So yeah, I watch Anime and read Manga, but should a Christian like me really do that?

[QUOTE="Alistair_Wonderland, post: 74444122, member: 408856"] Rule of thumb: if the Bible doesn't directly condemn something, then the only people saying it's wrong are people following man's rules, not God's. Also, I apply my same rules of non-judgmental treatment to fictitious characters as well as real people. A good show will try and create realistic characters, and while Japan may have a lot of things that promote other religions, homosexuality, and other things that Christians disagree with, they are not overcome with the need to be "politically correct", nor are they theophobic, and can at times approach these issues with a realistic approach that covers the complexities of such things without promoting a certain viewpoint. My brother is a fan of an anime-esque game series which, in America, portrayed one character as a lesbian in an unquestioned positive light, but the Japanese version had a more complicated view where her father disagreed with her life choices, and neither side was villainized or adulated. So anime can actually be better for you to watch than some American shows. Also, anime is an art style, not a genre, so just because a show has characters with big, pug-like eyes and severely over-dramatic personalities doesn't mean that they're in the same bucket with those creepy anime shows. (Cue somebody debating that anime is a genre or something. Sorry, I don't watch a lot of anime, other than RWBY, Miraculous Ladybug, and Danny Phantom.) [/QUOTE]
