The Holy Anime Wars

Mako Kawai, an introverted college student, loves to watch cooking videos and creating the dishes she learns. Due to her introverted nature, Mako fears trying new things or making friends. Shinon Ogawa, a childhood friend of Mako's reunites with her in college, bringing Mako into her friend group.¹ Shinon, along with her friends Tsutsuji Higa and Kurea Furutachi, plan to start the  Food Culture Research Club . They invite Mako to join. Though she declines initially, she realizes this may be a way for her to better her life, get friends, and eat food with them.¹ Immodesty Though, in comparison with other anime, this anime seems clean, nonetheless, there is immodesty. In this show, characters wear short skirts.² This is not biblical. In Isaiah 47:1-3, the Bible defines the thigh as part of a person's nakedness. "[1]  Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shal...

Bell Cranel, a naïve young man, wants to become the greatest adventurer. After meeting the goddess Hestia, his hope might just come true. He goes into the Dungeon in the city of Orario, where dangers await him. How will he traverse a world where man and gods work together, and where the Dungeon threatens his very life?¹ False Gods and Demonic Creatures, and Magic Bell meets the goddess named Hestia. This is the Greek goddess of the home. What is Bell doing, working with a false deity? The scriptures straightly command us to have nothing to do with false gods. "[20]  But I say , that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. [21]  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. " (1 Corinthians 10:20-21) False gods are none other than devils. It is very dangero...

Every thousand years, the gods convene to decide whether to destroy mankind. This time, the gods decide it is time to destroy all humans. However, one of the Valkyries of Valhalla, Brunhilde, proposes enacting Ragnarök. Ragnarök is a series of one-on-one battles in which thirteen humans and thirteen deities battle each other. Due to the gods' pride, they accept, and Brunhilde must gather humanity's strongest for Ragnarök.¹ False Deities The first thing you likely noticed is the so-called "gods" from other world religions. This anime presents these deities to us and conveniently ignores the God of the scriptures. This is blasphemy! Essentially, they say, "All these gods are real... but Jehovah God is not." They take several things from the Bible (which we will get into), but then they ignore the Lord altogether. This is not an atheistic show, but it is an anti-Jehovah one. As Christians, we know, however, that the Lord  He  is God! Listen to what t...

In the world, there is a force called Astral power that mages use. However, the Empire oppresses any of these astral mages due to the destructive power they wield. The mages created their own nation, the Nebulis Sovereignty. The two countries have been at war for more than a century.¹ Iska, a knight imprisoned for freeing a mage, is released on the condition that he will take down the "Ice Calamity Witch." Iska desires to see the war end peacefully. The aforementioned "Ice Calamity Witch" is Aliceliese Nebulis, who, coincidentally, also wants peace.¹ Sexual Content There are several scenes in this anime where a woman is seen naked.² Additionally, for this show, Crunchyroll lists suggestive dialogue.³ Is this really what a believer in the Lord Jesus is supposed to watch? The Bible tells us to think on pure things, not these sexual, perverted things. " Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are jus...

Satan begins to take over the land of Ente Isla using his armies of demons. His advances are stopped by a heroine named Emilia, and Satan flees through a portal, landing in the human world. He is determined to return and conquer Enta Isla, once he figures out how to get back. Trapped in modern Tokyo, he must disguise himself as a human. However, he becomes passionate about climbing the corporate ladder. Thus begins Satan's life as a working human.¹ Demons and Satan The first, and most glaring issue, is that this show portrays Satan, regardless of how inaccurate. The very fact that someone thought it was even a good idea to name a demonic character after Satan reveals the wickedness behind the anime. Why would a Christian involve themselves with such evil? The Bible is clear that Christ and Belial (Satan) have no agreement with each other. " And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? " (2 Corinthians 6:15) If w...
