@@jadaw644 I should've been clearer: the director AND the screenwriter made this solely based on a synopsis. And the director has to have a connection with the source material (a.k.a. being a fan of it) to adapt something properly. That's how Lord of The Rings, 2021 Dune and Alita are masterpieces and Dragonball Evolution and Netflix's Death Note are terrible.

[@jayjayeverett2456]

I really wish they made that AU animated, it would have been so much better. But the live action Bungou Stray Dogs movie is from a light novel called 'Bungou Stray Dogs:Beast', it's where Dazai is the mafia boss, Oda is in the ADA, and Atsushi and Akutagawa switch roles and somewhat personalities. Atsushi is in the mafia with this cold demeanor, and Akutagawa is in the ADA.

Ditto. It's a great movie to "boo"

[@submariNervous]

Same. Honestly, in my experience it's actually a pretty fun watch if you go into it treating it like a parody instead of a serious attempt to mimic the original. Granted, I say this as someone who was in her sophomore year of high school when the manga first came out in the states, and still has oddly fond memories of watching each new episode in 5 parts in 360p resolution on KZbin because there was no such thing as streaming back then. Then again, my best friend and I _also_ lived through the Death Note fandom at its absolute _cringiest_ (and I'm not too proud to admit _I_ was one of those cringe fans back then), so we were largely numb to the more painful parts of the Netflix movie by the time it came out. XD

[@Rat_Remmi]

My friend and I watched the first half hour and we’re so disgusted that we stopped and watched the series for hours

[@galaxy_kitten95]

I watched it when it first came out due to morbid curiosity. To see how much of an obvious trainwreck it will be. As a result, I remember vividly receiving a headache out of anger and annoyance while watching the whole film. All the moments of myself pausing the movie because of poor attempts at jump scares (Death Note is not even horror, so it made zero sense to me) and ridiculous changes from the anime from its story, progression, and ESPECIALLY its characters and their motivations. I never felt this pissed at a Westernized take on one of my favorite anime series since Dragon Ball Evolution. The original Japanese live action Death Note films were better than this. Hell, I would much rather watch the 2015 TV drama again over this, which was another poor retelling of the series IMO.

[@TwighlightPrince1]

Danny Motta at the beginning of the video: “I genuinely can’t remember what upset me so much about this movie. I just remember it made me very angry.” Danny Motta essentially at the end: “Oh that’s right! It was literally all of it!”

[@ddietz8778]

Can we address the fact that you can apparently kill death gods by writing their names in the book? Its not manga-compliant but if we’re making Ryun into more of an antagonist that would be a really interesting idea to explore, outwitting and ending this malevolent supernatural being.

Then i realised it was a live action and I decided that it was probably gonna be really bad and I was right. So glad I didn’t watch and thank you for showing me what it was about

[@PeanutWithWiFiAccess]

With movies like these, the illegal website is usually the better option

[@RottingMoss]

What's additionally painful about this is that there were Death Note live action movies that existed nearly a decade earlier that were LEAUGES above this nightmare. The actors were great if not hamming it up a bit, it stuck to the concept but only changed the ending up a bit, managed to get an L-centric spinoff movie and book, and had probably some of the closest visual casting choices I've seen in a live action adaptation (see: Kenichi Matsuyama as L). Hell, even the weird drama was more interesting and engaging than this and it came out only 2 years before.

I think the reason Netflix's Deathnote didn't offend me was because I watched an interview with the directors beforehand, where they explained they were going for an alternative/"what if" version of deathnote that was more of an American horror than clever crime thriller, so I was never expecting anything close to a faithful adaptation from the beginning. (Moral of the story: Keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed lol)

I told her "Well, for starters I'm a sucker for mystery detective plots and the original anime is a mixture of action with mindblowing twists and just two very inteligent people constantly trying to outsmart the other. It's kind of nice seeing people using their brain and just being clever in general." and, I'm not even exagerating, she told me with a deadpan face "well im really glad the movie is not like that, I would've hated it, this is better" I...

I'm 100 percent sure that this movie would've been infinitely better received if it wasn't marketed as a Death Note adaptation. It's not great by any means but I definitely wouldn't call it terrible either. And unlike most anime live action adaptations this one actually feels like it was made because someone had a story to tell, instead of simply trying to cash in on brand recognition. The acting, cinematography and editing are all pretty solid too, even if the script isn't.

[@theunnamed2517]

I agree. A step would have been to definitely change the names and establish this is a completely different set of characters, rather than attempting to recycle old material. Because this looks a lot like a poor interpretation of the original.

1) the scene with Ryuk sucks because Light in the anime/manga was barely fazed when he saw him, since he already figured out it's not for this world 2) according to Light's investigation the death description has to be plausible or he'll just die of a heart attack 3) Light for the entirety of the show had no problem getting women. he was smart, good looking, athletic he used misa as a cover and because of her eyes. he was never awkward. if he got close to somebody it was because he had a plan. best example for this was when he took a girl on a date so he could force an FBI agent that worked for "L" to reveal his identity 4) anime Ryuk basically sat back and watched the show, he dropped the notebook because he was bored, also in th anime we are told there is only 2 ways a shinigami can die. 1 is to reach the end of his lifspan and 2 is to save someone from death. you can't write their names

Also, an emotional L is the best joke, because it’s like a hormonal, emotional, and easily manipulated Light, so far from the source that it in itself is a joke. I feel like they wanted to make a romantic comedy with some darkish themes and couldn’t get their show green lit, so they went for a fairly popular (which Netflix was familiar with) show with some good IP to use as a disguise for their own show.

They definitely had to buff the death note a lot to make up for the writers inability to write lightbulb as smart as og light, the biggest problem I think is that they just gave every character heightened emotions to increase the drama, the problem is light is supposed to be cunning and smart, lightbulb is emotional and impulsive, impulsivity is a characteristic used in stories as a flaw that is a foil to intelligence, A SMART CHARACTER SHOULDN’T HAVE THAT! Especially one on the level of light. This means the death note has to do all the heavy lifting to balance lights impulsivity, which shouldn’t have been there in the first place!

They used him doing other people's homework to tell us that he's smart so they didn't have to actually make him do any smart things. 💀💀💀💀

I also heard that the actor for L was a huge fan of Death Note and was really excited to be casted as L, but was disappointed when he read the script. I don't know how true that is, but I'd be too if I was casted as my favorite character and then got some Walmart brand version of them.

I’ve been meaning to ask you, having an award winning director background, what anime would you like to make in a live action? With hypothetical unlimited resources at your disposal, how would you go about it (casting, music, locations, etc)? I know it’s not a simple question to answer but I would love it if you made a video response.

I heard Unravel in the background in the beginning, nice.
