Great, now they will adapt the whole genre of anime in live action movies ffs. That isn't even the problem, but the adaptations are terribly bad. At least try cosplaying the actors into the characters they portray, for a change.

What the hell? Didn't even know Jigoku Shoujo had a manga, thought it was anime original project. Highly doubt it will sell at all, but it should make for a good meme at the very least...

Wow this is actually nice. Could be enjoyable as watching death note live action.

Another one? Well it's a movie this time. And being a new movie, it might have better production value than the TV drama. I hope it does well...
