The Anniversary Brothers TV Podcast: Death Note 15th Anniversary

Aaron and Josh are here to discuss Death Note for the 15th
anniversary of its American debut.


Death Note is an anime based on the manga by Tsugumi Ohba and
Takeshi Obata. It first premiered in Japan in 2006 and later in
the U.S. on October 21, 2007 on Adult Swim. The 37th and final
episode aired on July 6, 2008.


The series follows Light Yagami (Brad Swaile), a Japanese high
schooler who finds a supernatural notebook that can kill people.
Light tells the Shinigami Ryuk (Brian Drummond), the Death Note’s
original owner, that he will kill criminals and become the God of
the New World. Facing off against Light in a battle of wits is
the world’s greatest detective, L (Alessandro Juliani).


Death Note garnered praise for its thrilling narrative, though it
also drew criticism due to real life imitators. The series has
been adapted into live action in Japan and the U.S.


Aaron and Josh talk about their initial exposure to Death Note
and break down the plot, characters, and more.


For more anime, you can listen to Josh and Aaron chat about

Ball franchise.


Death Note is streaming on
Netflix.
