What is going on in this scene, then?

The main character's "death angel" really likes apples. He considers them a treat.

Baldr
The guy is under surveillance by the police, since they suspect that he's the one that's responsible for all the criminals dying of heart attacks. Therefore, he can't feed his invisible grim reaper acquaintance apples, which makes the grim reaper unhappy.

Five stars because when Japan does an anime adaptation, they scour the country looking for the one mutant actor that actually looks like a cartoon character.

Xenocide
More than a treat. He actually becomes physically addicted to them, and goes into weird convulsions without them.

Why apples? Because Japan is drunk on biblical symbolism.

Baldr im pretty sure the "angel" is all CG...pretty impressive too

Baldr
Klint, I wasn't referring to the CGI character, but the real people they use for the Light and L characters. They're both frizzy-haired, skinny-arm guys, with pale completions, and giant eyes.

When the US decides to do comic book adaptations, they ask, "Can we find a person who would look like that hero, if they were real human being." In Japan, they ask, "Can we find someone that actually looks like they belong in a comic book."

I laughed harder at this version of his reaction than I did at how either the comic, or the cartoon did it. Damn.

Although, I have to ask; does Ryuk end up doing handstands and twisting his body up like a pretzal in the movie adaptation? :D
