Ironically, one of the best counter examples is listed under the "do not discuss" titles, so I'm prohibited from posting a rebuttal to your argument. In any case, I'm somewhat suspicious as to why you want to compile a "top ten" list. It's one thing if people are commenting on bad anime as they come across them, but why do you specifically need ten ranked examples? The only way I could see that being useful is if someone wanted to publish an article on how "bad" anime is.

Okay, take out "top ten" if you don't like it. And in case you didn't see my other post, I used to be indiscriminating about which anime I watched... in retrospect a lot of the stuff I watched was bad. Christian friends who actually looked at anime for its moral content told me it was bad. And guess what, I've found a vast majority of anime is bad, if based on morals.
Panties, boobs, underage girls with older men, short videos with sexual innuendos that are so easy to see through they're transparent, brutal violence... these aren't just occasional instances, anime appear to thrive on them. So yes, now that you mention it, a lot of anime is bad. Ignoring it requires a lot of effort.

It's not like my faith is so weak that just because something animated suggested or flat-out said my faith and everything I care about is stupid that I'd stop believing or practicing it. Nevertheless I consider anime to be art, and I like my art to have positive messages; I like walking away from a work of art that tried to lift me up and bring me closer to God and things that are virtuous and good rather than towards philosophies and behaviors that are opposed to Him.

If it makes you feel dirty inside to watch anime then don't watch it, but don't go around telling people what they should and shouldn't watch because somehow your own personal opinion of a show's content is somehow the best in the universe.

D8 ), because while I know where to find this stuff, it's pretty easy to avoid. (Basically, if you saw a fire pit in front of you, would you jump into it? Of course you wouldn't. That's what it is like.)
See other explanations? XD; Besides being a bit confused by that, I'll move onward.primetech wrote: I didn't actively go out to find this stuff. "Friends" brought it to me. Repeatedly. Said friends I no longer hang out with. Also, see other explanations. I enjoyed anime the most when I decided limits were unnecessary.

Or the Bible's morals.
