It is very easy to look back on the last 25 years The Simpsons and save it as trash because, well, for the most part, it was. But sometimes, like the sun shining through an hour between passing storms, it can still be fixed and the upcoming tribute to A death note looks like one of those rare ones cases.
This is part of the next show Wooden house of horrors Halloween compilation, and will give The Simpsons full anime makeover for one of the episode parts. You can see it in action in this short video below, which features Lisa as the recipient of the Death Note (or, as it’s called here, the Death Book):

If your first thought was “wow, this looks way better than I expected,” you’re not alone! But there’s a very good reason this looks so authentic to the source material: this segment was animated by Korean studio DR Movie, which has a long history of helping out behind the scenes on various American and Japanese properties ranging from The Animatrix to League of Justice to, most importantly in this case, on A death note the anime series itself.
The episode will air on October 30 and will be the second of three segments. The other two will be a Babadook tribute featuring Marge and a Western world a parody. Which is odd considering The Simpsons already has done a Western world somethingwhich lasted an entire episode and is one of the great series of all timebut I guess 1994 was long enough ago (and the modern HBO series are so different) that they feel like they can do it again and newer viewers won’t even notice.
