Well, look at that, we’re up to my lucky number thirteenth Archie’s House of Horrors. And I can’t imagine a better title to celebrate that milestone than Archie Comics: Judgment Day. After all, who doesn’t love talking about the end of the world?
It’s no mystery why apocalyptic settings are, ironically, a fertile playground for horror stories. The stories basically write themselves, as whether we consciously admit it or not, we’re always consumed by the fear of the end of the world. We’re constantly reminded of the doomsday clock and its hands shifting ever closer to midnight. Every day the world throws a new curveball at us and gives us stark reminders that life on planet Earth is not infinite.

Death Note fans have always debated the role of Light Yagami as a protagonist in the series. Some fans believe that his actions by the end of the series make him an antagonist, while others believe that he was still a good guy, but he got astray from his path and went on a killing spree to save himself, developing a God complex.

The creator of the series, Tsugumi Ohba, also thinks the same. In an interview, Ohba revealed that he refused to let Light Yagami become the bad guy, which is why the entire blame was put on Mikami for making a mistake. This way, even if Light became the villain of his own story, the blame would still land on Mikami rather than Light.

There are always two stereotypes followed in shonen mangas and animes, those that Masashi Kishimoto understood very clearly when he began working on Naruto. He had always taken great care when creating characters, making sure not to go too far with one or too little with another. This gave Kishimoto the opportunity to better explore his characters and make them more relatable.

This allowed him to give individuality to his creations in a way that made them stand out and blend with the crowd at the same time. He made crucial decisions about why one character had to be too smart while another was not even a little. In turn, he made a conscious decision to turn Naruto into a character whose vocabulary wasn’t as vast and whose mind wasn’t as sharp.

In the world of anime, there are childhood classics like Pokémon, Dragon Ball, and Naruto, and then there’s Death Note. Ever since the anime premiered in 2006, it solidified its status as a cultural icon, earning itself the honorable Animation of the Year award in 2007. The series stands apart from the other series in the Shonen genre because it does not rely on fast-paced action sequences to keep its audience hooked. Instead, it features a tug-of-war psychological warfare between Light Yagami and L.

Roman Reigns has accomplished everything in WWE, from winning the WWE Championship, Universal Championship, United States, and Intercontinental Championships. He has done it all. However, one of the most controversial moments in his career would remain his win at the 2015 Royal Rumble. The moment was so bad and embarrassing that even The Tribal Chief struggled to forget it.

While the Royal Rumble victory would have been his major stepping stone in his wrestling career, the fans did not acknowledge his massive achievement.

Voices That Bring Anime to Life: Celebrating the Best Anime Voice Actors of All Time ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Japan takes its anime voice actors very seriously to the point where they have special voice acting academies and schools to train them to master their art completely. This is exactly why these professionals are so versatile and have such natural, golden voices. In fact, a large number of avid anime fans prefer watching anime subs rather than anime dubs exactly because of this. Some Dub actors tend to exaggerate and overact as a way to compensate for the inconsistency in translations and syncing. Native voice actors retain the ‘authenticity’ that dubs lack.
The authenticity of the subs is attributed to the voice actors’ talent and how natural they are with their jobs. Here are some of the best Japanese anime voice actors of all time.

All hail the antihero.
The idea of an antihero has always been one that’s appealed to me. Grey areas, especially in morality, make for dynamic storytelling and sometimes, even if we don’t want to admit it, relatable characters.
In horror, villains are often more memorable than heroes—after all, you’re more likely to wear a Freddy Krueger costume for Halloween than a white cropped football jersey, but that doesn’t mean that even the worst villains aren’t without their own tragic backstories. However, a tragic backstory does not necessarily make a villain worthy of sympathy.

Netflix's track record with producing live-action anime is mixed, at best. The streamer's "One Piece" series has already been renewed, but the live-action "Cowboy Bebop" was a swiftly-canceled mess.
Their most infamous project, however, is probably "Death Note." This story, first told by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata in a mega-popular manga, focuses on the Japanese teenager Light Yagami. One day, a notebook falls from the sky into Light's lap. Dropped by a Shinigami (a Japanese death god) named Ryuk, the "death note" will kill anyone whose name is written on its pages. Light decides to purge the world of evil by using the Death Note to kill high-profile criminals, becoming a serial killer himself in the process. Dubbed "Kira" (a Japanese pronunciation of "Killer"), he gains allies (deludedly loyal pop idol Misa Amane) and adversaries (eccentric master detective L).
This 2017 film, directed by Adam Wingard, transposed this story to Seattle.

It’s been 15 years since the series finale of the popular anime Death Note aired. The premise of Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba’s popular series is quite simple. Light Yagami finds a mysterious book called the “Death Note”, which grants the user supernatural abilities to kill anyone whose name is written on its pages. Though the premise is simple, it’s a very complex topic that’s about more than just an ordinary teenager using a book to murder civilians. Since the end of its 37-episode arc in 2007, there have been plenty of adaptations trying to recapture the magic of the...

"Treehouse of Horror Xxxiii," aired on October 30, 2022, turned "The Simpsons" from animation into anime. In the episode's 2nd segment, "Death Tome," Lisa finds a book with the power over life and death, using it to take her environmental activism to new, homicidal levels. If you couldn't tell, the segment is a parody of "Death Note." The episode even renders Springfield and its denizens in anime style, with art supplied by South Korean studio Dr Movie, animators of "Death Note" itself.
"Death Note" is one of those go-to anime that even the anime averse have probably heard of. This makes it prime for parody by something as American mainstream as "The Simpsons." In fact, "Death Tome" is not even the first "Treehouse of Horror" parody of the series. However, the first pastiche happened not in "The Simpsons" itself, but a tie-in comic.

If you don’t at first succeed, then try again. Originally, Netflix made a Death Note adaptation in 2017 with Adam Wingard helming the feature film. Despite a talented cast that includes pre-Oscar nominated Lakeith Stanfield and the always awesome Willem Defoe, both critics and fans simply hated the movie. Clio Chang of The New Republic pretty much sums up the general consensus of the anime adaption, “Director Adam Wingard has robbed Death Note of its identity, messing up nearly everything that made the original series so compelling.” To recall, Death Note is about Light Yagami, a

Halia Abdel-Meguid is set to write and executive produce “Death Note,” a manga adaptation being developed at Netflix. The live action series comes from the company’s overall deal with Upside Down Pictures, the production company launched by “Stranger Things” creators Matt and Ross Duffer earlier this year.
The manga of the same name was written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata and published in 12 volumes between 2003 and 2006. The books follow Light Yagami, a teenage boy who finds the Death Note, a mysterious black notebook that gives him the power to kill anyone whose name and face he knows if he writes their name down. He struggles having such almighty power, and becomes the target of law enforcement around the world.

A thriller both psychological and supernatural, "Death Note" is a cat and mouse game, but the players change throughout the story. For the bulk of the series, it's a match between Light Yagami, the Death Note's owner who uses it to kill the world's criminals, and L, the world's greatest (and weirdest) detective who is determined to identify "Kira," the person responsible for the string of mysterious deaths.
L comes close to the truth several times, but Light manages to stay one step ahead. Part 1 of the series concludes with L's death; Light manipulated events so it wasn't even him who had to write L's name in the Death Note. However, Light's victory isn't permanent. L's two handpicked successors, Near and Mello, take over the Kira case. Like L, the two were raised in British orphanage Wammy's House. Mello also has a bitter, one-sided rivalry with Near.

This post contains spoilers for "Death Note."
"There is no Heaven or Hell. No matter what you do while you're alive, everybody goes to the same place once you die. Death is equal."
Fans of the original "Death Note" anime will remember these words spoken by L, who acts as the antithesis to Light Yagami throughout most of the series. However, in the "Death Note" manga created by Tsugumi Ohba (alongside artist Takeshi Obata), these words are spoken by Ryuk, the Shinigami who dropped the titular book on Earth for his own amusement. Interestingly, Ryuk tells this to Light, who is about to die within 45 seconds after Ryuk writes his name in the Death Note.
While the entirety of Ohba's "Death Note" is rife with twists and turns, with Light usually emerging victorious, this particular moment marks the end of Light Yagami and his rule as the self-proclaimed "god of the new world.
