Our Christian anime and manga reviews are here to provide more than just surface-level statements: “I liked this story. It was well-written, and I liked the characters.”

They are here to explain what’s in a story, why it matters, how it relates to or conflicts with a Christian perspective. Our parents’ guides aim to be more detailed than your average guide, too, and we provide volume-by-volume parents’ guides to help you avoid surprises later.

We also aim to avoid flat-out “This is safe, or this isn’t safe” claims about the anime, manga, or other media we review. We understand that grey area issues exist, and we want to foster critical thinking, not tell you what to think. We do provide recommendations and suggestions, but we want them to be a starting point, not an end-all.

Studio Ghibli Christian Reviews

Studio Ghibli has created some of the most beloved anime films of all time, and one of our goals is to review them from a Christian perspective.

Anime Listacles (Just for Fun!)

These listacle-style posts are fun ways to make connections between anime, characters, and themes.

Anime Season Introductions

These posts offer insight into the anime airing in a specific season. We explore demographics, age recommendations, potential content concerns, and other important information to prepare you for the new anime.

Anime Adjacent Reviews & Parents’ Guides

Shows like Gabriel and the Guardians and Avatar: The Last Airbender are clearly inspired by (and often mistaken for) anime.
