I got Death Note HTR13 recently and reading it made me realize how there's barely any thematic meaning put into this story intentionally. Same with political commentary. Even (most of) the discussion around morality. Everything remotely intellectual ppl discuss about this series isn't a conscious decision, to a point that both Ohba (creator/writer) and Obata (artist), admit they were surprised by how much ppl had to say and analyze abt it.

Example of what I mean:

Also during the interview sections, there's so many instances of Obata asking Ohba what his creative vision was for this and that and Ohba just nonchalantly admitting he barely put any thought into the story beyond "oh this would be cool" or "oh this kinda fits the vibe".

There's a whole page of the interview where Obata is befuddled how the apples didn't have any intended symbolism behind them after Ohba tells him they were purely an aesthetic choice. Obata is so shocked by this (bc he knows apples are a common religious motif in art) he actually keeps asking Ohba if he's joking, while Ohba keeps stressing he's being serious. (Context: they never interacted while working on Death Note, they only spoke through their editor who'd rely production notes)

Obata for like three pages during his interview with Ohba in HTR13, after Ohba told him apples had no symbolic or thematic meaning in Death Note:

#EDIT: upon further reflection I think it's likely that in some segments Ohba was being humble or vague for privacy reasons #I just wanted to clarify that I no longer think that DN is a happy accident entirely! There was clearly still thought put into it.#(but a lot of it still very much feels like a happy accident at least imo)#death note #death note 13: how to read #tsugumi ohba #takeshi obata #💬 katposts #🤪 sillygoofy #analyses&meta

Started this as a tiny sketch more than 10 years ago, and I finally finished it...

Interesting how she wore this in the anime JUST before a major character died

Part 1 of the long Death Note Analysis

Okay no because I’m sorry but what the fuck. You’re telling me that of the SIXTY-FOUR cameras that were placed in Light’s room, NONE of them thought to place one RIGHT WHERE HE SITS at his goddamn DESK??? Like HELLO???? Bro is writing names left right and center and not a SINGLE one of the 64 goddamn cameras can catch his WRITING?? Man no wonder he doesn’t respect his dad or the ICPO, they’re fuckin’ STUPID.
