Thank you so much for that Death Note video. In high school, many years ago, I was OBSESSED with the manga, the show and the movies. I wasn't yet awakened to the truth, so many things went over my head, but I thought it was so intelligently written and deep. Some things in the video I realized over the past couple years, but I never made the connection between the names and the relationship of Light and L. EL?!?! So obvious!!! Also Light becoming the second L...crazy. As I was reading the book of Enoch where it talks about the fallen angels being held in Hell (or under "jagged rocks") I immediately thought about the shinigami in the underworld. Many anime have esoteric and occult references. Now I hardly read manga or watch anime anymore but that was always the one thing I like about it. A lot of mangas and anime draw from real world history that, for the most part, are unpopular or hidden in the western world. Of course you must take the meat and throw out the bones... I also remember seeing real life "Death note" notebooks being sold in stores. A horrible idea for children but can't say I'm surprised...
Japanese anime is no stranger to topics that are just catching steam and becoming mainstream in the US like transgenderism, incest, pedo-philia, transhumanism, demons/satanism etc...I remember seeing manga related to those things years and years back. I can only imagine it's gotten more abundant in recent years.
