Netflix’s ‘Death Note’ Was Whitewashed Because Asian Actors Couldn’t ‘Speak Perfect English’
I’m not surprised. These people that make the decision to greenlight a show want more viewership. And they want the viewers to look like them. This Netflix movie gonna flop big time! ANME FREAKS ARE SOME SERIOUS FANS!
Reacting to accusations of whitewashing, one of the producers of Netflix’s “Death Note” remake claimed that the roles actually could have gone to Asian actors. This didn’t happen, however, because apparently, the casting team couldn’t find an Asian actor who can “speak perfect English.”

Boruto Episode 1 Review
Naruto Shippuden ended its 10 year run in Japan on March 23 of this year and with that end comes a new beginning. That new beginning is in the form of Naruto’s son Boruto Uzumaki and the new anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
As an introduction episode it does a really good job at introducing some of the kids from the Konoha 11. You can tell that Masashi Kishimoto is trying his hardest to make Boruto his own person and not a clone of his father.
The character Denki seems interesting as well as he will be attending the ninja academy not to be a ninja, but to study ninjutsu.
I would say that the first season or so will probably focus on their time in the academy as well as Boruto’s strained relationship with Naruto since he can’t be around as he’s now Hokage.
It’ll be interesting to see how their time in the academy will unfold even though we can take a guess on what the results will be as far as them become ninja.
I think this series is worth giving a chance and I’m looks forward to seeing the second episode. For those who want to check out the episode check it out on Crunchyroll.com or Viz.com which will start premiering episodes April 12th.
Anime To Watch: Assassination Classroom
If you ever wanted to look around for any feel good anime this is definitely one of them.
Assassination Classroom tells the truth of Koro Sensei, a biologically engineered life form that agrees to teach Classroom of students from Kunugigaoka Jr. High known as E-Class for one year before blowing up the earth.
Because of this, not only does Koro Sensei teach these students but they must train themselves to learn how to assassinate their teacher before the year is up to save the world.
E-Class is considered the bottom of the barrel at this junior high as most believe that nothing good will come of the students that are sent there. However through the teachings and kindness of Koro Sensei, the students learn that they’re more than just low ranking students and that they can achieve anything they put their mind to.
This series has a good balance of action, comedy, and drama mixed in together. I’ve never seen an episode of this show that I consider boring or pointless. There are definitely a lot of life lessons that you see throughout this series. In a way it reminds me of an anime version of Boy Meets World with Koro Sensei as Mr. Feeny. All of the characters are interesting and unique in their own way and you really root for them to do well in life despite their circumstances.
For anime fans and even non anime fans I highly recommend this series, it’s well written, it’ll make you laugh and at times a little emotional. Check it out on Funimation, Crunchyroll, or buy the series on DVD!
Former “Attack On Titan” Editor Arrested For Wife’s Murder
The Tokyo Metropolitan police has just arrested Chonhyon Park on charges of homicide this Tuesday morning. 41-year-old Park is the assistant editor-in-chief of Kodansha‘s Morning magazine, and was an editor of the popular anime and manga series Attack on Titan manga series.
According to the Criminal Investigation Division, Park allegedly strangled his wife, 38-year-old Kanako Park, to death in the early morning on August 9, 2016 at their home in the Bunkyō ward of Tokyo. Later on at around around 2:45 a.m. that same morning, Park dialed 911 and told them that when he arrived home, he had found his wife unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs near an entrance to their home. She was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
In the report Park claimed that his wife killed her self by hanging but an autopsy report showed signs of strangulation around her neck. There was also security camera footage showing no signs of an intruder entering their home. The couple including their four children were home at the time of the incident.
Kodansha has stated that “Park maintains his innocence. We await the results of the investigation and are dealing with this incident with the utmost caution.”
It’s sad when you hear about people who are SUPPOSE to love and cherish one another killing one or the other. To top it off these four kids lost both parents not just one, one to murder and the other to the system. Hopefully justice is served quick for this scumbag.
Anime Review: Prison School
If you ever decide to look at funny slice of life type anime for an older audience this is definitely the show for you. I stumbled upon the Prison School a few months ago and im happy to say I am glad i gave this a chance.
To give a brief synopsis the anime tells the story of 5 high school boys who enroll at an all girls school. After getting caught peeping in the girls locker room, they are sentenced to spend one month in the school prison.
When it comes to comedy and overly exaggerated drama, this show has it down pat. I can honestly say that this will go down as one of my favorite anime ever.
You definitely feel the boys’ pain when you see them enduring the abuse from their fellow female classmates, however you’ll definitely have a laugh at their pervertedness also. With this being said this anime is definitely NOT for kids so parents who either watch anime or know their kids watch anime, steer them clear away from this because it definitely has strong language and a some nudity and slot of sexual humor.
It’s a short series consisting of only 12 episodes however there is a manga version and a potential chance that it can get a second season.
With that being said, Prison School, check it out on either FunimationNow or but it on DVD, I guarantee you it’s worth the watch!
Boruto Anime To Premiere In April
Well it seems like the Naruto franchise flame is still burning because a new series will be premiering in the near future. How ever instead of Naruto Uzumaki being the main focus, it will tell the tale of his son, Boruto Uzumaki.
Entitled Boruto: Naruto Next Generations the series will take place 15 years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi War telling the tales of Boruto and his teammates.
I find this interesting seeing is how Masashi Kishimoto the series creator, plans on making this series even better than Naruto. All i have to say is, with that statement this series will be pretty interesting. By that I mean this series can be really successful or it can be a complete disaster. For now only time will tell and hopefully Naruto Shippuden will be over before it premieres because it will be weird watching both series together.
