EPISODE REVIEWS
light throwing his frustration directly at misa is so funny to me. he is not fooling anybody with this performance. the way he carries whatever the hell is going on with him while acting like everything is completely normal is fascinating to watch even if it makes me want to shake him tbh
the dice metaphor introduced here is the most memorable piece of dialogue writing in the second half so far. the tonal shift away from the direct cat and mouse dynamic of the earlier arc is very noticeable, and the show is clearly still searching for a new narrative rhythm to replace what it lost.
the new threat introduced in this episode makes everything so much more complicated and i am honestly stressed just thinking about where this is going. the energy here is completely different from before and i miss the old tone so much. light needs to sort his emotions out and we all know exactly who he is still thinking about.
