Oh God, this will be interestingly bad I'm sure XD First a supposed Bleach movie (by Warner Bros. I might add), now a Death Note one...wow...  |

Hm... I wonder how this would go... It'll probably do well since Death Note is popular.  |

while I still have my doubts with the adaptation turning into something epic by Hollywood, I'll most likely see it anyways once in theater......considering the Black is an actual fan of the manga and not just someone who thinks it will sell well(thinking dragonball here), it may actually turn out worth watching |

damn, does this mean the Death Note movie might actually be good? I was really hoping it would be hilariously bad. |

Might be interesting, especially since Black is a fan of the manga himself, like Scrypt said, not like with Dragonball. It's also better filmable than Dragonball I think. Let's hope it turns into somthing that'll give a good image of Death Note to the people unfamiliar with anime. |

I'm sure it will be as good as the Dragonball movie. Live action adaptations are almost always terrible.  |

I think this might be an interesting movie, but it won't be death note. I wish it the best. |
