A Christian’s Guide to Fall 2026 Anime
It’s that time again! A host of new and returning anime are releasing on Crunchyroll, HiDive, Netflix—even Disney+ and Prime Video.
This past summer, we launched our “A Christian Guide to Summer 2026 Anime,” our first Christian guide to the shows released in a specific anime season. This guide took the summer anime releases and paired them with known information about age ratings, content, the source material, and even past seasons.
Choosing a seasonal anime can be risky. It’s not because the anime is necessarily bad or inappropriate (although that can be the case), but because there’s often limited information about new anime. We might have an idea of the basic plot, and (once it starts airing), a rough age rating with basic content categories from someone like Crunchyroll, but even that doesn’t tell you much.
You could have a new anime like A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring that’s extremely tame and heartwarming despite being rated 14+, or you could have a series like Chaos;HEAd (yes, it’s spelled/capitalized like this) which is far less tame and not at all heartwarming despite also holding a 14+ rating.
Plus, parents’ guides (if they’re even written at all) are most helpful when they cover an entire season. That ensures a full understanding of the season’s content, context, and storyline.
Our goal is to provide an overview of possible content flags in these Fall 2026 anime based on past seasons (if applicable), source material, or other helpful resources. Yes, sometimes that means forums or reviews, which may not always be the most accurate but are still sometimes very helpful.
Use this guide to assist in your decision-making, not as a definitive answer. We haven’t seen most of the shows on this list, so we can’t say for certain whether or not an anime is safe for Christians, safe for families, or safe for you personally.
Please use wisdom and discernment, and don’t forget to check out Beneath the Tangles’ first impressions for the Fall 2026 Season!
*Please note that we will be updating this list and adding more anime, and that we are human, so if you see a mistake, please let us know. This article is written with older audiences in mind. Many new anime are not created for, nor intended for, younger audiences, so any recommendations are based on a teen-to-adult age group.
*Our “recommendation” does not necessarily mean we recommend you watch an anime; it merely means we recommend it goes in x category based on current information. That does not mean we cannot make mistakes; always use wisdom and discernment!
Ongoing Anime From Summer 2026
We provided breakdowns on these last season. See our Summer 2026 Anime Post for more information on why we said what we did. Please note that they are just predictions based on source material, past seasons, reviews, etc. and may change based on what the anime actually contains. A few anime in included the table above are technically ongoing from summer, too. However, we didn’t get to every anime last season, so we are writing about them as if they are new shows.

Ace of the Diamond: Act II 2nd Season – Part II
Premise
“Eijun Sawamura finally makes his first appearance at the spring invitational! He wants to restore Seido’s reputation as a first-rate team and make them national champions! Seido High School Baseball Club’s new run is about to begin!” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Ace of the Diamond Act II
Ace of the Diamond Act II is a sequel to Ace of the Diamond, a shonen (for adolescent boys) baseball story. The original Ace of the Diamond manga is aimed at 13+. Some potentially helpful resources include:
- Beneath the Tangles articles about the series.
- Geeks Under Grace, another faith-based review site, wrote about the first episode of the original anime.
- Here’s a Reddit thread discussing whether the original Ace of the Diamond is family-friendly (most seem to think it is, although there is allegedly a moment when a character touches another’s private parts. We recommend you skip this scene).
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe, but always use discernment.
Aoashi
Premise
After a loss in his last junior high school soccer tourney, Ehime Prefecture’s ace player, Ashito Aoi, is devastated but in every loss there’s a victory. Tatsuya Fukuda, manager of an organization that trains students for one of the leading clubs in the J-League, sees Ashito’s raw talent and offers a tryout to his group. Together they’ll bring the youth club and Aoshi’s talents to new heights!” (Crunchyroll).
Christian Considerations for Aoashi
The IMDB content guide lists everything as mild or none and lists the show as TV-14.
Crunchyroll rates it as 12+ for profanity and violence and lists it as a seinen (for adult men). The source material is also a seinen.
One reviewer on IMDB noted: “It’s also wonderful to see a love story developing that isn’t based on fan service,” and a few note a romance/love triangle.
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe, but always use discernment.
A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special
Premise
“Just when he thinks it’s the end, Desir wakes up 13 years in the past. Can he make the changes needed to save the world from destruction?” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special
The source material is rated Older Teen by Yen Press, and the anime is rated 14+ on Crunchyroll for violence.
Beneath the Tangles reviewed the first episode of Season 1 here, and the review is pretty positive. They’ve also done multiple reviews for the source material, which are fairly positive (reviews for volume 1, volume 2, volume 3, volume 4, volume 5, and volume 6 here).
A couple of the female characters appear extremely and unrealistically large-busted with some cleavage, but it’s not as wild as it could be.
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe for older audiences, but always use discernment.
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 3
Premise
“In a land where nobles usually flex their swords, Ars Louvent flexes his Appraisal Skill! Join this not-so-brawny noble scion as he turns his small domain into a force to be reckoned with, all while navigating through a world of magical prowess…” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 3
Crunchyroll rates the anime as 14+ for drug and alcohol use, sexualized imagery, smoking, profanity, and violence.
Beneath the Tangles reviewed Season 1, Episode 1, and the review was fairly positive.
One reviewer noted “how clean the show is” and called the main character “a genuinely kind person.” One character is allegedly drunk, another is the main character’s fiancé, and another is a fire witch who is “well-endowed.”
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe for older audiences, but always use discernment.
(I’ll admit, I’m shocked at how many green lights there are this season in comparison to summer).
A Tale of the Secret Saint
Premise
“…[A] brush with death awakens memories of her past life as a Saint–a woman who wields rare, powerful healing and protection magic–along with the ability to use that magic herself! The downside is that Fia also remembers her past life’s untimely death, and the danger she will be in if anyone finds out what she really is. She vows to stay on her knighthood path and keep her powers a secret forever! But how can she resist using her newfound powers when they’re just so useful?” (Seven Seas).
Christian Considerations for A Tale of the Secret Saint
The light novel is rated Teen 13+ (the manga is, too). Here are some reviews of the first light novel volume.
Overall, I’m not seeing too many red flags. It honestly seems like it could be cute.
Recommendation
🟡 Too Early to Tell (but cautiously optimistic).
A Wild Last Boss Appeared! 2
Premise
“An MMO gamer awakens as the Black-Winged Tyrant, Lufas Maphaahl, rising from her sealed fate—only to find this is very real. Her defeat 200 years ago unleashed monsters of death, and the legend is one of terror. Now, trapped in the body of history’s most feared conqueror, he must survive a world that wants her dead…and uncover why he’s here.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for A Wild Last Boss Appeared! 2
Rated 14+ on Crunchyroll for violence, sexualized imagery, and profanity, the first episode of the first season didn’t receive a particularly positive first impression from Beneath the Tangles.
Beneath the Tangles noted “a surprisingly high level of gore (albeit mainly from orcs) for what appears not to be a Dark-type show.” This is also known as a “gender bender“ since the main character is a male who gets placed into his female game avatar’s body.
Recommendation
🟠 Use Caution
Black Clover 2nd Season
Premise
“Asta and Yuno are two orphans who want the same thing: to become the Wizard King. Locked in a friendly rivalry, they work hard towards their goal. While Yuno excels at magic, Asta has a problem uncommon in this world: he has no powers! But, on the day they receive their grimoires, they surprise everyone. To reach their goal, they’ll each find their own path to greatness—with or without magic.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Black Clover
We included Black Clover on our “Anime to Approach with Caution” list, and we don’t recommend it due to occult themes (devil contracts, demons, Qliphoth Tree, The Dark Triad Ritual, etc.).
Crunchyroll rates it 14+ for violence, profanity, suggestive dialogue, sexualized imagery, and smoking.
Apparently the original anime ran for 170 episodes from 2017-2021, then stopped, and now it’s back. Beneath the Tangles wrote a first impression of the first episode in 2017.
Recommendation
🟠 Use Caution
Blue Box Season 2
Premise
“Third-year student Taiki joins badminton club. Despite being an early riser, star player Chinatsu, his crush, arrives first. Living together unexpectedly, Taiki strives to reach Nationals to impress Chinatsu.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for Blue Box Season 2
IMDB rates the show TV-PG, and their parents’ guide lists “None” for all categories (with ~30+ people voting on each category). MyAnimeList rates it PG-13. Common Sense Media rates it 10+.
- Beneath the Tangles’ first impression of Season 1, Episode 1, was fairly positive, and their first impression of the manga was also pretty positive.
- Here’s a forum discussing whether the anime is “safe.”
Safe to say, this anime is easily a green light.
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe, but always use discernment.
Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle: Part II
Premise
“Saku Chitose is a student at Fujishi High School, the most prestigious school in Fukui Prefecture. Outstanding in class, on the field, and in his social life, Saku attracts attention, good and bad. Naturally, he is surrounded by a circle of friends anyone would be happy to have. Now in the spring of his second year, with a new class, Saku is asked to help a shut-in classmate return to school life.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle: Part II
The anime is rated 16+ on Crunchyroll for profanity, smoking, and sexual violence. Beneath the Tangles’ first impression of Chitose wasn’t the most positive.
Chitose doesn’t have a super alarming IMDB parents’ guide, but that shouldn’t mean you should let your guard down, especially with the 16+ age rating.
…He intends to shock her out of her passive mindset and get her to advocate for herself, but forcing himself onto a vulnerable girl, in the privacy of his own home, with no adults around to stop him, is beyond the pale. I almost turned off the TV in disgust. Of course, he doesn’t go through with it and receives a swift (deserved) kick to the balls in retaliation, but what stretches credulity even further is that Nanase doesn’t just leave in distress, as she should, but instead thanks him for his actions! (source)
This may be skippable, but main characters who do this are often not worth interacting with.
And apparently there is more to be concerned about in episode 10:
The subsequent “reveal” of Nanase’s stalker – yes, a different character – is less effective, leaving more of an “is that it?” feeling. At least Nanase’s speech about how she’s just a normal girl who menstruates and masturbates, hence destroying her stalker’s idolized vision of her, is bold and entertaining.
This is certainly a red flag.
Additionally, according to this forum about the source material:
For those who appreciate open-minded art and narrative depth, I can tell you there’s an incredibly engaging plot in Volume 8, specifically the last two chapters. It explores the complexity of youth in a literal way, hitting on taboo subjects which other series are afraid to touch. The scene is an intense intimate physical one with explicit sexual narratives (though didnt went [sic] all the way), making it more complex and extensive than the similar scene in earlier volumes. (source, bolded text original to source)
Finally, another review on Anime News Network notes about the first episode:
Our lead is introduced, leering at girls’ legs and skirts. One female character is introduced, if not boobs-first, then boobs-second, with the shot of her cleavage taking up much more time than that of her face. (source)
So, the anime definitely contains some fanservice.
Recommendation
🟠 Use Caution (I will be skipping).
Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2
Premise
“A Street Kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an Edgerunner, a Mercenary outlaw also known as a Cyberpunk.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2
Netflix rates the show TV-MA, as does IMDB. Common Sense Media recommends the anime for ages 17+, mentioning that the anime is 5/5 for sex and violence (a five is the most a show can have). It also has strong language, including the f-bomb.
The trailer’s thumbnail depicts a girl with large breasts visible (nipple covered) on IMDB.
Since the existing season is so mature/violent, we don’t expect the second season to be any less so.
Recommendation
🔴 Skip
Dark Machine: The Animation
Premise
“To fulfill his grandfather’s dying wish, Kairi fights to conquer the global esport DARK MACHINE!” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Dark Machine: The Animation
There is very little information out there about the anime. Dark Machine is “a mixed media project“; there’s an upcoming anime, as well as a game that hasn’t been released yet. Here’s the Wikipedia page about the franchise.
Recommendation
🟡 Too Early to Tell
Detective Conan (Case Closed)
Premise
“Ace teen detective Shinichi Kudo solves cases after becoming trapped in the body of a ten-year-old.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Detective Conan
Rated 14+ on Crunchyroll for violence, smoking, profanity, and drug/alcohol use, Detective Conan‘s manga is a shonen. The anime has been ongoing since 1996.
Here is the list of TV Tropes in the anime.
Recommendation
🟠 Use Caution (closer to a green light than some other orange installments by far).
Devil’s Crest
Premise
“Sixth-grader Yuuma Ashihara and his twin sister, Sawa, are playing Actual Magic, a brand-new virtual reality MMORPG, when it suddenly begins fusing with the real world. Amid all the chaos and confusion, it becomes clear that death is lurking around every corner, including when Yuuma runs into his classmate Sumika. Before, she was one of the cutest girls in his class, but she’s since undergone a terrible metamorphosis—into one of the game’s horrifying monsters…” (Yen Press, mild edit made for punctuation/correctness)
Christian Considerations for Devil’s Crest
Devil’s Crest, also known as Demons’ Crest, was originally a light novel by Reki Kawahara (the Sword Art Online author).
Here is the review of volume 2, which notes less body horror in comparison to the first volume and some “demonic possession” in alignment with “Japanese folklore.” However, he does recommend the second volume to potential readers.
There is magic in the series.
Recommendation
🟠 Use Caution
Dreamland
Premise
“Terrence finds himself in the world of Dreamland, a place where dreams and nightmares bring all-new possibilities.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Dreamland
This one is based on a French comic. Based on reviews, it seems to contain some sexual content.
The Manga Updates page for the manga is very telling:
- The main character is “a shy high-schooler who would like to seduce Lydia, a girl he’s liked for a long time.”
- The genre includes ecchi (sexual or suggestive content).
- The category tags include “dirty joke/s” [sic] and “first-time intercourse.”
Recommendation
🔴 Skip
Even Though I’m a Super Timid Noble Girl, I Accepted the Bet From My Cunning Fiancé
Premise
“Pia Rockwell learns she’ll soon lose it all. Yet, her fiancé Rufus is inspired to make a bet on their future.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Even Though I’m a Super Timid Noble Girl, I Accepted the Bet From My Cunning Fiancé
There is no official English translation. A review mentions a hallucinogen being given to characters for years. Here’s a forum discussing some of the manga, and based on it, it seems like the male main character could be sweet.
Recommendation
🟡 Too Early to Tell
Firefly Wedding
Premise
“…Before [the ill Satoko] can secure a marriage that will redeem her worth in her family’s eyes, she finds herself the target of the mysterious assassin Shinpei, and her plans are put in jeopardy. In order to save herself, she makes a desperate proposal—of marriage! When it comes to love, however, Shinpei takes ‘until death do we part’ seriously.” (VIZ Media)
Christian Considerations for Firefly Wedding
The manga is rated “Teen Plus.” Teen Plus stories “May be suitable for older teens and adults. For example, may contain intense and/or gory violence, sexual content, frequent strong language, alcohol, tobacco and/or other substance use.”
This review supports the mature content in Firefly Wedding.
The story contains a yandere (“a yandere is someone who is lovesick, someone who has been driven to insanity by extreme obsession or love, thus resulting in abnormal behavior if not violence“) character.
While it’s possible the anime could soften this content, that isn’t guaranteed. I’d recommend using extreme caution and keeping your eyes out for early reviews of the anime before making a decision; this is not one to jump right into.
Recommendation
🟠 Use Caution (though likely a skip)
Fool Night
Premise
“Kamiya is at the end of his rope. His mother is ill, and his job barely pays for her medication, much less food. With few options left, he considers the life-changing process of transfloration. Ready to give his body up for a payday, Kamiya is about to explore the limits of society’s waning humanity.” (VIZ)
Christian Considerations for Fool Night
The manga is a seinen and rated Teen Plus. Teen Plus means “May be suitable for older teens and adults. For example, may contain intense and/or gory violence, sexual content, frequent strong language, alcohol, tobacco and/or other substance use.”
Beneath the Tangles has been reviewing the manga volumes; here is volume 1, which emphasizes a “depressing tone.”
One reviewer highlights “body horror, child abuse, [and] suicide.” Another emphasizes the child abuse (language warning).
Another emphasizes body horror.
One interesting concept that Christians may want to be aware of (spoilers): “After discovering Ivy’s identity and learning, via direct memory experience, what led them to do the things they’re doing, Toshiro finds himself torn. On one hand is the societal, moral principle that Ivy has committed terrible crimes and must be punished for them, and on the other is Toshiro’s internal, emotional conviction that he feels really bad for Ivy and just kind of doesn’t want to do that.” Per this, it seems possible that there will be some wrestling with justice and empathizing with villains.

FX Fighter Kurumi-Chan
Premise
“When Kurumi was a third year middle schooler, her mother squandered 20 million yen playing the foreign exchange market during an economic depression, and consequently, took her own life. Now an adult, Kurumi is prepared to take on forex herself to reearn what was lost.” (Manga Updates)
Christian Considerations for FX Fighter Kurumi-Chan
The manga was published in a seinen (for adult men) magazine. There is no English translation available. However, multiple people mention this being a “horror” story and one suggests it being classified as a thriller with an age of 18+.
Manga Updates lists the story’s genres as follows: comedy, drama, historical, horror, psychological, school life, seinen, slice of life, and tragedy. They also categorize the series under “big breasts” and “partial nudity,” among others. Some of the art does seem a bit fan-servicey, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a little bit in the anime, although that’s just opinion/speculation.
What sets FX Fighter Kurumi-chan apart is not just its subject matter, but how it handles it. Although the world of FX trading is technical and complex, the anime appears poised to explore the emotional stakes behind every chart movement. Losses aren’t just numbers; they’re psychological turning points. Gains aren’t just financial; they’re symbolic victories in a larger personal journey. The series doesn’t just teach about FX, it interrogates what it means to chase recovery, control, and meaning in a world where outcomes are never guaranteed. (source, bolded text original to source)
The voice actress for the main character commented on the source material: “The art style is super cute, but the content is, in some ways, super violent! Sitting alone at a desk, surrounded by silence, hands shaking from tension, with only your heartbeat audible… a mere 0.1 yen price movement can mean the difference between laughter and tears, heaven and hell. The way you operate can even dictate a person’s entire life.”

Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion!
Premise
“Rose, a lone witch, brews a love potion for the man she loves…to be used on someone else.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion!
Yen Press rates the manga Teen.
Other than the obvious witch and love potion considerations, there seem to be minimal content flags.
…if you like socially awkward heroines, caring heroes, and a little bit of magic, it’s worth checking out…
They don’t really mention any notable content flags in their review, although they weren’t a fan of the main character “needing a man”:
And while I don’t love that much of this appears to hinge on Rose needing a man to take care of her…the fact of the matter is that it’s less that she needs “a man” and more that she needs someone, because while she’s a very good Witch of the Lake, she’s got close to zero self-care skills. (source)
I have never wanted a Yen Press book be a Steamship book so badly until I read this one.
Steamship is where another publisher, Seven Seas, publishes their “steamy” content, so it’s clear that the second volume was not meeting their expectations.
Another Goodreads reviewer noted some content flags. Other than love potions/magic/witches, the following occurs:
Language: darn it
Violence: children throw mud on a woman
Sexual: mild suggestive hints that point to possible previous love affairs (only in the bonus short story)
The “possible” affairs are certainly not great, but this is pretty mild overall.
Beneath the Tangles staff member Laura A. Grace enthusiastically posted her review of the fifth volume. This is promising since there are reviews for the previous four volumes, too. She does note that Rose, the main character, is considered a “good witch.”
Overall, the witch/magic/love potion content seems to be the biggest red flag.
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe, but always use discernment.
Hotel Inhumans
Premise
“A special hotel is run for hitmen and assassins.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for Hotel Inhumans
The upcoming installment is seemingly the second season of the anime. Crunchyroll rates the show 14+ for violence.
Beneath the Tangles offered a first impression for the first episode of the first season, which is fairly positive, although some gore seems to be present.
According to Anime News Network, there is a “pair of female assassin lovers.” They also mention “the occasional burst of bloody, tragic violence…”
According to My Anime for Life:
The anthology structure is the show’s biggest strength because it allows diverse tones, genres, and emotional beats across the season. Some installments are moody, elegiac character studies that explore regret and memory, while others lean into dark comedy, action, or slow-burn noir.
Considering what Anime News Network notes, “Our only true protagonists are the hotel employees themselves, led by the likeable and capable duo of Ikuro and Sara,” this makes sense.

#I’m Looking For a Zombie
Premise
“To Aki and her friends, a ruined city ravaged by zombies is amazing! They’re off to find her missing father.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for #I’m Looking For a Zombie
The manga is getting an omnibus version, but it doesn’t appear to be out yet. It seems to be a seinen (for adult men).
Forum members keep mentioning that the manga was “axed,” with one reader noting, “…the last chapter is pretty much an infodump about all the mysteries that would probably be released slower if the series was not axed.”

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run – 2nd Stage
Premise
“The 2nd STAGE pushes Johnny and Gyro into a roughly 750-mile desert crossing known as the “Devil’s Palm,” where a series of ominous murders make clear that the race is about far more than just competition. This stretch of the story also introduces Stands more directly into the anime, along with the race’s more sinister undercurrents, as hidden motives among the racers start to surface.” (FandomWire)
Christian Considerations for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run – 2nd Stage
Steel Ball Run is the upcoming anime adaptation of the seventh JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure arc. Well, it’s sorta upcoming. There was already an episode released in March (the 1st Stage), but the rest of the season (2nd and 3rd Stages) are going to be released starting this fall.
Common Sense Media reviewed what seems to be the 1st Stage and rates it 14+, emphasizing violence and cursing. However, the first stage is just a small taste of what will be coming since there are still 11 unaired episodes.
This arc’s manga started in a shonen magazine (for adolescent boys) before shifting to a seinen (for adult men) magazine. Allegedly, the tone in this arc is darker than the earlier arcs of JoJo.

“One day, Fuu encounters a mysterious spaceship and is granted magical powers. Rui [her sister] also acquires magical powers, and both of the girls gain the ability to transform into the adults that they’ve dreamed of becoming. However, their magic comes with two conditions: it only lasts for a year, and it must be kept a secret at all costs. Unaware of their respective secrets, soon Fuu and Rui end up debuting as idol singers in their grown-up forms.” (Crunchyroll)

Magical Girl Raising Project: Restart
Premise
“Magical Girl Raising Project is a popular social game that has an ability to grant players a 1 in 10,000 chance to become a real life Magical Girl with unique magical abilities to help people. However, at some point, Fav, the magical administrator fairy, decides to cut the population of Magical Girls in half. The game quickly changes into a twisted, wicked battlefield as the 16 magical girls get dragged into a battle for survival against each other.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Magical Girl Raising Project: Restart
The first season of the anime (yes, the upcoming installment is the second season) is rated 16+ on Crunchyroll for violence, blood/gore, suicide, profanity, and drug/alcohol use. They classify it as a seinen.
The manga is rated Older Teen. The light novel is also rated Older Teen. Restart is the second book in the series.
IMDB rates the first season of the anime TV-MA and their parents’ guide is all moderate to severe except for the sex/nudity section (considered “mild” although allegedly someone’s stepfather “tries to molest” them).
This reader wrote a recap of the first six volumes.
The main character, Snow White, seems like a decent person. (Spoilers) One reviewer notes that despite her “idealism” getting “crushed,” Snow White “remains dedicated to fighting for justice and becomes feared as ‘The Magical Girl Hunter’ from her determination to take down villains (without killing them) even though she’s become a cynical, silent young woman.”

Magic Knight Rayearth
Premise
“Hikaru, Umi and Fuu return for a retelling of the classic Magic Knight Rayearth series!” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Magic Knight Rayearth
This will be a remake of an anime from 1994-1995. The manga is rated 13+.
Here’s a parents’ guide for the second season of the original anime.
This could be a dealbreaker for some viewers.
A forum user asked about the content for their younger nieces, thinking it would be safe for (6/8 year olds), but noticed the anime had a higher rating than expected. A commenter noted:
“…a lot of the appeal at that time was the somewhat risque scenes (i.e. the girls getting their armor or the episodes with a bath scene). I don’t know how that would translate to young girls.” (source)
This seems consistent with the other user submitted details on IMDB.
Then we have another commenter noting helpful content information with some large spoilers:
Plus, violence/blood seems to be a concern, too.
It’s impossible to know whether they will tone down some of the content, keep it around the same, or make it more suggestive/nude. Either way, it doesn’t hurt to be cautious considering what’s included in the original anime.

“Taiyô Asano, is socially inept after his family’s death, can only interact with Mutsumi Yozakura. Mutsumi’s brother after injuring her, targets Taiyô. To survive, Taiyô must marry Mutsumi, join the family, and become a spy to protect her.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for Mission: Yozakura Family S2 Part II
The manga is rated Teen. Common Sense Media rates it 13+.
“Romance is a central theme,” and a character “want[s] to rub their face against another character’s hair” according to Common Sense Media. There is also violence/gore.
The Beneath the Tangles’ first impression is very positive. They’ve also reviewed the first volume and the third volume.
The anime is often compared to Spy x Family (here’s another example).
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe for older audiences, but always use discernment.
Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden
Premise
“A great hero lies undefeated on her deathbed…But when she suddenly comes to in the body of the young, frail Nia Liston, she’s got an all-new fight ahead of her. Nia is a sickly child, meaning she has a long way to go before she’s in fighting form. Now that she’s been given a second shot at life, however, she’s determined to get what she wants. She’s going to live—and die—for battle this time! Make way for the Merciless Maiden!” (J Novel Club)
Christian Considerations for Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden
The book series is recommended for ages 15+.
According to a Goodreads reviewer, “…a sorcerer of some sort placed a random soul into the body to get a lot money from Nia’s parents for “saving” her life. The soul he picked happened to have been a cultivator/martial artist who with the power of chi managed to cure the disease and start a long recovery.“
The main character is also….”a budding TV star.”
Umm, what?

Overgeared
Premise
“Grid’s luck turns when he becomes heir to a legendary blacksmith and his stats get reset to zero.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Overgeared
The book is rated Teen, and the anime is based on a web novel turned manhwa (Korean comic).
Overgeared is classified as a harem and a seinen according to Manga Updates.
There are many gods in the series, and apparently, “Where this story takes a whole new-level approach to gods is that humans can actually reach that level through achievements that allow them to transcend to divinity.”

Paw and Palaces
Premise
“Six cats living in the Forbidden City enter magical inner worlds to protect ancient treasures from evil!” (Crunchyroll)

Psyren
Premise
“In search of his friend, Ageha is drawn into rumors of nationwide disappearances and a deadly game begins.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Psyren
It’s a shonen (for adolescent boys).
Possible “occult element[s].”
Telepethy is also a concept. A reviewer notes “the series is largely absent of fan service, aside from some bikini shots, but the ridiculous proportions of future Marie practically become a running gag” and apparently this character, Marie, becomes a “flirty adult” despite once being a kid.

Ranma 1/2 Season 3
Premise
“Akane Tendo meets her new fiancé, Ranma Saotome, a martial arts prodigy with a twist: he magically transforms into a girl upon touching cold water.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for Ranma 1/2 Season 3
Rated TV-14 on IMDB, Ranma 1/2 is a remake and is rated 15+ on Common Sense Media, who note, “Frequent partial nudity,” and “a lot” of violence and scariness, as well as “some” profanity.
Beneath the Tangles’ first impression (S1E1?) discusses the male lead turning into a female: “…judging from episode one, it’s largely with either slapstick comedy or from an authentic perspective of a boy who doesn’t think of himself as a girl nor is having gender dysphoria; he’s just a boy in a girl’s body…”
Ultimately, this sounds like a series to use caution with.

Christian Considerations for Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!
The light novel is rated Older Teen (15+), and the manga is Older Teen.
One reviewer on Goodreads noted (volume 1), “this is one of those works that heavily pushes the harem thing… Practically every woman, human or AI, that makes an appearance in this manga instantly wants to bed the MC.“

Reincarnated as a Sword S2
Premise
“Reborn as a sentient sword, our protagonist joins a young girl on a journey to exact justice on those who prey upon the weak.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for Reincarnated as a Sword S2
Rated TV-14 on IMDB, Reincarnated as a Sword allegedly has moderate violence/gore & frightening/intense scenes according to the IMDB parents’ guide. Other categories are listed as mild to none (it’s important to note that this is not a unanimous consensus even if it’s the average answer. Some of the profanity listed is not mild at all).
The light novel is rated Teen (13+), as is its manga.
Beneath the Tangles’ first impression was not positive, and it mentions blood and killing.
One reviewer of the first volume manga noted: “it was a bit too brutal and bloody.”
Recommendation
🟠 Use Caution
RILAKKUMA
Premise
“Everyday life gets a cozy twist with the laid-back Rilakkuma. Gentle moments of friendship, change, and small joys unfold, turning ordinary moments into something quietly magical—one soft, comforting day at a time.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for RILAKKUMA
This is the only anime on this list with an “All” rating for Crunchyroll; that means it’s “appropriate for all ages.“
This is a story about a genderless bear with a zipper who comes to life. Apparently, “Rilakkuma translates literally from Japanese to English as ‘relax bear’ or ‘bear in a relaxed mood.’“
PluggedIn reviewed another show about the character, noting, “What parents will be more excited about, however, is the show’s nearly non-existent content concerns…We couldn’t find any issues within three of the eight episodes, and the remaining five are extremely minor. It’s certainly got the least amount of negative content of any show I’ve reviewed this year.”
This isn’t the same show, but it’s in the same franchise, and considering this anime is rated for all ages, it’s probably the absolute safest anime on this list.
Recommendation
🟢 Probably safe for most audiences, but always use discernment.
Romelia War Chronicle
Premise
“Jilted by her fiance after slaying the Demon King, Romelia returns home to rebuild a kingdom shattered by war.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Romelia War Chronicle
The manga is Teen (13+). Monsters, magic, gods, and demons (not Satanic workers) are potential concerns.
According to reviews of the manga from Anime News Network, the prince has “(lady) followers” and the story “incorporates harem elements in the prince’s party” (in this context, harem means there are a lot of possible female love interests).

Sasaki and Peeps S2
Premise
“Sasaki is a middle-aged office worker living in Japan. Feeling drained by the vapid corporate world, he heads to the pet shop in search of a new companion. There he finds an adorable bird named Peeps and takes him home. But Sasaki quickly learns that Peeps isn’t your average bird…he’s a powerful mage from another world! Together, they embark on a magical adventure filled with swords and sorcery.” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for Sasaki and Peeps S2
Rated 14+ on Crunchyroll for violence, this anime has a sparse IMDB parents’ guide, but the sex and nudity are allegedly very minimal.
The manga is rated Teen on Yen Press.
Beneath the Tangles’ first impression mentions that “Sasaki also inadvertently makes a contract with his feathered friend, which unlocks his ability to learn magic,” and that someone thinks he’s a “wild psychic.” They also mention a concern about an underage character, which was one of the reasons they stopped reading the manga.

Christian Considerations for So What’s Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin?
The manga is rated Teen on Yen Press. It’s a seinen (for adult men), and partial nudity is one of the category tags for the book. The main character gets offered “the power to make anyone he defeats eternally loyal to him!”

When mysterious thefts stir rumors of the Phantom Thieves, the two transform into Detective Precure, using courage, deduction, and friendship to solve cases and uncover the secret of Anna’s journey through time.” (Crunchyroll)

The anime is rated PG on Crunchyroll for violence.
Content concerns include magic, fairies, and time travel.

The Apothecary Diaries Season 3
Premise
“A young maiden is kidnapped and sold into servitude at the emperor’s palace, where she secretly employs her pharmacist skills with the help of the head eunuch to unravel medical mysteries in the inner court.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for The Apothecary Diaries Season 3
Crunchyroll rates the show 14+ due to suggestive dialogue, sexualized imagery, drug/alcohol use, violence, suicide, and smoking.
Common Sense Media rates it 14+, claiming there is “a lot” of sexual content. Other than some possible romance and the setting (where concubines and eunuchs reside), they note:
The main character grew up in the red light district outside the palace; she spent a lot of time at the brothel. Characters use innuendos to discuss sex. In one scene, three characters are found cuddling and giggling after eating an aphrodisiac. Their clothes are in disarray, showing cleavage but nothing more.
Their use of “a lot” seems to be more references/setting.
The BBFC (they do content ratings for the UK) lists content flags for individual episodes.
The IMDB parents’ guide lists every category as mild except moderate substances (this makes sense given the title).
This reviewer of the first season notes:
There’s no onscreen sex, and female nudity is confined to frequent cleavage shots, but we do see one man in his underwear in a sexually suggestive but humorous scene. Most of the male characters in the first half of the season are eunuchs, and there’s some euphemistic discussion of how they got that way.
“No onscreen sex” seems to be the consensus among reviewers, although it’s possible for a shift in later seasons. The reviewer mentions other notable content:
There’s murder, of course, the death of children, self-harm, bullying, suicide and mention of outright rape. The former emperor is all but stated to have been a pedophile, which is important to the background of one of the consorts.
This is certainly a concern.

The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2
Premise
“After thwarting a hijacking with beautiful, silver-haired detective Siesta, Kimihiko leads a life of globe-trotting and crime-solving—until Siesta dies. A year later, a new case will open old wounds as it threads murder, conspiracy, and his dead partner!” (Crunchyroll)
Christian Considerations for The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2
The anime is rated 14+ on Crunchyroll for violence, sexualized imagery, drug/alcohol use, and smoking.
The light novel is rated “Older Teen” on Yen Press, and the manga is rated “Teen” on Yen Press.
The anime softens some content from the light novel:
Whereas the anime makes a few changes to the way Siesta initiates a sexual encounter to comply with Japanese censorship laws for television broadcast, the light novel depicts Siesta’s intentions and Kimihiko’s response to Siesta’s sexual advances more clearly. (source)
But that doesn’t mean that the anime skips over it, either:
Kimihiko denies having slept with her, but Siesta confirms in the Japanese-language version, “I see. To tell you the truth, at least once, I could consider sleeping with you.” This same exchange is featured in the anime version, though Siesta’s line is modified to “I see. To tell you the truth, at least once, I wouldn’t mind doing it with you.” (source)
The scene is still in the anime, albeit as a “flashback” with “ambiguous” details.
This review of the first volume mentions minor sexualization. This is, of course, problematic, but it’s uncertain whether the anime has the same concerns.

The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System

“Nobody in this world wants to end up assigned a class like “Heavy Knight.” Nobody, that is, except for Elymas Edvaughn, who knows from his memories of a past life that the class is an absolute monster for those who know how to use it. But the path of the Heavy Knight is particularly difficult in a society that doesn’t know the true strength of the class! Exiled from his family, Elymas sets out to game the system and show the world his true power!” (Seven Seas)
Christian Considerations for The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System
The manga is rated Teen (13+) on Seven Seas’ website, but the anime is rated 16+ on Crunchyroll for violence and profanity.
The IMDB parents’ guide currently lists all categories as mild except for violence/gore and frightening/intense scenes, which are moderate, and the sexual content is mainly revealing outfits/bouncing breasts. One person noted “sneaky fanservice” (warning: immodest pictures of female characters listed on this post), and another notes an “upskirt shot.“
Anime News Network reviewed the first two manga volumes:
The art is satisfactory, and thus far, the male and female characters both seem to be allowed full sets of clothing…a touch that added one more piece of that final star…As an isekai adventure that, at least thus far, is all-ages, I thought this was a great read.
This anime is technically ongoing, and it started this summer, but we didn’t get to it in our Summer Anime post, so we are including it here. This means, however, that Beneath the Tangles’ first impression is already available, and it’s semi-positive.

The anime is rated 14+ for violence and sexualized imagery (per Crunchyroll). The manga is rated 13+.
This is supported by the BBFC (the UK’s rating system), which rates it for ages 15 and up and repeatedly lists “strong sex references” for every episode except episode 12.

A sequel to The Prince of Tennis, The Prince of Tennis II has had many anime sequels:
- The Prince of Tennis II is rated 14+ on Crunchyroll for profanity, smoking, and nudity.
- The Prince of Tennis II U-17 World Cup is rated 12+ on Crunchyroll for profanity and violence.
- The Prince of Tennis II Hyotei vs. Rikkai Game of Future is rated PG on Crunchyroll due to profanity.
The manga is published in a shonen (for adolescent boys) magazine.
There is no parents’ guide for the other World Cup anime (Semi-Final or World Cup), but it seems to be a fairly straightforward sports anime. Here’s a parents’ guide for The Prince of Tennis (mild to none in all categories).

The Ramparts of Ice Season 2
Premise
“Koyuki Hikawa, a high school loner who avoids emotional connections, sees her solitary existence disrupted when a cheerful classmate tries to penetrate her walls, pulling her into an uncomfortable but sincere friend group.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for The Ramparts of Ice Season 2
Common Sense Media recommends the anime for ages 10+. The IMDB parents’ guide lists next to nothing, other than an injury, for any of the categories.
There is also very little profanity according to Common Sense Media (the word “p*ssed” is used).
Additionally, Beneath the Tangles’ first impression was very positive.
This doesn’t seem to be the case for the anime (at least not with Season 1), but that doesn’t mean we should ignore the higher age rating for the source material.
Other potential concerns: Romantic elements & bullying. A character worries about assault.

The World’s Strongest Witch

“After using her SSS-Rank skill, Internet, to crush her former family’s ambitions, Lorna is free to travel the world. Her next stop is the port town of Aquas, where she hopes to see the sights and chow down on some fresh seafood. But when she arrives, the place is on the brink of destruction thanks to a certain Weekly Quest… Good thing Lorna has the gods on her side!” (Yen Press)
Christian Considerations for The World’s Strongest Witch
Other than witches and gods, there are a few potential concerns.
The manga is rated T (Teen) by Yen Press. According to a review:
Best of all is the internet skill itself. Lorna deals with popup malware, cryptocurrency, and comment trolls telling her to take off her panties. She thinks it’s the gods speaking to her. By the end of the volume, even the elves believe commenters are using slang of the gods, and adopt it themselves. This book is ridiculous. (source)
Yes, there is clearly magic and the main character is a witch, but it sounds more fantasy-esque than witchcrafty, although the anime will have to confirm whether that’s true.
Another potential content flag: “Whenever Rona tries to play music or a video she found on the internet in public, she gets hit with an ad that sounds like it’s advertising some kind of porn, particularly of the lolicon variety where the girl is speaking lewdly to some ‘onii-chan.'”
Other than a few concerns, this anime actually sounds kinda fun, honestly. She can access the wiki page for her world! A reviewer compared it to Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!, which is a fun isekai anime we reviewed in the past.

“Lost in a dark fairy tale realm, Yu enrolls at a magical academy where ghosts roam freely and students battle for supremacy in an upcoming supernatural competition.” (IMDB)
Christian Considerations for Disney: Twisted-Wonderland – Episode of Savanaclaw
Episode of Savanaclaw is the upcoming second season of Twisted Wonderland, an anime based on the Disney Twisted-Wonderland game. The IMDB parents’ guide for the existing anime lists mild to none for all categories except frightening and intense scenes, which are currently listed as moderate.
Common Sense Media recommends the show for ages 10+.
Seven Disney villains inspire the characters and dorms in the world and are known as the “Great Seven.”
According to the official website, the Great Seven are “Great figures whose deeds are the stuff of Twisted Wonderland legend. The students of Night Raven College all revere these seven figures.”
However (spoilers), allegedly, things in the world were “twisted” so that the villains seemed much better than they actually were. Thus, the villains seem revered because of a false understanding of what actually happened.
