First look at the Simpsons parody of death note!



According to Carolyn Omine, one of the writers on the episode, this year’s episode is filled with Easter eggs, which shouldn’t be all that surprising given what can be seen in the clip above and the series’ aforementioned history. This is far from the first time The Simpsons has referenced anime, with plenty of past episodes nodding to the likes of the films of Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, Attack on Titan, Pokémon, and more across the years. I myself long ago succumbed to Simpsons fatigue, but this episode looks intriguing enough that I might actually make time to watch it.
