Aside from a great performance by renowned actor Willem Defoe, the rest of the movie’s characters were changed, whether it be the way they looked or the motivations for their actions. The live-action animation of Death Note produced by Netflix, unfortunately, turned into the laughing stock of the anime community at the time of its release, as the majority of those that watched it noticed how unfaithful it was to the source material. One common denominator for these successful adaptations is that they are produced and directed by Japanese companies which nail the atmosphere of the movies they create. Although there are a few adaptations such as Gintama and Rurouni Kenshin that are actually great well-received movies, most end up failing miserably at emulating the narrative, or even completely missing the mark. Look no further than their 2017 live-action anime adaptation of beloved Death Note and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
