I'm in 7th grade but kids in the chinese classes are like babies. (Im in China right now) You wouldn't even dare to think what the kids here are like. & they've not only banned Death Note, they've banned Youtube too! (*sob*I'm missing my favorite shows...*sob*) What's wrong with Death Note! I mean it's just fake! Banning stuff should be left to kids parents to decide not gorvernments. Even if they ban it bad people (kids) will continue to do bad stuff. I don’t like how the Chinese gorvernment are teaching teens. I’m in 7th grade but kids in the chinese classes are like babies.

I'm a death note fan, and I'm just sad they have to ban it. Death Note is a great entertainment and it also makes youthink about what is good and evil, not like other anime. DEATH NOTE TEACHES US SOMETHING GOOD. It's the point of view of readers/watchers, however, if it's good and bad. It's my opinion. But really, I'm 13 and I don't believe some fictional stuff I see. If the children there have such credulity and being influenced by the bad stuff they see, why don't the government just educate the children about it? Like, you know, "That's not true so don't believe it. It's just made up and meant for entertainment. If you see them killing others... don't do that, it's bad" Well…. I’m a death note fan, and I’m just sad they have to ban it.

Well, not the supernatural "shinigami" and death stuff, but people being punished for having "Death Notes". It's like the people are "Kira" and the police are after them...

Learn the facts first of all, then try to say something. Seriously, this is stupid, horror stories don't destroy children's minds. They are merely stories, like any others. You might as well ban Shakespeare because it was sex and murder. Stories increase your imagination and help children. If your phyche is too week to handle these types of things, then don't read them. You can't put children in a bubble, and have them grow up now knowing fictional horrors, not even going to being to mention actual horrors. If they can't handle fictitious ones, how are they going to handle real ones? They'll never make it in the real world. They need to learn to cope, if any coping is need, because really, come on, it's JUST a story, it's not real. Get over it. The books are mainly about ghosts??

China is definitely a hit-and-miss country, they're open to a few things, but closed to others.... and the paradox of their new wealth brings up more questions than answers. Meanwhile the arts will get stomped on. Death Note is pretty damn good. A shame those folks will have to resort to illegal means. I wonder if they've banned the Anime series, as well? There's so many ways to snag it off the Internet - however even that is curbed in China. Very interesting.
