Drama with Aizawa... New members of the investigation team, which

Well, last two episodes weren't as dark as the previous ones but I don't mind. They were easier to watch.

Hm... not a bad episode. I think my favorite part was the fight between Light and L. The very end was awkward. Uhhh.

Damn, everyone here is focused on the (fairly boring) L vs Light fight or how Light isn't as fun now that he's not a twisted genius, but it was the drama surrounding Aizawa that made this episode for me. I got some heavy feels with that.

I actually kind of like L more over the last two episodes somehow. He seems more... human than he did previously.

Guess Aizawa feels like a failure now, L did broke him.

I suppose L thinks not even catching the Yotsuba employee will end this case, since he is theorizing Kira can control people.

Anyway, the third Kira is careless, these two criminals will get him in no time. Unless he do the eyes trade....

The animation quality dropped. But the Light vs. L fight made up for it.

How can you NOT like L? Honestly, he's just one of those characters, and I believe that those who disagree are just being stubborn or dare to be different (usually I'm that way, but not this time).

Anyway, this episode went by fast for me, and it was so nice to see a touch of comedy for once. Seems like a set-up for something bigger, and I don't think the next episode will deliver, maybe the one after that...

Exactly, I also can't see why anyone would dislike or even hate L. I really like him.
I too like the diversity of this anime. Right now it's a lot different from how it was a few episodes ago, but I'm enjoying it so much. And I agree with your opinion, I sense something fascinating on the way.

Loved the fight between L and Light so much :D I was laughing so hard (I'm a bad person haha). I guess we were all waiting for that fight xP It was great.
Can't wait to see Ryuk again. Shinigami are so awesome.

What we learnt from L: Wanna eat sweets but still keep fit? Use your brain more!

The scene where Matsuda can hear what he was talked about by L & Light under the stare of his colleagues was hilarious.

After the 16th episode, I feel like the pace dropped tremendously and the show doesn't have it's previous charm in it. I hope it recovers quickly, I was enjoying the first 15 episodes much more than I expected it to be.

Wow. Okay, so I learned two very valuable things this episode:

1. L is way more flexible than I thought.
2. He can also tie cherry stalks with his tongue.

I've officially decided that innocent Light is way creepier than psycho murderer Light. It's unnerving seeing him be a compassionate person lmao
Typical that the Police would bow down to Kira, they were less than enthusiastic bout chasing him down in the first place so it's not surprising.

Afro dude left in the end, and it looks like Matsuda might actually do something!!?

I think they will discover soon that Kira can kill through accident.

L just don't wanna admit that he's wrong all this time. Can't blame him, he's right all this time.

The new organization learning how death note works. Last episode they don't know who's Kira in their organization, and now they discuss as if they already know. (PLOT HOLE)

Aizawa left the team.

I'm feeling Matsuda gonna die next episode.

He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

generally this episode is kinda of a break to build in the story for the next arc episodes of the investigation of yatsuba group, so it's kinda not big episodes of events just cover up the aizawa leaving thing starting in the first minutes ending by the end f the episode, the real failure of the of the episode is the adaption of the manga, and it's related to what this guy said:

I mean, in the manga they kinda screamed: kira can kill with other deaths and not just heart attack and make it a big fuse about it because the most notice of light in yatsuba froup is that people killed in another way of deaths and in the anime is just flowing, and also the whole thing kira is frightening the government is much more explained in the manga, really too bad that was up to the anime shortening the manga just like that...

Yeah, I'm surprised that none of them realize that Kira can kill through other means than the usual heart attack, after they've seen that Yotsuba's rival is killed by an accident.

that is the thing, that they realized it, the problem is that they didn't say it loudly and importantly issue like in the manga...

It does seem like an entirely different show now, as if the script switched writer's hands. I get the feeling a bit as if this great new world utopia through murderous cleansing alerted some people to the idea of eugenics and so it might have been decided to make it more appropriate by taking it in a new direction. Evil business does seem more cliche and "safe" as an idea compared to a new pure world with a singular leader, but then again that was half of the originality that made this show so promising, to think about this new derivative world, free of crime and what it would look like, I don't think we'll ever find out now with the way things are going.

Pretty flat episode as a whole, and lacked the adrenaline rush, intensity nor interest that other episodes had but to be fair, the anime went exactly for that since this was more of a detour with Light forgetting all about the Death Note and having a really normal personality compared to the maniacal face he's been used to wearing while working with the Death Note. More of a transition episode with introducing new members to the team while losing a member in the process for the sake of being with their family, while Kira technically now is targeting politicians and other organizations and businessmen for the sake of monetary profits. I will give it to the show, for showcasing multiple reasons for why people would want to own a Death Note, whether it is to cleanse the criminals and build a new world without them and rule like a god, or to dominate in global markets and profit from the losses of other companies, and much, much more.

I feel bad for Aizawa. While they were risking their lives, Ryuzaki still had doubts...
Light vs. L....I thought L was a bit flimsy and weak but damn he kicks hard XD. 2 new members on the team now. SO basically now the antagonist of the show is the Yotsuba group? Light has lost his memories and has teamed up with L.

Aizawa is a good man T_T,
I think L provoked him to leave knowing he would be offended so that he wouldn’t take him further away from his family now that it’s even more time committed.

This is so interesting. I love how they've completely flipped the dynamic and now Light and L are working together. Reminds me of when Kaneki lost his memory so he worked for the CCG.

I can't wait to see what Light's full plan was for this. I'd imagine it'll be something like he left a note somewhere to go to the location where the death note is and pick it up again in which he'll regain his memories.

Honestly, though I love seeing L and Light interact and work together. You could totally see them being best buds under different circumstances.

no one in they're right mind would agree to do what light did innocent or a killer, people dont agree to have cameras in they're rooms, get themselves or they're girlfriends incarcarated and tortured and afterwhords agree to be linked with a person 24 hours until that person decides its ok for them to leave, not to mention any guverment leaving such a problem in the hands of 1 individual. this tv show is so bad I can't even imagine why people actually give it such high grades its mind blowing to me. And that's only the surfece there are so many plot holes i can't even count.

Not a big fan of how where this series is going, the first 12 episodes were really serious and suspenseful, this and the last one are full of random out of character moments and needless unfunny comedy.
