*mini spoilers XD* I didn't mind Mello(I love that he brings Matt in <3) but I hated N. I agree the anime had the better ending compared to the two, but the movies didn't suck! Like I said before I liked the first one but not really the second because of the mashed up ending. Uhm.. Are you guys really sure about that?
I thought they started the live-action movies BEFORE the anime show? So how could it ruin the anime if the movie came first? ~_~ (I need to go look up the dates again!) If we're going to talk about what adaptations screwed over what, we should probably compare them to the manga itself, then we could say "The film didn't follow the manga, but the anime did!"(Maybe, although this would be in the wrong area, and I haven't had a chance to read it yet so I wouldn't know if it followed or not. XD)
I agree with you Kohaku. =( It probably would have been better if they spread the story out more.(I really wanted to see some of Yotsuba Corp..) They made a spinoff movie called
"L: Change the World", but I heard that it wasn't very good.
Sorry Shaelyn! I hope you enjoy the movie, at least. =S
