The other thread is lost to obscurity in piles of archives. If you can find it, merge it.
Last week's episode was the meeting of Misa and Amane. So far, it seems pretty well done, although I'm not a big fan of Rem's voice and I miss Misa referring to herself as "Misa Misa".
This episode had the epic hugging. Death Note sure has a lot of those. The episode before was Light's Epic Freakout, and before that was the Epic Flipout by Light's dad. Then of course, before that, Epic Tennis… Yeah, Epic moments abound.
