I’ve been in the mood to rewatch death note even though I just rewatched it so instead of watching it again I decided to watch the relight movies because I’ve never seen the story this way before. It was interesting to see what they cut out and how they fit like half the show into two hours. I enjoyed it a lot they did a very good job keeping all the known and good parts of the show in but the story obviously doesn’t flow as well as the show. Liked this a lot but didn’t really cure my death note fix if that makes sense. I have to watch the second movie now but it was great overall.
