While the crime committed here is heinous and it's disheartening to see it linked to one of the more eagerly anticipated anime series this year, one thing we have to keep in mind: the person who committed these crimes was demented enough to kill someone, something that doesn't come from being influenced by a series of fiction. It reminds me of a line from the movie "Scream":

I don't think DN can be blamed for being some psycho's "inspiration". And I personally think some of us would be more concerned about the actual murders then weather or not this would affect the American release of the show.

If I find humor in all of this, does that make me a bad person?

Yes, but that doesn't mean there aren't any liberals. 
Well, hopefully this will stay under the American media's radar. I'd hate to see this story on Hardball or The O'Reilly Factor. And when they catch whoever did this, I hope they draw and quarter him. |

I have sources which indicate that the entire country of Belgium is gonna be a big televised broadcast to call out Kira, using a prisoner in disguise as an ICPO agent. |

If it gets on The O'Reilly Factor, I'll be the first to e-mail Bill and tell him he's being an idiot and he should look into the plot of the story. (in a nicer, intelligent way.  ;; ) My dad's a big fan of his, and while I'm more neutral on him, he DOES occasionally admit when he was wrong--hopefully he'd have the honesty to do so if we caught him on this story.

Most EU nations take a page from our own home state, and have banned the savage practice of the death penalty, Michigan being the first western government to ban such. While the killer is messed up on the head the state has no right to take the killers life. -Gabe |

this is so very ironic , when you consider that this is what Kira really does , he kills bad guys . |

He didn't just kill bad guys, not by a long shot.

Holy crap. That is messed up. Well, crazy killers gotta read something. Seriously, correlation doesn't equal causation, folks. Plus just because someone read a book and went an killed someone doesn't mean you ban a book. Hell, they still teach Catcher in the Rye in schools even after the whole John Lennon assassination.
Wow. You can take anything to whine about how your fansubs are better than legit releases, can't you? You just took a fictional situation to justify your illegal downloads. Nothing has been canceled and you're already using the hypothetical cancellation of Death Note as your personal justification for downloading fansubs. Someone's been murdered and all you can think about is your precious free downloads. What a leech you are. Anime doesn't need fans like you. Never mind that books are out anyway if you really want to see the story. Hell, I got all twelve volumes staring me in the face right here on a bookshelf next to my desk. Then again many comments in this thread have me sharking my head. I think some people here have trouble telling fact from fiction.
I hate to break it to you, but I'm sure there are some stupid selfish anime fans who do think like that. Last edited by The Xenos on Mon Oct 01, 2007 10:43 pm; edited 2 times in total |

And some people, like you, cannot tell facts from speculations: there is no hard evidence showing that suspects of the two Japanese ax murder cases had watched and mimicked Higurashi. Besides, even in this Belgian case, the murderer could have been using "Watashi wa Kira dess" as a diversion to mislead investigators. |
