Looks like shit. We'll never get scenes like this.

>>82118586
The characters don't look right, but I really like the lighting.

The adaptation is set in America. 13% of the population is black. It makes sense some of the characters are too. Stop making a big deal out of it.

It doesn't mean L has to be American though. He wasn't Japanese in the original despite it being set there.

>>82118586
Light kinda looks like the kid who would've watch Death Note back in the day.

I unironically look forward to this.

I know people want the literal anime just with real actors, but I've already watched it once, so I want to see a different spin on it.

>>82119287
L would never let his real name be that easily to find.

>>82119179

Well to be fair, the creator says he's 1/4 Jap but Japan just likes doing that for non Japanese characters.

Say what you will, but there's some really great moments in there.

>>82119418
I'm on my first watch of it. L just died.

I heard it gets worse, is that true?

>>82119418

This scene man, makes me tear up a little bit still. Naomi why :(

>>82119476
Yes, very much so. You get "Totally not L" and "edgy blond L" as replacements and neither are nearly as interesting.

>>82119282
kek

>>82119179
No it didn't have to be L per se. Could be Light or any other character. But having it set in America with no black people would feel weird.
Now if they made the entire cast a diversity fest that'd be different but this I don't see anything wrong with.

>>82119476
>I heard it gets worse, is that true?
It gets worse, but no where near as bad as people say. It's not "shit", just mediocre and disappointing. I thought it picked up again towards the end though.
Plus there's still some good moments.

>>82119476
I only learned to appreciate the part after that happens on my second or third watch. It's still good though.

>>82119701
The last episode is still good, it almost redeems the mediocrity of the post-L arc

>>82119701
I'd say the part where the Death Note was in a fucking rocket missile solidified the last section as shit. So out of touch with the tone of the rest of the series

>>82118586

jfc that's some cringe looking shit
series was only good to ep 25 .....this won't even be good to episode 2.

Even worse. On the bright side:

>>82119512
Mikami is honestly the saving grace post-L.

>>82120446
>they will never ruin Jin-roh Wolf Brigade with a shitty adaptation

you're right, thank god.

>>82119701
>just mediocre and disappointing
so in other words shit

>>82120581
If you want to be hyperbolic and/or the only adjectives you know are 'shit' and 'kino', then sure.

>nigger L

nope thank you

>>82120475
DELETE this

>>82120475
lol wut Mikami was stupid

>>82119476
It has its ups and downs.

>>82118586

Will he still ask the police force to call him Ryuzaki? What will he ask them to call him? Are they just gonna call him L all the time?

>>82118586

I'm okay with a black L but is this blackwashing?

>>82119476

Pretty much what >>82119701 said. It's watchable but you'll yearn for L from now on.

>>82119213
It was an alright dub, some are better than others but that's a small number

>>82123732
Considering L was mostly white, yes it is.

>>82119282
This. People need to stop acting like this is some unimpeachable work of art and not just a Japanese comic book that has already been adapted no less than six times..

>>82119028
You have to go back.

>>82119665
>But having it set in America with no black people would feel weird.
no it wouldnt. once you get out of large cities, there are little to no black people

>>82119213

I prefer subs as a rule but DN was one of the better dubs when it was released.

>>82123865

Was he though? No attention was drawn to his choice of being referred to as Ryuzaki. He was likely raised in England but other than that there's no reason to assume he was white.

is death note worth watching/reading

I kinda didn't pay mind to it back when it was big, I feel like it'd be sorta pointless this late in the party

>>82124217

It's amazing. You have to watch it!

>>82124031
You, this singular entity, can confidently make that statement? You must me omnipresent or something, breh!

>>82124217
Dunno about the mangas but it's worth watching even if you're not into jap cartoons

It's a unique story with a unique protagonist and if you like the 'battle of wits' trope even remotely then I guarantee you'll have fun

>>82124217
It's really good. Don't let the memesters and anti-popular faggots here dissuade you.

>>82124217
It's worth the watch. It's unique in that the protagonist is the villain and the antagonist is a hero. Light and L and their rivalry is the beating heart of the show.

I like the "battle of wits" thing but honestly at some points it feels really too artificial and covoluted.
Basically it's just an endless series of
"if he was really Kira he would have expected me to expect him to answer like this, but since he did he must not be Kira!!"
At some point it feels like L could just have made a wild guess or think about it differently and he was sure to catch him

>>82118586
I don't even like anime but how the fuck is that guy supposed to look intellectually intimidating, he looks like he works at a McDonalds or something

Death Note is most 25+ y/o weeb's first "thinking animu/manga".
They spent so much time reading shonen fightan that DN was amazing to them.
"Battle of wits" gets worn out as soon as Yotsuba became a thing. Peaks a little during LaDIES then all shit thereafter.

>>82124217

Overall it's something like a 4-5/10, but the first 12 episodes are 7/10, and it steadily declines from there.

Light and L should switch places, they've already stated this won't be a direct adaptation but rathet an americanized version.
A black Light would unironically be pretty American-hear me out. Light could be a star football player with a perfect gpa seen as the model student of the community. Potray him as secretly spiteful/bored of his life. This transfers the theme of perfect student with potential being corrupted by the supernatural.
Nat Wolf L would have that pale school shooter look, which is the closet you can get to the pale L potrayed in the anime.

Are there any other anime like Death Note?
On one hand I find it interesting, on the other hand I find it autistic how it's just about "creating convoluted rules for having super powers" and then just pushing all the rules of these powers to their limit. It's actually very shallow and cold, in the sense that the whole manga has no theme and is just about technical plot points.
Reminds me in Inception in a way: cool concept, then the whole movie is about building up more advanced concept on this initial concept, up until the point were the characters and irrelevant.

>>82124217
it's a pretty unique story and has it's moments for sure but it's also a product of it's weekly/fortnightly comic format

>>82119213
The dub was actually decent

I'm not going to be a retard and i'll judge it until I see it. still it baffles me how this was perfect for a "anime" netflix thing, like they did with daredevil, but instead chosen to do a movie. dafuq.

>>82126068

I remember when I saw this scene when I was eleven years old and got horny for the first time ever. This brings back good memories. Thank you, anon.

>>82119236

Same. I don't expect it to be good but I had a great experience watching the anime and it'll feel good to revisit the universe no matter how gimped. Hopefully William Dafoe as Ryuk can salvage it. And black L doesn't seem terrible

Its Christian symbolism

John 13:1–17
>14 “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”
Jesus washed his disciples feet and was betrayed by one of them. Such as L was betrayed by Light.

Its showing that L was a genuinely good person who cared for Light as a friend, and how Light was really evil one.

japs are good at squatting becaue they use squat toilets, theyre trained from childhood to squat

americans often cant squat properly because they sit down to shit

>>82125538
Just read Crime and Punishment. Everything of the genre is just a derivative of it and it did it all better.

The protag's name is Rodion Romanovich Raskalnykov, whats not to like.

How the FUCK did this get approved? The squad is a comfortable and natural position for a tall and thin guy and this looks the opposite of that. Were any humans involved with this movie at all?

Wouldn't you have to have an entire huge office of people writing 24/7 to actually keep up with daily criminal activity in the world?

Deathnote sucked dick. Only the fucking dweebs liked that shit in high school. Fucking gigglesquee type bitches. Fuck that. It's literally made for people who like Korn, Evanescence, and Linkedin Park.

Weeb character devopment is weird. Instead of showing them change thru the work, they state a quirk of the character and give that superfluous backstory. Its like Fred's ascot from scooby doo.

>>82128334

Lind L. Taylor

Not that the movie will be great or anything but the black dude playing L is bretty gud. He plays a quirky weirdo guy in Atlanta too, he kinda suits to roles like these.

>>82126291
What did she even fucking mean by that post?

>>82119028
But L is supposed ti be from Britain, wjere 87 percentage of people are white you faggot

>>82119084
This show was great up until L's death.

There's some dumb cringe moments, but the good vs evil becoming ego vs ego and the platonic drying each other off toward the end when they new the end was nigh.

Good show.

Stopped watching after L died
