A lot of Japanese anime seems to strike my mind as a super genius intrepretation of spirituality in a way.
I can't help but view things in a very metaphorical way, you have an anime like Death Note for example that has a note that kills anyone that has their name written inside it, and has a God of Death which pretty much represents a demon but in a negative light. I can't help but view this "Death Note" as a metaphor for death magick and spells, and this Death God as a parasitical spirit.
Or anime like Bleach, where it shows spiritual warfare in a different light, where the protagonist shifts planes and fights spirits as well that operate under different gods and entities.
I may be reaching at this point, but do you guys think there could be a link? There's something very spiritual rooted within those two shows but I can't pinpoint it quite clearly, but it may just be because of how much spiritual knowledge is thrown around in Japanese culture, perhaps.
