CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

hi all

i'm looking for some anime that's not too girly *sorry all sailormoon and card captor sakura fans* and with some action yet still keeps a good Christian value as much as possible ^^ i know Trigun and Rurouni Kenshin are good....any others that have some action yet good morals ^^? PLEASE HELP NEEDE! ^^

This is in the wrong forum, but I'll try to help.

[sarcasm] Oh yes, Hellsing is good for kids and is a very pro-Christian series. [/sarcasm]

Unfortunately there aren't going to be a lot of manga or anime that's pro-Christian. Less than 1% of Japan's population is Christian, and though it is sometimes considered cool or stylish to use religious themes, there really aren't any that are pro-Christian.

There are some anime/manga that use religious themes, but in a blasphemous way. Hellsing, Evangelion, most fantasy...

As much as I hate to say this, sometimes you must compromise. Just find something that isn't too chock-full of bad stuff. Usually anything rated at 13+ isn't very bad. Some minor swearing, a bit of innuendo, and some violence, but that's usually it. Avoid fantasy, since it usually deals heavily with magic.

I'll reccomend One Piece. It's somewhat violent, but it's a Shounen series. Basically all of the language has been edited out by VIZ, and there are no religious or 'magic' themes at all. Aside from the "Devil Fruit" , which is just a term used to describe the effect of the fruit, there should be nothing objectionable.

Tactics by Sakura Kinoshita is a fairly clean manga series that may be worth looking into. I do warn that the main character works with Japanese folklore, so there's a Buhddist/Shintoist influence in the series, and a tiny bit of what could be deemed 'magic,' but if you're okay with that then definitely give it a shot.

I'd also recommend looking into some of the Gundam series (namely 08th MS Team, Gundam Wing, and Gundam SEED). It's not manga, but they make for good watching. If you watch the cut version, there's no cussing, but plenty of action.

oh my, I didn't think this'd ever happen to me! Double post! T^T

Are you looking for manga or anime? I'm a bit confused by your post/titl.e

Tsubasa is really good. I'ld highly recommend it.

Hey!
Have you ever read King of Bandits: Jing?
I have 1-3 (manga) And I love them so far! About the worst thing in it
is...oh yeah, they flip people off sometimes...that's 'bout it.

Anyone else read these?

Angelic Layer is not very girly, still has a lot of action, and a great theme that size doesn't matter.

Gundam Seed, manga and anime.
Rouruni Kenshin, manga and anime.

R-Kenshin is violant but has like no fanservice or nudity. Seed has like one or two points of fanservice in the anime and manga combined. Pretty clean in that department. Also G-Seed is violant and has a little language.

Maybe Cyborg 009. I only have vol one, but the only thing to object too is a little language.

I don't know the Forums stance on Fansubs or Scanslation so I'll just ask: Would be linking to English unlicensed anime fansubs and manga scanslations against the rules?

If it isn't, I'd definitely recommend Death Note. It's about a guy called Light who is pretty popular and intelligent]PS:[/B] The manga is by the mangaka who did Hikari no Go.

They pretty much kiddified it. I mean Sanji was smoking all the time in the original (his trademark so to say). And now he sucks lolly pops

Not in the manga...
Viz hasn't made any graphical changes to the One Piece manga. It is rated T for Teens.
Viz seems to have toned the language down, something that I found somewhat odd.

My bad, I had misread that part. I was refering to the 4Kids anime version.

O__O are you serious? That's...that's just not right. -_-

Yes, I am. People are also speculating how they will modify Captain Smoker who's a guy who attacks with cigarette smoke and has cigars all over his body.

I'd recommend Tenchi Moyu.

I would have to agree with Alberto. It really takes a lot of discernment to watch and appreciate anime. One must remember that anime comes from a culture that thinks Christianity is a fad. But then again anything that you take in from the media nowadays you have to siff through to see what is worthy and Godly and disregard what is ungodly. Remember Philippians 4:8!!!!

any Gundam, Angelic Layer, Tsubasa, DNAngel...
good action and themes....

I DO, I DO! Ya, I love that manga. But beware that Vol.4 and 6 are pretty out there. Kinda unsettling. But it's still a pretty good series.

Jing, what a name! I have a cousin name Jing. Although I don't think she'll appreciate the title "King of Bandits". Nice ring though King-Jing-Sing-Ring-Mei Ling who wears a "Bling-Bling!!!" and so on.... (Kinda Sticks to yur head like Bubble Gum, oh man I won't be albe to sleep tonight!!!!!
