episode 7

nooo not the voice filter again 😭😭

watari says L is jealous of light’s yotsuba breakthrough AND much more importantly calls his boy just 'L' without the 'Mr' ^_^

L cockblocking light and misa LMAO

Kuschelhase 💀💀💀

for reference that means 'cuddle bunny'. german terms of endearment are notoriously fucking unbearable

yes L sarcastically calls light 'Kuschelhase' yes it makes me want to throw myself off a rooftop thank you for asking

misa wants a trenchcoat and hat if she gets to do spy shit. she should be besties with watari

aiber‘s accent is Killing me

wedy is much more savvy about sexual manipulation than L, and passed her skills on to misa to ensure her success with yotsuba

wedy: "[L] knows nothing about women" - L: "nobody does" (babygirl please)

this drama makes me ship wedy/misa

sudden graphic audio vomiting…. thanks….

matsuda you Idiot lol

misa manipulating higuchi is still delightful, as per usual <3

L: "this [misa tricking matsuda and running off] is wedy‘s fault. she’s created a monster!" haha lol lmao

…gay representation…????? but at what cost??????

wedy watari interaction hooray!!!!

presidential alert the boys are fightingggg

L is behind a door and i am hardcore Struggling to understand a word of what he’s saying

light is pissed. it makes him very rude

WWKD (What Would Kira Do)

presidential alert the boys are getting along

L takes a potato chip and eats it ✨

idk why matsuda‘s lack of fashion sense is a running gag. i miss the blueberry muffin :/

higuchi called misa a slut. KILL THIS MAN

highlights from the german death note audio drama: episode 1

(because i need someone to bear witness to my slow spiral into insanity)

the very first scene is light doing a dramatic kira speech which gets interrupted by his mom calling him down for dinner, a gag which to my knowledge will be repeated at Least one more time throughout the story, possibly more

"i could be a sex god if i weren’t so good with death" - Ryuk

ryuk being highkey horny is going to be a pretty regular occurrence btw. i’m not going to keep mentioning it but just assume that if he’s in a scene, he’s being sultry

watari is Siezing* L i hate it here

"i need to change wifi hotspots" - L, the smartest person alive (supposedly)

68 percent of victims…. so close to the funny number 😔

they’re pronouncing it ya-GA-mi and it’s killing me

bad french accent 💀

L is incredibly hard to understand with his voice filter *cries in auditory processing problems*

bad standup comedy 💀

light almost just choked to death on curry

btw i’m a big fan of how every adaptation has to make light kind of a dumbass (in this case so they can convey that he’s startled or upset in audio only)

is watari flirting with the interpol leader lady????

also watari just made a heart attack joke go off kingggg

*formal address, which uses "Sie" + 2nd person plural instead of the more informal/familiar "du" + 2nd person singular. the bane of all german translations and dubs <3

[idridian]

'delusional watari apologist' is such a funny stance for L to take ngl

(asterisk footnotes under the cut)

* "komm schon" means "come on" but the english translation simply doesn’t convey the incredible Vibe of that line properly so here you go. ask for clarification on what i mean by this at your own risk

** part of hands down one of my favourite moments in the drama: Police Guy: "Does your butler have a permit for that assault rifle?" L: "He's not my butler" Watari: "Technically that's a sniper rifle"

*** the guy's name is Lutz Mackensy and he has quite the resumé. further german dub work highlights of his include doc brown from bttf, hans gruber from die hard, casear flickerman from the hunger games films, po's adoptive dad from kung fu panda, and (the one that made me personally scream and cry because of Reasons) frank poole from 2001: a space odyssey
