Ryuk Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Are the rumours true that they are indeed making a new TV series with all new cast and location? I heard its set after 'vision's of a god' where ryuk tells another shimigami about his story of being in the human world and at the end you see the shimigami leave?.....
Supergrunch Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (I've not heard about this, but it's shinigami not shimigami - the verb "die" is shinu)
Shorty Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 But a shimigami the god of the Shimmy. (No, I hadn't heard that they were making a live action series after Death Note, but lets be honest, the live action movies were pretty dire in comparison to the anime, which was pretty lacking compared to the manga, so it's not looking good.)
Ryuk Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 tbh I think the thing that helpped the anime was the music, it kept the suspence alive, like when L would plan somthing or be talking about the case his music would start and you knew the case was being talked about, you didn't have that in the live action films.. I also thought the CGI for ryuk and rem weren't at all impressive it felt cheap. The sequails to the anime I think if true is 50/50 for me it depends who writes them, if its the same guy then the % would incress I think for being good. but it's shinigami not shimigami - the verb "die" is shinu) Thanks

I actually preferred the ending of the films ever so slightly to what happened in the middle of the manga, but otherwise they weren't nearly as good. And I've not seen that much of the anime, but it seems pretty identical to the manga.
Shorty Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I And I've not seen that much of the anime, but it seems pretty identical to the manga. It is, up until the half way point at which they cover about a dozen manga chapters in a 5 minute montage.
Guy Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 The manga is fantastic, the anime goes a bit mental after a certain character goes on a permanent vacation. Fantastic production values though, well worth your time and money. I have the live action movies on the list, but it's a very long list and I'm working my way through it ever so slowly.
Ryuk Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Long list? theres only 3 live action films?
Guy Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Long list? theres only 3 live action films? List of movies to watch, dude.

Ashley Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Yes indeed with some...one recently hired to direct...or write. Whatever. Personally I hated the films. Or I hated the first 30 minutes of the first one and never tried again.
Kav Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I've got the manga, watched the anime, couldn't sit through the live action movies (they're just awful when compared to the manga/anime) and also have Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases which is the story of the case where L worked with Naomi Misora (this is pretty awesome too). I love Death Note!
