Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Steel Ball Run would probably be the best stand alone JoJo movie but Japan isn't especially into it, based on sales versus other parts. DiU or Vento are the best alternatives but Vento's had a lot of spotlight historically because it does sell well.

Part 4 is also the only JoJo part that takes place in Japan with an entirely Japanese cast of characters except for one. But apparently it's not even being filmed in Japan so gently caress it whatever sure

Death Note is great and arguably better than the show (has a better ending at least)

Does the Death Note movie immediately end after L dies.

Because if it doesn't, then it's exactly as lovely as Death Note.

The movies moved the whole bit where Near tricks Light into revealing he's Kira to just after L's death, where he gets the glory instead for revealing Kira's identity, so the movies are pretty much an adaptation of the good half of Death Note.

I am on the episode where Casshern meets a new robot that says he is beautiful and then later tries to kill and devour him, the little girl was in it and she hugged him and then he murdered loads of innocents. I think someone says "Cashawwwwwwwwwwwwwn" in it.

I'm a sucker for the kind of retro style it's doing and it's bleak and hopeless without being grimdark :shobon: The [strike]fights[/strike]murders are neat too

Yes, they do. It's awesome, and I think they're the best version of Death Note for exactly that reason.
