| | 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 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.

| − | The epistemological aspect is that Christianity is the foundation of modern civilizations, the hospital system, the university system, the airport system, technology, the internet and so on, and all of this started with the scientific revolution of the 16h century which was made possible only through a Christian framework because of people that had the common knowledge that firstly God created an orderly universe, secondly that because mankind is made in His image humans are able to understand the universe, thirdly by discovering his creation as well as the general revelation of his nature it helped in understand more of the Creator and the divine altogether, and fourthly because understanding the universe 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 manifests everything in the most beautiful and stylish appearances. | + | The epistemological aspect is that Christianity is the foundation of modern civilizations, the hospital system, the university system, the airport system, technology, the internet and so on, this started early in the church history and after with the scientific revolution of the 16h century which was made possible only through a Christian framework because of people that had the common knowledge that firstly God created an orderly universe, secondly that because mankind is made in His image humans are able to understand the universe, thirdly by discovering his creation as well as the general revelation of his nature it helped in understand more of the Creator and the divine altogether, and fourthly because understanding the universe was also a form of Worship.

| | 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 or Conservatism in general, 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. Also labeling the worlds of anime with the term fantasy as in a way of denouncing them does not make much sense since all of these anime and manga worlds were created by the desire and promise of Jesus for the afterlife which existed since the fall at the Garden of Eden, and they even though the anime worlds are immaterial at the moment they still exist in the souls of people and within the nature of God. | | 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 or Conservatism in general, 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.

| | :Ok, first of all, look at Sailor Moon. It clearly glorifies homosexuality with Kunzite/Zoicite and Haruka/Michiru. Rei is also a Miko of the Japanese Shinto religion which is wholly incompatible with Christianity [https://www.gotquestions.org/Shintoism.html]. Second, the Dragon Ball franchise has supernatural concepts such as Ki and it's depictions of the afterlife which are also equally incompatible. Dragon Ball Z even has a character called "Mr. Satan" for crying out loud. Even Cardcaptor Sakura with it's cute imagery has Sakura's best friend having a lesbian crush on her and Sakura's brother has a gay crush on his best friend. At CP, we are not politically correct, we believe the Bible in exactly what it says about homosexuality, that God is the only God, and that Jesus is the only way to him. anything that opposes that is the literal meaning of sin, meaning to "miss the mark."

| | + | This query is answered at paragraph two in the ontological aspect, because Anime and Manga have an innate connection with the Image of God, they encompass every genre and subgenre that could exist, which means they inevitably also include some genres and characteristics that are sinful and depraved in nature, because evil is part of the current fallen nature of man and anime and manga encompass everything that makes up mankind, the good and virtuous aspects however are the ones that will persevere in the anime worlds at the promise of salvation in Heaven. Moreover it is true that Shinto is not compatible with Christianity but it is as far as Japan could reach through the general revelation of God before receiving the Gospel of Jesus, although Anime and Manga have an essential link within Christianity because it is the foundation from God and also the concepts of Heaven and Hell are almost universal and are included in Shinto as well in a different form, there are some things that God has made sure that everyone would know. Anime and Manga is as well an innate aspect of the Image of God which manifests everything with the most beautiful and emotional appearance.
