This is a bit of an odd thread, because it verges with /tv/ in

- Death Note was bad to begin with
- Anime adaptions of manga are generally inferior
- Japanese live action adaptions of manga are generally inferior
- Hollywood adaptions of anything are generally inferior
I'm sure this will be great

DN is considerably better than 3/4 of the shit that are being discussed in their own threads at this moment

I think if you want to write your Americanized, nigger infested Death Note fanfic there are many websites on which to post it on, but raping a preexisting series and especially trying to make money off it is simply revolting

Making a local adaptation of a show just tends to go poorly most of the time anyway (see: The Inbetweeners, Top Gear). I think it is a symptom of American television producers in general to change things unnecessarily to localize what doesn't need to change.

You're just trying to infect other stuff with Hollywood bullshit. It doesn't matter how many words you use to try to talk around it.

It's because of how unnecesary it is (as you said, there is already a TV show that follows the manga pretty well, two fucking novels, FOUR movies) and how Netflix productions are usually pandering to "innovative" audiences while being usually creatively bankrupt. This leads to the anime adaptation not being something of artistic interest or value, thus an interesting viewpoint or perspective, but a product of controversy for a cheap buck.

Also, Light is supposed to be an adonis.

By the way, I don't remember anyone complaining when Benicio del Toro made Pacific Rim and then announced the negociations to make Monster for the HBO.

Nigger Note is the biggest form of blackwashing in the recent years. It's almost insulting in how obvious it is. Take a character that's knows for a few things (sickly pale look, shut in genius, sociable and strong when he needs to be) and strip them from him and make him a stereotypical streetwise black guy. The fact that they make him black demonstrates that they are only doing that to take a few bucks from blacks and BLACKED fans, otherwise they should just go all the way and make him latino or flip.

t. a smaller, more repressed minority than nigs

They just can't fathom that it could be good. That's it. And I honestly hope they all get proven wrong.

Then there is the shitheaded minority of people that want to keep anime all to themselves. Fuck those people.

How about the Japanese TV drama thing? Is it any good?

>I'm curious as to what your perspectives are on the future of western live-action adaptations, whether the new Death Note will be good, and even what your thoughts were on the new GitS.

I think most people don't have a problem with western adaptations as long as they aren't shit.
Edge of Tommorow was a fantastic adaptation. IMO it was even better than the original.
GitS wasn't total shit. It was just disappointing and the whole "muh corporate badguys" plot felt really forced.
Death Note could be adapted fine. It just looks bad from the trailer and the casting. And no I'm not complaining about whitewashing, it's more that the messy-haired pale european with dark circles under his eyes who doesn't wear shoes is being played by a shaved black man wearing boots.

Too bad mods in /a/ didnt knew what is live action

>>156701924
Arkada?

It brings the story of Death Note to a wider audience. While the characters and plot may change, the theme and story is still there. Light will get a book, he'll kill people, rivalry between Light and L and then a conclusion, which is identical to what happens in the manga, anime and the five thousand other live action adaptations.
Adapting the characters identically as they are seen in the anime would be a huge mistake, as you can't really translate an anime artstyle over to real life. If Netflix were to adapt the death note series into a live action 1:1 then it WOULD be an unnecessary adaptation because it would serve no purpose other than a different take on the anime.
With what netflix is doing, the adaptation has a purpose which is to take great storytelling (which death note really is) and adapt in a way that can be enjoyed by everyone.

That's not setting the bar very high. There's no good anime this season.
