I John 2:15 NKJV
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Hello and welcome! I'm Keesh, and I've got a few things to share before you check out the anime recommendations 🩷.
As a 'new' born again believer no one gave me advice on how I should go about watching anime or social media since giving my life to Christ. I've made anime an idol before, and I allowed it to feed my flesh (human desires) -led me to dabble into more sinful (echhi, hentai-weird dark themed anime) types of anime.
Is all anime bad? Without the right values and plot it can mislead us into thinking, and agreeing with the world (society's norms).
It can open us up to negative spirits like lust, depression, idleness, delusion etc. I have experienced this. As Christians we should be gaurd our hearts ❤️.
Things to consider when watching anime. I'm sharing my personal experience and advice as a Christian who watched(es) anime to others who didn't know, just in case:
1. Make God your 1st priority.
✧Anime can be addicting-next thing you know you haven't prayed or read your Bible in days! Then you're left feeling empty and distant from God, kinda detached.
-"Why?"
Cause you let it consume you! We can so easily be distracted-thinking 'just one more episode then you're done.'
♡ Make sure to be alert, always praying, and read your Bible! Be more fill of the Holy Spirit than worldly things.
2. Be careful of what you watch!
♡ Be discerning and self-controlled when deciding which anime to watch.
✧ A lot of anime has 'sexual scenes, witchcraft, demons, false gods,' etc.
♡ So be mindful when picking an anime; that won't lead you to sin.
-Instead it should have good values, that don't make you question or rebel against God's word but that'll inspire you rather than lead you astray.
3. Don't let anime take all your time. Take breaks regularly!
♡ Maybe take a social media fast or fast in general every now and then.
✧ Do you have any other hobbies or interests? Other priorities like studies.
-Spend some time in the real world just enjoy what God gave us.
Side note: I AM TELLING YOU it's so easy to get addicted like just cause the episodes be looking short doesn't mean you have to watch the whole thing but if so make more time for God too.
Animes I would consider watching has to have the following criteria:
• Family friendly
• Positive dynamics
• Good moral lessons
• No swearing
• No lewdness or explicit scenes
• Nothing too "magical" (witchcafty)
• No gore, or like demons, vampires, monster stuff
Genres I would watch as a Christian:
• Romance
• Slice of life
• Sport
Can't risk making something you watch become something you worship. It happens, it happened, easily so, and you don't even notice how much time this one thing can take over your life. With that being said, enjoy!
Proverbs 4:23 NLT
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Luke 11:34-35 NLT
"Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is unhealthy, your body is filled with darkness.Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness.
