Death Note: Desu nôto

I really like this live action mini series version of Death Note. It is a very engrossing story and has a much better pace than the anime series. The anime started out as a masterpiece and then drug on and on forever with a tedious conclusion. This is a reworking of the original and I actually like the live action story tweaks a lot. Light is also much more likable instead of a genius egomaniac. I also found the L character to be very likable and smartly played by the actor. Misa is also less annoying. Some fans of the anime have commented on the changes that were made. I think they were definitely for the better. About the only place I have been able to find this series is on Crunchyroll.

Different from the comics, but it was still good as a drama

It was so good.the actors of light and L were great.the music was great.It was a little different from anime but It did'nt ruin it.

Death Note TV Series is based on the popular Manga of the same name. This is not the first time we've seen a live adaptation of the manga as there were three movies released in Japan and later released in America with English Voice overs from the original cast of the Anime! Although these movies were great, I feel there's only so much that can be done when you're restricted to the time-frame of a film. The TV Series has the potential to flesh out the story with a steady pace so it wont feel rushed and it leaves the door open for proper character development as each episode is around fifty minutes long! So far the TV show has shown some new twists on the established story that follows Light Yagami (Kira) and thats not a bad thing! I've read the manga, watched the anime, and seen the films and I am excited to see where the TV version will take it!

After seeing the disastrous Death Note 2017 Netflix adaptation, it's clear that they completely butchered it. However, Death Note 2015 (the 11-episode drama) is a whole different story. This series is as close to the original as it gets, and honestly, I think it even improves on it in some areas.

The drama made some smart adjustments, tweaking Light and L's attitudes while keeping the other characters faithful to the original. The plot got some key changes, but ultimately, it leads to the same outcome. It's brilliant, making subtle fixes that really work. The tension is palpable, and the music is spot on. The cast also did an amazing job, with every character looking just right.

I was hooked from the first episode, which pulled me in and had me binge-watching it in no time.

I won't say more to avoid spoilers, but if you're a Death Note fan, this is absolutely a must-watch.

9.5/10.
