    A Tribute to Death Note: Fans will be Elated!!!

    Wow! & Amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed the short. Extremely surprised at cost to produce as this looks like a big budget film. Fantastic job on the cinematography. I could tell a lot of hard work and dedication went into this.

    Any fan of Death Note will be pleased.

    Excellent version to represent the Death Note story

    This anime has been made multiple times and certainly has a robust following. In less than 10 minutes, the makers of this film manage to share a more authentic recreation than has been done before. While this is not on a huge Hollywood budget, the proper sentiment is there and I was thoroughly entertained and drawn into the story throughout the film. I cannot wait to see what other anime projects this team puts out the the future. Go watch!

    In 9 minutes they made a short film that does justice for true ANIME fans

    I did a double take when I was told the budget was less than 5k. The backstory is just as good as the film. Young director given a chance and does as good a job as can be done with a small budget. Its a live action remake, so have realistic expectations, but it exceeded all expectations. I look forward to following Mr. Shaw as he continues on his path.
