Viz Gets ‘Death Note’ Live Action Features
Theatrical and DVD Rights

Viz Pictures has acquired the North American theatrical and DVD rights to the two live action Death Note features: Death Note and Death Note: The Last Name.

The first Viz screenings will be at Austin’s Fantastic Fest this weekend and at the Vancouver Asian Film Festival in November.

Ray’s take: hit me but I haven’t seen any Death Note at all. Just never got around to it. I did remember the movies did very well in when they came out here in Taiwan. From everything I’ve heard, it’s recommended.

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.

  1. Jeremy–a huge Death Note fan–really dislikes the live action movies. Says they got the characters wrong, big time. I haven’t watched them myself, but I certainly highly recommend the anime.

  2. I like the Live Action movies. They did do things a bit different, but I thought it made a lot of sense, and as a story, stayed true to the basic characters.

    Now as far as the anime goes, I wish they would have quit at about episode 25, so since the anime doesn’t try to fit in the second anime arc, which I felt was vastly inferior to the first, that may have something to do with my like of the movies.

    My General thought would be

    First Anime Arc > Live Action Movies > Second Anime Arc.
