I would highly recommend the 2006 deaths note films.
I found the manga and anime to have too many side stories. Fans of them love these near miss stories, but I found them like a bunch of dead ends.
The double feature is well made and much more focused on the core story, imho
They're not dead ends per se because their purpose is growing the characters and revealing more of them to the audience. The movie streamlines and speed runs all that, for better or worse.
