How is anime a tool of satan? That doesn't even make sense. Anything can be seen as 'bad' if you use it wrong. If your son is attacking people because he's seen it on TV then maybe he's too young for Naruto. Anime is merely Japanese cartoons. That's it. It's not bad programming. It's simply not American. Anime encompasses anything from children's programming such as Hello Kitty to adult programming. The answer isn't to just disallow all anime but how about teaching him that what he sees on the television isn't how to behave? Maybe find a more kid-friendly anime or program instead.
When I was a teen I got into Charmed (isn't anime but fits the experience fits the topic) and my mom hated it because it was fantasy. The show is about 3 witches who are sisters and they come into their powers which they use to protect their city with. My mother thought it was of the devil. She allowed me to watch because I was a teen but she made cracks like "oh, you're watching THAT". I still don't get it. The show didn't make me want to be a witch nor did it make me disown my faith. It didn't make me want to go out and do witchcraft either. If your kid is mimicking the TV then he doesn't know fantasy from reality or he just doesn't understand how they make TV. Show him a behind the scenes of a movie or something complete with the green screen. You could probably find a how-to animation on youtube to show that these things are drawn and not real. I can see this if he's five. My 4 year old nephew mimics what he sees on the TV. Like on Blaze one character whines so now he cannot watch that one TV show due to the whining he's learned from it. We have to tell him it's broken (that's what his parents said to say if he and his brother ask for it).
