Remember when the first teaser for Death Note came out, and the fan reaction was not pretty?
Well, things have only gotten uglier.

Netflix unveiled their full trailer for the manga adaptation on Thursday, and while it offers a better look at the adaptation, it’s getting an even worse response from fans.
Reactions seem to range from confused and unimpressed to full-on disgusted.
Ch-ch-check out the trailer AND the killer backlash (below)!

They should change the title of Death Note to “Death Note: Murican Trash Version”. That it’ll be more accurate. pic.twitter.com/L1rH38EIrh

Netflix has released a trailer for their live-action version of Death Note. Not impressed… pic.twitter.com/6wVfbZJJHA

That live action Death Note is barely death note. Why is there action? Why are Light and Misa bro-ing? Why is L giving public speeches?
