We review the second part (episodes 14-26) of Death Note. The hype never stops in this anime, even with a big tone shift and slower pacing for several episodes. We discuss the complexities of the story, whether Light is inherently good or evil, and the pivotal moment with L. And as first-time viewers, we speculate what happens in the final part of Death Note.

Courtney reviews Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway (Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou.). Despite the sus title, this was a hidden gem of the Spring 2021 anime season with a story that was heartwarming. Plus, this show has Yoshida, who is one of the best protagonists this year with his kind and caring demeanor.⁠
