China Death Note Problem Appears on National TV

I never expected the Death Note incidents to become such a huge issue in China, but my thoughts are, unless children are actually murdering the people whose names they write in the Death Note or are attempting to, then there really isn't a problem. If the parents really don't like what their children are doing, then perhaps they need to sit down and have a talk with their children about the difference between fantasy and reality rather than pointing fingers at Death Note. I want to know, really, what it is they are supposed to "shield" their children from, because if it's about murder and death, children are going to eventually see it sometime in their lives.

The ironic thing about the entire thing is that the main idea of Death Note is questioning whether or not killing any human being is ever justifiable.

They even exxagerated the real report!

Bastards!

lol i find this soo funny the fact that ADULTS are actualy scared but of what that the notebooks real lmao not a chance and its not like the kids are killing them as someone has already said.

now the report about someone murdering a person and cutting them to shreds so they cant be identifed and putting a note next to the victim saying Watashi wa Kira dess which means i am kira or something similar now that was something i found extramly hilarious yes sick byt hilarious

These people...well, those of you who live in asian families would know how asian parents exaggerate, actually make that adults. They always exaggerate. If they say death, then they would immediately say the Notebook is just bad. While its true that people who buy the notebook already know that its fake (u can't really kill pple by using the notebook), however, adults' main concern is that even the slightest thought of killing may be probable thru the interest of this notebook. Lastly, I agree that the adults are overexaggerating...as they always do, this is China we're talking about, they're quite strict about school at times.

LOL, the people in China must be on something. They've blown this entire thing way out of proportion. They should all lighten up. I can't wait to see what comes next!

I remember when I was a kid, they said the same thing about Transformers...

Okay, MAYBE Elementary school students fascinated by death and killing is a LITTLE overbearing, but this has sparked nationwide contraversy over nothing. Most of the people who have had these confiscated are old enough to know the difference between right and wrong and are doing this only as a fad. I am an american 8th grade student, and Death note is the 2nd most popular manga over here, I personally love it and carry a death note i bought on the internet. I write people's names in only as a way of calming myself after something pisses me off. It's not lie because of this, somebody will die, or even be injured at all. LIGHTEN UP YOU FREAKING HYPOCRITES.

I have noticed how people(Officers, teachers, and students alike) have been doing things like this for years, i have looked into diffrent animes and saw that a young boy had died from being submerged in sand, aperently it was a recreation of 'gaara' from 'naruto', things like this has been going on ever since Anime had been intodused to north amarica and had spead across the globe, so i wouldn't take this to heart, but i have also noticed how almost all populer anime has at least one of these things that parents find evil about them, so really it's a falttery, not an insult or reason to stop reading or watching. The truth is, our parents just want to protect us, if you don't like it simply ask them to lay off, you are old enough to know whats right, and whats wrong. What's real and what not. Just so you know, i'm a 13 year old, 8th grafe, canadain Girl. yes, a Female L in waiting.
