Today we will talk with you what this anime is and why they want to close it.
Death Note a fictional notebook from the manga of the same name. It is a weapon capable of killing people from a distance; it does not matter where the person using it is. The Death Note is a thing originally belonging to the Gods of Death. Using a notebook, the Gods of Death fulfill their main purpose - killing people. The origin of the artifact is unknown. The notebook is given to the Gods of Death from the hands of the King of Death. Each God of Death can be given only one notebook by the King, but the God of Death can have as many notebooks as he can get hold of.
The notebook rules say that there may be notebooks of different colors, however, in the manga, anime and films, only a black notebook was shown. Notebooks of different colors have the same effect.
On Ryuuk's notebook, the inscription "Death Note" was made in English in Latin, while on Rem's notebook this inscription was made in katakana. Ryuuk's notebook contained the first 5 rules, written in English. There were no operating instructions on Rem's notebook.
Why will the death note be banned in Russia?
Expert Oleg Erlikh said that only from the name of the anime "comes an indirect but sufficiently motivating effect on the child." He believes that this prompts children to think about suicide and is harmful to the psyche of adolescents. The specialist said that today's adolescents are developing more slowly and suggested increasing the age limit.
Expert Belov also doesn't like the name of the anime. “In this case, Death Note creates an interest in the topic of death, and this topic usually attracts people to an unstable psyche,” he said. Both experts came to the conclusion that the "Death Note" and "Inuyashiki" pose a threat to the psyche of children.
Judge Dmitry Nikulin satisfied the prosecutor's claim and banned the distribution of the anime Death Note and Inuyashiki in Russia. But we are talking about the banning of the pages of two sites with anime, which the prosecutor's office submitted to the court, says Mediazona.
So from this we can take into account that the anime "Death Note" is not completely banned in Russia. :)
