It is permissible to watch animated films (anime) and read comic books (manga) if they are free of Sharia prohibitions, and likewise to translate them. However, it is not permissible to translate films and stories that contain forbidden elements, nor films that contain music, even with a warning to mute the sound, because many do not adhere to this warning.
