They also have the highest sells manga sells in there respective times and have been around for 10+ years as anime so they fall in the same category as most ghibli movies as far as fandoms go. Pokemon while it does have a manga that's more of a animated version of the game that fans like.
The problem with investing in a new long running show is that it'd be a much bigger loss if it fails to get much of an audience, running an unpopular show for 3-6 months is bad enough but if there's already a full year booked that means you're wasting a potentially good timeslot on a show nobody watches.
There's a Twin Star and a Beel for every Toriko and Fairy Tail (and even those last two both ended up being taken off air early despite their initial success, though Fairy Tail still has a chance of returning).
People always complain about Naruto, Dragon ball and One Piece being milked but Death Note has to be part of that list. It ended 11 years ago and yet still were getting continuous live action movies. To its credit it sells and what sells will get milked, simply as that.
Every magazine has at least one romance manga, Jump always had at least one as well so why all this complaint now? Did you discover recently that it could have romance as well? For Pete's sake.... You guys should stop whining and focus on the 19 other series that are not romance! I passed 5 years of Nisekoi publication saying for people that they should ignore the series if they didn't like it. It is like the series is committing a serious crime just for existing.
You understood my point, I doubt Jump didn't try to serialize a romance in a 3 year span, they had, a lot of them, they are always doing this since I came to this forum and they didn't even need it because they had Nisekoi. There was Magico before Nisekoi in 2011, To Love Ru is romance. lol
Jump has 48 years of history and had many romances throughout it history, not only the famous ones, they always tried to serialize this genre and there wasn't any problem since 2 months when you guys started with this bullshit.
It is one series! One!
If anything, having two series with romance elements is probably beneficial than detrimental to Jump right now. Yuragi is an ecchi comedy with romance elements and Benkyou is a rom-com with the occasional ecchi scenes. The two mangaka basically will have to now compete to stay in the magazine although at this point its more on the side of Benkyou to try to keep the story as interesting as possible as Yuragi has stable volume sales around 100k and also includes nipples to keep people buying those volumes. If the two stories compete, they will eventually have to try different things than just follow the basic rom-com structure otherwise the readers will lose interest and Jump will axe them.
For fans that knows the manga/anime, ok, maybe it'll be a disaster, but for those who never saw anything about Death Note before, can be a great chance to know about the world/story that surrounds the series. It'll probably be just one more Netflix movie (adaption) that will reach a lot of viewers and will bring new fans that will consume the show. Just like A Series of Unfortunate Events or something else like this.
It can be sold like just another typical Netflix movie, not necessarily a "japanese comic adaption". For example, we have Ghost in the Shell or Edge of Tomorrow movies. They aren't sold with "based in a japanese comic!" in big words, I have a lot of friends who loves Ghost in the Shell and none of them even know that's based on a manga, and this can be applied in Death Note's case.

Lol at people ignoring the director or the level of freedom Netflix has given its original content creators.
You can't just use studio butchered projects headed by already mediocre creative teams as examples for why this project might be crap.
