Recently, a sad incident in Bengaluru has made people talk again about how entertainment, especially anime Death Note, can affect young people. Anime is a Japanese cartoon that tells stories about creativity, feelings, and life lessons. It can be fun and inspiring, but just like movies, video games, or books, it can have good or bad effects.
This depends on how often it’s watched, what kind of stories it shows, and how the viewer understands them.
What This Case Is About
In this case, a 14-year-old Class 7 student from Bengaluru died by suicide at his home. Reports say he often watched the Japanese anime Death Note and had even drawn one of its characters on his bedroom wall. A note was found in which he wrote about his love for his family and his regret for what he was about to do.
Police are checking if the anime had any influence on his decision and are also looking through his phone for more information.
His family said they had not noticed any major problems in his behavior before this happened. Friends also shared that he seemed normal in recent days. The sudden loss has left his loved ones in shock, and the community is struggling to understand what could have led to such a tragic decision.
Sadly, this is not the first time such worries have come up. In many countries, some young people have been harmed after being influenced by TV shows, games, or comics. Most enjoy these safely, but a few may misunderstand them, especially when feeling troubled. This has led to global talks about responsible media use and parental guidance.

A Positive Way Forward
It is important to understand that anime, like any other kind of story, is not bad by itself. Many shows teach friendship, courage, hard work, and kindness. Millions of people enjoy anime and feel inspired by it. The answer is not to ban or blame but to create awareness.
Parents can talk to children about what they watch, schools can teach them to understand media better, and mental health help should be easier to get. With open discussion and understanding, anime and other entertainment can remain fun, creative, and full of learning, not something that causes harm.
