The annual tradition of The Simpsons having a Treehouse of Horror themed episode for the Spooktober season is continuing to be upheld, but this time with a certain twist to it. In this year's episode, there's a crossover taking place between The Simpsons and Death Note, with Simpsons characters being made into characters from Death Note as Lisa ends up in the starring role as the one who receives it. When the trailer came out, many were surprised at the quality of it, before it was found out that the original Death Note animation team was the one who is behind the animation of the episode itself.

Reactions from people were all in unison, with praise for the collab, the design of the characters, and most importantly, how they view it as leagues better than the Netflix live action adaptation. One thing that continues to be a sticking point amongst the crowd, however, is that the usually Yellow characters are now in a different color palette, throwing off the senses to a degree as some sort of Uncanny Valley.
