Where does fictional anime get their crazed spiritual ideas from

[Sero]

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.

I think it's because the japanese have been pretty free from jewish religions for the most part and the Shinto religion that they have makes them connect to our God's. It create a connection. Many creative people's are spiritual or pretty intuitive and because they connect in some way to the God's then this is where many of their story would come. I always liked many things of the japanese culture and when i becomed a SS i understood why

I've writen quite a few things about some manga/animes and the messages behind them, such as Saint Seiya and Berserk. HP Hooded Cobra has writen about Japanese culture and anime as well.

I know next-to-nothing about this and the only type I have seen - and only some of - is Pokémon and that was years ago (correct me if that is neither Manga nor Anime), but based on what has been said, and the fact that Japan is a National Socialist country and has had very-little-to-no kike influence, it is a Natural inclination that all Gentiles should subscribe to and recognise, perhaps even if they're not into Manga/Anime, at a most fundamental, unconscious level. Naturally, we're attracted to Spirituality, because in a non-jew and non-religious world, this wouldn't be "spirituality" as people use the term, but it would be everyday, constant, 100% saturated life and in an unconscious way, people recognise this, I expect. Of course, I am just speculating, but it seems so to me.

As far as I know in Shinto the supernatural is something normal to them. Not just spiritual powers but also spiritual philosophy is shown in anime as well as expressing major allegories in a creative way. There's series that are basically a modern way to tell the pagan stories of old. Either sticking to actual teachings or just using them to add something cool to look at or used as good life lessons the protagonist learns. I believe anime is getting more popular not only by exposure but because the subconscious picks up on these things and naturally will make Gentiles interested in them even if they don't fully realize why. Especially now with the us here removing curses. There's a reason the sjws started to attack this genre as many times expressing the most natural things instead of the superficial crap these fools believe in. Besides the very few lefties or xians that watch anime I've found most fan base are atheists/agnostics or even pagans by their own self admittance. It's probably a good thing the youth are getting into this stuff more as it probably open a them up to the truth of spirituality.

On another note I plan on watching a irl Japanese tv series they have or something more mature since most anime is targeted for younger audience and that's fine but I myself have feeling like watching something with more mature content that isn't filled with jewish b.s. like most things in the West. I've been busy lately again but as soon as I can I'll probably look into some of their soaps or something lol.
