Viz Gets Down With the Death Note

We wouldn’t be serving our audience right unless we noted that Viz has acquired the rights to release the live-action Death Note movies. No shocker there, as they also have the license for the TV series. It remains to be seen how Viz will mess this one up – they were originally going to release the TV shows within weeks of their first airing in Japan, but instead have sat on it for so long that it feels like almost time for another show to pull into the Hype Station. My feelings on the movies are well-documented, but I might catch the second one, just to see the ending. Whether I plan to spend any money on it is a different question altogether.
