Would the world have been a better place if religion doesn't exist? What right does religion have to decide what's good and bad? Are they really the guide to life?

animes set in different parts of the planet

Classic mystery whodunnits or police detectives solving cases involving murder, theft, etc. with a limited number of suspects. Mostly episodic rather than a full series with only one plot/case. Some listings with supernatural elements but only if it fits the 'detective' part of it.

An assorted stack of anime series with some talented detectives and mind-boggling mysteries to uncover. Highly recommended for fans who love to put on a thinking cap and wrap their head around, trying to unravel secrets alongside the protagonists.

A selection of shows that centralizes on the idea of evil, whether as a direct presence or a symbolic representation, that revels in themes of hostility, corruption, debauchery and death that ultimately, cause the grievous and tragic collapse of one's sense of humanity. Due to its dark nature, this list is unfiltered and therefore, may display lurid elements that are problematic. But if you're here to seek the thrills of violence and the spills of blood, then witness the dance of the Devil.

Caveats:

• Most entries contain explicit materials, including gore and sexual content.
• Anime formats vary from film, anthology, short/ova and full-length series.
• If there are recommendation, I'll provide an extended note in the caption.

A bunch of anime that I feel are not as well-known or talked about. In other words "hidden gems".

This stack is intended for anime that are dedicated to people of various common (and not so) professions and areas of work. Of course, mostly realistic and everyday animes, with a few exceptions. I've made it my goal to choose shows that are pretty relatable and informative, so if said anime has fantastical or obviously unrealistic elements, I'll mention it in parentheses up front.

Also, given the huge number of shows about certain jobs (cook, teacher, idol), I tried to include only the most interesting shows, at least for me.

Depictions of catholicism (christianity) in anime through clergy characters, symbols, locations, etc. All genres/demographics.

(IN PROGRESS) I accept suggestions and questions. Would also probably add why each anime is here.

Trying to include the most possible even if: it's not relevant to the argument, it has a minimal appearance, it's not a explicit reference, just used for the aesthetics, a very bad/inaccurate depiction or blasphemy. Only first seasons, no specific order for now.


Keywords: religion, catholicism, christianity, catholic, christian, god, bible, prayer, nun, father, spirit, jesus, cross, crucifixion, sister, church, temple, holy, saint, crucifix, catolicismo, cristianismo...

Sources: tvtropes (kind of), me & suggestions.

- Christian elements, themes, and/or symbolism play some type of role in the plot or in the characterizations of these anime.

- Heads up, most of these definitely get the Faith wrong, but most are at least trying lol

Tropes are common denominators. Their viewers recognize them, laugh at them or groan at them, but most of us can guess where they're coming from—specifically, what cultural values are embodied in the trope.

Unfortunately, some Cliché just don't travel — or age — very well. They're fine on their home turf, where everyone understands them and knows what value system they're based on. When that trope makes the trip to another country, however, it gets seasick on the way over, arriving at port looking distinctly disheveled and finding itself among strangers who have no idea what it's talking about, It probably should not come as a surprise that there can be a fair amount of Values Dissonance when Western audiences watch anything made by Japanese people and intended for a Japanese audience.

Anime that implicitly or explicitly portray Christianity.

remembering that Japan is a predominantly Buddhist, Shintoist or, in most cases, atheist country.
