Because they need characters. They're not going to make 13 movies. They're probably going to make a trilogy and end it at around volume 7.
Makes sense to intro Misa in this one. It's just too bad Adam Wingard is going to make her an edgy goth chick as opposed to an over the top kawaii girl.

When you're moving the show to America, it's kinda expected that the characters will no longer be Asian.

The thing people should really be worried about is that you can't have a stupid bimbo characters in a Hollywood film now. She'll be a strong independent woman who's an equal match to Light!

Of course that completely negates the point of her character as being a character who is dangerous as fuck and prone to mistakes but easily manipulated. But fuck that, can't have a psycho murderer being a bad role model for little girl!

Death Note is not an english title. Note is a loanword in japanese, but still japanese, meaning notebook. Japanese has many words like that, for example "arbeit" being german for "work" means "part-time job" in japanese.

If you take the title as an english one, it makes little sense. There's no death note in the series. There is a death notebook however.
>>
>>62723715

yeah that third one really sucked
>>
>>62723882

the singular pages for which the explanation and causes for the death are written could be described as 'notes'. regardless, the title still serves the series well and i'm very familiar with the japanese language.

And "Death Note" is 'an english title.' Wtf are you even talking about? It's the title that most westerners already know the series for having.

No it's not. It's a japanese title with an english word and a loanword from english, but japanese.
Again, you know this because note and notebook are two different words with different meanings in english, but not in japanese.

ok, let me hit you with some very basic logic real quick.

how can a title with TWO ENGLISH loan words "デスノート" (desuデス and ノート-nouto) "death note" somehow become japanese? it's even written in kata meaning that they're clearly borrowed words. Words, that were clearly borrowed from the english language. How can those borrowed words become japanese even though they're borrowed?

You said it yourself. Granted, no-to means notebook in japanese, but the word is still a derivative of an english word.

>>62724002
if you spent more time looking at actual japanese people, you wouldn't over generalize about their features in relation to so-called 'white' features.
>>
Well it's not like it's going to take place in Japan, so the characters should mostly be white. It'd be way more contrived if it took place in LA/NY and every major character was Asian.

There's way more important things to worry about than what race the characters are. Like if they're actually going to try with this adaptation. My guess is that it's going to be Hitman-tier.
>>
>>62723274
Some could work. I could see a Hollywood Attack on Titan with a big budget. Japan messed up, but I think Hollywood would be rad.

Personally though I want a Fullmetal Alchemist movie.

>>62724246
>Granted, no-to means notebook in japanese, but the word is still a derivative of an english word.
Yeah but that doesn't make it not-japanese. Kindergarten or cafe being words from other languages doesn't mean they don't also exist in english as loanwords.

>How can those borrowed words become japanese even though they're borrowed?
Because that's how language works? And again, if you take it as an english title, it doesn't make sense in relation to the story. Hell, look up any english synopsis of the story.
>Light Yagami is a bored young genius who resents all things evil. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers the "Death Note", a notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it.
That clarification as to what 'Death Note' actually means would not be necessary if the title made sense and applied to the subject matter in english.

Which do you think will be worse, Death Note or Ghost in the Shell?

Bear in mind that while Death Note may have casting issues, there isn't much known about how far off the source material the script will go.

Meanwhile in Ghost in the Shell the entirety of Section 9 has been relegated to being corporate lackeys fighting the evil that is the Laughing Man.
>>
>>62724277
>Some could work.

Ok, I take back what I said. Gits should be fairly easy since it's nothing more than human augmentation/existentialism philosophy mixed with political philosophy.

Edge of Tomorrow is actually 200% better than its original source material so it's possible to have a good translation of japanese media for american audiences especially since it's done quite often successfully.

>>62724371
You're whole issue is with literal translations versus figurative translations. Seriously. That's it. Even if another culture adopts a phrase or term, this doesn't end the phrases' existence in the language it was derived.

Please learn what literal translations are and realize that although with language we need to be aware of them, it's not necessarily how people speak to each other. Just learn any introductory phrase in any given language. If you watch anime fansubs, the majority of the japanese that's translated to english isn't exactly what the japanese speakers are saying. The english subs are usually localized such that the phrases make sense to an english speaker.

>taking large eyes as a race indicator
Large eyes are typical in all sorts of comics, cartoons, anime, etc. because with a generally more simple, stylized version of faces, there's a limit to expression and eyes are the most expressive feature, so they're typically oversized to really get those emotions across.
>taking hair colour as a race indicator
Hardly applicable in a world full of pink, green or blue hair.

If you want to look at actual race indicators, check out the round faces and the small noses (you know how people sometimes make fun about anime characters having no nose? yeah). Those are race indicators for the japanese and also the features that change the most when they want to show non-asians.

Never said that. Note exists as a word in both english an japanese (and probably a bunch of other languages), to determine which language it was used in you have to look at the meaning. And 'death note' describing a notebook of death means it was used in its japanese sense.

Also I don't know why you go off on this tanget about the difference between literal translations and localisations. I'm well aware of the difference but it doesn't really apply to anything in this discussion.

It absolutely does apply given that you're looking for a literal translation. Actually, I don't know what you're looking for. What should the title be if there should be an "english" title for the death note series? Seriously, you aren't making any sense.

Honestly I think Death Note is harder to screw up than Ghost in the Shell, the former is basically a supernatural thriller/detective story.

They'll both probably suck but the ways in which GitS sucks will be much more numerous and specific.
>>
I think Death Note works in English well. I mean we use the word note to mean small writing, even referring to a whole notebook as simply 'notes' and within context of the show/movie it isn't even contradictory or confusing.

Death Notebook doesn't sound good at all. A damn molossus which always have an ugly sound at least we are left with small spondee.

>>
>>62724679
I'm not looking for a literal translation, don't know where you got that idea.

My point is that the original title is japanese, but with english words and this means someone not familiar with the series (or japanese) will look at the title and just think it's silly. Imagine this english film and someone saying "check out this death note" while holding up a notebook. It's dumb and that's why I called it engrish.

As to what the english title SHOULD be, I don't know. Despite my complaints there is some merit to keeping the original due to recognition and a literal translation like "Death Notebook" might sound too plain. I don't know, it's not my job to come up with good titles.

given the title デスノート is written in kata, this practically means that the title is inherently NOT japanese. you've drawn a meaningless distinction simply based on how the japanese have chosen to define an english word.

call it slang if you like, but this happens often in both languages. it's a sort of natural evolution. note and notebook are english words regardless of how the japanese define them. i understand your complaint better now, but what you're looking for is better localization. you want the title to have proper meaning to an english speaker even though the title of the series is already in english.

can't wait to see her in this fucking movie!

also, asian american actors don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting roles if they can't even get roles in series that come from asia that are teeming with asian characters.

are asian american actors forever sidelined because the western world's largest economic competitors are in asia? even hikaru utada tried to get her singing career started in America, but realized there were no opportunities for her here. Then she decided to get something going in Japan and exploded everywhere.

The problem is that Near and Mello come out of nowhere and don't make enough of an impact in the time they have.

I think it would have been better if a character that was a combination of Near/Mello (obviously a disciple of L but has his own rebellious streak that makes him a much more dangerous/unpredictable opponent) was introduced fairly early on. Maybe have a few scenes where L talks and consults with him. Then finally he comes properly onto the stage when L dies. He should be an "upgrade" from L, not a downgrade, a much fiercer opponent.

>Why do that?
Because they fucked up. They thought they could establish him as his own character along with Mello but it didn't work out.

Interesting fact to consider, the second work of the author + mangaka duo making Death Note, Bakuman, is about an author + mangaka duo making manga (so meta) and the final arc of that series is about ending a series focused on the conflict between two individuals exactly at the right time - when that conflict is resolved, instead of introducing new charcters and dragging it out.

I guess they learned something from DN.

the only people that say shit like this are the ones ignorant of asian people. they only know asians by the TINIEST minorities that hide in their cities and towns.

also, hairstyles are becoming less of a ethnicity definer. japanese people can sport afros and some choose to do so just like white and black people.

If you want a live-action Death Note with Japs, it exists. Now it's being made with a real budget in a real country so it needs to have real people in it. We can't have a bunch of wannabe-Kabuki-actors overracting like fucking crazy and being retarded, it's time for real film-making ok?
>>
>>62725227

Well that "point" didn't really work, considering it led to a weaker plot.

Maybe if Mello and Near had a clearer partnership it would have been better, but instead they were competing against each other from the start. Really, Mello was just a slight help, Near got all the glory. Near was the main threat to Light, while Mello was an annoyance who eventually got killed off.

Yeah it would make way more sense if she was Ray Penbar's wife but multiple sources have said she's cast as Misa and it lists as such on the IMDB. The guy playing Light is an ugly little faggot from those gay ass John Green movies though so I don't know if this movie will be anything more than a 5/10.
>>
>>62722228
>It's set in Japan but the main characters are all white


Whites playing Japanese roles, from a Japanese story, in Japan is just as fucking stupid as casting blacks in white roles, from white stories, like Star Wars.

Either steal the story and adapt it, or cast the appropriate actors. This casting is as dumb as remaking Seven Samurai in Japan with white "samurai".

>>
>>62725629
well let's face it there's nothing inherently white about finn, a character who as far as the public is concerned has always been black
whiteness and blackness aren't apparent concepts in star wars, racism is probably more logically oriented around species-ism or whatever
james bond would've been a better analogy

Eh fuck it. Honestly I started Planetes and LotGH around the same time and it's hard to 'downgrade'. That being said there is no way in fuck the US will do it justice like the japanese live-action did. Ameriplebs can't into subtlety, introspection, or making non-nepotist casting decisions.

Well this is quite the opportune moment to show you a prime example of (somewhat) successful White/Asian race-mixing. My mother is glorious pure-blooded Japanese master race and my father is a German/English fusion. I am the genetic result of that combination. Judge me as you will and I am aware that my personal end result is not an all-encompassing outcome of all the same or similar genetic culminations. I am also aware I look a bit faggotish in this picture. In regards to my intelligence my mother had me take a standardized IQ test with a somewhat renowned and prestigious psychologist a few months ago and the result was an iq of 129 which he said according to the currently applied scale of iq is above the 97th percentile.
