How is Death Note incorrect? :D

The Japanese live action with the decently CGI'ed Shinigamis is actually pretty fun in a light entertainment kind of way. 

For the same reason, I'd like to watch the Tokyo Ghoul version as well. It's probably just as weirdly cheesy but some times you just need cotton candy for your brain.

No, the Netflix Death Note was amazing.

One of the greatest comedies of the last decade.

I would rather have live action anime films that took horrible, laughable liberties with the material like Death Note to adaptations like FMA and AoT where they tried to mold an Avengers movie out of their pre-existing stories. 

The Bleach film wasn’t horrible, but I can say with all honesty that I had more fun seeing L freak out to an Air Supply song or Light shrieking at Ryuk than the big action set piece at the end with Ichigo & Renji. 

TV dramas have an easier time making for good anime adaptations, but films are like the Wild West for them. They’re either disappointing, surprisingly not terrible, or one of the worst films of all time.

Which one? I liked both the japan and taiwan ones back when I watched them.

Recently I saw the first Kenshin movie which might be my favorite live action adaptation so far if the quality stays consistent. 

I've also always liked the City Hunter movie with Jackie Chan. I liked the Korean TV series a lot but it didn't follow the source material at all, not why they based it on CH.

The ferris wheel scene is the funniest shit.

Bruh, it never suggests you can do hypotheticals.

Impeccable music choices though.

Nat Wolff does such a horrible job at playing a methodical mastermind in the movie. 

The Ferris wheel scene was great because his delivery was less like a puppet master saving his own skin and more like a naggy husband getting fussy when his wife took a lefthand turn when he told her five minutes ago to take a right.

She was much more of a "Kira" than he was but the movie is still structured as if we're supposed to believe this dumbass is a brilliant mastermind.
