Article: Does Religion Wrong Anime?

DDDDaaaaaammmmm right,people shouldn't take things so seriously with their religous beliefs.

You bring up an interesting point.
Sadly, there are very religious people who will continue watching anime so they can find more faults with it and continue the bashing. Why they do it, I'm not sure.

I think you're right, sometimes religion does, my guess is that anime is mostly someone with " super powers" and people that follow Jesus, say that fighting is wrong, but i see y the would wrong anime.

Thanksfor the great comments, guys. However, please understand that i did not write this to bash faithful beliefs or anything. If one chooses not to watch anime based on what they believe, then that is their decision. However, it is also my decision to share some of my own feelings on the topic.

P.S-Faust VIII is right, just five minutes with hamtaro, & you will dream of singing & dancing hamsters. ^_^

I have to deal with A LOT of that stuff, & man, am I happy to see that there are other people with my problem!! My friend is mormon, she loves anime, not to mention she's a super good artist, & she has to do it in secret because her parents "disapprove" It makes me angry!!!!
I don't have a religion, & as long as my shows don't have extreme swearing, I can watch them. My parents are so cool sometimes. ^_^
I just wish my friend's were, too.

Good point. Me and my mate were discussing our favourite anime films in the computer room at my school and some girl came up and said 'you shouldn't watch anime, it's violent and satanic and blasphemous to god.' The anime film I was talking about was Princess Mononoke, a fantasy story with no extreme violence. I think people should try and embrace new things and not get bogged down with religious fervour.

No offense to any one religious though, I mean I used to be a christian and I changed my mind, but I can understand their views.

PS Good article. Short and to the point.

You're right. People over react to anime. Geez, it's a comic and TV show. You don't see them wronging cartoons. Why should they pick on just Anime?

Hmm...That is quite true. I'd say you'd make a good journalist. Bravo, bravo! 9favs) Here, have a big cookie. (gives you a big cookie)

*claps hands* so true. i used to be a cristian but i was so obsessed with anime that....well...lots of things happened that i could tell you about.I've actually got no religion now but its not beacuse of anime. and unlike kurisu yoi said very little anime have 'the encercled star' or as i prefer dantes star, its just the fact that its so violent,(not true look at hamataro!) and it DOES have some satanist things in it but hey, areopostal was created by satan and i betcha they still buy it! (no offense if you buy from aeropostal, i just hate that place.)but you did a brilliant job and maybe you should look into it more,i'd read it in a heartbeat.

I agree with a lot of what u say. Being a Christian myself I know why anime bothers a lot of christians. It's because there's a lot of anti-Christ stuff (devil stuff) in the shows (ie: the encircled star).

But i really admire the fact that u put up this article. I really must say i enjoyed reading it.

you're brilliant. i mean, this has to be the best article i've ever read. EVER. you, fellow writer, have a future in journalism.
