Dekeyzer Elza Sep 21 2018 11:17 am Masahiro Higashide ? Hot Papa!!!

amis Sep 02 2018 10:17 am I read the manga when it first came out and personally think that it's one of the best manga out there. This movie is not bad on its own merits (like the ones before it), if one does not compare it to the source material.

What I didn't like was Higashide Masahiro's acting, which was yawn-inducing. What I liked was Amane Misa, and Toda Erika's understated portrayal of her deep love for Light. It was touching in a way that even the original Misa's wasn't.

Contoh Puisi Jul 27 2018 11:03 pm I like the part when confrontation begins between the person who wants Kira’s revival and the people who want to stop it..

Its surprising me.. :P

Precuw Apr 23 2017 4:13 am I need 'N' ! ! !

William Vu Mar 24 2017 4:48 pm I saw the teaser for Death Note, an American remake of Japanese manga or film. I can't wait to see this on Netflix. But which is starred Nat Wolff, Keith Stanfield, Margaret Qualley, Shea Whigham, Willem Dafoe and Masi Oka. It will be coming out this August 2017!!!

giraffuru Mar 24 2017 2:26 pm wonder when will 'near' appear

ronaldo caniggia Feb 08 2017 7:07 pm Death Note holds a very special place in my heart, given that it was the first manga series that I ever read and properly got stuck into. It ended up inflaming my love for intricate battles of wits and cat-and-mouse shenanigans, all mixed up with some of the most iconic characters in the medium. Love It!

wahib Jan 26 2017 1:00 pm I love this film, especially in the role l Quintha Matsuyama loved very Tmthelh and his death saddened me and I put my picture on my mobile and I hope to introduce the Arabic channel and I'm from Algeria My name wahiba

Rok Celana Akhwat Dec 06 2016 4:35 pm OMG I'm so glad they put Kenichi Matsuyama in the movie again (though his character's dead) thank you now I can't wait to watch it on the cinema soon! >•<

kira Dec 03 2016 5:43 pm all those criminals should die ~kira

panther-strife Nov 25 2016 5:25 pm Does anyone know when this movie will be released in the United States?

FeKimi Nov 23 2016 8:03 pm Watched it last night! And, it was pretty awesome with the twist at the end! Although it's not as smart as the predensor and less charismatic character, this Death Note will bring you to a nostalgic and thrilling journey.

I'm in love with Masaki Suda's acting but it's Masahiro Higashide's expression that still haunting me until now \>o</

ilham Nov 23 2016 2:13 am I hope this movie will be good

Namae Oct 19 2016 3:11 am Sasuga masaki suda-san..

ijika Oct 16 2016 5:18 pm oh god... miyuki sawashiro too... she's my favorite voice actress

Llama Oct 11 2016 5:40 pm OMG I'm so glad they put Kenichi Matsuyama in the movie again (though his character's dead) thank you now I can't wait to watch it on the cinema soon! >•<

gopena Oct 05 2016 1:17 am I've been long waiting for this, I want to watch Mrs.Rina Kawaei :)

Keniko Oct 01 2016 10:03 am On the one hand I can't wait for this but on the other hand L and Light are death so? idk what I'm gonna do!?

@Miyushi When is that coming out? is it going to be part of the movie, like an extra?

yahoo Sep 30 2016 9:08 am After watching the teaser, I can't wait to see this sequel(?) Too bad this movie will be released global 6 months after it released on Japan. But I will wait patiently~ fufufufu >_<

yoz Sep 20 2016 1:09 pm Looks freakin awesomeeee!

Miyushi Sep 17 2016 6:28 pm @Wulan D

Near is confirmed to appear in the second episode of the mini series which bridges the cap between the previous movies and Light up the new world.

Wulan D Sep 16 2016 8:54 pm why isnt Near (in Death Note: L Change The World) appeared in this movie btw? isnt he supposed to be the next generation of L?

fath Sep 05 2016 6:40 am can't wait for this movie because there is higashide masahiro :3

tadaiki Aug 31 2016 9:50 pm quick question , can somebody bother to explain why L and Light not here ? is it perhaps because they are dead and this is like a continue to the drama or whatever ?

[K] Aug 01 2016 2:57 am I've just finished watching all related titles.

I'm so excited for this because Erika Toda is back as Amane Misa. The 2015 series was good. It's where I saw the trailer from. With Erika Toda on this and thinking that there are 6 Death Notes (? not sure.), this would be a Death Note battle in a style of Liar Game.

Kawaii Jul 23 2016 11:14 am Can't wait to see Mina in this movie..

Wulan Jul 12 2016 8:08 am Masahiro, he is so handsome. Can't wait to see him again so soon :)

KimTaehyungNear Jul 03 2016 8:17 am I am so excited for this new Death Note film! I think America is going to 100% ruin their chances with their remakes though. Regardless, THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE AMAZING!!! I wonder if thie Ryuzaki has any connection to Beyond Birthday

Roger Jun 30 2016 9:00 pm And Hollywood is ruining Death Note series by casting black people to play as L. Beware the other Dragon Ball Evolution is coming to you!!!

Keniko Jun 29 2016 6:57 am Oh my Kira, I can't wait for this! If 'Ryuzaki' turns out to be Beyond I will freak out!

Alwib Jun 09 2016 8:06 pm I'm so gonna watch this movie XD

urusandunia Jun 08 2016 9:14 pm whoah new film, i remember first time i read death note book, it was 6 years ago

Mateus May 21 2016 1:03 pm @Yumi just watch L Changes the World, and you'll that is possible!

Masaki Fan! May 17 2016 8:06 am I hope they release this in Singapore! I wanna watch this movie because Suda Masaki is in the movie!

Kansa May 16 2016 1:53 pm in" L saves the world" L says in the end that he doesnt want to die..yet.... i was so hoping he finds a way to figure out how to escape the book.. and that hes still alive!!! i dont want a new investigator i want L back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryuzaki Lawliet May 15 2016 4:45 am ahhhhh... when will be the movie release here in the philippines??

K Lawliet May 14 2016 7:45 am @Death Note Fan 193 oMG MAYBE HE IS

Death Note Fan 193 May 13 2016 8:32 pm This new successor is named Ryuzaki, and has black hair. And wears black, too. Could this possibly be Beyond Birthday?

Lana algensety May 13 2016 7:20 am I like this movie, and the way of L thinking

Anime_girl gamer101 Apr 30 2016 11:27 am Please tell me Near is the new Ryuzaki I am so not going to be amused if he isn't does anybody know?

shoujo fannatic Apr 28 2016 5:22 am Omfg! FUJI MINA?! I'm so gonna watch this XD

genki-escapist Apr 27 2016 8:48 am Erika AND Mina??? Sign me up!!

jyuk Apr 26 2016 4:44 am hahaha look at all my favourite otakus

Kira

sudaaa Apr 24 2016 2:30 pm Masaki Sudaaaaaaa.....!!!!!

rhylle Apr 22 2016 12:29 am I'm so excited for this...

Hugo Apr 20 2016 1:40 am Woah, I'm getting excited to watch this movie! I think is is much more astounding!

Watashi wa Kira desu Apr 11 2016 8:02 pm @Juergen The girl in the end of the manga wasn't Sayu, it was just some random follower.

Thisonedude Apr 09 2016 7:49 pm @Juergen this movie is a continuation from the previous live action movies which if you have seen you'll know that the story in them is different from the manga

chou Apr 06 2016 6:04 am WOW~ the casts are just great! Love to see Erika-chan as Misa again! yay!

stupid death note user Apr 01 2016 3:49 pm if death note dropped by shinigami at 6 country, how can ryuzaki knows who use death note ? and why death note user always write only the name -_- even the first kira is not smart inaf to think about it. matsuda and 6 others investigators who experienced the Kira case of 10 years ago investigate this case again ? it will be funny if one of them are not die here.

Juergen Mar 21 2016 1:40 am I hope I can see Light little sister again (Mitsushima Hikari) because in the end of manga she become the leader of something like a kira religion, sorry if spoiler #Lol

maybe she will become a key in this movie.

Kurisu Mar 15 2016 8:56 am Misamisa is there! yay!!!

Yumi Mar 15 2016 12:26 am Oh man, I'm going to watch it...but I just hope it won't disappoint. Making a sequel to a movie THAT GOOD is incredibly hard.

Santai Saja Mar 13 2016 8:48 pm This is my favorite film.

Alucard Mar 13 2016 1:18 am Some movies you want to see bad guy punished he goes free and were a bad guy should escape he dies, I am sick of those plot, I loved death note anime but the end was not to my liking, but still a lot of people like it, so I can't complain it's bad because the ending was not to my liking......

franbergh Mar 10 2016 6:11 am yeay! since death note goes live action, i've been in love with matsuyama's L and erika toda's Misa. it seems impossible to see matsuyama as L again since he died in the 2nd movie, but im really happy to hear erika toda return as Misa :D

Joonbeege Mar 09 2016 9:19 pm Looking forward to see Misa Misa again in the big screen ne~~~ ^w^

k lawliet Mar 09 2016 4:08 pm Omg!!!! Erika Toda as Misa again!!! I'm so excited!!! I wish Kenichi at Tatsuya will make a cameo too :(

Zen Mar 09 2016 5:38 am Now I'm more excited with Erika Toda being in the movie again!! Lots of great cast though

Fifi Mar 08 2016 8:36 pm Whoaa.. Erika will be back as Misamisa. Yatta~~ Can't wait

Shine Feb 29 2016 7:29 am Tsukuru Mishima: Investigator; Ryuuzaki: L's successor; Yuuki Shien: Kira's successor

simply a newbie Feb 28 2016 2:02 am Seems like this film confused many people. Yes, Light and L has died, and probably Near too because the 'L' title now is being held by Ryuzaki (a new character played by Ikematsu, not the alias used by the Lawliet we knew), unless in the 2006 movie universe Near (a Thai boy) is not L's successor. And one of the protagonists, Tsukuru, is an entirely new character unrelated to Light (his last name is Mishima instead of Yagami or Amane). He's described as "those who inherited the DNA of L and Light" together with Ryuzaki, but I think it is the production team's way to describe their intelligence and passion for justice, which are similar to L and Light's. The teaser shows Fujiwara and Matsuyama because it uses clips from 2006 DN movie. It was aired months ago before the casting even begin, so of course the actors here made no appearances. It simply an announcement that a new DN film is about to be made as a continuation to the 2006 film. Sorry for long explanation.

River Feb 28 2016 12:36 am This doesn't make any sense because the description is talking about a successor to L named "Ryuzaki", although Near is the successor to L, not Ryuzaki, the alias that L went by, and I know L wouldn't be stupid enough to tell other people the name of his associates.... So, is there a completely different storyline in the movies (I've only seen the first one)? And also Light was in the trailer and he died at the end of the story... but I don't understand Japanese so it could have been a flashback.

Alulikbar Feb 19 2016 10:14 am So exited about this new movie!!!!! Yuhuuuuu I can't wait anymore! The story looked interesting, the cast tho wiiiii

meh Feb 14 2016 10:34 am there is a lot of mangas if you dig in the "japanese manga history" but why they keep digging death note. they should stop when they make the last name, so we can burry it into our mind as one of a good live action.

gis8 Feb 09 2016 10:01 pm Masaki Suda will be the owner this time?? I wanna see this xD Hope this will turn out good

KOKO Feb 07 2016 7:21 am OMG, Masahiro, Suda, and Sosuke !!!

precious Feb 06 2016 4:18 am Yay! looking forward yes, Suda and Ikematsu this time..

Daychan Feb 05 2016 4:36 am I'm glad it's continuation and not a remake. I can see something new. I could expect another shinigami and lv. 9999 psycopath book owner (when I read six books I'm literally laughing XD). and we've got some great cast here. MASAKI SUDA! <3 I'm so waiting for this movie.

James Hilton Jan 29 2016 1:28 am At least it's a continuation and not another remake. As much as I love the death note story you can only retell it so many times. I mean we have the manga, the anime, the movie, the musical, the TV drama, and now an American remake in the works

soda aoi Jan 12 2016 7:28 am wonder why nippon like to milking their own franchise to the ground

lol Dec 31 2015 11:15 am really? the original actors? . . wait. L and Light died right? then who is the characters?

Near Dec 25 2015 7:36 am I wonder if i will be in this one....?

Andhika Death Note Dec 20 2015 9:53 pm I must see this movie.

If they know, the death note was found by us

mimi Dec 15 2015 7:03 am YEEEEES the main characters will be performed by the original actors~ <3 They look a lot more like them and they know how to portray their personalities better so I am happy and excited to see this

Near Dec 06 2015 11:52 am Kenichi's voice changed alot

arvin g Oct 22 2015 4:17 am I wonder who owns those 6 death notes. Since L had destroyed the notes which dropped by ryuk and shinigami jealous which owned by misa amane. Iam excited to see this film again

Keniko Oct 12 2015 7:16 pm The new movie sounds awesome, but I honestly feel like I've heard of it before. I swear as I was reading I could remember the description word for word.

meluluu Sep 28 2015 7:30 am I'm an avid fan of Death note and I've watched all the movies. Just finished watching the 2015 adaptaion though and looking forward to 2016. The actors are great, more powers and ganbatte ne!

Panda Sep 26 2015 3:19 pm wth, i watched the 2015 live action drama...L wasn't gay. but the duo personality mello was pissing me off, that voice was annoying, but the drama itself was awesome, mainly because i didn't watch the anime past episode 1 so i had no idea what the story should be so i enjoyed it fully. i wish the guy who played Light Yagami was in this one too, oh well.

noxu Sep 25 2015 9:44 pm can't wait to see Kenichi Matsuyama as the perfect L once again! and Tatsuya Fujiwara too. The cast of Death note 2015 are good actors, but the characters are too different from what they are on the Manga/Anime. Specially a gay L and a duo personality near and mello -_-. though the Plot is not that bad/

L Sep 22 2015 3:20 pm I heard this time six books will fall...hmm IT LOOKS SO INTERESTING OH I CAN'T WAIT TILL 2016

NDKK Sep 18 2015 9:07 pm Please tell me that the cast will be the same one from the 2015 drama adaptation! >.< I loved the actors there.

Anna Sep 16 2015 12:10 pm if only the cast was like the death note from 2015

strawbee-ry Sep 14 2015 2:44 am the cast still TBA (to be announced) ~ do the trailer show the casts ??

ARVIN G Sep 14 2015 12:13 am this is interesting for i know the sreies ended with l change the world
