I saw part of the movies before the anime. Tbh it seemed like the worst parts of the movie were just how shoddily integrated the animations were, so I was excited about the remake and was gonna borrow it from the library.... then I heard they decided to arbitrarily insert themes and decided against it. I'm not gonna waste my time watching something where arbitrary decisions are made to change source material. It shows a lack of confidence in the source material or a misunderstanding of it like 95% of the time... and tbh Death Note was walking a fine line between masterpiece and complete shit in anime form for my sensibilities anyways(not too big of a fan of gore, and it really didn't have too much action as he pretty much killed everyone with their name).
