FULL, UNBLURRED EPISODES 1, 2 & 3 OF DEATH NOTE are available on Patreon now! patreon.com/jaredandjordanANIME

Whoever recommended this as yall first anime was smart and the type of guys we need😂 this is where you start before you get into these long thousand episode anime that people try to beg you to watch because they like it. This aime arguably one of the greatest of all time.

"How many names can he write down though?" - Yes

"is he batman or the joker?" "Both" Honestly, thats one of the best descriptions of light ive heard

27:01 "What they need to do is make this into a movie"😂😂 if only they knew

"and i'll take a POTATO CHIP... AND EAT IT!!!"

Damn guys . Im so hyped for this . Been with you guys since your first bts reaction . As an anime fan , this makes me so happy

I love how you guys actually try to invest yourselves into de media we all love. Hope you enjoy this great series and your anime journey.

I just discovered your channel and was pleasantly surprised to see you guys actually analyze and discuss unlike so many other react channels. an hour long video covering a 20 minute episode of anime is my kind of react content! thankyou!

One thing you will definitely learn about anime is that it's basically like saying "movie" or "TV show". The genre and style of anime can literally be anything the writers think of, for kids,for adults, romance action sci Fi horror thriller...pretty much anything. It's great you started with Death note because it will tell you exactly to shatter the idea of anime being juvenile or for kids. I'm 35 and have been watching anime since I was 7. It's something that's always funny to me because I am so normalized to what anime and manga is that normies have such a reaction like you guys. You got yourselves a sub!

Oh wow this was really a surprise. Also HOW you even managed to dodge anime for 28 years is crazy because I feel like they are everywhere and as a child I watched so many without even knowing they were.. well, anime. Glad to see you’re enjoying this classic and can’t wait for you to watch other masterpieces and get to see how the animation style evolved over the years too. There are all kinds of genres of anime but some of my favourites as a child were Detective Conan and One Piece (which are known to be never ending, 1000+ episodes), while some I have been enjoying the last few years include Spy x Family (a mix of wholesome lightheartedness and action), Jujutsu Kaisen (action/comedy/fantasy), The Promised Neverland (fantasy/mystery/a bit psychological), Demon Slayer (action/fantasy and BEAUTIFUL ANIMATIONS) and last but not least, considering how you’re familiar with the idol world because of BTS by now, I think Oshi no Ko would be a pretty interesting and thought inducing one to watch (even Namjoon recommended it!).

Death Note is one of the best anime starter and is also one of the best and greatest animes ever made. Welcome to the anime world!

Glad yall gave anime a chance! I truly believe there is an anime out there that can speak to everyone. The genre is so vast

Woow anime I didn't expect this so excited 😱😱🥳🥳

Holy crap! What an anime to start your journey with... Buckle up, you guys are in for a wild ride! :) Edit: Had to edit this, forgot to mention something. The analysis is mind-blowingly good! The way you connect the dots without any information (or just a few clues) is honestly super dope. I've seen that anime myself, but never thought about some of the things you said, damn! If only we all (humanity) could be this good at seeing through to the essence of things, the world would be a better place. I guess I need one of those books myself..

You don't have no idea how I LOVE when youtuber who reacting to this series read sub and carefully analyse the whole story. even this is the fist time for you guys but you made it better than I thought thank you

It's my first time here, and I already love this channel. I found it so interesting that they did a lot of research before even starting the anime. I've never seen anyone do that before. Both of them provide insightful comments and make an effort to understand what the anime is trying to communicate. I love it here.

godd, my favorite part of reactions to the first episode has to be when people go "I hope light doesn't go crazy with power" and then light immediately goes crazy with power it's so funny. like he doesn't even have a downwards spiral, he's already calling himself god in the first episode. oh I love this series

Anime really covers complex philosophies in its unique way, different from any other type of media imo. A lot of work is put into every single one starting from the manga drawings, story telling, animation, music, opening songs, voice actors who go through a lot of training… I have big respect for the artistry of it all, it moved me to tears countless of times. It had so much influence on me that I got interested in Japanese culture and I’m currently studying Japanese language and literature at university. Hope you enjoy this amazing journey!

Omg I love death note!!! Can’t wait to see you guys reaction 💜

I can't believe you're watching anime right now!! You should also watch Attack on Titan

Wow when you guys said “ what is a peaceful death” it made me think of itadori from jujutsu kaisen .. made me tear up a bit ngl 😅😂

this anime is 🔥🔥🔥

Dead note is pretty good for first anime to watch

Death Note was my 2nd anime. And I always say, good storytelling is good storytelling. Anyone who says what form the story is being told matters, hasn't consumed enough mind-bending good stories in their life.

"How many names can he write down?" I think the Mangaka confirmed that the Death Note essentially has infinite pages, or however many pages it has is constantly "changing" to be "enough". Could be wrong though. Been a while.

I am SO excited you guys are watching Death Note!!! Its personally my favorite anime series I’ve ever seen. It’s so methodical and captivating; I think you two being as analytical as you both are will lead to y’all enjoying every single insane twist it has to offer. And hang on, because it’s going to get INSANE! Can’t wait to see you guys watch the next episode!

Guys if you like psychological thrillers, you chose a good one! It's one of my favourites 💜 I'd like to explain some things for easier watching: 1. Main character's name is Light - first name (read Raito - Japanese version of the word 😊), Yagami - last name 2. Shinigami is basically grim reaper, they're beings charged with a task of 'killing' people. They do it by writing down human names in their Death Notes (they have a lot of rules). 3. This show is a little old (2006) so some concepts might be outdated. 4. Japanese society (and Eastern Asian culture in general) are obsessed with exams and their results. They pressure young people into studying, so ranking is extremely important to them. Mind you, Light is first place in the Japan (whole nation ranking), so he feels entitled and smarter than anyone else. Boys, strap in for the emotional and moraly conflicting ride! Borahae 💜

"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

With the way you guys take your time to analyze things and really digest what you’re watching, you guys would have a GREAT time watching Attack On Titan 10/10 can’t wait to join the rest of your anime journey 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Wow super in-depth I am glad I have found you guys!

Oh wow....okay, This is new 🥳 I'm Excited 😂 waiting 💜

This is my first time seeing your channel and can I just say, damn yalls voice is so buttery smooth

I did not expect this but damn I am so very glad you guys are getting into Japanese animation, after studying Japanese history an art myself in college last semester. I've more and more dove deeper into not only more historical japanese animations but also, knowing the cultural aspect makes it so much more interesting and fun. I know you guys will enjoy it and I'm excited for you!

i love how detail oriented you are. you do research and stuff

I'm so happy you're starting this journey! I love anime so much and the fact that you guys are reacting to anime after loving you on the BTS journey is just one of those things that just brings smiles to my face. Death Note is among my first anime since discovering this wonderful world myself, along with a few, so I'm excited to be the first choice. Thanks for the reaction! love and hugs

A good thing to know is that anime does kinda refer to a style of animation, which is why it's more than just Japan now. Back in the day Japan wanted to mass produce entertainment, so the government subsidized the industry, but the money wasn't much, so now today you have animation studios that have tons of money creating a cartoon style originally developed due to money limitations... so for example, the classic panning shots used to create tension without much movement, or everyone reacting in a scene separately and then a shot of all of them in tiles, was a anime trope because they would only have to animate one big picture and then move the camera focus to create many frames.

The big problem is the information,if somone is framed for a crime,and didn't do it but light think he did it,light kill an innocent,so the information ,the uncertainty makes it morally wrong

This is a great anime for newcomers. It is still one of the greatests I've ever enjoyed. Most people have never seen adult animation before getting into anime. It's becoming more common outside of Japan in the last 10 years or so but western animation is still stuck in the "animation for kids" rut. Death Note the series really shows what anime can do.

WOOOOW never expected this! but very hyped about it... plz I just hope you both keep reacting to it on utube... love your reactions!!!

I appreciate seeing you guys diving deeply into the audio and the hidden messaging and the artistry of the anime❤

Man this is a high quality reaction. First time I've seen anyone really pick apart what they're watching.

That book - for me - would be perfect for the terminally ill with no cure, in pain & tired of being in pain - I watched most of my family struggle with terminal illness & I could do nothing but watch

It's always fun to watch how people react to the opening theme song. Everybody starts neutral... then by the end they either hate it with a burning passion or are trying (and always failing-- myself included) to remember the words lol

I so appreciate how you’re approaching this series, very thoughtful, I like the discussions! First vid of yalls I’m watching, but subscribing anyway

If you're looking for more recommendations, which I'm sure you already have hundereds, you guys would probably enjoy "Hajime no Ippo". It's like the holy grail for boxing anime fans, with Ippo Makunouchi punching his way from being a bullied kid to a boxing beast. When "Hajime no Ippo" made its way to English-speaking audiences, it went by "Fighting Spirit." It's a show that'll teach you more about yourself than about boxing, honestly. As a kid who was bullied, it meant a lot to me. I never got yolked or learned how to fight, but I learned that no matter how hard you hit, or how much you're hit, the true strength comes from standing back up and having those who stand with you.

Attack on titan and Death note are my fav Animes of all time . I wish you continue this journey ❤

Best reactors I've ever seen lmao the way they stop at every important point is amazing and fun 😂😂😂😂

this is gonna be good XD cant believe I first watched this show when I was 11, now im 26. somehow it gets even better rewatching throughout the years

I'm already waiting for Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto and Attack On Titan

I love your guy's studious approach to the subject not treating this just as another show but also trying to understand the culture behind it.

You guys are a treasure! :D Good stuff checking out this medium! Death Note is one of the best for newcomers! Another one (that consolidates pretty much the highest standard of quality possible, besides maybe Studio Ghibli stuff) would be 'Your Lie in April'... though if you're emotionally sound, you'll probably have a good cry with that one.

I’m so glad you started anime! + this one is a great one to start off, and I’m so excited to hear your thoughts throughout this show

There are death note live-action movies that Japan has made. Also I know you guys are trying to avoid copyright but you should have the subtitles extremely visible so people can read them.

It's so cool how invested you guys are, taking notes and all the other stuff, hope to see more.

40:13 ryuk already confirmed to the viewer how much time passed since light got the book. he said something like "its been 5 days now since i dropped my book".

Omg you guys!!! Im fairly new to anime and I'm buzzing to see you guys starting this new journey!! There are so many gems and you guys are in for a fun ride!!!

This is such a thrilling reaction. I loved hearing your guys thoughts during the watch. It takes me back when I used to make predictions when I watched death note

Man, I'm so glad I finally watched this!! I remember when I saw the video pop up, and I got SO excited for you two! DeathNote is such a fun ride, and watching you two go on the twists and turns is going to be way too much fun! I've got some catching up to do...

This was my first anime too, and the perfect place to enter the world of anime.

I love that u guys will react to this!!!! U guys pay attention to good important details and always show much care in ur reactions. I will support y’all no matter what area we go into :))

I’m so excited to watch your reactions to Death Note! Someone first recommended it me years ago for my first manga and I was immediately hooked! Then when they did the anime it was a perfect adaption! So I’m excited to experience this great manga again through you guys! Love the content, love how you do your research, keep em coming!

15:45 I love the way that you both tilt your heads at the same time lol

Yesss this is my favourite anime and it just gets better from here, thank u guys for acc paying attention to all the details, bc for this show you're gonna need to

This is my first visit to y'all's channel, and you had me hooked the moment you said you take notes and always carry your notebooks. Death Note is my favorite anime, and I'm excited for you two to experience it.

Wow u guys are super insightful!! Love ittt 🥳

OMG I literally just binged this entire series & it's sooooo good

Death note is in my top 5 anime so im super excited about this. Jujutsu Kaisen is also very good. So hoping yall watch that too

Love yalls reactions

Great reactions, I love how you analyze the whole episode and dialogue 👌👌

loved ur reaction!!

Normally I skip the intro right to the start of the anime but you guys are actually really interesting! Thanks for reacting! I might encourage you to have someone moderate your comments. I've heard from a lot of other content creators that bad apples have tried to spoil stuff in the comments. You guys are gonna have a wild ride! Thanks for starting the journey!

i seriously love it and felt amaze at how you twins analyze a part, a scene etc... it felt like you are really into it and wants to understand it, and as a reaction lover and an anime fanatic. its really amazing and i would love to see more anime reactions with great storyline like this... kudos to you guys... and btw i love how you guys use wiki to search for terms haha

Loved your reaction can’t wait until your next episode I am looking forward to your anime journey 👍

I love their voices

First time on this channel and your analysis of this show so far is so great! Can’t wait to see y’all it watch more

Love how into the show you two get. New sub!

This show is greatest of all time .. many people think that anime is some kind of cartoon but after watching it they understand that this shows are soo mature

I love how much effort they put into learning about everythig they react to, like searching up anime and maga r u serious? Always continue to be this amazing much love

I love that you're starting with Death Note! I'm here for this journey. I love Death Note, but it's been a while since I've seen it. So, if you go through the entire thing it will be a fun journey.

it's my first time on your channel and i love the amount of research and note taking you do!!

This one and code geass are something else. Shinigami is a deathgod a less terrifying version of the western Grim Reaper, the “harvester of souls”.

Oh this is just a fking beginning yall r not ready for what's about to come? My first anime n a beloved one...when i say you'll never get bored n it will have your full attention I totally mean it!!!!!!! So Brace yourselves!!!

Damn you guys are very thorough with your reactions haha, i find it funny yet satisfying cuz that means you guys won't be lost at all while diving into something you don't jnow for the first time. Thank youfor checking out this amazing world of Anime.

“What they need to do is make this into a movie!” About that…😭

What a pleasant surprise to see you guys reacting to anime.. looking forward to more guys.

Hey guys. Quick note, this was actually dubbed in english, and it has a GREAT dub. Some character's voice is actually better in english.

Omg but Dragon Ball is such a legendary and iconic anime, all late 90's and early 2000's kids/teenagers here in Italy literally grew up watching Dragon Ball, it's so much fun and nostalgic, as it brings back so many memories. I remember me and my siblings coming back from school and quickly eating our lunch because they used to play Dragon Ball Z on tv at 2pm

So excited to see you guys react to anime. Especially Death Note!! I love this anime so much... it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Soooo excited to see how you guys react to this anime!!! :D

What does one say when they get caught committing a crime? "Ya ga' mi!" Thank you, thank you. I'll see myself out no need to call security.

This is my favorite anime! I'm so excited to watch it with you guys!

I LOVED this whole reaction

It's so good to see how well yall adapt to a new kind of platform of videos and make solid perditions keep it up I'm subscribing

Ryuk is said like ree-yuke

I absolutely love that you looked up the terms anime and manga first and that you are discussing your thoughts and feelings about it, instead of just jumping straight into the first episode. It was interesting to see you learn new things, please keep this up, it stands out positively to me in comparison to other reaction channels.

Immediately subscribed after seeing this. Anime has some of the best storylines and storytelling! I can't wait to watch the rest of this Deathnote journey and your follow-on shows ❤

Ah yeah! Death Note!! Lemme tear open a bag of chips and watch this go down🎉🎉🎉🎉

In Japan they say their last name first so his name is actually Light Yagami. Yagami is his last name

I can just tell you’re gonna love this

omg. this is a crazy good reaction. Im speechless
