Will Death Note ever get more content? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Death Note may have ended a long time ago, but it is still incredibly popular. However, it gets a bit boring re-watching and re-reading the same material over and over again. Of course there are others making new movies and plays and books, but none of them quite measure up to the original. Whenever anything containing the original characters, storyline, or anything similar comes out, fans flock to it like hungry little scavengers. They eat it all up and use it to further theorize and create new things for the fandom. So, it goes without saying that a new Death Note series made by the original creators would be massively successful. Even the most recent one-shot went over extraordinarily well, and the only original characters it contained were Ryuk, Near, and the other SPK members. I think it's safe to say the original creators wanted to add more to the series for fans, but they may have also wanted to see if it would be accepted. With all of the failed attempts at adding to the franchise, it's easy to see that the Death Note fandom took a massive hit. But as soon as the original creators came back, the fandom gained another jump start. No one expected to see more content this much later, so it was a massively successful surprise. Because of this, if the original creators came back for more, it would be amazing. It would most likely see success, and it would be nearly guaranteed to receive an anime adaptation as well. However, this isn't likely. The one shots we've received have never gotten animated as an extension of the series. They would most likely only contain enough for one or two extra episodes, but I'm sure people would have liked them anyways. There just isn't enough to revive the series. With the release of the newest one shot, people were scrambling in hopes for a season two of Death Note. But it seems like the creators just want to focus on their new projects now. I'm sure the new series are just as good as Death Note, but it's still a bit disappointing. We may get another one shot in the future, but I don't think we'll ever get another series out of it. It's so unfortunate too, because there are so many things you could do with a series like this. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. A part of me really hopes I'm wrong about this, since I'd love to see what they could do with the Shinigami and Near and the amazing world they've created. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
