The Bet of Knowledge≡The popularity of the Death Note anime attracted many
The popularity of the Death Note anime attracted many children who wished to have their own notebook like the one in the anime, to write down the names of people they hated. Although no real death note has been found in real life, this anime has already left its mark, as many students created their versions and named them after their classmates, which was not well received by parents and schools. Therefore, the anime was banned in China. In 2015, a case in Connecticut, United States, caught the attention of the police when a student made his own notebook and wrote down the names of all his classmates. Also, at a school in Fukushima, a teacher had to apologize for threatening to use a notebook to control student behavior.

Based on the manga by Tsugumi Ohba, released in 2003, Death Note is directed by Tetsuro Araki and has 37 episodes. The story follows Light Yamagami, who finds a lost death note of the shinigami Ryuk.
