Death report and The attack of the giants can they be viewed as violent souls? A Brazilian television station tried to answer this question with fierce criticism and baseless accusations, a phenomenon that sparked outrage on the web and exploded controversy on social networks. Here is what happened.

A program aired yesterday that heavily criticized anime, with extensive references to the titles mentioned at the beginning and others such as Tokyo Ghoul, accused of violence and "be a danger to teenagers". But to set off a real powder keg among social networks, the words were directed to Death Note, the signed series Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba.

The hosts shot zero on the series, pointing out that even those who buy franchise merchandise should be considered "People who actually want to kill people"Not only that, using the example of a 12-year-old girl who was startled by her friend who revealed that she had a Death Note, added one of the moderators:"It's an industry that benefits from testing parts of children's brains that cause stress and mental harm"Something like this, albeit on a smaller scale, happened some time ago in Russia, where the same Death Note and Tokyo Ghoul were banished from the nation.

And you mind, what do you think of these allegations, do they make sense or do they leave the time it takes to find them? Let us know what you think about this with a comment below.
