    Digimon Season 1 might be the closest thing to Christian.

    When I was 13, the one Saturday morning that my fundie Christian mother decided to make an appearance before noon, Digimon season 1 was playing on the TV when she walked in. As soon as she’d seen three seconds of it, the whole channel was banned on Saturdays before noon (and I didn’t have cable, so there weren’t any other Saturday morning cartoon channels worth watching), all anime was of course summarily banned, and I got a talking to about Pokemon and Digimon being “satanic.”

    It was about three years later on slow-ass DSL that I discovered Kazaa had anime. It took like two days to download a 23-minute episode, but by god I downloaded so fucking much anime that way. It was easier to sneak that than the TV in the family room.
