Beast Tamer

This anime is about a man named Rein who is "Kicked out of his Hero party".¹ He is a beast tamer and uses his power to tame different women from "ultimate species".²

Hybrid Bestial Symbiosis

The main characters of this anime are a human (Rein), a "neko-girl" (Kanade), a dragonoid (Tania), two dryads (Luna and Sora), and a "demigod" (Nina).⁴ All of these non-human entities are in violation of God's Word. For example, Kanade is mostly human, other than a tail and cat ears. We could also talk about the dragonoid with horns and a dragon's tail. Or even about the demigod Nina with her animal features as well. This is the opposite of God's design.

Humans and animals are separate. We, humans, were made in the image of God.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:27)

To mix humans with animals is contrary to how God designed it. There is a clear distinction between a member of the human race and a beast of the earth. To introduce characters like those found in this anime, we blur those lines, and that's wickedness. If God strongly condemns bestiality (Exodus 22:19, Leviticus 18:23, 20:15-16, Deuteronomy 27:21), then why would it be okay to mix man and beast in other ways? I repeat God when I say, "it is confusion" (Leviticus 18:23).

Each one of these women is "in love" with the main protagonist, Rein. There is that relationship there that is growing, which, as mentioned before, is strictly forbidden by Scripture.

Perversion

As is typical with an anime involving women, there is a scene where the women are in the water. During this scene, the women are unclothed, and thus Crunchyroll lists the anime as 14+ for "Nudity".¹ Additionally, one of the women wears a body suit, meaning her thighs are exposed. This is immodest and not okay. When sleeping, you can see the cleavage of one of the women.

"In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;" (1 Timothy 2:9)

"One of the girls makes frequent references to BDSM."³ This is not how unmarried people ought to speak. Also, the characters Luna and Sore are "lolis." In other words, they are "fully grown" yet look like prepubescent children. It's a sick, sexual perversion, and it's utterly disgusting.

Magic and Spirits

There is a lot of magic found in this anime. Most of the characters use magic or some sort of ability that would constitute as magic. As God says:

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (Exodus 22:18)

Witchcraft is anti-God. Because of this, it's clear that the LORD God would not have us to watch this. In the same realm, there is a female ghost that appears in the show. In the end, she is friends with the group.

"¶ A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:27)

God says that one who has a familiar spirit is to be stoned. We are not to get "friendly" with the spirits!

Conclusion

It is quite obvious to see that this show has many things wrong with it—from sexual perversion all the way to communion with a ghost. Its contents are filth, and we should avoid this anime.

Against Anime

180AD "Against Heresies" - Irenaeus 2025AD "Against Anime" - Kenyon Bowers I believe watching most, if not all anime, to be sinful. One may ask how I can make such a brazen statement. That's what this essay is for; I'd like to explain my case against anime. What is Anime? We must first define "anime." Anime, as I have gathered, refers to animation originating from Japan. This means that American cartoons (even if they look like anime) are not considered proper anime. Now, there's a little nuance as some consider donghua (Chinese animations) and Korean animations to be anime, while others make distinctions. For the purpose of this blog, we go with the latter definition which excludes donghua and Korean animation (though there is sometimes overlap). Thus, the running definition for anime I've come up with is: Anime , noun : Animation originating from Japan.  Why is Anime Bad? Now that we have a definition for anime, let's look at wha...

Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence

For this anime, it was hard to pin anything down. Not because there aren't things in it, but because neither IMDb nor Common Sense Media have anything written about its contents. I had watched this show soon after it was released (yes, I used to watch anime) so most of what I say is based upon my memory, but I tried to find sources for accuracy. Ecumenical Christianity This show has many crosses throughout. Lawrence (the pastor) and Cecilia (the saint) run the church right outside their town. Due to the usage of "pastor" and "saint," the crosses, and the church looking like the average old-time Baptist church, many have claimed the anime as a "Christian anime." The term "pastor" is mostly associated with non-denominational and Baptist groups while calling someone a "saint" (in an unbiblical sense) tends to be Catholic and Orthodox. Additionally, the way the "church" in this world is, it is somewhat of an ecclesiastical hi...

Christian Anime Podcast Exposed

"Fiction doesn't condone sin." - Kenyon Bowers There is a YouTuber with a couple thousand subscribers known as "Christian Anime Podcast." He claims he is "The leading Christian voice on AniTube"¹ and promotes what he calls "Christian anime." However, there are some things we can learn and reasons to avoid him. This is not meant to just attack him personally, but rather to inform and to show the results of his stance. First , he labels wicked things "Christian." There are so many examples of this. I would like to reference a specific one, however. " That Time My Wife Reincarnated as an Elementary Schooler is a Christian anime."² What does he mean that such an anime is a Christian anime? Neither reincarnation/possession nor borderline pedophilia are Christian. This just shows he will label wicked things as "Christian" because "it has a good lesson you can get from it." If that's merely all it take...
