I'm curious about this anime, but my 17-year-old brother told me not to watch it. Should I watch it anyway?

I started watching Death Note when I was 14. When the English dub aired on Adult Swim it was rated TV-14, so if you've seen M rated anime, I don't see why there would be a problem. It's a very dark series and it can be bloody, but it's one of my preferiti and I would recommend it.

YES!!!!
I was curious about it too.Watched it...
I LUV IT!!!

That's all well and good that te have watched M rated animes, but there is a lot of content in that Anime that is pretty disturbing. I think it has also even encouraged mass murders in other countries as well.... Whether this is true o not though, your brother wanted te not to watch this Anime for a reason and I think te should respect his wishes. Though if te really want to watch it, ask him if he will watch it with you.

I'm 17 as well. Actually this anno is when I started getting into anime.
I think te should watch Death Note. It's my favorite~
I will tell you, there are some bloody moments. No gore, just blood.

OMG!! thats exactly what my bro told me! Hes 26 and im 13 so i can understand why...BUt i watched it anway xD

honetsly, its realy not that bad! theres alot wores out there, i watched it when i was 12, so im pretty sure te should be able to watch it :) & its a pretty good mostra aswell ^.^ so im sure youll enjoy it!

i read death note when i was 12.... I'm 14 now and i still Amore it!

It's amazing te really need to use your brain though it's extremely intelligent but that's what's so good about it :D

I'm 13. te should definitely watch Death Note, it's awesome! I Amore Leggere it too.

I'm fifteen and my b rother is 13 years older than me. He actually, half accidentally, half on prupose, got me on to anime. But he didn't know that I read/watch Death Note. So he sees it and says to me "Lady_Rebel, I thought te wouldn't like this." And I detto to him, "Halcyon, it's a battle of wits. I Amore battles of wits." And them Mom chimed in. We had a lovely discussion of Death Note. I don't see any reason why te shouldn't. Why don't te ask him why?

Note: We used our real names, not those stated here.

Sure, te just go and watch Death Note! It's really good and not at all a bad to watch at your age. Go for it!! te won't be sorry!

i'm 14 now but i'vee watched Death note when i was 11 o something (it was my first Anime ever)
my older siste told me to watch it (she was 23 years old)
and it's one of my favs animes ever ^_^
so i suggest te to watch it :)

I watched Death Note when I was 7, I think te should watch it. It was my first Anime and its really awesome.

would u really let age get in the way of watching anime?! (plz don't answer that)
Death Note is rlly good, i watched it last anno when i was 11, it was rlly rlly good~!

I'm sure you'd be fine to watch Death Note, I watched it when I was 12, its a great anime! ^ -^

I'm 13 now, but my friend told me about it when I was 10 and I read it when I was 11. I've been too lazy to watch the anime, but I don't see what's too bad, but your brother should now what's best, and take his consigli o watch it in secret.

I'm 12, I adore death note, then again, I enjoy watching darker things, horror Film and such, but it's not particularly bloody, I'm 15 episodes deep and hooked, and so far the worst I have seen is a guy getting hit da a car, even then te don't see his body. I wouldn't advise children to watch death note, I may be to young but I don't care, the shown has some mild swearing, damn and hell, but nothing too bad

So what happened? Did te watch it? There are just too many animes to enjoy meanwhile, then when you're older te can watch Death Note is what I think. It is pretty disturbing. Particularly the end parts. He might not watch it with te because he himself found it disturbing, so why should te have to go through that? Before all of this I was wondering if te minded spoilers so I could tell te what happens with the end to take away the harsh impact of it.
