Ya Salam 🤍
I started watching anime when I was pretty young. I remember Skip Beat, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Bakugan, and that one anime with the green alien frog—oh yeah, Sgt. Frog (Keroro Gunsou)!
One day, I watched Death Note and then Another. Honestly, I had no clue what was happening because I didn’t understand a single word of English back then. Looking back, anime actually helped me learn English. I used to sneak my older brother’s phone to watch anime on those illegal websites 😭. I even watched all of Naruto in Serbian dub, which, surprisingly, I still prefer over the English dub. Serbian voice actors really nailed it—ah, the nostalgia!
As I got older, I watched even more anime. 2019–2020 was my peak—quarantine had me binging 12 episodes a day (so unhealthy, don’t do it, guys). My first time visiting an anime store was in Germany, where I bought Moriarty the Patriot—my first-ever physical manga. It was like 10€, and I was so happy.
Over time, my taste in anime changed a lot. I used to be into gore-heavy stuff like Devilman Crybaby (solid 9/10, though I didn’t like the ending :")). But now, I can’t handle excessive violence, nudity, or horror. As a Muslim, I naturally started avoiding those kinds of shows. So, no more dark mystery anime for me—just chill romance, comedy, and action.
I won’t go too deep, but yeah, I’m always looking for new anime that match my vibe and make me laugh. So if you have any recommendations, let me know! 😊
Oh, by the way—I’m Amanda, married with two kids. I love cooking and watching anime. My worship for Allah means everything to me, and I pray that He guides every heart seeking the truth and wanting to be closer to Him. May we all reunite in Jannah 🤲🕋🤍✨
Thought ✨
For my fellow Muslims… Have you ever wondered, "Is anime haram?" If not, well, I did.
Anime itself is not universally haram, but as Muslims, we should be mindful of what we watch. So, no hentai—obviously. It’s permissible if it upholds good morals and avoids haram elements like nudity, excessive violence, immorality, and polytheistic themes.
For example, Natsume Yuujinchou promotes kindness, gratitude, and empathy, but it also features spirits, yokai, and minor deities, which could be concerning from an Islamic perspective. While fantasy itself isn't haram, repeated exposure to supernatural themes involving shirk can be problematic.
If you watch it purely as fiction without believing in its spiritual aspects and it doesn’t affect your faith, some scholars might consider it permissible. However, if you feel it influences your beliefs, it's better to avoid it.
It ultimately depends on your personal judgment and how it impacts your Islamic values
