What is the ruling on loving anime characters that involve disbelief in their form, and their exciting events, while detesting the scenes of disbelief? And does emotional excitement and wonder at the exciting scenes and events of anime constitute disbelief, even with the belief in the falsehood of the disbelief-laden contents, if the intention is for entertainment and enjoyment?
The ruling on loving a disbeliever depends on the reason for that love. Loving a disbeliever for their disbelief is different from loving them for another quality they possess, such as courage or generosity, and this does not constitute disbelief. Watching content related to disbelievers for entertainment, while believing in its falsehood, does not remove the sin, but it does remove disbelief.
