ah anime L does not smile at light's response to the first friend scene. okay. awesome.
THE ANIME CUT THE PEOPLE IN THE MANGA WHO NOTICED LIGHT IS TWO-TIMING NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOO
people talk a lot about whether the anime is more or less sympathetic towards light than the manga and i've leant both ways in the past but right now i think neither of those is right exactly… the anime takes out the sunk cost fallacy panic of the manga because it wants to focus on light's aim of saving the world (via mass murder) - emphasized with the lyrics of op 1 'the world' (i pledged a vow to the revolution), emphasized with all the terrible news about the world light is inundated with from the start that is only present in silent visual background form in the manga - and so it makes him more detached at the start maybe because it's playing into stereotypes about quiet kids yeah but also because this is a light that is more jaded and less entertaining of friendship or family because he cares so much. because he hates the current state of the world so badly. so i suppose what i mean to say is i think the anime and manga are both sympathetic to him in different ways.
i cannot believe the anime took this out what if i committed murder
🔥 topic: kiyomisa :3c
YESSSSSSS YAYYYYYYYYYY YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE
my somehow unpopular kiyomisa opinion is that i wish there was more fanwork of them along the lines of them killing and eating each other. every time i poke around 2010s dn discussions people are conceiving of them as ??? nice ??? which is not a bad thing!!! i really enjoyed a lot of it!!! keep making fluffy kiyomisa i love seeing the blorbos happy!!! but the fact that this was overwhelmingly the majority perception BAFFLES ME thankfully i don’t think this is the case anymore.
anyway that’s low hanging fruit let me think of some higher hanging fruit. uhh. i think it’s really cute that kiyomi wants to kill misa so so bad that it’s the one and only thing she speaks up to light about. like that’s so cute. apparently the anime moves this scene before the dinner scene(? correct me if i’m wrong) which is interesting because then it makes sense why kiyomi is more confident during the dinner scene, because she’s been assured that misa isn’t a threat, compared to the manga where she loses that interaction by a kilometer and then goes to light like Please let me kill her Yagami-kun I need to kill her right now. but i like that in both versions misa is the only crack in her facade, right, both in the sense that she’s the looming threat to the domestic tableau she’s enacting with light and in the sense that manga misa gets kiyomi genuinely and severely thrown off and anime misa gets kiyomi to laugh like a maniac
i'll never ever forgive the anime for cutting "i was supposed to die that day anyway" thank god for borrowed time from the musical bringing misa's dead girl walking swag back into the zeitgeist.
anyway that got me to watch the dinner scene in the anime and maybe i am just a pedant but why does it read vastly differently what is happening
