Is watching Anime Haram?

[Dhrubo]

Hello, I am 18 years old and currently studying in college. I have recently started to pray and follow all the Islamic things. I stopped listening to musics, songs or watching movies.
My question is, Is it Haram or sin, to watch Anime? Anime is cartoon if you are not familiarized with the word.
So is it haram/sin? And I am doing my prayers in time and I am sure it will not affect my prayers or my faith in islam. Is it still a sin?
One more thing, the animes/cartoons I watch, they got no bad scenes that will cause u harm. Some do have magic and stuffs like that, but I am not believing them, so is it still a sin?

~Please answer me with references if possible.

Thanks a lot!

Basically think of it this way that watching it is like wasting time. You could be doing something useful using the same time.
Same could go with films. I guess it's up to your own self.

Yeah you can watch anime, but you should be careful. Many have shirk or hentai

I don't watch those types. only the action one's like Naruto One piece... And I know it's a waste of time, but if I pray regularly and recite the Qur'an, can I no at least watch anime 2hrs a day?

I never really watched Anime. We started watched street fighter but it is just like soaps. Keeps going on and on. Although some bits were really good overall it was a lengthy drag. Same goes to most Anime. I would rather read a long series of books rather than sit and watch.

I was shocked when I found this out I thought Tobi was going to be Madara.

To the OP I hope not I love Naruto and Inuyasha. I think it depends like I stopped watching bleach because it has a lot of Shirk in it to me.

Watching things with magic and superhuman abilities is definitely not good to watch. It weakens you eeman at the very least. People that fly, shoot beams summon creatures . A muslim who fears allah shouldn't be watching things of that nature
