Death Note getting panned by critics

None of the characters look or act like their anime counterparts. They just share the same names.

Anime is dead.

Grace likes it

Hopefully

>anigay

but is anyone other than /v/edditors who beg for these to be made surprised?

>>86733165
whats the point of making the exact same thing just live action. clearly you are too stupid to understand that already exists and that its pointless

>>86733666
what's the point in completely changing everything so much that it goes against the concept of what it's adapting? and not for the better

press S to spit on its grave

>>86733753
Changing the characters appearance doesnt go against the concept of what its adapting. You dont know anything else besides that because it isnt out yet

>>86733666
Don't adapt is then, Satan

>>86733823
The trailer gave away enough that is is pure ARSE, fuck off Netflix shill

>>86733834
I'm just saying a good adaptation isnt just a superficial translation of one medium to another. Especially since death note already has live action movies like that. People have been adapting shakespeare into dozens of movies, radio dramas, plays obviously, novelizations, because the director or creator or whatever changes it in ways to make the adaptation unique. a robot could do the job most plebs think the point of an adaptation is

>>86733823
lol it has nothing to do with appearance you retard. they literally changed the three main characters into things that they are not. Light is now a dumb edgy teenager who just happened to get the book. his girlfriend is now an edgy cheerleader who acts like a bitch and smokes. L is now an activist who acts like a clown.

anime is just not meant to be adapted. it does not translate well.

>>86733113
>What went wrong?

>>86733823
The characters don't share any of the same character traits either. You would know that if you even bothered to watch the trailer.

>>86733666
Because Japan did a good live action version

>>86733995
Death note doesnt have a concept. It has no theme or deeper level of thought put into it, you can read about how the author admits this on wikipedia. What you consider the "concept" of death note is just your plebbit brain trying to discern depth when it doesnt exist. Anyways my point is just this >>86733959

>>86733113
Congress should pass a law making it illegal for Hollywood to make live-action adaptations of anime and vidyas.

>>86734124
Why is it good? because its exactly the same? thats just retarded. you plebs are too retarded to understand what a good adaptation is. it should never be the same. the japanese death note movies are just absolutely pure cash grabs very similar to the 20th century boys movies

>>86733113
African L for one. Negro L in death note, like seriously, why did they think it was a good idea to go full chocoLate with the character? Monkey L has no place in this series, nor ever will. Sick of these bLacks ruining franchises.

>ISIS leaders

Shit I mean the movie probably has some line about how just killing an ISIS leader wouldn't do any good. But wouldn't the Death Note be like the ideal method of targeting terrorist leaders? If you can get a substantial list of names, you could get something accomplished. Confirmed kills of even the most elusive members of the organization, with zero collateral damage so no innocent deaths can be used for propaganda purposes. That's the closest I can think of to a method for efficiently dismantling a terrorist organization. A Death Note adaptation about Light waging a secret war on ISIS would be inherently retarded, but there's absolutely no justifiable reason for him not to do so.

Western media literally cannot comprehend what makes anime/manga popular so they butcher it in the adaptations every single time.

You're seriously confused at a good anime not being panned? Are you this retarded good sir?

>>86735647
tbqh I would have rather have the original series end with Misa backstabbing Light for using her rather than him losing to L's slightly more autistic clone.

Remember when we waited until the film was out before we judged it? No? Oh, sorry, I must be in the brainlet general.

>>86735549
Like how would it affect ISIS as an organization and ideological entity if you had all of its major leaders and members suddenly start committing suicide? That would both decapitate the organization and totally deflate its ideological strength. You can make someone commit suicide with the Death Note, right?

Why the hell do they keep doing this? Do they honestly think they know what's popular and appealing for the audiences when they decide to adapt a franchise that was popular before they even knew about it? What's the point of even getting the rights if it's just going to be unrecognizable?

Do Western corporations believe people want to see their mistaken interpretation of an established franchise, attempting to be as unfaithful to the original as possible? They should just make OC content inspired by that work instead of claiming it's a faithful adaptation of the anime or manga.

Thankfully Death Note needs no movies. It's perfect the way it is. Leave it and move on to other things.

i will never understand, its basically a live action show already.
you can adapt it scene for scene and have a hit show.

localization to murrica doesnt change anything. ryuk can still be a shinigami, all you need is a scene where he says "ye im shinigami m8, like from japan, google it nerd"

>>86733666

What?

How could you use the death note to make yourself rich?

>>86734967
They are making Light a dindu, aren't they?

>>86736804
I thought I was the only one. I hate the ''part 2'' of death note, after L dies. The last few episodes (never read the manga) are better since it picks up the pace but the near and mello character feel like filler, going at snails pace.

The second arc should have had light actually becoming the next L properly, not that stupid shit, and there is another, possibly even worse villain with another death note and so on..

>>86736804
I like the way anime ended and how death of L affected Light personally and how it allowed him to basicaly take over.

Near and Mello are half the characters that L was and I think that's the point. It was even mentioned at least once. L's absence is felt and it shows how effective he was. Everybody in the show and the viewers miss him. I like it.

>>86736881
No, they're making L a nigger. Light is a white supremacist.

>>86733113
What a joke, Death note is literally the easiest thing to adapt. It's should be fucking impossible to fuck up.

>>86736227
At first yes, but he's the villain of the story. Different people stop rooting for him at certain points (FBI agent, Mello, etc.)

>>86736905
I wondered why they never adapted the Beyond Birthday novel. Probably because there's no manga but I thought that because DN was so popular they would try to make more.

>>86735549
The leaders who just start using fake names or hiding themselves more. They're dumb but not THAT dumb.

>>86736963
It's basically a tv series and they made a feature film. Usually it's the other way. This way they basically create an abridged version.

>>86736905
the second half is sloppy
the strength of the series is it's original premise and first couple of arcs, unfortunately that's how most manga series end up as the authors have to produce a new chapter every week and get burnt out too quickly or just end up writing endless filler chapters

>Is this the end of shitty Western adaptations of Japanese source material?

>>86736954
>Near and Mello are half the characters that L was
It never felt that way. To me Mello was a borderline non character that does nothing except explode himself and die while Near was a bad L rip-off with different autistic quirks.

>>86737090
The anime version makes the last arc shorter. There's something I like about the pacing of that arc but of course I prefer the first two ones.
And Near grew on me. Especially by the end.

>>86734254
I think the Jap version is a good adaptation based on how they changed the ending alone.

Everyone agrees the 2nd half is alot weaker in deathnote. The movie does the Genius move of L writing his own name in the deathnote and have him catch Light in the end. Not only does the ending suprise even those who read the manga or watched the anime but by omnitting N and choco fag it streamlined the story and put the focus on what really mattered in deathnote and that was L vs Light.

I agree that an "american version" of deathnote totally could have been adapted, because the premise of having a book that could kill anyone so long as you have the name and face in mind has potential.

What it should have been a prequel story that follows Ryuk testing the deathnote on people before to allow them creative freedom to do what they want.

>>86736227
Light was evil as shit. He painted himself as some sort of well-intentioned god out to bring justice to the world but by the end it should be obvious that he was just a crazy magalomaniac with a healthy dose of autism.

>>86737090
I believe that almost every franchise goes to shit eventually. Be it books, movies or anime. They just don't know when the fuck to leave it alone. Alien: Covenant comes to mind.

>>86736173
Kill yourself for thinking entry level is any kind of criticism. Bet you felt clever writing that trash of a post.

>>86736665
You need to know the person's full first and last name as well as what they look like, explicitly to prevent shit like that.

>>86737153
Mello somehow knew that Takada's capture will eventually lead to Kira's downfall. I'm currently reading someone's post explaining this.

>>86737012
I ended up rooting for him because I ended up disliking that little shit Near even more.

>>86736869
write down that the person you are going to kill will drop off the money at a specific place and keep it safe with a passcode or a key that they mail to you or something, then a few days later, kill them however

Who's dick did Adam Wingard suck? Godzilla vs Kong, Death Note, Blair Witch, and I saw the Devil?

WHAT THE FUCK??

>>86737163
yeah I re-read the manga not too long ago and I think the anime handled the second half much better
>>86737184
in cases like this it's usually the editors that urge an author to continue if the series is still popular, luckily they did have the sense to end it on an appropriate note

>>86737078
I mean if you orchestrate the deaths to be "suicide by hanging", "accidental weapon discharge", "accidental fall", "massive stroke", then they wouldn't necessarily have reason to believe they're being targeted by a human agent. If anything all their leaders dying random arbitrary deaths might make these superstitious people doubt that God is really on their side. From the trailer screencap though it looks like Light is just having them blow up for some reason.

>>86737335
It's not too late to change the director.
Honestly Monsterverse movies are ok but the studio actually has a plan and they've already done some worldbuilding around the universe. They should at least choose competent directors.

>>86735961
Delete this.

>>86737382
They believe in shit like the west or Israel having mind control drugs and shit so I wouldn't put it past them at all. If you want to convince them it's an act of allah you gotta have lightning strike them but the note can't do that.

>>86737304
You can't force someone to do something that they wouldn't do normally that isn't directly connected to their death.
You could pull it off but you'd need to really game the shit out of the death note.

The only reason why Light beat L was because L had no chance of knowing about the fake rules.
I really like the premise of the story. A killer who leaves no traces vs. detective who's never been seen by anyone. Japs have imagination.

>>86737515
>You can't force someone to do something that they wouldn't do normally that isn't directly connected to their death
I don't remember that rule. I only remember that they couldn't do shit that was physically impossible for them like hanging themselves in Australia at 12pm when it's 11pm and they are in the USA.

No, it is the characterization. Light isn't some fucking high school reject with the potential for a Columbine, he's a Chad who is super smart and arrogant.

The trailers and sneak peaks I saw completely changed Light's character. Same with Ryuk, who had the most potential in this whole mess.

He doesn't sound bored, he doesn't sound chill or amused. In the trailers he sounded malicious and crafty.

Where's the
>I found 132 cameras, now give me apples

I don't care that L is black. What I do care is that they picked the wrong black actor. He is way too aggressive and not autistic enough, and L never covered his face.

If they butcher the characters so much in just trailers, the show is likely full of shit writing and characterization

Death Note is only an 8/10 anime at the beginning and slides down to a 6/10 after a certain character dies. But the Netflix adaptation is apparently lower than 2/5

Also, sounds like no good music either. What a shame.

No knowledge of Japanese culture or other anime titles is needed. It's easy for anyone to pick up and enjoy and requires no further investment after watching.

"Deep" anime isn't Death Note.

I don't know what you mean by deep. Do you mean with symbolism and writing depth that has more meaning? Or do you mean on the surface-level "not mainstream anime" type deep?

Evangelion could be considered to have deep meaning and some symbolism but is almost as mainstream as Cowboy Bebop. Mushi-shi can be somewhat surface level on a first viewing (there's magical bugs and MC travels to help different villages with their magic bug problems is the gist of every episode), but isn't really mainstream Adult Swim material
>>86737962
Depends on your personal preference for 10/10. Some 9/10 I like are Mushi-shi, Space Dandy, Natsume's Book of Friends, Nichijou, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Kino's Journey...

I think there's also something said about all humans having the capacity for suicide, which is why you can make them kill themselves, but its weird about what you can influence them to do that isn't a direct cause of their death.

I'll never understand idiots like you. You're the reason brand recognition is king, because you'll see literally anything as long as it has a name slapped onto it you recognize.

If it can't be properly adapted, anime should be used for INSPIRATION for plotlines, not directly copied. Randomly inserting new ideas into what was a formed storyline causes all manner of fuck up or just embarrassing results like DragonBall: High School Edition

It's so odd though - Death Note appeared in some magazine for 8 year olds, but it's a very dark story that deals with more mature themes.
Maybe Japan is different, but you wouldn't get anything like that in the West, in a kid's magazine anyway.

>and honestly it's vague as shit.
That's the death note rules in general. One of the rules is that even the shinigami don't know all the conditions of the rules. Light surprises ryuk a few times.
In general though the death note limits collateral damage that would harm innocents (people not named in the death note). So if you wrote the cause of death as "suicide bombing in busy mall" or "suicide by cop after mass shooting" the person would just die of a heart attack.
The only time I remember him having people do something out of character with the note was when he made a couple of guys write suicide notes that had a "code" for L to discover.

>>86739661
>>86739877
Japanese manga in general can be pretty dark and still appear in a magazine targeted to children.
As long as there is no nudity or sex I'm pretty sure they can get away with a lot of shit, specially because they know most of the readers of this magazine for children are actually adults.

Not him but I didn't. If someone tells me "watch this anime there is a note book that kills people" I would have gone "okay..." and never watch it.

Death Note was presented to me like this by my friends "You know how our country is a joke and criminals are released within a week? Well in this anime the protagonist finds a book that can kill people, and he uses it to enable justice on the world. It's pretty fun", and so, I watched it because I hated criminals and wanted to kill them, I still do honestly.

Anyway, in retrospective. Death Note was a shit anime and I had shit taste back then, but then again I was a literal senior finishing High school so still a kid.

Some would say it's immature in the handling of its themes. You don't have to be a "kids show" to mishandle "mature" topics.

Not even a little. There's a reason the average person doesn't watch anime.

>>86741711
>They can't take anything animated seriously
There's a reason for it. For all it's mature ideas, themes and writings, anime suffers from having to pander to literal children and perverts, dragging the entire medium to the shithole.

Even then, most people miss out on Death Note's true appeal ("serious comedy") in favor of "dude good vs evil lmao". Reading Bakuman should be a necessity in order to move on.

Anime doesn't pander, most of it is not made for children (and even the children's anime is much more sophisticated and mature than children's animation in America), and it's a indefensible double standard to call anime fans perverts for looking at sexual content while completely excusing any and all sexual content in Western media.

People don't take animation seriously because that's how they've been conditioned by American animation. Though in recent times there have also been a lot of memes against anime which have further added to the problem.

>>86742768
