The Holy Anime Wars

This anime is about a man named Hitoyoshi Yokoya who wakes up one day to find a girl at his door. This woman asks to be his servant, having been referred there by her former master. However, she has a dark past as an assassin. Scared by this knowledge, Hitoyoshi sends her away.¹ This doesn't last long as Hitoyoshi rushes after her, intending to return something she'd accidentally left behind. In his rush, he almost gets hit by a truck, but is saved by the mysterious woman. Hitoyoshi brings her in. Despite having requested to be his maid, she has no domestic abilities, yet Hitoyoshi names her Yuki and takes her in, offering her a chance to start a new life.¹ Violence There is some violence in the show.² Common Sense Media says Yuki has flashbacks of when she was an assassin.³ Additionally, listed are "dangerous situations like kidnapping, combat, ... lasers, guns, super strength, punching, kicking, blades, whips, and bombs."³ The Scriptures are clear that violence is ...

The Future Diary  is an anime about the middle school boy Yukiteru Amano. He records his daily activities in his phone, using it as a digital diary. Yukiteru has two supposedly imaginary friends, Deus Ex Machina—"the god of time and space"—and Mur Mur. However, Yukiteru's world is about to turn upside down as his diary updates itself, detailing soon-to-be events that are yet to unfold.¹ He soon learns that one of his classmates, Yuno Gasai, also has a similar diary. Later, in a meeting with ten others, Deus Ex Machina reveals that they are to seek and eliminate the other contestants, becoming Deus Ex Machina's successor. Yukiteru and Yuno must use their cellphones-turned-future diaries to survive deadly battles.¹ Violence The whole plot of this anime is about trying to survive/win a fight to the death between twelve contestants. As such, it is obvious that the show would be full of violence. Crunchyroll lists the anime as 18+, with violence as one of the content warni...

Black Bullet is an anime about humans and a virus called Gastrea. This virus turns its victims into monsters. However, Gastrea has one weakness: a material known as Varanium. To combat the Gastrea virus, there are female children known as Initiators, also referred to as "Cursed Children." The Initiators' bodies have minute amounts of Gastrea, granting them superhuman powers. Initiators are assigned partners, called Promoters, whose role is to protect their Initiator. One such pair is that of Enju Aihara (Initiator) and Satomi Rentaro (Promoter), who fight Gastrea in Tokyo.¹ Improper Clothing and Pedophilia There are some immodest things in this show. For example, girls wear short skirts, and there are bathing scenes². This anime sexualizes the young girls, and this is not godly! One blog notes that the show hypersexualizes loli (that is, young female) characters.³ The Scriptures instruct women to dress modestly (1 Timothy 2:9). Yet, this anime not only goes contrary to t...

Shouko Komi is a popular girl in high school. However, she has an issue: she has a severe case of social anxiety and is unable to communicate with her classmates. When Hitohito Tadano and Komi were alone in a classroom, Komi was forced to communicate with Tadano via the blackboard. After learning of Komi's desire to make one hundred friends, Tadano chooses to help her, becoming her first friend.¹ Immodesty As with many rom-com anime, inappropriate clothing is found. It's not just short skirts, though that is part of it. There are other things in the show that are considered immodest. "There's an episode where Komi and her friends go to the pool. Once the group of girls are changed into bikinis, 3 boys rate their bodies." "A girl gives another girl a nude statue of herself"² "Lots of cinematic shots of school girls' upper thighs in short skirts."³ This is not pleasing to the Lord. When God commanded women to cover themselves modestly, that d...

A self-focused magician, Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière (what a mouthful), is a student at the Tristain Academy. However, there is an issue: "Louise is unable to cast magic properly, earning her the nickname of 'Louise the Zero' from her classmates."¹ The first-year students perform a summoning ritual, and Louise's ends in an explosion. When everything clears, however, there is a human, Saito Hiraga. Since Louise summoned him, he is treated like her slave. They find a brand on Saito's hand which "is believed to be the mark of a powerful familiar named Gandalfr."¹ Sexual Content In this anime, women wear short skirts, and some have exposed cleavages. There is also other sexual content,⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ such as a woman on the front of a porn magazine, people in baths, people dressing in revealing kemonomimi outfits, and a woman using her body to keep a guy warm.⁴ This alone should alert the Christian to the immorality in this show. People should wear cl...

"In the continent of Astraea, a man falls from the sky".¹ His name is Yuuki, and aside from his name, he has lost all memory. An elven girl named Kokkoro guides him, teaching him about how the world they're in works, including battling monsters, which is one such thing. Requiring money for their travels, they decide to take a job at a local guild. On this mission, they meet Pecorine, a skilled fighter. Additionally, they find a mage nekomimi, Karyl. They decide to start their own guild, and the quartet travels, seeking to find out the "mysteries behind Yuuki's missing memories."¹ Immodest and Sexual Content We are told that this anime has immodest and sexual content.² Women in this show wear short skirts, and several of them have exposed cleavages. IMDb states that girls "are seen partially nude" and that some "female characters wear suggestive clothing."³ Additionally, a woman has pixelated magazines of naked women.³ Not only does the im...

Mio and Maria are Basara Toujou's new stepsisters. These two women, although initially appearing normal, are actually demons, particularly Mio, who is the daughter of the former Demon Lord. Basarais revealed to be a former Hero, the enemy of the demons. Coming to care for his new stepsisters, he decides that, instead of using his powers against them, he will use his power to  protect  them. Now he must protect them, not only against the heroes, but also from other demons.¹ Sexual Content This would be considered an ecchi  anime. For one, nudity and sexual content are found in the show, according to Crunchyroll.² Women wear short skirts, and cleavage is seen. Also, when  Basara first meets Mio, it is in the bathroom.¹ "The uncensored version features a lot of nudity. Mostly naked breasts and buttocks." "Full frontal nudity of women [is] often seen."³ Considering these facts, there is no reason that anyone ought to be watching it. This anime is in direct conflict ...
