Adaptations are rarely a positive thing in the west. Hollywood has long been known for its predilection to Americanizing anything foreign that they can get their hands on. Remember Ghost in the Shell? I think we're all still trying to forget. So you understand my bias as a reviewer right from the start, let me clarify a few things: I am a fan of the Death Note manga and anime, and I was against casting white actors in these roles from the start. I'm also usually not too hard on movies because, hey, it's just a two-hour piece of entertainment built for a wide audience. Sometimes I like bad movies. They can be fun. Netflix's new adaptation of Death Note almost falls into that category. Because, before I even get into the review, I'll preface with this: Death Note is a bad movie. Ahead, I'll go over the plot in detail and explain what's good and bad. Needless to say, SPOILER ALERT. Scroll to the bottom for a final spoiler-free verdict.
22/7 (Nanabun no Nijuuni), is a voice actor idol group produced by AKB48 Group and Nogizaka46 Series producer Akimoto Yasushi alongside Aniplex and Sony Music Records. Out of 10,325 applications, 8 girls were selected for this very special project aimed at producing “dimension-crossing” idols. Top of the line talent can only be expected with a project that wants to create “idols that cross dimensions.” One member that truly fits the bill is Amagi Sally.
