Do you know what a Shinigami is? Neither did I, until I was persuaded to watch the anime, Death Note. Shinigami are the death gods of Japanese folklore. My interest piqued while watching Death Note and I decided to put together a fun Japanese folklore episode! Recently I’ve been working on watching a few anime series and decoding the messages within them. Anime does a great job revealing a little bit of truth in a creative & mystical way. I’m currently watching Attack on Titan (listener request) and man are there some clues about the giants and bloodlines in there!! (But I’m not ready to reveal my findings on this one just yet)! But the anime I will spending some time on today is Death Note. There are a lot of inverted characters and ideals in this anime. The symbolism of the red apple 🍎 (much like in the Witcher) is very prominent in Death Note. Harkening back to the knowledge of good and evil, the first sin, and the corruption of innocence. Today we will be talking about all that and more! The full version of the episode can be enjoyed on Patreon, and you can sign up by clicking the link below.
