What is the ruling on watching TV series with controls such as lowering the music volume, avoiding indecent scenes, and not being distracted from the remembrance of Allah? And is one who watches them while knowing of their prohibition sinful? And is it sinful to praise and encourage my friend's drawings of manga characters that possess souls?

This matter is a stratagem of Satan to lure you into watching, so turn yourself away from it; for the time of a Muslim is too precious to waste on such things. We have already clarified the prohibition of drawing animate beings unless they are incomplete in creation, so it is not permissible to encourage them in this evil.
