Should Christians Watch ANIME?

Anime is loved by many around the world and some Christians have asked if they're allowed to watch it. While the Bible doesn't explicitly state that anime is or isn't allowed, there's biblical wisdom that we can use to help us reach a conclusion. In this video we explore the question "Should Christians Watch Anime" and how it can be consumed in a way that doesn't hinder spiritual growth.

[@HattaTHEZulZILLA86]

You just need to remember ONE simple rule: DO NOT be too absorbed by things like this. It's fine to just give your brain a break but NEVER be too obsessed with it.

Id like to think God used this to speak in a way I would understand him better so much so that it blew my mind when I read in John 6:20 in the NLT and Christ says “Don’t be afraid. I am here!” which is almost word for word what Allmight says.

I think every Christian, weather an anime fan or not, should watch Vinland Saga. It teaches love and forgiveness and how you can move on even when people have taken everything from you. The “love your enemies” quote from Jesus is literally in the show. It actually changed my outlook on life and helped bring me much closer to God. The first season is all about anger and revenge, but it also shows how those things only lead to destruction, and the second season is all about how to forgive and move on from your past. 10/10 would recommend. Can’t wait for season three.

[@aahhhhhhhhhhhhh]

[@thesubarctic4860]

You’re not alone. I stopped watching Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss. Helluva Boss/Hazbin is rather inaccurate and comes from Vivziepop’s flawed understanding of the Bible. Not only that, but good is lampooned to the point of being a Walmart supervisor, uncaring for those who sinned. Not only that but Blitzo and his gang swear so much and it’s unnecessary. Overall the show’s writing is bad and I decided to jump ship.

Yes it is the same for me! We grow a sense of discernment as our relationship with Christ grows. The truth is even in non anime media you can’t escape the portrayal of sin. However it as Paul says ”Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.“ ‭‭(Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ) It is better for us to surround our selves with things that are good for us. I find that certain genres do not appease me anymore like Harem, or Demons and such. And sometimes it’s the plot that promotes (instead of condemning) sinful things like murder and sexual immorality. Sometimes it’s even single moments in the show. At the end of the day we should listen to the convictions of the Holy Spirit. In our media and in our day to day. Stay away if we can, but most importantly constantly delve into the Word so that the Devil is not able to get a foothold on us through the things we watch

[@DeusExNihilo]

I've noticed that a lot of anime contain esoteric spiritual ideas, both of the eastern and western religions. In a lot of ways anime was my introduction to spirituality outside of mainstream Christianity. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, for example, pulls a lot from Alchemy, Hermeticism, and Kabbalah. Many shows have Buddhism and Shintoism baked in (naturally, since anime comes from Japan, where those are the main religions) I hadn't really questioned Anime's impact on me spiritually in this regard, but my investigation of those things have grown over the years. It really just dawned on me, watching this video, that when it comes to the "food sacrificed to idols" and things that will cause people to stumble, I think our current Christian society focus almost exclusively on sexual content.

[@gabrielkawa3477]

Yeah, that's one of my biggest struggles for sure.

[@babyt556]

Yup when honestly I think if someone isn’t as spiritually guarded and knowledgeable in area or solid in the faith (because a lot of us are still babes in the faith and can be swayed by the slightest influence) should stay away from anime that includes those elements blatantly. I know kids who watched anime and started doing yoga poses and had to nip it in the bud because they didn’t know any better and one of the popular anime which is jjk is not for everybody because of how heavy it deals with bhuddism and the occult. I myself am having a battle of whether or not I want to continue watching it because while the content isn’t having an influence on me I know the Bible also speaks on staying away from all appearance of evil which I’m okay if I have to cut it off. And I do take breaks because I always love stories of obvious good vs evil but the good characters also displaying mercy to those even their enemies like MHA. But this video was on point especially with the idolatry. Social media and anime are a big problem for people because it can easily become an idol and people not realize it

[@HardHeadtfreviews2008]

Naruto can fit into many of those categories, there’s clear Hindu inspiration from the whole reincarnation thing and a few elements from Bible stories aswell

[@XxX-c13]

Buddhist folkores, philosophy and mystics are driving concepts in famous shonen and seinen anime. Shonen like Dragon ball, Naruto,one piece and bleach are majorly based on buddhism. Aizen myoo is actually a god of wisdom in buddhism (and Hinduism). Berserk and vagabond are also based on Buddhism

[@cutie3638]

Exactly. As I've grown in my faith, there are certain anime I no longer watch. Mainly shows that romanticize demons. I watched Inuyasha when I was younger but it's something I no longer watch now.

I suggest “my roommate is a cat” it’s a comedy about a reclusive author who adopts a cat as inspiration for his next book but soon finds himself outside his comfort zone as he has to awkwardly interact with new people in order to care for his new companion. It’s a very sweet and very wholesome anime. Also you shouldn’t have to worry about triggers as the character designs are very modest with no revealing clothing. Also the episodes will alternate between telling the same scenarios once from the author’s point of view and then the cat’s point of view.

Thanks for covering this topic. For the last year or so, I had to stop watching anime because the ones I was watching were causing me to sin.

I ended up in a really bad place mentally and hated myself every time I would be stuck in that sin cycle. But praise be to God that recently, I have been set free from that cycle, and have slowly and more carefully getting back into anime again. Japan became a part of my life when I started learning their language and culture. And I'm so thankful Jesus has given me a renewed healthy relationship with the country and its culture.

The anime, _Spy family,_ is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the anime world. It would be a stretch to say that it has *any* sexual themes. I think that it is a show that could be watched by all Christians. Plus, it’s a piece of modern media that is a direct proponent of the nuclear family. How rare!

[@rubemartur8239]

that anime was critized by lgbt-otakus, to see how good and familty centred the anime is.

[@tayh.6235]

Spy x Family is delightful. My husband and I love it because it's just sweet and fun. The only objections I can think of are that the father and mother are a spy and an assassin so there is some violence although nothing too over the top and that the mother's outfit when doing assassinations is a tad more revealing than some people might be comfortable with if there are young children watching. I would recommend it to anyone though to at least give it a try.

[@ame5445]

This past year, I came to the realization that these mediums of entertainment had become a sort of idol in my life, and I felt compelled to throw it all away because it was causing distractions and I never wanted to read the bible even though I knew I should. I threw away all my posters and anything I felt was an "idol" or "icon." I'm really glad I made that decision. I've since been able to listen to audio books and read the bible on my phone as well as my study bible, I've read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John probably six plus times at this point. Looking forward to reading more of the other books as well. I also got a prayer journal a few days ago and now I've got a daily activity to look forward to!

Overconsumption of anything isn't healthy.

Give it up for a few days or a week, read the bible, or do something that will relax you. Then come back to it and enjoy anime. Anime isn't a way of life like many would have you believe, it's just a form of entertainment. It's all it is, to entertain.

I love your perspective on this! Thanks! When I gave my life to Jesus, I stopped watching secular shows, movies, and anime, and dedicated my life to following Him and ministry. I went years just focusing on the Word and going to church, but deep down I yearned for it. I was praying one time and somehow, anime music from shows I used to love started playing in my head. After much prayer and “permission from God,” I watched the video. The lyrics were very deep and profound. I saw a few anime music videos and it really encouraged me. Then my wife came to me with some hard questions an hour or so later. The amazing thing was the lyrics addressed her question and she was in tears. Then she followed it up with another question and it was addressed by the next video. It was so awesome to see God ministering to me and my wife in such an unconventional way that she and I could relate to. Thanks again for your insight. God bless:)

[@ms.random2953]

I normally don't comment on many videos, but this really helped me. Though I don't watch anime (much, I barely know any), I've been questioning what shows I can watch - Danny Phantom, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, some sitcoms, things like that. I never felt away from God with these shows because I either knew they were fake or I didn't enjoy the lewd jokes (in one certain sitcom). I also write novels and I've been questioning if I can even write/watch fantasy. This helped answer both of these questions. While I'd figured some things out before through prayer and looking, this gave me a direction and more solid answer than some articles/people. I've started infusing Christian roots and themes within my stories while still keeping the fantasy/magic aspect. Thank you! God bless! ❤ Edit: If you see this, thank you for the heart! I do want to add that this video has erased a lot of my anxiety, especially with the mention of Marvel. I'd seen one article that said we couldn't watch Disney. Seeing the list of things you watch was really helpful. I thought I was doing something wrong by watching Marvel, Danny Phantom, TMNT, and things like that. Now I know it's on the person and their walk with God. I can watch the sitcoms as long as it doesn't push me toward sin. This really, really helped.

This is such a well grounded video. I was nervous when I first clicked because I thought it was just going to discourage anime completely but I'm thankful that you took looked at it with a "food to idols" mindset. I had avoided anime for the longest time because I thought it was purely demonic and sexual but I've just started getting into it and while there are some that are definitely some that have a lot of fan service and some with supernatural or demonic themes that I avoid, there are many with heroic characters, ethical dilemmas, life themes, and important lessons that I've learned from. Anime is honestly just a really good way for me to bond with my brother and learn tips as a writer. But I never want to put it in place of God or have it take up all my time. I'm praying that God will give me guidance and discernment while watching anime and that it won't become an idol in my life (because as much as I enjoy anime my identity is in Jesus and I'd like to keep it that way) Thanks so much for the video you're a really neat creator and I'll definitely check out more of your content.

I didn't expect to learn much from this video because I don't watch anime, or much of anything for that matter. I was simply curious when this popped up in my recommendations. However I do play videogames. And this video kinda confirmed something I had wondered myself about when it comes to video games and media in general. That we can learn important lessons through stories. I recently started playing Final Fantasy XIV with some friends, and I find myself often thinking to myself about biblical parallels I can make. I've played through several expansions of the game and it's typically classic light hearted fantasy stories, of course they have their emotional ups and downs. The most recent expansion I finished I had a moment where I had to step away from the game however. As a Christian I know demons are real, and I'm not afraid of them because I know God is on my side. However I do still get mild anxiety attacks when I see something "supernatural" in media. This latest expansion I played dropped a scene like that without warning. And those scenes are to me knowledge almost non existent in the franchise... I don't know how to describe it but I tried not to even look, from what little I did see it felt evil... And I questioned at that moment if I should just drop the game all together. Despite having an accumulated several hundred hours in story where e nothing like that happened. In the end I pushed through and the expansion never did a scene like that again. But it still didn't sit right with me. I kinda rambled for a bit there. My point was supposed to focus on the fact that throughout this darker than average themed story I tend to keep my eye on God. Idk if any of this makes sense... I've never been good at explaining my thoughts. I Guess to put it simply, I've learned a lot of lessons from stories in my life. Sometimes it's not about the story being told, but the way you respond to it. Does this make sense?... Idk, thanks for your time. And thanks for the video :)

I used to watch anime when I was younger but honestly, I made television an idol, including anime. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find an anime that actually has themes that glorify God (but Studio Ghibli movies are probably your best bet) simply because the amount of violence and erotic material overwhelms those otherwise wholesome themes. Everybody is different, but honestly, I feel as if television and film in general is incredibly difficult to watch as a believer, if you're going all in on faith.

While Vinland Saga certainly has a lot of period appropriate violence as it's set in the age of the Vikings, it does not glorify violence and the main character has to go on a journey of letting go of the desire for revenge and learning that violence should only be a last resort for defense. Very Christian in theme and when Christianity shows up in the story, it's generally shown pretty favorably which was a nice surprise.
