!!!
