== Christianity and Anime as part of the Image of God and the Afterlife ==
Hello, in this discussion section of Conservapedia i would like to note how Anime and Manga has ties with Christianity both ontological and epistemological, how it is essentialy part of the Image of God and why there is no reason for keeping away from the medium anymore simply because of some old misconceptions from the united states. The terms Anime and Manga are universal now and are not tied to a specific place even though they originated from Japan, anime and manga is now a universal aspect and ecompasses this perfected form of artstyle and emotions that manifest everything in its most perfected appearance.
The ontological aspect is that God has made mankind in His Image and the anime and manga worlds have been created from the desire for eternity and beauty that God has placed in the souls of all people, this is also why anime and manga have such beautiful aesthetics and heartwarming feelings, it reveals how the redeemed spiritual mankind is supposed to manifest in the afterlife. Since Anime and Manga have every imaginable genre and subgenre with millions of franchises, there are of course some genres of anime that might be sinful but this is only because these are also part of the fallen nature of man and anime and manga encompass everything that makes up mankind. So as long as your desires are pure, you repent of your sins and place your trust in Christ, your personal anime world and beloved anime characters should manifest in Heaven for all eternity, for the ultimate purpose to glorify God.
The epistemological aspect is that Christianity is the foundation of modern civilizations, science, technology, the internet, the hospital system, the university system and so on, and all of these were made possible because of people that had the common knowledge that God created an orderly universe and because mankind is made in His image, by discovering his creation as well as the general revelation of his nature it helped in understand more of the divine and was also a form of Worship. While this knowledge expanded and was spread worldwide, the discovery of Anime and Manga finally came to be revealed, which manifest everything in the most beautiful and stylish appearances.
After seeing some very old comments in the talk page section of Conservapedia regarding Anime it seems like there was some sort of unreasonable and outdated denunciation towards the medium from americans specific, and the problem with this is that this sort of outdated aggresion has nothing to do with Christianity, but with American Nationalism specific, and even though nationalism is not neccessarily a bad thing, in this case sadly it makes Christianity in the far west look bad as well and in an unjustified way because it drags down the system that Jesus revealed into some wrongly put opinions of a specific country which gives overall a bad image since Anime and Manga are universal and an essential aspect of Christianity.
Finally an additional note is for a specific genre, the Isekai. The main purpose for Isekai genre specific is simply because of the afterlife and the spiritual desires that everyone has, throughout the entire history of mankind, all civilizations have unnanimously believed in the immortality of the soul, the spirit world and the Presence of God as common knowledge, passing away and the afterlife has always been the most important question for every individual, nothing can change the importance of this spiritual reality. Anime manifests everything in the most aesthetically beautiful way possible and the Isekai genre reveals many various worlds and aspects that people desire to have in the afterlife. The fullness of the Isekai storylines is to explore possible things such as worlds and characters that you can have and create in the afterlife by the grace of the Lord Jesus and as anime manifestations they reach the most perfected appearances, like true Heaven.
