fiat_lux,

...what? Is there a new book in the bible that I missed that takes a position on media from sources with low quantities of Christians?

I'm genuinely interested in what prompted this question.

Sure they can, nothing inherent in anime which would make it unacceptable.

DirigibleProtein,

No, Christians aren’t allowed to watch anime. Technically, believers of any Abrahamic religion are prohibited, but most jurisdictions only enforce this restriction on Christians.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I’m proof it’s possible.

RightHandOfIkaros,

There isn’t really any reason that a Christian couldn’t watch anime, unless the particular anime a Christian is deciding on happens to heavily feature or promote actions/things/etc condemned in the Bible. In that case it would still be the Christian’s choice but it would make logical sense for them to choose not to watch that particular one. But there isn’t anything condemning animated entertainment as a whole.

bionicjoey,

No. Jesus expressly prohibited it in his sermon on the mount: “Blessed are the meek, and accursed are the weebs”

ImplyingImplications,

Neon Genesis Evangelion is Christian

RightHandOfIkaros,

Only so far as it borrows some names and imagery from Christianity, along with other religions as well. Evangelion makes no actual commentary on religion or religious ideas, it just uses religious terms for its world building techno-babble.

VanHalbgott,

Convictions.

superduperenigma,

Why wouldn’t they be able to watch anime?

I wasn’t allowed to watch Harry Potter or anything that was made after 1995, so, Christians will make some weird rules up in their head

fiat_lux,

I know the answer won't make sense, but was there a reason 1995 was specifically chosen? Was 1996 particularly satanic?

Yeah? How else are you supposed to have the power of God and anime on your side?

VanHalbgott,

Hilarious, but is that just a meme?

It’s a meme because someone said it, because that person is both a christian and a weeb.
