A Hard Choice

Warning: Spoilers
With Light and Misa Amane loosing their memory of being Kira, everyone is on edge, especially L who becomes a little disheartened. Light atteempts to help and even finds a pattern in the killings and traces it back to the Yotsuba Company. The Company to avoid being ivestigated bribe the Police to quitting their ivestigation, leaving a hard choice for the task force who have to quit pursuing Kira or give up their livelihood. The Choice is especially difficult for officer Aizawa who has a familly to raise, which in my opinion brings one of the most emotional scenes in the series thus far, especially if you're a parent.
Very good

A very interesting episode. I still don't like Light's oblivion plot but it doesn't make this anime bad. I remember that I don't like the plot of these executives being Kira but let's see what happens, I don't remember much. As much as I consider Death Note a masterpiece and the best anime ever created, only once in my life have I gone all the way to the end, because of this forgetful plot and the executives, and there will also be something later on (I won't spoil ) which will make this anime go downhill, at least in my opinion, and I also have to rewatch it to draw my own conclusions, as I said I watched it in its entirety only once and I don't remember almost anything. I still give it a 10 because even though I don't like these plots, it's still a very good anime. Oh and according to the Series Bank, this anime is divided into two seasons while on IMDB and Netflix it only has one season of 37 episodes, I will consider it as just one season. Episode eighteen watched on March 6, 2024.
True filler

This episode changes the plot so that L's group now are no longer affiliated with the police. This detail seems pointless- like, how does this change the paradigm at all? L has limitless resources so having no access to the police database doesn't seem to matter. A distinction without a difference.
The time spent on Aizawa also feels unearned. We have barely gotten to know him over the course of the show so setting up a plot line where he must choose between his family or the job feels like it exists just to get rid of him. Why does the cast need to be thinned? His character is largely an exposition vehicle anyway. I like the final moment where he enjoys a moment of peace outside with his family and then bursts in to tears. I just wish there had been more of a buildup to the climax.
(Side note: Amnesia changing Light's personality completely is ridiculous. That didn't happen with Amane! The idea that Light was "corrupted" by the Death Note in to becoming aloof, cold, anti-social, and arrogant is silly in the extreme. The death note could only enable the feelings he already had. It couldn't change him that drastically that quickly.)
