No Way to Anime

Anime cartoons and their characters are a huge cultic phenomenon, the most popular of all escapist media venues. It is very addictive and very dangerous, to the soul and the mind. I don’t post weird stories, but this blog by Zoe Romanowski from Inside Catholic, along with another, even sicker, story I came across a month or so ago, should alert anyone whose children (even young adult children) are into Anime to banish the material from the home. Anime addiction is progressive. It starts off with some innocent serial stories, via comic books and videos, and, if you move up the scale, it quickly descends into paganism, moral perversity, and graphic violence. Bookstores are packed with this infantile literature. I once saw five shelves full of Anime comic books in one Waldenbooks’ store. The story about the deranged girl who acts like a wolf caught my attention because of her addiction to Anime.
