Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

“Anime is Christian” anime uses what is basically blasphemy constantly, a veneer of Christian aesthetic for the purpose of a plot or character. That’s how you get a “vampire hunter” adorned with crosses and saying jumbled church Latin. The Catholic Church would never admit vampires are real. These people are tourists about Christianity. And anime. Life in general. A fucking dandelion floating on the wind.
Yeah, Japanese culture is so non-Christian that they find Christian symbolism to be exotic, and weave it into their fiction for edgy shock value.
The bad guys in NGE are called 'Angels' very Christian, very cool
