Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well. ;)

Lately I've been becoming more passionate in my life as a Christian, which made me wonder about one of my other interests. Anime.

For those of you who may not know it's basically Japanese animation, so kind of like cartoons :p

I know that anything is bad when put before God and I would certainly like to cut down the amount of time I spend watching it. However I'm wondering whether it would be wrong to watch anime at all.

I make sure not to watch any extremely nasty stuff, but some of the anime I watch has dark elements to it. There's violence here and there, death, some bad language scattered throughout. I find myself watching for the intriguing plots, clever action sequences, good triumphing over evil. There are also some solid positive themes in anime. Friendship, believing in yourself etc.

So what are your thoughts? I'm just curious and wondered whether I should be careful. Thanks for any of your time! :D

I abhor anime and manga. But that's just personal opinion. Outside of that I would say there's nothing inherently bad with it. But, as you pointed out, you have to be quite leery of what you watch/read as some of it gets quite bad.
