What should be considered canon for the Death Note series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, there are many things that are considered to be part of the Death Note lore. There's the original manga, the anime, live action Japanese movies, a stage play, light novels, and the American live action adaptation that shouldn't exist. But, how much of these should actually be considered canon? I personally believe things that follow the original feelings of the stories and characters should be considered canon. For example, the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases novel. Even though it wasn't written by the original creators, it still has the same feel. The characters are the same, and nothing feels out of place. Of course the original manga should be considered canon as well, along with anything the original creators make for it. The anime should also be considered canon, too. However, other things that don't really fit the original story shouldn't be considered canon. Anything that has the characters acting differently or anything that doesn't follow the original story isn't really Death Note at all anyways. Unless they build off of the original with their own story and characters. In which case, that should be considered canon unless the creators say otherwise. Either way, I suppose it's mostly up to personal opinion. These are mostly just my thoughts on this topic, anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
