Where is the Justice? - Death Note Musical Animatic

Love how much the students do instead of only singing, they have their own choreography! This is so well made, I love it!

[@number4privetdrive]

Thank you very much!

[@checkmate-ei9ze]

Damn! Its not very hard (actually pretty easy) to imagine Light in a political setting. Look at how he got the whole class to sing in his favor. He's confident in his arguments and also openly willing to speak up (and manipulate his audience), then there's the megalomania & narcissism (traits commonly found in politicians). I can easily see him getting elected for whatever he signed for.

[@rexhex3700]

Really good work!

[@agostoangosto9442]

2:06 I like the detail of the murderer's face fading into light's. Great job!

[@XX-sp3tt]

1:39 This is the true seed to Kira's existence. Not just anger at an unfair imperfect world that needs to change. Wanting to be the next Robespierre with a new guillotine.

[@CheesyLizzy]

I kove how light's solution to this is to just blindly murder anyone who's ever been arrested

[@WhatACleanWindow]

L says himself that “Kira has a childish and simple view of justice”

[@MorbiusBlueBalls]

well he mostly killed prisoners who were already proven guilty.

[@MorbiusBlueBalls]

​@@WhatACleanWindowi think the moment someone kills or r someone they lose their right to live. what's childish about that view?

[@xxchesire_catxx8176]

@MorbiusBlueBalls it’s childish because it’s not that simple. People kill for a bunch of different reasons, a lot of them being desperation or self defense. Battered Wife Syndrome is a very real thing. Does an abused partner who killed their spouse deserve to be executed when they fully believed their life was in danger? And in regards to your previous comment: we DON’T actually know if those people were actually guilty. Innocent people go to prison. Not to mention that not all prisoners even DESERVE death. A person who went to jail for breaking and entering where no one got hurt doesn’t deserve to get murdered by someone with a magic note book justifying his own god complex. This is also built off of the idea that most people in prisons are rapists and murderers and crime bosses, when in reality, very little murder cases are actually solved, rapists are extremely hard to convict, and police can be in the crime bosses pocket anyways. Those who are actually in prison are those with mental health problems, are drug addicts, or are people of color who are extensively over policed (at least in America anyway, though I don’t doubt it’s something similar in other places). Plus, Light literally kills FBI agents in the show?? Ofc there’s a lot to be said about the FBI being corrupt in its own ways, but characters like Raye Pember and Naomi were either just doing their jobs or trying to catch him and bring him to justice (hah). There are a lot of great points he makes in the song that come from a real, genuine wish to help, but the whole point of Death Note is that he took it too far.

[@zzskyninjazz1821]

@@MorbiusBlueBallsconsidering there’s a startling amount of people who we’re innocent but giving the guilty sentence and even death sentences then yeah it’s not that simple

The way the teacher ran out of there 💀

how does this not have more love??? anyways great animatic and great work!! keep it up

[@number4privetdrive]

Thank you!

[@jocelinperez1986]

This is why we don't bring up politics in class love your work btw😌👏

[@number4privetdrive]

Ahaha I'd forgive them if they could sing their argument like Jeremy Jordan. Thanks!

[@jardex2275]

This is why politics SHOULD be brought up in class.

[@ladyscorpioghost3152]

I am thriving, I am LIVING, and I am smilling like a fool for someone actually making an animatic for the musical AND being this song! LOVE IT!!!

[@number4privetdrive]

Thank you so much! :D I'm glad you liked it

[@AraneaTempestatum]

Finally, the musical did what the anime and manga did not, giving a character a genuine interest in justice outside of the established norms of society. And shit I love it.

[@trebaneconapise7793]

DUDE MAKE THIS A LIVE THING, TAKE MY GODDAMN MONEY. (i don't have money actually, but I NEED this in real life reenaction video, not just as a theatre performance, the transitions are SO GOOD - like the police officers in the street and the father closing the curtains, moving on to the "family" part, watching the TV and moving on to the "afraid to walk the streets" part. Just so, so well-structured, including camera angles, blocking, details like having the text written down in japanese... Really, i love this so much.)

[@number4privetdrive]

Thank you for your kind words!! :^)

[@lightyearpig12]

That poor teacher didn't expect his class to start breaking out into song about the unfairness of society.

[@moonpaper215]

This truly is one of the best animatics I've ever seen. Thank you so much. All the expressions, perspectives and transitions are excellent

[@number4privetdrive]

Dude, you've got me emotional 😭 Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked it!

[@kajiyamas]

this is so professionally made omg i loved the transitions & the hints to light not being as just as he seems AAA so good

[@captaincube132]

hi just discovering this now during my Death Note Musical Autistic Obsession Arc and it's GOOD STUFF. the lack of awareness around this show is a crime Kira should punish

[@number4privetdrive]

Thank you! Happy to feed into it :^)

[@WilliamAfton48]

I'd be afraid too if I was standing in front of a class and they all started singing and standing on their desks.

[@kolapon6832]

This is so underrated! Especially love the composition of the shots.

[@carrionysus5893]

incredible. great use of choreography and staging

[@number4privetdrive]

Thank you very much! :)

[@aliciam6145]

Amazing! The beats are very well done, and I could see the rising tension build throughout. It reminds me a bit of the staging in the actual musical, but you made the students even more involved

[@number4privetdrive]

Thank you very much!! It's been a while, so I don't remember, but I believe I did reference the staging from the musical. :-)

[@ButterflyColors]

This is so amazing! The pacing, visual storytelling, and thought that went into this is so good!!!!

[@luv9397]

If i had listened to this song when i was in middleschool i def would have agreed with light, and in some points i still do but, again he forgets the humanity of even criminals. Yes we have created a flawed system that needs to be reconstructed because it is NOT fair or equal due to the fact that their is inherent prejudice present based of race, gender identity or income status. But light is veru wrong here, we should NOT go back to black in white, i see he wants clarity but at the same time this means more of that prejudice and unfairness. It is important to ask “why did a individual murder’ while still respecting the hurt the victims are going through

[@starrydayzz]

this is great and looks proffesional! great work!

[@Asriel_Dremr]

You should do animatic on, feed the machine, give and take, stronger than the whiskey, and Good people by poor mans poison an underrated band with some really poignant songs that are not nearly as well known as they should be.

Pretty awesome work. Except I found the teacher getting scared and running out at the end to be a tad overdramatic.

[@powerbalancevathelastkitsu2504]

While i agree with what he's saying, the system thats already been established isn't going anywhere. Everyone is too comfortable with it, and it benefits too many. Unless the new system is given a chance to work, we aren't going anywhere

[@threecards333]

This song could straight out of Starship Troopers book (not the movie, which went in its own direction.) The class on citizenship and civil responsibility, except that the teacher's rebutal is merely a Socratic token opposition with sarcasm.
