Deathnote. Some people told me I might like it and I am watching in preparation for the movie. But eh.

I love the manga but I couldn't watch the anime. I just don't think they changed enough for it to work in that medium. Half the time you might as well still be looking at comic panels for all the movement happening on screen.

I don't know if that's your problem though. You might just not like the story.

It may not have had a lot of movement, but it did have a kickass soundtrack!

I appreciated that the anime was pretty identical to the manga. It's been a long time since I've seen it but I remember loving it. But I guess it's a story that basically develops via talking, since it's psychological and about people plotting against one another. I don't think series should be obligated to have action sequences or whatever just to stir things visually. But on the other hand, I can see how if you're not interested in watching L and Light talk about the smart things they are doing, the series will be boring as fuck.

Oh I'm fine with people sitting around talking. I'm not sure why I came across as wanting action sequences; I get bored with a lot more of those than conversational scenes. I just think there are more interesting ways to show those scenes that take advantage of the change in medium.

This is exactly how I felt about it. Loved the manga, but then I went to watch the anime and was like... this is exactly the same thing I just read, only slower. I mean, I'm sure part of that is personal preference, since I'm someone who'd rather absorb information visually rather than aurally, but it just didn't grab me like the manga did.

LOL I am doing the same right now. Well not in prep for the movie (the movie looks awful) but just because the movie reminded me I never finished Death Note.

It's not even that long of an anime and I feel like it's really slow and I am remembering why I never finished.

BTW if anyone has good anime recs I am looking for some new stuff to watch.

I could never get into it tbh. I had some friends years ago sell it to me as 'the greatest anime ever' but I found it horribly slow and tedious.

Part of me wants to watch the Netflix show just to see what it's like but I also really don't care that much. Might just youtube the interesting bits.

If you're talking about the netflix movie the good news is it will be a much shorter adaptation.

The bad news is it's nothing like the original anime or manga and all the reviews have been consistent in saying so. Even the short clip I saw made it seem nothing like the anime.

I watched a short clip with the death-god thing in it, and that dude looked funky but I can't say I was taken in by the actual human dude.

Hence why I'll probably just stick to youtube rather than watch it all, even two hours seems like it might be too much for me.

And yeah I've seen the complaints about it straying really far from the source material so I can get people's ire if it's really missing the point(can't speak on that myself though as I never watched or read the original DN to know anything about it other than 'has weird death-gods' and that people get murdered by their names being put in a book).

I'm not even much of a fan of Death note but some of the changes they made do seem to miss the point of the story and characters. I think they took out some of the positive aspects that I liked.

The main thing I am curious about is Dafoe as Ryuk (the death-god thing) and I've heard positive reviews for his voice work in the role. I may watch it if I get bored enough but it may also be one of those movies I turn on and then immediately turn off.

nayrt but long-time Death Note fan, and Dafoe as Ryuk is like, as perfect as Robbin Williams as the Genie. Match made in heaven type role.

Everyone else just boggles me a little. They don't seem like they are even trying to recreate the manga characters, just loosely have a cast with similar names.

SA Yeah I definitely think Dafoe works, even in the short clip that was ooc I was like "Okay, that is definitely Ryuk."

Light and L are the problems and I have seen some negative reviews for them, or even people who were fine with them acknowledged how different they are. Light in particular seems a bit WTF to me. He's supposed to be good looking and charming and able to fool others with his looks and intelligence, and IDK what was up with that clip having Ryuk push him to use the death note?

To me you shouldn't even name them Light and L if you're going to change so much.

Aha that's it's name, thanks. :)

And yeah Dafoe doing voice-work for him is what has my interest the most because I liked what I heard of that, I also liked how eerie he looked in the shadows with his eyes glowing out from the dark.

Yeah the way they made Ryuk look works. I think they just put all their effort for the film into Ryuk and no one else lol.

Yeah, the plot just isn't something I can get into. :(

Yup, feel you on that one.
