| Most of us have probably watched Death Note as a starter anime. Death Note is more than a decade old anime. Since then technology and animation have quite improved. So, do you think Death Note deserve a remake with a slightly better plot. |

| define deserve cause the rules of anime creation are against stuff like "remake with a slightly better plot" anyway, death note done by kyoani would be nice.. lelouch and L would be part of a swimming team |
 |
| I have never watched Death Note because of the animation for the most part, so I think IF it was remade I would then probably watch it. EDIT: But I gotta agree with others here, it doesn't "need" it. |

So, do you think Death Note deserve a remake with a slightly better plot. I literally had the same post in another thread. Yes please. This is one of the rare moments where the live action is better than the anime. |

| Netflix tried it, and you saw what happened. Plus, Death Note isn't even good, better leave remakes for better things. |
 One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does. |
| Its not about deserving one, more about needing one. Does it need one? The original is pretty damn good even with the spoiler. Remakes tend to miss what makes the original good. |

| Technically, the Netflix live action was a remake, so... |
 |
| Nope. The original's animation is decent even by today's standards, and it pretty much followed the manga IIRC, so changing the plot to have a different outcome would just be pointless in my opinion. |
 What's the difference? |

|
| Same here, nope. Honestly don't think Death Note deserves a remake, I mean they were some parts of it that could've been done better but overall I think that the show was done good |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| They still need to introduce the rest of the alphabet. |
| It's really not needed. The anime is good as it is. |
 |
| Death note does not need to remake, because even if to consider the personality of the characters and the form they usually communicate, was well saturated, in addition to the projection of the thought of each, if it is to get a Remake, only a few details that really need,But the Netflix Need. (My opinion) |
 |
| Lol, people complain about the animation from Death Note, and I watched it twice and never saw any problems with it, my eyes must be really bad. |

|
| Well , I didn't have any issues with this series except the final episodes which were milked a lot , I wish the creator will release another manga and end this show in a good way without milking it too much. Then madhouse will adapt it oh wait , why am I dreaming ?? |

| Nah, there are too many things that can go wrong. Just look what they did to Berserk. They released 3 half-assed full CGI remake movies, they look like shit, the animation is like in some cheap video game, they cut important dialogues and parts of the story - and people still watch them because muh better animation (rly?). I'll pass, DN's animation is still decent by today standards. |

| It's perfectly fine as it is. No need for one. |
| Death Notes animation till date is worth watching and experiencing something special. The story sticks to the manga properly so does it perfectly, So no there is no need for an adaptation. |

| Just add some shining filtrer and you'll gat a "modern-looking" anime. (I don't have the feeling animation improved that much, it only depends of budget/will animators) My hd version of death note looks good. Also, for the plot part, I guess the anime follows the story of the original material. If don't think that because you don't like it, there should be a remake. Finally, Why bother remaking art and plot ? Let's just create a new anime, I'm sure there is a lot of others interesting stories worth being made into anime. |
  |
| Its not about it deserving a remake or not, it's about it already being good enough of an anime. It doesn't need a remake. |

| Mr. Expert can you explain to me how specifically 'animation has improved' since Death Note? That's one of these statements that disqualifies you from being taken seriously because it's such obvious bullshit. Some things don't get automatically better just because they're newer and animation is one of those things. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Some things don't get automatically better just because they're newer and animation is one of those things. Plus its not just Animation that makes it look good, shot-composition does that to (and that's why Berserk 1997 will always look better than Berserk 2016/2017) |
| If it was somehow a non-faithful adaptation of the manga that led to that plot (like let's say FMA 2003) then sure, but seeing as that is not the case... no, definitely not. There are hundreds of series that would need a remake way more than Death Note ever will |
  |
| Maybe a remasted version since I just rewatched it on Netflix and it being on my flat screen looked kind of grainy but the style and Araki directing shouldn't be touched. |

Kenny_Stryker said: ...So, do you think Death Note deserve a remake with a slightly better plot. Wow man, you just blew it up all the way! Do you even realize that the things that you're criticizing happen exactly the same in the Manga? So, you just want a new Anime adaptation that doesn't follow the Manga then? |
  |
| It's like people think only the last third is bad. |
| The animation is fine as it is, it really doesnt need a remake. They would probably manage to screw it up. Just leave Death Note alone, it's a masterpiece on its own, if anything people can learn from the recently released Live Action film. (which I'm not even going to watch after seeing some clips) |
 |
| Maybe in five more years or so. "Death Note: Brotherhood" |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Absolutely yes. In terms of animation quality things are really good especially for season 1. Storywise everything is really great for season 1 and I gave DN a 10 because even if I didn't quite like the latter part as much season 1 was just that good that I feel the show deserves the 10. IMO all I'd suggest are maybe touchups/improvements done to those like they're already >95% of where they'd need to be in terms of both animation and story for a remake. Like maybe if there was more cool stuff in the manga for season 1 they could consider adding them in too. Mainly it's season 2 and that ending that need work like IMHO an overhaul. Think of an FMA Brotherhood style remake but with storyline changes being mostly in the second season. I wish that both the manga author and the animation studio would revisit Death Note to give it a better second half and a proper ending. I really felt after the ending that the author ran out of ideas or burned out like maybe he wanted a break but maybe publisher forced him to continue anyways at the cost of quality. I think things could have been a whole lot better if he'd taken a break to help get the motivation and creativity back, everybody gets burnout eventually. And I think he may have the desire seeing as he made a kinda sort of similar manga series afterwards(Platinum End). I thought about this when on another part of the forum and came here to make a topic similar to this. I'm 100% cool with authors taking breaks since I've seen what happens from burnout as long as it hopefully isn't permanent hiatus. Death Note ending still disappoints me, maybe he'd have made a way more satisfying ending and perhaps the show could have gone on a little bit longer if he'd just taken a break. It really seemed like he abruptly ran out of material and/or motivation, or just simply burned out. IMO it could have been a 9.0+ average score if it stayed strong till the end. It made me wonder if the publisher forces them to continue in order to have X amount of chapters done by a specific deadline. Even waiting an extra year would be far better than forcing them to continue for disappointing results. This 100%. Noesnecesario said: Netflix tried it, and you saw what happened. Plus, Death Note isn't even good, better leave remakes for better things. I really don't feel that Netflix thing counts, TBH I hate that thing for possibly harming Death Note's popularity. It looked like garbage and I'm sure the author of Death Note had no involvement over it. Even from just a quick look it's clear to me they changed way too much, like I'm sure would have gotten veto'd if the author had any control with the Netflix show. I consider it like Dragonball Evolution, absolutely no relevance to the actual anime & manga. |

Mkim said: VersusXV said: o lolTell me more please. I have no idea about this Reversi series. Maybe it can become another favorite for me. It's a fictional manga from Bakuman, a manga about making manga on Shounen Jump It's very heavy on scenarios that takes influences on Obata and Ohba experiences while working on the company, the entire arc surrounding Reversi can be taken as a retelling of Obata and Ohba's production on Death Note, including behind the scene conflict that may or may not be taken as what actually happened That sounds fascinating, I'm sure it's bound to be an interesting story as IMO something had to have happened at some point. I'm sure the publisher/editor was like "We need this series wrapped up by the end of the month/quarter no matter what" and then on the anime side of things what can they do when it's been published already? The show was genius then kind of fell apart. Or disagreements between them possibly, that would have been disastrous? What part of Bakuman contains specifically this? |
| death note is one of my favorite anime of all time but i don't think it deserves a remake, even though that ending fucking sucked imo |
