This is something that has been bothering me, how most anime isn't really Christian. I know there is the "Pyuuri-tan" character and comics... plus game... but i never see the comics on the internet sadly. and no translations. I love the style most anime is in, but i hate how most are more... **COUGH** explicit and showy.

Christianity is what, less than 1% of people in Japan, so I don't think there is any expressly Christian anime out there.

I don't think you'll find any anime that is purely Christian. But some slice-of-life style animes are pretty good. Things like Say I Love You and My Love Story and even Clannad (watch out though, this one's super sad) can be a good watch and they aren't especially showy or filled with evil things.

Christianity is pretty foreign to Japan. But I'd recommend Death Note if you want a good philosophical anime.

I have watched Death Note a long time ago (when I wasn't following God) and then when tried to watch the Netflix one (real life rendition). I got about 10 minutes into it, maybe not even that and I just couldn't watch it anymore. It was blasphemous as the shinigami was talking about Bible verses and twisting them.
