Death Note is a hugely popular anime series. It may have started out as manga and then Japan adapted it into an anime series. Even after those successes, Japan added another film version with a sequel. (not as popular, not as good).
Now America wants in.
Early review: This is going to be bad. So very very bad. The best character is one that a mainstream American audience will not understand because he embodies Japanese legends, etc. Interested? Watch the anime series. Keep in mind, however, that most anime series have a powerful let-down ending that doesn't resolve anything. This one just gets really strange halfway through (and when the best character leaves, so does my interest). I'll put links up under video if I find a good translation.
Here's the article claiming the disaster in the making. Read and respond.
