"It was more interesting than I expected. Every bit of it is high quality and very fashionable, it's definitely Hollywood's Death Note. I think a wide range of people can enjoy this movie, not just fans, because there are parts that follow the original work but also changes, too." - Tsugumi Ohba. Takeshi Obata apparently sees the big opportunity for Death Note to reach new fans, thanks to this new interpretation "I hope that people overseas who did not know Death Note until now can enjoy watching it on Netflix. Adam Wingard 's visual beauty and thrilling directorial are splendid, and create a class 'A' thriller. This is the kind of the Death Note I'd like to draw as well."
Here is Takeshi Obata's drawing of Ryuk and Nat Wolff as Light Turner.
