Below is a list of anime-related terms used on this site along with explanations of each one. This is provided for those who might be unfamiliar with the terms surrounding anime, or have questions about what certain terms mean. If you are an anime fan, you most likely already understand most of these, but if you are a Christian researching anime to understand how wicked it is, this list will prove useful for your studies.
Remember to cleanse yourself with the word of God after reading these terms if you are a Christian, for many of them might be vexing to your spirit. If you are not a Christian, then please read the first five chapters of John and pray to God for forgiveness of sin and salvation from death in the name of His Son Jesus Christ. Then your mind will be renewed by the Holy Ghost, and then the terms below will begin to disturb you in a way they didn't before.
