Netflix has come under public scrutiny for its Binge Model which is described by the Co-CEO as“We cancel shows that are produced using a large budget that speaks to Minority audience”.Fans were disappointed with this and some believed that shows should be given some time before they are canceled or removed from the streaming service. Many felt that weekly releases would be more appropriate for Epic shows whereas Rom-coms and Sitcoms should continue the binge model.
When it comes to Live-action Anime, most people refuse to even engage in conversation. After multiple failed attempts of other production houses to produce a decent Live-action manga, Netflix dipped its toes to test the water. To no one’s surprise, it failed miserably.

It’s Netflix. They’ll barely advertise it and then cancel it after one season.

After the poster and visual teaser were released, fans took to Twitter to share their opinions on it. They are not quite hopeful about the show especially because it’s being done by Netflix. There is a high possibility, fans feel, that Netflix will cancel the show even before audiences can decide whether it is worth it or not. Some are already sold on the fact that Netflix will fail at the adaptation as it did withDeath NoteandCowboy Bebop.
Netflix has constantly failed at Live action adaptation of Anime
Fan reaction might seem harsh but in reality, it is a genuine concern. Netflix has failed to adapt popular Anime into Live-action twice! It tried really hard to do right byCowboy Bebop,by bringing the Manga creator, Shinichiro Watanabe on board as a consultant. Yoko Kanno, who composed the track for the show was also hired to create music for the new program. Netflix, however, canceled the live-action series after just one season, despite the fact that it extensively parodied the original anime in its execution and garnered a sizable audience in the first week.

From the first week, there was a subsequent decline in viewership. The fact that it is an adaptation of an extremely popular anime series from the 1990s contributed to some of it. Expectations are high, and both Hollywood and Netflix have an infamous track record of shoddy anime adaptations. Of course, there were also issues with the show’s production and writing.
An adaptation is not required to be a perfect match to the original work.Death Noteis actually a narrative that lends itself to a wide range of protagonists and locations. Hell, the original source material has already done that. There have already been multiple live-actionDeath Noteadaptations. There are many sequels and retellings of this series as well. However, the NetflixDeath Notedetermined that this IS Light for some reason that is unclear, although a mayo-washed reduction of the real Light.
