I still think Zach Efron would have made a perfect Light Yagami

>HERRO RAITO OR SHETU ERRU JUSTU DISCOVEREDU RAITO RIVES AS A STUDENTO IN JAPANU HORY SHETU

zach has fratboy features
light has twink crossdressure features

>I still think Zach Efron would have made a perfect Light Yagami

Except for the glaring obvious fact that Efron's a white guy and not some gook.

I'm not a weeb. That's how it's spelled when romanized.
夜神月 (Yagami Raito)
Your names are like John and Eric..I wouldn't call you Jahan and Ereku.

Would you prefer his name be Light Turner like in the Nextflix adaptation?

>smartest man alive
>outsmarted by a trap kid

Yes, fuck the japs, thats why we nuked them

but you've given no justification for rendering it in japanese in the first place. His first name - Light - is not a japanese word

More like outsmarted by the equivalents of Batman, Moriarty, and Columbo all working together at the same time against you two of which die in the process to catch you

you fucking retard

Apparently he's a huge anime fan too

Only because the first guy (or cuck as i like to call him) was too proud and refused to use all the tools available to him

The movie sucked anyway. Changing the lead to a white boy wouldn't have done shit.

I hate those bug people as much as the next guy, but it's just the truth.

If you're talking about what his name would be in English you can take two routes: directly translate it or write it out in Romanji so it can be read. So you can either call him Moon NightGod or you can call him Yagami Raito

You don't translate names across languages. Someone from Spain doesn't go from being called Jorge to George just because they're in an English speaking country.

death note was never good, give us a NGE or berserk live action movie already

Sort of. In my opinion L knew the only way he could catch Raito was by either killing him (and never solving the crime) or letting himself get killed so that M and N could officially take him out

But that's not how foreign names into English go. For example Yanni in greek is written in english directly as Gianni but also when a greek person goes to america the say their name is John.

no. no live action.

Yes it is how names in English go. I don't care about your anecdotal experiences. Names don't get translated. Yanni is named Yanni. If he chooses to go by Gianni or John that's his choice but those aren't his legal names unless he goes through the channels.
You're just missing the point entirely.

For the record, if I were really a weeb I would call the series and titular object Desu Nōto. But it isn't called that. The name of the book is explicitly stated to be written in English by Ryuk because it's the most spoken/written language.

You are in luck because Zefron is also gay. Perfect combo.

Thats not what a hapa looks like

Why do people call it Roman-Gee?
It's Romaji. The first time i looked at the term it said "Romaji". Why call it Roman as in english? If you weren't a weeb yourself you'd call it latin spelling, Romaji or whatever.

His name is literally Raito. Likewise, the hentai artist goes by Raita. You fuckers just call him by the nickname light.

What are you talking about, rōmaji is just the word for the Romanization of Japanese words. It's not a translation of the word Roman.

Efron is over fucking 30 m8.

Romaji directly translate to Roman Characters, which mean Latin spelling. The issue here is calling it RomanJi. Why the N?

Zac Efron and his brother Dylan and Lucas Grabeel are relentlessly handsome.

It's just another way to spell it.

zac is jewish, do not insult us jews like that.

i think pic related would be a better light than efron

Much better. His chin and nose are a bit too strong. What does he look like clean shaven?

You can blame weebs for this tragedy. They were adamant he couldn't do it because "white western boy bad!" The Japanese live action was a load of shit and that ugly kid they got to play him in the new American version was almost as bad as ugly black L.

>obese weeb has an opinion on one of the best looking males in the world

They don't need to be Japanese, Light doesn't look remotely Japanese. Just say it's an American adaptation so the retarded half of Twitter doesn't shit itself to death with faux outrage if they cast a handsome white boy.

He looked more like Light than any Asian alive you jealous greasy pig.

>projecting

Twink crossdressers usually look plastic and ugly with obvious body dysmorphia, and it wouldn't work on tv.

Cast a Hapa to play him. Raito is fully Japanese canonically but doesn't look it. Make it a white guy with like 20 percent Jap heritage

we can't have good anime adaptations because loud reddit and twitter fags demand it always be played by japanese actors, even when they characters themselves are not even asian. full metal alchemist is a prime example of that.

What about the glaringly obvious fact that Light doesn't look remotely Japanese despite being Japanese? This is why live action always fails, you can't cast 10/10 looking anime characters with stumpy little Asians who need a ton of make up, hair dye and surgery to look anything like them...

>Light doesn't look remotely Japanese

thats a hot take. How does he not look japanese?

Raito is a fucking female name.

Not serious enough.

Light does not look white at all. He looks like a made up race, like most anime characters except Killer B and Edward Elric

Blame Souichirou.

Live action movies have the best resolution. L writes his own name in the death note, backdated 30 days. Light does his whole big plan of getting Rem to kill Watari + L and then gloats like a motherfucker. L shows up and calls him out on it and arrests him, only to die 30 days later. Tie game. Everybody loses.

theres a reason it was made on paper, stop ruining things with your obsession to see fleshy retards.

More than just those two but yeah I get what you're saying.

>theres a reason it was made on paper
because the creator is a mangaka and not a director?

Live action is not a good medium for manga adaptation.
Not a bad idea. But L wanted to beat Kira above anything else, even his own life. Not tie with him.

>theres a reason it was made on paper, stop ruining things with your obsession to see fleshy retards.

That it's animation is irrelevant. The problem is that the good manga and anime are good because they do things that Western studios, entrenched in their own way, would never do. Adapting it is just throwing a good story to be mutilated to shit by a Western studio.
