Sure, why not? I bet old Paul of Tarsus would get right behind all the Japanese for putting women down, jolly good, eh?
Source: nothing says women are devalued like Anime Paul-son, ah so desu ka?

Why would it not be right? Anime is diverse, and what could be considered immoral about watching anime in general would be the same for watching regular television in general.
Use practical judgement case-by-case. You said yourself that the shows you watch are "good." So why question it just because it's anime if you've already acknowledged they're good? Evaluate each show's morality on its individual characteristics, not characteristics of its classification, just as you would with anything else.

There is nothing wrong with this. You can be a good christian and watch anime. You can be a good christian and watch porn if you want. People have it twisted up. You can be religious and still be human too. People aren't perfect, and there is no way to be perfect. Everybody sins every day. One sin is equal to a thousand, so trying to rid yourself of what makes you happy just because you see it as sinful is not very good. You like what you like. That's the way it is, we are given life to enjoy life as well. Life doesn't have to be boring.

I'm not religious, but I love anime. What would make you think it wasn't right for you to watch it? Most of those animes are love stories, and Naruto is supposed to be a kid's show(Even though it would rock if they put it on [as]) ! Besides, there are lots animes that I've seen that have a thick religious undertone ( like Neon Genesis-Evangelion-BIG one there!) It's not like you're watching something degrading or devious, well, maybe, but it's definitely not on that list.

Those animes you listed are actually good and actually have morality instilled in them. Some are subtle about it. So there shouldn't be any conflict with religion at all.
Just remember to keep your perspective while watching them. And it is always your choice whether you are going to adhere to whatever lesson the anime you are watching is "subconsciously teaching" you or not.
Now, if you are asking about hentai....that's another story hehe

OK this is what I think only and if you are serious talk to your pastor, priest, or religious leader. I don't believe anywhere in the bible it says anything about anime. God does however be fruitful and multiply. So i don't think he has anything against sex at all. (which is why I think you maybe feeling conflicted) If it is mutually OK and its not violent it should be OK. And remember even nudity was with God until we ate from the fruit of knowledge and realized we were naked.

I don't see anything wrong with your choice(s) in anime.
I'm not a religious person,... but it shouldn't matter what religion you are as long as you like what your watching and they're instilling good feelings in you.
I like several of the ones you've listed myself. I love them and feel very warm and happy when I watch them.
Don't let your religion get in the way of your enjoyment. If it isn't hurting you or anyone else on a physical plane than forget about it and enjoy. :-)

If you are a Christian then God will deal with your conscience about what is right or wrong for you. If you are having doubts about watching this; then you need to seek God on the matter. If your conscience bothers you; then it is wrong for you. The bible says that " as we believe; so shall it be.

This almost reminds me of my friend in high school who got a cold and told me she thought God was punishing her for not doing her homework.
Quite frankly, if you live your life in a morally sound manner and don't let the anime consume your life to the point of obsession, you should be fine. I really don't think god will smite you for watching foreign cartoons.
