The 1080p BluRay source ensures that the dark, atmospheric cinematography of Shusuke Kaneko is preserved, making the Shinigami (Ryuk and Rem) look significantly better than they did on older DVD rips.
The live-action films are often praised for how they condensed the sprawling plot of the manga into two tight thrillers.
The second installment of the 2006 live-action duology picks up immediately after the first film. Light Yagami joins the task force to hunt for "Kira" alongside the eccentric detective L, all while secretly continuing his crusade. The stakes escalate with the introduction of Misa Amane and the "Second Kira," leading to a legendary battle of wits that deviates from the manga in a way many fans find even more satisfying than the original ending.
Tatsuya Fujiwara (Light) and Kenichi Matsuyama (L) deliver what many consider to be the definitive live-action versions of these characters. Community Perspective
