There's been a lot of chatter about what Christians can or cannot watch. We wrote about this when looking at yuri anime—and our answer may surprise you. beneaththetangles.com/2021/0…
‘Yuri Will Save the World’? Why You Should Watch Yuri and Why I Don’t Anymore

‘Yuri Will Save the World’? Why You Should Watch Yuri and Why I Don’t Anymore

“Yuri will save the world” is a popular saying in the comment sections of yuri and shoujo-ai manga online. It’s pretty cringey from a Christian perspective, but in an odd way, for me, it was also s…

I've written a TON about whether Christians can and should watch anime. At the end of the day, I think many Christians miss out on the rich themes and storytelling because they're too harsh—while some embrace what's not good for them. Here are my thoughts—beneaththetangles.com/2017/1…
Can Christians Watch Anime?

When the Pokemon craze started years ago, congregants were flabbergasted by the franchise, not knowing what to make of it. From their pulpits, many pastors decried the phenomenon and, as with …

As Christians, we bring in conviction and discernment with our viewing habits, including with anime. Whether it's deciding to watch or not watch Asta and Black Clover or any series, we need to approach anime thoughtfully. Here's an article about just that: beneaththetangles.com/2017/1…

This is going crazy but to put yall on to Christians who have been faithful engaging with anime/nerd niche content check out @thetangles @AnimeTangles @ChristianAniPod @PreePonee @NerdiestNic @heaven_piercing @KhakiBlueSocks @GeekinessG @Deadlydillgame

I don’t watch their content but they seem genuine. I think how people are coming at this are making it seem like once someone becomes a Christian they can’t enjoy media and that’s not true. Plenty of Christian’s love anime. They’re expressing a personal conviction and that’s ok
