Wow I watched Deathnote last night, too! I mostly enjoyed it. Was bugged by the mainstreamy (what you'd call "normie" I think) black & white way of thinking. I was extremely surprised and saddened by the girlfriend becoming so murderous. Especially since our introduction of her was that she ran up to attack a bully to defend someone! So then later she wants to murder good people? No way! That said, I did find myself caring about the main character, being charmed by the masked investigator, and finding the ending super clever.
