So I am into anime and before I watch any shows or anime I usually look up the parents guide for that tv show. (I highly recommend the parents guide from IMDB. Really helps weed out all the bad shows) One anime I want to watch is Black Clover. The rating for sex/nudity is none (so there is none of it) which is awesome because it’s hard to find in shows for older kids. but it says one character wears a bikini for clothes. It also says it’s slighlty suggestive but rather tame. Would this be too innapropriate?
 
Do you feel like this show will lead you into sin in some way? I know anime can be highly sexual…If watching a show with a character that is scantily clad will cause you to lust or think sexually, then perhaps it should be avoided. But it depends on you personally. If it doesn’t cause you to sin then I think you’re ok.
 
Worrying about a cartoon in which a character wears a bikini strikes me as excessive for a 16 year old. But yeah, ask your parents I guess.
 
Thank you. I will probably cover up the shot anyway just cause I don’t want to look. If it’s excessive or what you said I’ll either skip the scene or stop watching the show.

That’s what I do. Unfortunately there are a lot of good shows that have some sexual / inappropriate scenes. So as to protect myself from seeing something that could cause me to lust, I just cover the screen and fast forward.
 
I’m glad you asked your mother. I think being concerned about a cartoon character in a bikini is leaning towards scrupulosity. I recommend you talk to your mother about your concerns and also with your pastor.
 
It’s fine, you just shouldn’t watch it because it’s awful 😛

Just kidding, I haven’t watched any of it yet. I heard the main character’s voice and decided to forgo.

If you like shounen anime, you should check out My Hero Academia. it’s a pretty solid Shounen, the best modern one I’ve seen and, despite a handful of risque hero outfits it has no ecchi, which is a nice change. (The risque hero outfits, for the most part, actually serve a purpose and match with each hero’s abilities, so it never feel gratuitous.)

If you’re interested in truly superb anime, Rurouni Kenshin and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are exemplary choices. I’m partial to Gundam Wing as well. None of those series have any real sexual content in them, so you’d be safe to watch them.

I’d say so. FMA:B is one of my favorite shows, and even the character explicitly named Lust isn’t particularly sexual.

Gore for Gore’s sake I’d agree is wrong, that’s part of why I don’t like a lot of slasher type movies, but gore can also be used to enhance a story. Honestly, there’s not a lot of gore in that show though…

Is there any anime without bikinis or sexual innuendo?

Yes, I’m joking a bit. I believe Wolf’s Rain and Ergo Proxy didn’t have any, but those shows were also (generally) focused more on telling more mature stories, not devolving into fan service. Coincidentally, those two were also my first animes, which really gave me the wrong impression of the style for a while!

While I don’t exactly know were one would draw the line, just to give my 2 cents…

I would imagine one of the more critical things when watching something with sexual content is that it does not incite(or tempt) one to lust. but with that said it’s almost impossible to avoid all sexual content in movies to the point if you nitpicked over everything you would end up not being able to watch much that’s any good because I have seen over 2,250+ total movies and just about all movies of any real worth are either rated PG-13 or R as while there is some that’s more in the PG range that are enjoyable, that selection is quite limited to the point if I could not watch PG-13 or R rated movies I would largely lose interest in movies which I would not like as it’s pretty much my general form of entertainment.

but I would imagine as a rough guideline… any shows with TOO much nudity/sex are best off being avoided because one can only be bombarded with those images for so long before lust sets in, or at least the temptation to it. NOTE: I know what’s “too much” nudity/sex might vary a little from person-to-person but it’s not that hard to tell that some TV shows/movies are loaded with it where as your more typical R rated movie might only have some occasionally to where if one is praying regularly (I strongly recommend praying The Holy Rosary daily!) you probably won’t cave into lustful thoughts and the like, at least not easily. because not every sex scene/nudity and the like will even tempt someone to those thoughts/actions and it passes quickly without issue.

but in the OP’s specific case… seeing a cartoon with a bikini I would imagine it’s not much of a issue especially considering the OP is female and I doubt that would incite lust in the vast majority of females (since they tend to be straight). at worst, off the top of my head, there might be potential influence for them to be a bit more worldly in their dress etc. but at the same time given RandomGirl’s level of concern over sexual content, I doubt this would effect her much, if at all, because the typical teenager is not going to avoid sexual stuff much at all in today’s world with it being pretty much everywhere and those following the world’s way will surely like it because it goes along with our natural inclination towards concupiscence etc because of our fallen nature. so given your level of concern, which is obviously much higher than the typical teenager(given your question in the topic), that’s already looking good for you as you obviously have a concern for purity etc unlike the typical teenager.

for the record… I have seen a fair amount of movies and shows with excessive sexual content (some shows I like, some I don’t care for) but I have pretty much cut those out of what ill re-watch as I tend to re-watch plenty of movies etc in general. but there is still a bit more I am probably going to cut out of my life even though I already dumped the more major red flag shows.
