LOL, incompetently and arrogantly shoving your propaganda down everyone's throat is how you lost the culture war and caused this mess in the first place, and now the left is losing it for the EXACT same reason. And despite contributing to the fall of the west, you CONTINUE with the same strategy? If you Christians were actually competent in advertising your values properly, the world would not be in this mess.
I teach Japanese, and I read manga. But let's be honest: half of it is mindless "I get stronger when I yell", "oh no! now there's an even MORE powerful bad guy! What will we do?!", or "Kyaa, senpai!"
You argue that "Christians aren't showing their values properly", yet I'm a convert to Orthodoxy from atheism. There's currently a massive flood of people doing the same - every Orthodox church is saying the same thing.
There are the occasional break-outs, but you almost always have to stop watching/reading them half-way through because there's no story mapped out (Death Note is a great example, Great Teacher Onizuka is another example).
Those are the very nature of paganism: the strongest will is law, there's no real end to the story, you can bribe the powerful to have them do what you want, and the sort.
Believe me: it's better than the shit America's pumping out currently, but you have to understand that we're living in the times of the Nativity. There's a giant push for a census (global vaccine passport), and there's not enough room for everyone (hospitals are "overflowing"). The savior is being born, and the King will soon work his magic, be persecuted, die, and be reborn.

You say this like its a bad thing. I dont always want some epic on the human condition. Sometimes I want to just turn my brain off and watch two dudes punch each other at light speed so hard that one of them is sent flying to the literal moon (or did you think it a coincidence that One Punch Man ended up being extremely popular?).
And its not like anime is devoid of shows with serious topics. Fullmetal Alchemist deals with war crimes, government conspiracies, death cults, and an evil lead by an eldritch abomination. Demon Slayer is about an orphaned child going through hell and high water to keep his only remaining family alive, even though she is technically now a demon. Hell, even the ones that seem like jokes on their face can be serious. Fire Force has significant amounts of fanservice and joking downtime, but the main plot revolves around (spoilers) >! an extremist religious cult mass murdering people to perpetuate their own religion. !<
Which is the main reason Anime is so popular, IMO. It can be serious, or it can be fun, or if they are skilled they can walk the line between both. The amount of American media that can do that in this day and age can be counted on your fingers.
You seem to be kind of intolerant to Japanese media.
Death Note didn't have a clear part mapped out because it's part of the game. That's exactly the fun part. The goal was clear from the start, that L gets uncovered. HOW is just the question. How and when does he make a mistake that blows his identity as the perpetrator.
If you don't like shonen manga, that's fine. Most of them I don't like either. The beauty of it is that there is SOMETHING for EVERYONE. Do you like school drama? there are tons of those. Do you like down to earth fantasy? there is also some of those. Or just ridicules over-the-top but still realistic modern military action vs medieval infantry in GATE. There is even a 2 season anime about food ... yes, food.
The savior is being born, and the King will soon work his magic, be persecuted, die, and be reborn.
Unless you mean almost entirely metaphorically, which would be an odd thing to do in casual conversation, most people would consider what you're saying to be nonsense. And this is coming from someone who respects the impact Christianity has had on the west, and who lives in an Orthodox Christian country.
You pagan scum are responible for kids being indoctrinated with lgbsgwg garbage, communist indoctrinatikn, critical race theory, amd blm. Communists couldnt have asked for better goons tgan the pagan retwrds who sacrifice kids to thor for crops
