@Xdqwerty Growing up in USA I would hear about the shame, but there was no shame in Mexico. In Mexico everyone saw anime, it became ingrained the culture because it was on public tv, everyone saw it there
@Xdqwerty I think part of the stigma in the USA was that it was on cable so there was divide. when you have to pay to see something on tv, not everyone sees it
@Xdqwerty to address anime being of the devil would say Pokémon was pretty vanilla. Something like Full Metal alchemist has the protagonist learning forbidden knowledge akin to sorcery (alchemy) .
@Xdqwerty Additionally fundemental christians will call anything that does not follow the christian beleif system "of the devil".A lot of the animes will have Buddhist and
Shinto themes because those are the belief systems of Japan
