A thriller episode done right
There's so much twist and turns in this episode that just keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire episode. Overcast really shows Kira's brilliance and ruthlessness in his quest for "Justice", a must see for sure!

Episode
Definetley one of the best episodes
The level of manipulation light used was amazing, and his solution felt rewarding whilst being unexpected his lies came off smoothly and really added a level of trust. Definitely death note at its best.

The One That Hooked Me
From the beginning, Death Note was a show that had my full attention. By the second episode I was engrossed in the conflict and confident in its smart writing. However, I was yet to understand what made it one of the best anime, ever. This episode is what changed everything.
You will spend most of "Overcast" drawn in and captured by its back and forth dynamic and sense of urgency. It takes a simple situation and uses it to give viewers a look into what makes the different characters tick. This episode is full of character moments, and the ending is what solidifies who Light truly is. Beautiful, suspenseful, and tragic, this episode hooked me.

Peak Writing & Execution - My favorite Anime episode I've ever watched so far
I was on the edge of my seat the entire time while watching.
The buildup throughout works perfectly as the harrowing yet genius ending is revealed as Light shows the lengths of his manipulative power.
In all honesty I haven't seen such a mental and logistic battle executed with such class and intensity since I watched "Chicanery" of Better Call Saul.
Light is an awful person but I couldn't help myself be satisfied at his plans and execution throughout the rollercoaster that is this episode.
The fact this was 24 minutes long surprised me as I was entranced while watching and all sense of time left. This usually only happens with longer shows but this did so in such a short period of time.
Without a doubt my favorite of the series so far and a 10/10.
Recommend this to everybody & I would like to know of other shows with the same qualities.

Anime at its peak!
There is no epic fight, no epic rage sequence nor a tragic background story revealed in this episode, but it is still one of the most thrilling moments of anime ever!
This is the episode that settles death note for me as the greatest show of its genre.
I'm recently rewatching this series after 10 years and although I had forgotten almost everything (due to my young age back then, by the way) the last scene still remained in my memory.
I think it's the excellent execution that made the moment so remarkable. An intense tension is built up and held until the last second and in addition there comes the brilliant ost. In the end you just sit there in shock and question the goodness of our beloved main character for the first time.
Iconic episode!!
