The Simpsons' 'Death Note' (Episode Sneak Peek) 

Sounds like dubs back in the early 2000s.

And yet Yeardly Smith gets paid WAY more than anime VAs.

She actually sounds like the girl that voiced Lucy from fairy tail when talks all soft like that.

@@furionmax7824 You mean Cherami Leigh? Yeah, I can sort of hear it.

@@gamechanger8908 I was just about to say the same thing Good times

hahahaha is the best Japanese Homer. 😂

Homer chinese, the meme is real

Oof

In anime it looks so good, yet stay true to character, especially for a wide bald guy who gets drunk daily.

Never mind Homer, I started cackling when Marge's voice came out of what looked like a typical anime mom.

Work culture in Japan is incredibly toxic. It’s actually one of the main reasons the birth rate is dying.

@@paperluigi6132 yeah there are more old people in Japan than babies because they get overworked to the point of suicide

Work themselves to death Sleep at their desk or in the train Karaoke bar with boss Get drunk Shorten your lifespan due to extreme stress. That's the way of the salary man!

@@RedAngryBadger Is it a fair tradeoff if you don't even have almost any time at all to enjoy time with your beautiful wife?

TBF being friends with your boss has its upsides.

I know it sounds weird, but I'm glad they went with Lisa finding the Death Note instead. Lisa, like Light, is very intelligent and wouldn't kill someone under normal circumstances. Having Lisa suddenly becoming a mass murderer for the "greater good" is surprisingly hilarious.

@@Rantandum To be fair, Bart only used the notebook once, to kill Sideshow Bob. The other deaths were simply because Marge was unknowingly using paper from the notebook to make a grocery list (all the creators of the food products die) or list people to invite to Bart's birthday party. Homer of course, was using it to write kill Flanders fanfiction. Lisa was introduced as a red herring to be L, but it actually turned out to be Ralph.

Considering that Death Note itself was heavily influenced by a Jump manga 20 years earlier called Wingman, in which the protagonist finds a notebook called "Dream Note" that can rewrite reality (he used the notebook to transform into the superhero Wingman) it's like multiple layers of parody at that point lol.

@@aohige I actually know that anime. I never connected that before but it's so freaking obvious!

That comic has a much better artstyle than this one.

Yes it looks like Boondocks

Avatar and Teen Titans too.

Lisa looks just like michiko from hachin and michiko

Perfect way to describe it !!

Avatar, Boondocks, Thundercats, Teen Titans. Why can't we have shows this good anymore?

Did they also got Ryuk's VA as well?

@@Tabbimura Hank Azaria

i thought it was the boondocks animator

@@Tabbimura no I think they got Krusty the clown’s VA do to this

@@steve6997 If true, that's funny as Krusty was Ryuk in thee Simpson's first death not parody 😅

Legitimately

Yes

@MetalRob It feels weird for me... I need time to process this.

Well Futurama did anime too. not new to Matt groining shows.

@@aboredguy6390 What a time to be alive huh?

I don't know if that's what I needed, but if we already have this, can I please get a couch gag? Thanks.

Maybe Allison will be L?

I suppose Misa is Milhouse?

The 'bloodthirsty vegetarian ' line was actually pretty good

With how sociopathic Lisa actually is in the original series it kinda makes sense

both have superiority complex and are annoying, i agree

A FULL SEASON HOW DO WE GET THIS!

Where to get it or watch

@@supermanails maybe make a petition?

Absolutely

Dude I wouldn't mind watching the *FULL SHOW* with this artstyle.

It will become a meme for sure.

For sure 😆

Or tattoos

They need to see if they can get Trigger or Mappa or maybe even David Productions to do an episode. Imagine a Simpsons episode in the style of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!

This was real, I thought this was just a fan animation, but it's real

Reminds me of that one episode of Treehouse of Horror years ago with Homer and Bart in 3D, or some of the differing animation styles done for couch gags!

@Jack and Bt Sandwich you must be fun at parties

Anime does nothing but copy, that's why it's so good. it isn't like members of The Party who call free movement of ideas "stolen property", but I can tell a few people who are exactly like that. People who steal bicycles because you know they ain't got no money or any property TO steal.

i cannot unsee the simpson version of this anime so is it kind of crazy, you are not alone i think.

I'm even surprised myself that they do fit in so naturally.

Yeah it does… xD

That's because they're skin isn't yellow like a school bus

What did you expect? They abstained from giving them the abstract and cartoony elements present on their original designs.

Yess

An official abridge! I love it 💯

Ghost Stories did it first.

Definitely and in a really good way! In particular, when Steve said 'Steve' I immediately remembered yugioh abridged

@@Shanethefilmmaker yeah but ghost stories is actually bad, but I can tell this won't be and that's kind of saying something

"And our kids will be horrible freaks! With pink skin, no overbites, and _five fingers on each hand!"_ (imagines exactly that) _"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!_

Good for rare occasions only.

@@kyon813 Ah, yes... Consanguineity in... Japan...

The Simpsons did it better than that stupid AI. (Look it up.)

I don’t know about you but this feels off to me

yeah, it's one of my favourite simpson comic stories. Hope this episode will be as good. Don't want this concept to end up like the futurama crossover.

I knew it, Lisa's deep down more evil than Bart!

@@louisduarte8763 well in the comic version she was actually more the "L" role

@@toongrowner1 I take it that means Bart will play 'L' in this one. And call himself 'B' or something.

Honestly. . . I Want to see L Barto

Oh, so it's Moe? I thought it was Krusty due to the hair color.

@@foldabotZ tbh Simpsons has a few VAs who do a couple. If it sounds like Moe, it's probably because that VA is doing this voice

@@foldabotZ Krusty was already a killer ghost god thing in Not It, so I’d doubt they’d do him twice

This IS Bart, why doesn't people see it? It's obvious by the hairstyle.

Honestly im glad hes just an original Shinigami.

I'm so sad this is only a short and not a full episode, but I know the animation studio is probably busy with other things

That's madhouse for u. Too bad they're not that active anymore

I recommend Overlord, really great dark fantasy series.

@@poorlydigitallydrawngigachad this wasn't animated by madhouse, it was made by another company that helped madhouse in the original anime

Ikr

Power Puff Girls got an anime and marvel has had anime several times in one of them Deadpool was voiced by DIO's voice actor

This is literally the first time they’ve done this

@@smtandearthboundsuck8400 and the new episodes and plots suck dick and are like family guy. They should have ended like 10 years ago. The Simpsons is turning into Family guy.

@@smtandearthboundsuck8400 Toy Gory: Am I a joke to you?

"Step outside of their comfort zone with the series" What Simpsons show have you been watching!?

Hahaha XD good joke

Yes, and too disturbing like the series DEATH NOTE (2006) that is being parodied and it's perfect 🖤

I think lisa looks great but homer and marge feel like fan art, if that makes sense.

@@josesosa3337 be Hilarious if they make bart L then make him black to call out the Netflix movie

@@insanitysymphony9175 turning Bart into a Boondocks character and drop a huge diss track on Netflix L 😂

@@kevincairo8917 just the whole concept of race swapping for race not for talent of the role

People on the comments r saying this is the death note animation team

I am surprised they made the anime style correct for modern anime. It was easy to forget I was watching the Simpson’s.

@@TheBigKaiju, I looked it up. I think they did hire an anime animation studio to make this, but I kinda doubt it was the same studio for death note. The artstyle is a little different But that's really interesting. Very interesting they went this extra mile just to get the visuals right and didn't just dress up the characters as the ones from death note

A qoute that has forever stuck with me from that comic is Ralph saying "A-B-C-D Blue Five Cow!"

I hope the next "Treehouse of Horror Presents...", if they make the single story episodes an annual thing a week before the traditional 3-segment THoH episode, adapts "Krustine", the Christine parody from the comics.

The comic also had and IT story with Krusty as Pennywise.

I remember seeing a family guy one with Peter writing himself in the book because he wanted people to know it’s his

yeah, I hope this does not become the same as wtih the futurama crossover. Where the comic version is better but people only know the show version. Like heck, your like the only comment here mentioning the comic.

“Best. Comment. Ever”

"Best best ever"

@@Lord_of_Proboscidea “Best. Reply. Ever.”

@@squee-g1658 "Best reply to Best reply ever"

"Best episode ever, so far"

Is that actually supposed to be Bart? Seems to me like it's just meant to be a standalone Ryuk parody.

@@TheAverageGuyTAG I read that as Bart with his trolling nature and the large forehead with spiky hair. I never watched the anime, I only used cultural osmosis.

@@Gabriel-doodle Steve Johnson in the clip is very reminiscent of Ryuk from the original Death Note manga/anime. I initially questioned if it was Bart as well because of the head shape, but the fact that the character's name isn't some pun involving Bart's own name and that the character (presumably) isn't voiced by Nancy Cartwright convinced me that Steve was his own character and not just anime Bart.

@@TheAverageGuyTAG I thought it was Krusty for a sec bc of the hair color.

I don't think its Bart because if you look on the fridge in the kitchen scene there's a graded test that seems like it says Bart Simpson on the name line.

@CipherRage0909 Yess and I probably passed.

@CipherRage0909 yess elfen lied or future diary id loved to see that one

when you basically have done every trope and cliche of the typical sitcom under the sun it doesn't hurt to break the status quo or irreversably change it

It would be better like this than season 20-30 something

PREACH

I'm pretty sure Bart, minus the name and voice, got turned into Ryuk-I'M SORRY, STEVE JOHNSON. Look at his design.

He's gotta play L

I'm not sure what role Bart is going to play but I predict Milhouse is going to be L.

If bart doesnt play L he is most likely to be a criminal that is gonna die L could be played by martin or nelson

@@asioflammeus4846 I think if anything, given his love for Lisa in the past, Milhouse might turn into the parody's Misa

I would like to see someone give Classic Simpsons clips the anime treatment.

Anything from Junji Ito would work.

@@J1P2K that would be so cool

There was that one Simpsons comic/manga someone made that was like that.

Seeing Lisa can go a bit crazy and can make for an interesting villain at times, it makes sense.

​@@hiddenflare6169 No.

It makes sense considering her character now than before

@@scottchaison1001 ... Do I look like a touch screen? You gotta say more then “No” if you want to make me agree with you?

Not really but spoilers: in they comic lisa looks like L but she really wasnt L, it was Ralph.

Bro the simpsons are gonna make an anime called the "Simp Piece"

@@AutistRapper that just sounds like a sanji series spin off

Ofc the animation would be amazing it's because madhouse animated it.

That’s MADHOUSE Studios for you

@@part3dio35 Maybe they'll do a jojo parody with YOU in it, DIO-sama

This. Also, Bartkira has way more potential than any Death Note parody that can be related to the Simpsons

Me at the tv watching the show "One Simp" when Homer says "the simpsons is real!!!!" : 😶

Zombie Simpsons?

@@dylansharp8471 slang term saying the simpsons ist fresh anymore and gone stale.

Does he karaoke with his employer, since it is the salary man's obligation.

@@Garethsmod i dunno, but he does have the mind of peter griffin

@@KissoneKinoma oh no, early season peter Griffin or late season Peter Griffin?

AAAAAAAHHH!!! (runs away)

yeah, its because the studio whos animating this section actually were the studio who worked on the original death note anime, which is pretty sweet

@@rubysvnhalo oh yeah I’ve even noticed that

@@rubysvnhalo nope the studio working in this one is DR Movie the studio that helped on stuff like background art and in-between for death note

Seeing the Simpsons in an anime version of themselves is even more satisfying. However, Bart and Maggie are not there for some reason. XD

@@emmanuelcarter3551 yeah bruh ! i wonder how they are gonna be look like

Wow Marge way to support your husband 😒
