That's right. I make movie reviews now. Two weeks after anyone cares about the movie anymore...

そうとも！ 今回は “映画レビュー” だ

YES!

2週間前なら… みんな この 話題で 持ちきりだったけどな｡

Death Note. Have you seen it? I got a lot of people asking me about the movie and uhhhh...

(; ﾟ∀ﾟ)＜ YES!!

you know I have a lot of thoughts about it, so I thought, why not share them with the world.

｢DEATH NOTE｣！

Listen to me, what I have to say. You probably have seen or heard of Death Note. It's a Japanese manga

もう観たか？

but that was made into an anime and then that was made into uh,

この映画について 俺に 聞いてくるヤツが多くてな…

I think it was already made to a live-action, but here it is again,

まぁ 思うところはあるから､

thanks to Netflix. A live movie

俺は 考えた､ ｢シェアしよう｣ と…

adaptation of an anime. Ooooh boy. I'm sure it will be the greatest film of all time.

“世界中” に｡

I'm sure Netflix won't fuck it up at all.

聞いてくれよ､ 俺の “レビュー” を…

Just like they did not at all ruin my favorite manga of all time, BLAME. You did not completely butcher that shit.

｢DEATH NOTE｣､ 聞いたことあるかな？

no, not at all. Now I feel ashamed liking Blame because of how goddamn awful

日本のマンガなんだが､ アニメ化されて…

the anime is. Thanks- thank you. Netflix. Basically Netflix

それで… 記憶が正しければ､ その後 実写化もされたはずだ

bought the rights to- to Death Note because it's not on Crunchyroll.

で､ “再実写化” された…

You can only watch it on Netflix

Netflixによってな

"legally." And it's probably their most popular anime. I imagine

実写向けに､ “脚色” したんだ､ アニメを…

it's the most popular one because whenever someone asks me, who doesn't watch anime

おぉ～ マジか｡

what anime to watch I always recommend them Death Note because it's such a

さぞかし 映画史上 “最高” の 作品なんだろうな？

classic

Netflixだって “過ち” は犯さないはずだ…

and it's so easy to get into so I always recommend that so it makes sense that it's the most popular one on Netflix and

ヤツら､ 過去にも… いや､ そんなはずはない！

for them to then make a live movie adaptation of it if they own the rights for it, you know, it's just gonna bring in more

俺の大好きな ｢BLAME!｣ を 台無しにしたなんて！

attention to it. And uh

“原作殺し” だなんて ウソだろ…？

you know, from a business standpoint,

いやいや！ そんなはずは…

I understand it.

俺､ ｢BLAME!｣ 好きって言いたくないよ… アニメ版が こんな酷いザマじゃな｡

I just don't understand what the hell that we're doing with this goddamn movie. Death Note has suffered

あ､ ありがとう Netflix。(?)

enough if you ask me, okay?

要約すると､ Netflixは…

All the angsty teenagers that almost ruined Death Notes.. Almost. They almost ruined Death Note.

｢DEATH NOTE｣ の “権利” を買ったんだ

But you know I rewatch it not long ago, and it it still adds up. It's still an amazing anime,

Chrunchyrollには ないからな

I still would recommend people to watch it for sure. But if you haven't seen Death Note let me just explain the plot

Netflixでしか観れないんだ､ “合法的” には な

it's very simple:

思うに､ これが 彼らの有する 最も有名なアニメになるだろう…

It's the story of Yagami Light, my favorite anime character of all time, who discovers

うん､ これが一番だな… 俺も アニメを 観ないヤツから オススメを聞かれたら､

this death note by chance. And in it, if he writes a person's name while thinking of that person's face

いつも ｢DEATH NOTE｣ を薦めるんだ､ これだけ “古き良き” アニメだし…

that person will die. So Yagami Light is this genius

のめり込みやすいしな

who, life is just too simple for him. He's too smart for people, and he's just bored. So for him to discover something like this,

Netflixの “代表作” になるのも わかる… なにしろ 俺の “イチオシ” だからな

he immediately thinks, 'okay, well I'm gonna use this for the greater good of humanity,

もっと言えば､ 彼らにとっても 実写化の “権利” を 手に入れたら…

I'm gonna start killing all the criminals.' So you have this extremely intelligent person in charge of something incredibly dangerous

こう… 注目を集められるだろ？

doing what he thinks is the right thing to do,

そしたら… ほら､ ビジネス的にも…

but then you have on the other side this other character named L

まぁ､ わかるよ｡

which is sort of a contrast of his character, very quirky, very funny, and light

ただ､ わからないのは…

but also extremely intelligent,

一体 どうするんだ…？

who is on the side of the law who thinks, "No what you're doing is wrong

こんなクソ映画で。w

I'm gonna stop you." So you get this sort of cat-and-mouse chase between the whole series

｢DEATH NOTE｣ は 使い古された…!!

which is probably one of the best cat-and-mouse chases I've ever seen. It- it has

… って思うヤツもいるだろ？

some of my favorite moments in any anime ever and it's just such an interesting concept of

｢DEATH NOTE｣ が 台無しにされないかと 心配してる､ そこの “原作厨” のキミ…

what is right and what is wrong. With the film, with this live movie adaptation, they basically said, 'okay,

ほぼ正解｡

well let's take everything that is good out of this anime and remove it.

まぁ､ ほとんど台無しだよ｡

Just get rid of it, I don't want to see anything good in this film except Ryuk'

でも… ちょっと前に アニメ版を観たら､

Ryuk was cool, but whatever.. Apparently the director of this film

今なお 色褪せないし､ 今 観ても 素晴らしかったよ

received death threats because fans were just so upset about

今でも 確信を持って 薦めると思う｡

some of the choices in this film. First of all it's completely

｢DEATH NOTE｣ 観たことないって？ それなら あらすじを説明しよう

Americanized, so there's no Japanese cast, so people already start cultural appropriation

物語は シンプルだ… 主人公の名は “夜神 月(ﾗｲﾄ)”

Apparently Adam Wingard had to delete his twitter because people were just too mean...

俺のお気に入りのキャラクターさ…

too mean about the choices in this film some. Some- at least one person

アニメ史上で な｡

sat down and wrote "Adam Wingard"

コイツが､ あの “デスノート” を 見つけたんだ… 偶然に な

in their notebook... some fucking, someone tried, someone must have tried. And I just want to criticize his film.

で､ このノートに…

I like some of Adams previous work. I thought "You're Next" was really good, so I try to go into this with an open mind

自分が顔を知ってるヤツの 名前を 書き込むと…

thinking okay well you know what I want to enjoy this. I wanna like this.

その人間は､ 必ず死ぬ｡

What's so great about the anime is the two main characters and how

夜神 月は､ その “才能” ゆえに…

they interact with each other. As I explained, Yagami Light who is this genius...

人生すら ｢退屈だ｣ と感じてた… 彼は 頭が良すぎたんだな

you couldn't have a more perfect character to find this death note. He is extremely

つまり､ 飽きてたんだ｡

calculated, nothing gets past this guy.

そういうヤツが､ このノートを手にして…

And oh I bet he has a huge dick as well. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

すぐに こう考えた､ ｢このノートを 正義の “裁き” のために使おう…｣

When he first discovers the death note,

｢まずは 凶悪犯を “掃除” してやる｣ ってな

he's extremely cautious with it, and he wants to make sure that no one else..

とんでもなく頭脳明晰なヤツが とんでもない “危険” を冒し…

no one else can find out that he has this because obviously that would mean

｢正しい｣ と思うことを… 先頭に立って やってるワケだ

huge consequences.

だが､ ここで もう一方の キャラクター ･ “L (ｴﾙ)” が現れる

So he builds this contraction that holds it in... "You see once the ink reservoir is inserted,

ある意味､ 月とは対照的だ…

it acts as an insulator preventing the flow of electricity around the circuit."

すごく奇妙で､ 滑稽で 軽薄で…

When light finds the death note in the live adaptation,

でも とんでもなく頭が切れる

you know, you think he's being smart with it as well...

彼は “法” の側の人間で､

but no! he just fucking goes to gym class and reads it in public!

｢いや､ お前の行動は間違ってる…｣

And then he shows this to this girl to get laid!

｢私が止めてやる｣ ってな

NO! I say NO! Too far! He went too far.

こうして､ シリーズ全体を通した “イタチごっこ” が 繰り広げられる…

"He was a sociopath just because he's dead does not mean a tragedy. I just wish I'd seen it.."

おそらく､ 俺が観た中でも 最高レベルの “逃走劇” だったよ

I'm guessing this girl is supposed to be Misa.

どのアニメにもない､ 大好きな シーンが いくつもあるんだ

This fucking girl

そして､ 作品の “コンセプト” も 非常に 興味深いんだ…

Which is probably one of the most annoying characters ever. In the anime ,Misa gets thrown into the mix of the story

｢なにが “正義” で なにが “悪” か｣ ､

and it's- she sort of just messes everything up because she's so goddamn annoying, But in the anime he uses her to further himself

映画の方では…

he uses her to

つまり 今回の実写化では､ 彼らの “コンセプト” は…

to get to his goal, to get to his goal,

｢よし､ じゃあ “良いところ” を…｣

of becoming this God that he wants to be. Here, in the movie,

｢アニメから選んで､ ｣

he uses it to get laid... He does it to get laid...

｢ 全部 取っちゃえ！｣ … w

God.. fucking.. how? You have probably one of the most interesting characters of all time

｢ ( ﾟДﾟ)＜ 全部 捨てちまえ!! ｣

and you just reduce him to this fucking pathetic little bitch.

｢ ( ﾟДﾟ)＜ 見たくねぇんだ!! ｣

Now let me just be clear and- and *spoiler alert* here, okay, Yagami Light is gay okay?

｢ ( ﾟДﾟ)＜ “良いところ” なんて!! ｣

Yagami

あっ､ リュークは別な… あれは良かったから｡

backwards is "I'm gay" If you want more proof than that,

どうやら､ この映画の監督が…

I don't know what to tell you, but I do have it so shut up!

“殺害予告” を 受けてるらしい… ファンどもが 混乱しちまったんだ､

This is one part in the anime that not a lot of people don't seem to understand. They're like 'uh.. was weird..

｢ この “選択” は おかしい！｣ ってな

why- what just happened?'

まず､ 完全に “アメリカ版” にされてる点… つまり 日本人キャストがいない

It's because that- he's gay, okay? "What are you doing?" It's this part where L massages his feet.

だから､ 人は言うんだ…

"I thought I might help you out, you were busy wiping yourself off anyway." How does Hollywood make a gay character straight?

｢ (#ﾟДﾟ)＜ “文化の盗用” だ！｣ と｡

I thought they were supposed to be

ってワケで､

progressive. I always read it as

Adam… Wingardだっけ？

you have the character Yagami Light who... he's a sociopath

アカ消ししたみたいだ…

he only loves himself.

お前らが あまりに “下品” だから｡

But he has at least the character L that he sees as his equal, someone on his level,

いや､ その… 映画の “脚色” が｡

and that's the only person that he could at least, other than himself,

思うに､ 最低でも 1人は… w

care about. That's how I saw it at least and that's how I saw the relationship.

書いたはずだ､ ｢Adam Wingard｣ の名を…

Later on they introduced L in the movie, and it's

“あの” ノートに｡

it's probably the character that is the closest to the actual

あぁっ､ クソ…

anime.

そうだろ､ 絶対やっただろ｡

He's this quirky character, he eats the sweets all the time, he sits in a real weird way. He's just a weird character.

俺は この映画を “批判” したい

And he is that way because he's supposed to be the contrast of- of Yagami who is this really calculated, composed,

Adamsの作品は 好きなヤツもあるぜ… ｢サプライズ｣ だって 良いと思ったし､

always-keep-it-cool character.

だからこそ “広い心” で 観ようとしたんだ…

But I guess that doesn't matter, I don't know why they just fucking, whatever... When L is introduced the anime very early,

こう言い聞かせた… ｢よし､ 俺は…｣

he does something so smart and so clever that you're like whoa!

｢俺は 楽しみたい､ コレを 好きになりたい｣ とな

This guy is actually for real,

アニメ版の素晴らしいところは､ さっきの 2人のキャラクターが…

You know? This is actually a true rival to Yagami Light. Here in the movie,

どのように “影響” し合うか だ

you really just get, 'Ah, he did something really smart, ah here

さっきも言ったけど､ 夜神 月は…

he is' It's the epitome of show, don't tell. They just went with the easier option.

“秀才” なんだ… デスノートを持つのに これほど完璧なヤツは いないだろう

So Yagami and his gay little girlfriend are, they just start killing people together. She's the one really pushing for it

おまけに 計画的すぎるヤツだ､ コイツの目は欺けない…

it's really lame. I don't understand it, but yeah, they just keep killing all the criminals yadda, yadda, yadda...

あぁ､ チ〇コだって デカいハズだぜ。(?)

super lame...

デスノートを見つけたときだって…

ruin my life.. And yeah, no, they have computer science class, and they're like "hey

彼は とても慎重だった

let's go to 4chan and look up people to kill"

そして､ 他のヤツが 絶対に…

And then they introduce the only sort of interesting

絶対に 見つけられないようにした… だって バレちまったら そりゃ､

concept of the film which is

炎上不可避だろ… w

can we really kill people just based of rumors?

だから､ ノートを格納する “引き出し” まで 作って…

Which is of course never explored again, so it doesn't really matter.

( わかる？ )

But in the anime, you have this amazing concept of is it two people wanting justice, L and Kira, they both want justice

( この 電気を通さない ボールペンの芯が… )

but they have different ideas of how that looks like. So they go against each other. I mean that's brilliant

( 絶縁体となり 電流をせき止めている )

There's also the concept of Yagami light. He thinks he's doing good, but

月が ノートを見つける このシーンなんだが…

it's actually evil, it's actually pretty messed up. And by the end of it you think okay,

今回の実写版では､

well is he a bad character?

ほら… “切れ者” だと思うだろ？

Is he a bad person? Or did the death note turn him into a bad person? Are bad people

はい､ 残念！

inherently bad people, or do they become bad people when things affect them? Is that explored in the film?

このクソ野郎は 体育の授業で､

No, it isn't!

堂々と 読みやがった！

It's basically reduced to 'oh, let's go to 4Chan and look at bad people,

しかも､ このクソ女に見せて…

let's- let's kill em!'

｢ヤらないか｣ だとよ！ w

No, we can't do that, you crazy bitch.

(; ﾟДﾟ)＜ ダメ…!!

Whatever you're not getting my pussy...

(#ﾟДﾟ)＜ ダメ!! ゼッタイ!!

But you know at least in the movie

(; ﾟДﾟ)＜ それは…

you get to see the head explodes really splooshy heads. Everyone's head is just made of

(; ﾟДﾟ)＜ アカン!!

gelatin apparently...

いや､ 普通にアカンやろ… w

I don't even know if I can show it but...

思うに､ この女の子が ミサミサか？

everyone who dies basically is just made of rubber. They're made of gelatin.

この クソ女｡

That's pretty cool. We also get the funny face reactions. I mean look at this fine piece of acting right here

たぶん､ 史上最高にウザい キャラクターの 1人だ

*Screaming*

アニメ版では､ この 海砂 (ﾐｻ) が ストーリーを 引っ掻き回すんだ…

In the actor's defense I sort of understand what he was going for,

彼女が 全部めちゃくちゃに するんだよ… なぜなら､

Yagami Light always has these strange looking faces.

ウザいから。(?)

There's some stills from the anime that are just like, what the fuck!

でも アニメ版では､ 月が コイツを “利用” して のし上がる…

What happened here?

彼は､ この女を…

But that, that's the thing cuz Yagami is this character

自分自身の…

and he's always composed, no matter what, you know, even if he's discovered.

“ゴール” のために､

Even if he's at the brink of you know losing everything, he's always composed. So when he breaks character

つまりは… “新世界の神” だ､

it's a big deal, and you're like 'whoa' and he makes these crazy looking faces, So I understand that he's trying to make funny faces

“神” に なりたいんだ

based on like the anime, but it just like dude. It's not that... It's not how... that's not why

一方…

*Screaming mixed with Killer Keemstar*

この映画では､

But people are just hating on him so much for making these faces. I get it

女と ヤるために… “利用” してるな｡

I don't think it was that bad to be honest

あぁっ クソ… なぜ？

I don't know. Out of all the bad things out of the movie, I don't think he is the worst.

たぶん 史上最高に面白い キャラクターの 魅力を…

There's even a chase scene in the film. I'm not kidding. There's a chase scene

全て削って､

Why is there a chase scene Hollywood?

ただのイタいビッチにしやがった。w

You have these two

ひとつ 明らかにしたいんだが…

smartest people in it and they have a conflict, what do they do? They chase each other!

ここからは ネタバレだ…

My camera stopped working

夜神 月は､ ＿＿だ｡

Here I am a day later

夜神 月は､ ゲイだ｡

And I'm gonna try and finish this video. The point

“YAGAMI (夜神)” を 逆読みすると “＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿”

I was making with the chase...

“YAGAMI (夜神)” を 逆読みすると “I’M A GAY (私はゲイだ)”

L and Light are two intellectuals. In the anime

｢それより明確な証拠は？｣ だと…

they know who each other are and it's all about out-witting each other,

んなもん ねーよ！

it's all about who can be the first one to outwit the other and expose him.

でも そうなるだろーが！

They are both perfectly aware of each other and what they are. But seemingly

( ﾟДﾟ)＜ 黙ってろ!!

everyone else doesn't really understand what's going on, but these guys are just on another level.

アニメ版のワンシーンなんだが､ ほとんどの ヤツは… ｢キモい｣ で済ませてしまった

But then you have them on a goddamn chase scene! It's so stupid! That's the only way I can express it to scream

｢なにコレ？｣ ってな

Why did you have to murder these characters?

これは 彼がゲイだからだ… な？

I don't understand! Make a remake... Fine!

( 何をする､ 竜崎!? )

But make it of something else god damn it! You ruin Blame for me. You ruined one of my favorite mangas Netflix

Ｌが 月の足を マッサージするシーン… w

I can barely look at it now. Everyone's like 'oh, I watched that favorite manga that you have... uh, Blame

( お手伝いをしようかと… )

it was shit.' YEAH, OF COURSE IT WAS SHIT CAUSE NETFLIX MADE IT SHIT!

( 熱心に 拭いていらっしゃるので｡ )

ITS NOT MY FAULT!

ハリウッドになったとたん ゲイじゃなくなったのか？

Go watch Death Note, it's an amazing anime. You'll love it. I think it's ahh..

コイツらなら､ 絶対に…

no matter what age you are, or

“先” を行かなければ！

who you are, it's a classic, and if you need any more anime recommendations... I got you fam

俺は こう思うんだ…

don't worry about it. Just write a comment. Also leave a like if you enjoyed this video

夜神 月というキャラクターは…

it's very different, but I like to do different things so lemme know if it works out and ahh...

“反社会的人格” なんだ､ 自分のことしか… 愛さない

Squad Fam Out!

でも Ｌに関してだけは､

*Screaming*

自分と “対等” … つまり 同じ レベルの人間だと思ってる
