Wow, thanks for updating about new Death Note. I thought it is still in the process of filming and I was very sceptical about it. Death Note is a first anime I watched and it made a very strong impression on me. I really loved it and recommended to all my friends, who were 0 in anime too :)
I think I will watch new version anyway, even though your article made me think a lot. I just love to see for myself, even if everyone says it is garbage. The only movie I did not watch in cinema was Transformers because reviews were horrible.
