Watching anime isn't the problem. However, if we allow it take over our lives and be drawn into its mythology to the point were it becomes an idol, then that's when we need to break away from its overwhelming influence upon our daily life.

As a Christian I quit watching a lot of anime because demons, magic, sorcery, and adult themes are very common in a lot of animes. Just like any show we have to use holy discernment it’s rare to find animes that don’t feature these themes but there are some that don’t.

Im such a sucker for anime, but yea, discernment is key! Thank you Daniel for the video!

I used to watch anime alot, in fact I was calling myself weeb, I used to play lots of videogames that will take my mind and heart. When my relationship with Christ became closer, I started to shift gradually from does things, until eventually I stopped watching anime and barely play videogames. When I realise that I remembered when I said to myself "I will never stop watching anime". God is not aggainst you by watching, but He wants to spend time with you and He also wants you to be careful and mindful of what you watch! "Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life" -Proverbs 4:23 God bless❤

I actually grew up watching Sailor Moon and other series. Probably more than I care to admit. After I became born again and God drew me back to Him, I realized how much it took up my life over the years, and it all felt like a huge distraction and a waste of time. Anime could be used as a tool to reach the lost, though, in my opinion. Watching anime in my youth also got me into studying Japanese, so that experience wasn't all bad, I guess. I even lived in Japan for a couple years but have now been living in Korea for the past decade. So there was a purpose to it and it was in God's plan for me to get me to Asia, it seems.

Anyway, we are in the world, but not of the world. If we have much more passion for things like anime than we do for Jesus, perhaps we should examine our lives and ask the Spirit of God to lead us. Remember that the devil loves it when we are distracted.

I recommend Vindland Saga. It is a very Christian theme manga, doesn't start off as a Christian theme, but as the story progresses, the main protagonist finds himself learning about life.

Do not let Anime make you question the existence of God 💯 take in the good lessons of anime

[OMGALEXG]

Anime helped me see the trickery of the enemy: a lot of “evil” characters are religious and light figures and a lot of “good” characters have dark-demon like powers. 🧐

My anime watch list after becoming a Christian went from everything I could get my hands on to like three.

[FabledNarrative]

As a Christian, we need to be CREATING anime.
Change the culture, by creating compelling stories influenced by Christ.
(Lord of the Rings changed a generation or two.)

I watch anime but i dont make it a idol above the Lord

[andylee]

Thank you for your clarification. I'm newly converted Christian. This is very helpful😊 Ever since, I accepted Christ, I tried to reduce watching anime because I felt like it strived me away from being like Him. This truly opens my eyes that I need to avoid anything that could potentially lead us to sin.

[aestheticbae]

Anime has been a huge CONVICTION that the lord has given me, and I thank him that I'm able to stop watching certain anime because they lead me to sin and could have lead me to sin if i didn't obey him. There are some anime that I would like to watch but I don't want it to distract me (and sometimes it can be boring) so I reduce my intake of it and increase my intake of the word of God.

I NEEDED THIS VIDEO SO A 17YR TEENAGER THIS IS THE MOST COMMON TEMTATION AMONG KEEP ON MAKING VIDEOS ON SUCH INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT

[willtrigoso]

This is awseome DLM. Glad your channel was able to speak on on what the Lord says on Anime.

[kingsleyanimatorartist]

That was well preached! There are also some Christian animes but I think there are not that many, which is one of the reasons I am working on some animated Christian films if yall want to check them out.

[artificialsoundwaves]

Watching anime is not a sin. The context of anime can have anti-christian elements depending on what you're watching, but it all comes down to how you let it influence you. If anime causes you to sin, it's not the anime's fault. Accountability is a powerful thing, and we need to take ownership of that rather than blaming worldly things for our spiritual decisions.

[hellenkekana]

Thank you, I used to be so addicted to anime, but now with my walk with God I feel an uneasiness watching some of the shows....I started by skipping some parts and eventually stopped
You are right, there are a lot of incartations and evil references

i’m a christian but i would say that anime has helped me become a better person overall. naruto especially, it actually changed my life in a way. the theme throughout of never giving up inspired me to be more persistent in pursuing a relationship with God, which is something i’ve always struggled with. anime has never taken me away from God, it has never negatively affected me, honestly all that’s come from it are good things. i know it’s fiction and i don’t make it a priority, yet at the same time i’ve learned to take all the good things and apply them to my life. my favorite character actually did a lot in helping me find my way back to God after walking away from him. i was also able to grow closer to many people thanks to anime. i believe that it can be a gift from God if you watch the right ones and take the right meanings out of them.
