Anime and Christianity

I found a neat little blog this week. They have taken a refreshing and very real look at Japanese anime/manga and how it relates with Christianity, which is absolutely needed at a time when American youth are falling head over heels into the world of Japanese anime without the knowledge to avoid inappropriate sub-genres of the industry that have been slowly seeping their influence into mainstream series.

As with any genre of entertainment, there are anime and manga series that, while not produced from a Christian mind-set or world view, present a well-developed and intelligent story with unique, relatable characters. And then there are series that present an amazing story and vibrant characters... along with themes, scenes or images that are not wholesome or are completely a-moral, as is the case with many, many anime series. It’s a constant battle for the Christian viewer to be discerning.
