Watching Anime (Japanese Cartoon) Halal Or Haram?
The God we know doesn’t act like that. His ways can’t be imagined or imitated.

No it’s not shirk. Shirk is worshipping them and making their your Rab. These characters are fictional being with super powers and the God we believe in is nothing like that. For example Arceus from Pokemon or Raiden from Mortal Kombat from an Islamic POV can’t be considered as a god because they have a form and are made just for entertainment purposes. Allah is nothing like that. Shirk is only if you start beleiving in and worshipping Arceus or Raiden which no sane person will start doing. As for it being a sin, I think if it does lead to tarnishing your character or away from religion, it’s fine. Like everything in life it’s just important not to over indulge to the point that you are forgetting your religious obligations.
