Description
This week Joey and Aki dive deep into what makes an anime villain. They focus on Death Note, and about whether L or Light is the villain. The duo think it's really interesting in Death Note, that there's no definitive 'villain.' Characters do evil things, but that's part of a bigger story that explores what happens when a good guy gets given immense power (like Light getting a Death Note).
