Hmm, although that's sort of true, it's a bit harsh. Gay sex? What have you been watching? Sure, they have genres of anime just like they have genres of real movies. So some are cleaner than others. IMO, American shows tend to have worse morals. But yes, many newer animes do often overstate body features which is annoying. But it's usually because they lack a good story so they try to make up for it by sex-appeal or sexual humor.I actually disagree with a lot of material that is usually portrayed in anime. Panty flashes, large breasts, gay sex, hentai....Japanese in general have questionable morals (like 90% or more of their nation is ATHEIST!) Did you know they have a national penis day? Why support people like that? It's entertaining, I used to obsess over anime like Death Note, but it always led to a fan base full or fanshipping and yaoi. I've pretty much quit with watching anime and reading manga after several years of loving it.
I mean, of course they are not Christian shows. There are very few entertaining purely Christian shows out there. And it's crazy to label Japanese as penis day celebrating atheists. I know many Japanese people and they are some of the kindest, most polite, most humble people I have ever known. Unlike Americans, they don't ever talk about crude or sexual things in public and they aren't nearly as selfish. Of course they aren't Christian, but few people in the world are. That doesn't mean we should despise them. Although I can understand how creepy otakus can scare you away.
But if you feel convicted to not watch any more anime, then that is fine. But maybe you've just only seen some of the grosser/weirder animes. I can recommend you some good, clean ones to prove it's not all bad if you're willing.

.. its just how we perceive things.. if you believe that anime is a tool of Satan.. then you must have a bad faith... even anime can teach us something crucial in our life.. it can teach us about the something that we should believe in our life, such as belonging, how much God has suffer just for us who do bad things called "sin".. anime also teach us that even if we have disappoint God with repeatedly... God does not ever think of given up of us... if your son watch anime called "Naruto" and now he thinks that it's cool to hurt people.. then it is your responsibility to straighten your son's thought. You think on what purpose God give every child a parent? That is to clarify every misunderstood thoughts that dwell within the child heart.. if you watch anime.. there are two possibility that you might encounter, you might misunderstood the meaning of anime or you might learn something from it.. if you watch "Naruto" you might find that there is something that we can learn from it... that is when Naruto save people... using his words.. this means that bad people also can change their heart and become a good people.. even God once said that the people in I dont know what verse it is in and the full story but one thing for sure... God saved the people that used to pray to different god through the one that was eaten by whale... there are many things that we can take/learn from anime.. dont just look the bad side of it just because your son misunderstood what it means... because at the end of the day... we learn something from anime... once there was a person who said that "DONT JUST JUDGE THE BOOK FROM ITS COVER, BECAUSE YOU WONT KNOW WHAT IS INSIDE IT BEFORE YOU READ IT"
