Death Note/Narm: Difference between revisions

** The Spanish version has the same lines and one extra problem: his voice cracks.

* Mikami's [[Catch Phrase]] of "DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!" is [[Narm Charm|another cross between awesome and narm]]. It would help it if didn't sound like he was channeling [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]].

* {{spoiler|Mikami's death}} in the anime. It would have been more dramatic without all the [[High-Pressure Blood]]. Seriously, it's like a geyser.

** {{spoiler|And if he hadn't done it with a ''pen''. Sure, you'd probably die if you stabbed yourself in the chest with a pen in real life, but it wouldn't have caused blood to spray from your body like a firehose.}}

** Considering he's the first sign the task force gets of Near's existence, the moment is a good, hearty ''tennis is still in season''.

* A kid threatened bullies with this gem:

* "I want to tell you I'm L." Really anticlimactic there, L.

** This happens in the dub because the way L said "I'm L" in Japanese is "Watashi wa L desu." The significance of L and Light's [[Japanese Pronouns]] is for another page. The point is, [[Too Long; Didn't Dub|this is a long phrase to match]], and the [[Mouth Flaps|match is awkward]].

** The scene was better in the manga: the reader sees "I am L", rather than hearing it, and then immediately sees Light's reaction.

* A certain foot-washing scene is [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|supposed to be a Biblical reference]], but it's more awkward than anything else.

** She refers to L as "Stalker-san."

*** Misa's one to talk.

** The armchair tipped over. [[Fridge Logic|How did this happen?]]

*** Interestingly, this scene is a lot more serious when you first watch it (provided you're an L fan); it looks like L is having a Kira heart attack, and your like "Oh Shit, L NOOOOOO!!!" Then you realize that L did not in fact have a heart attack, you're relieved, and don't notice the [[Narm]]. Then you watch it again, know that L doesn't die {{spoiler|at that point}}...Priceless.

* Sidoh looks like a total dork screaming "yippee" when {{spoiler|he regains his Death Note}}. It feels inappropriate, since this comes right after {{spoiler|Soichiro's death.}}

* Any of Mello's scenes in the English dub. His voice actor is trying so hard to sound dramatic that his dialogue sounds pathetically unrealistic. Sadly, this makes it hard to take Mello seriously. The over-the-top expressions Mello tends to make probably don't help.

*** The anime strongly implies that Mello planned his Death. Waiting to give Takada the blanket could be to show that he realizes what's about to happen. So it's like "You can use this blanket!" *pause* 'As soon as I hand it to her, my time is up.' *gives blanket*. But yeah, it did seem akward the first time I watched it.

* This scene (slightly paraphrased):

* The deleted scene in which Light stays in the graveyard after L's funeral, starts laughing madly, proceeds to crawl on top of L's grave, and shouts "What do you think of that, L? This is my perfect victory! That's right—I win!" with a crazed look on his face. It is chilling until we see Light looking like a dog barking at the postman when he yells at L's grave.

* {{spoiler|Light's utterly disgraceful manga death.}} I'm still not sure whether it was intended to be sad, horrific or satirical, but I was laughing so hard I almost choked.

* Funny fact, Light's last name is "I'm a gay" written backwards. No wonder the guy never seems interested in women.
