The Holy Anime Wars

In Tokyo's Setagaya ward, the Shiunji family lives with their seven children¹: Banri, Seiha, Ouka, Arata, Shion, Minami, and Kotono². Arata is constantly being pestered by his siblings for his inability to find a girlfriend.⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ However, one day, their father reveals that they are all adopted and, other than the youngest brother, Shion, and his twin, Minami, none of them are biologically related. In the aftermath of this revelation, Arata's sisters begin to approach him "with intentions that go beyond sibling affection."² Pseudo-Incest and Seduction In the paragraph above, I quoted MyAnimeList's description for  The Shiunji Family Children , in which they point-blank state that these girls' intentions "go beyond sibling affection."² It seems as if the author of this story wanted to avoid the issue of  actual  incestuous situations, but continued to push the  drama  that would come from such. "We're not blood-related, but all adopted, so it...

Kazuma Hoshino and his family are moving to a rural town. The two brothers, Kazuma and Ayumu, are sent ahead while their parents finish up business in the city. As such, the duo is heading towards the Yorozuyo Inn, the place they will be staying. This doesn't go well, however, as the two get lost, and Ayumu's hat is stolen by an animal. In attempting to retrieve the hat, Kazuma meets a woman named Ui, who helps him back to the bus stop.¹ One issue, though: On the way, he accidentally falls and ends up kissing Ui. Ibuki, Ui's friend, kicks Kazuma and sends him off. Unfortunately for him, these two girls are his new classmates.¹ Sexual Content and Immodest Dress There is immodesty in  A Bridge to the Starry Skies .² For example, the female characters are seen in immodest, short dresses/skirts. Additionally, some of their clothing is form-fitting. A female character's undergarments are seen.³ The Lord forbids His people from dressing this way. In fact, He warns us ...

A small, pink character known as Kirby crashes onto Dream Land. Kirby decides to defend Cappy Town, the home of those he's become acquainted with. He is defending this town from the evil monsters that the self-proclaimed ruler, King Dedede, sends.¹ Magic & a Devil IMDb tells us that in this anime, "Kirby has the ability [to] inhale his (non-human) opponents [and] to mimic their (magical) attacks."² Kirby has this ability-copying power, and it allows him to use magic! The Scriptures are clear that magic (i.e., witchcraft) is evil and demonic in nature. "[9] ¶ When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. [10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a ne...

The Republic of San Magnolia claims that they have no casualties, but that is propaganda.¹ The truth is that their "unmanned" drones are lies.² They are manned by Eighty-Sixers, people considered to be inferior and "less than human".² The anime is about Vladilena Milizé, the newly assigned Spearhead squadron "Handler," who seeks to fight against Eighty-Six discrimination, and Shinei Nouzen, captain of said squadron, who "insists on shouldering the names and wishes of his fallen comrades."¹ Nudity and Other Immodesty 86  has immodesty in it. According to Crunchyroll, this includes nudity, which is why they list the anime as 16+.² We also learn that women's cleavages are seen, and women are seen showering.³ Vladilena wears a short skirt.⁴ Does this seem like something God desires His children to watch? "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or p...

Are there "Christian anime"? Many anime-watching believers would affirm that there are. But what constitutes a "Christian anime"? What is the criterion by which we determine if something is Christian or not (e.g., anime, movies, video games)? Now, the term "Christian anime" is used, based on my personal experience, by a YouTuber " Christian Anime Podcast ," and those who listen to him. Whenever he says "Christian anime," what he means by that is an anime that contains Christian values. Thus, an anime may be full of idolatry, violence, and even severe immodesty, yet if it "teaches something" like forgiveness, it is called Christian. However, I would like to bring the Scriptures into this. What does the Bible say makes something Christian? What Does it Mean to be Christian? I find it appropriate to look at the first mention of Christians (by this term) in Scripture. In Acts 11, the believers at Antioch were called Christians for...

As an otaku, Tomoya Aki has spent years collecting various anime and light novels.¹ He is enamored by the stories and characters.¹ After an encounter with a woman, Tomoya is left with the desire to create his own game,² in hopes of sparking the same feeling that others have given him¹. He wants to model the heroine after the mysterious girl he'd met.² However, he cannot do this alone, so he recruits a childhood friend, Eriri Sawamura, to illustrate and Utaha Kasumigaoka to write the script.¹ To his surprise, the very girl he is modeling his character after happens to be his classmate, Megumi Kato.² Tomoya creates a fandom group to touch those who will play the game.¹ What he does not realize, however, "is that to invoke these emotions [in others], the [game's] creators" have to "experience the same feelings in their own lives."¹ Sexual Imagery Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend  contains inappropriate clothing. There is sexual imagery in the show.² Th...

Tomoki Sakurai has had dreams involving an angel ever since he was a child, causing him to awake, teary-eyed. His friend, Sohara, takes him to meet Eishirou Sugata, an "eccentric sky maniac", to get him help. Eishirou believes that Tomoki's dream is linked to the New World , "a floating anomaly that scientists have failed to understand."¹ Eishirou enlists them in the  New World Discovery Club  as its first members and sets a date for them to gather and observe the New World  in the sky. However, when that day arrives, a woman falls from the sky and begins to call Tomoki master. The  New World Discovery Club  spends its time learning about Angeloids that have come to earth.¹ Inappropriate Content According to Crunchyroll, this anime contains a  lot  of immodesty and sexual content. They list "Sexual Content,  Sexualized Imagery, [and] Suggestive Dialogue".² "Women wear revealing clothing, or are nude while bathing." "The ma...
