    The live action will be out next month (April 21).
    Here are things to expect
    1.The Yuno you know in the manga and anime is a re-imagining version in the Drama.
    2.Yuki isn't in the Drama but he is a new Diary user named Hoshino Arata.
    3. Yuno's name is changed to Yuno Furusaki.
    4.Masaki Okada will be Hoshino Arata and Ayame Gouriki will be Yuno.

    Are these changes bad? Of course not. It would be boring if it was made exactly like the manga with no originality.

    For those of you worried about Yuno's character.
    Here is the plot of the Drama
    Here are some teasers ^-^

    Ohh, this does look interesting.

    I'm kind of interested in how they do this in live action. I mean, with all the action sequences and buckets of blood, it seemed to only make sense in animated form. I'm looking forward to this though.

    And I like how they're having their own take with things, even if it's just changing the names. If they change the story up a bit too, I'd like to see how they interpret it. She doesn't look like my first choice for Yuno, but they picked her for a reason.

    Do you know if this is going to stream on Crunchyroll or something like that?

    People at Crunchyroll have been begging non-stop for them to stream it in the Drama section.
    I really hope they do it.

    Okay, hopefully they do.

    I know that FUNimation currently holds the rights for the anime to be legally streamed. Maybe they'll do it for the live action show too? Maybe?

    I don't think so, the live action for Ouran High School Host Club has ended months ago and they still haven't licensed it :(
    I find it annoying when people say "OMG! This person doesn't look like so and so!". I agree with you they pick people for a reason. I hate the character L from Death Note and person who plays him in the live action movies played him very well including Tetsuya Fujiwara (Light) and Erika Toda (Misa).

    I'm not sure how to feel about this. I have seen the trailers you have provided with me, but it doesn't give much insight on how it's going to be. And I never saw the death note live actions, but they didn't look all that captivating to me. But we will see how this goes.

    eh, they're actually really good. I personally love the Death Note Live-action films, especially the 3rd one, even though it doesn't follow the manga/anime.
    But I'm kinda worried about this. I hope they don't completely mess it up. I mean, they've got a lot to put into just one movie.

    I decided to give it a watch. To sort of continue the conversation, anime/manga seem to have awkward transactions whenever they're going into live action. It was awkward with Death Note, as well as Usagi Drop (saw the movie today and very much enjoyed it). There are just some things that anime can get away with that live action has trouble doing.

    Mirai Nikki suffers from that as well. I like the changes it has, and I thought it was really interesting for the pilot. However, I kept wondering if they were actually going to leave out stuff about Deus and Murmur half way through the episode. Those two are so important to the story, but they just don't seem to fit in this world that they created. It all appears to work well so far, and I want to see where they are going to take this story. We've already seen how the anime told it, so it would be a bit dull to see the exact same thing in live action. I'd like to see what roads they decide to take.

    So I finally got around to finish this and...
    in the anime I didn't gave a shi- to Yuno nor Yuki however in this version it made me gave a shi- to Yuno and Arata. The ending is so much better than the anime. This is why I prefer live actions more than the anime adaption due to the fact that they put in realism in it and not keep in the childish stuff. Thank you Japan!
    If you want to watch it go here.
