Devils' Line

By
This anime is about a lady named Tsukasa and half-human, half-vampire mix, Yuuki Anzai.¹ "Tsukasa soon finds herself drawn to Anzai, who reluctantly reciprocates her feelings. However, this unconventional romance may prove too difficult to maintain, as Anzai struggles to contain the part of him that wishes to devour Tsukasa."¹

Explicit Content

There is immodesty and nudity in this anime. Crunchroll lists it as 18+. Two of the reasons is "Sexual Violence" and "Sexual Content".² This includes:

"a girl is kissed by a boy (he was out of control), she has a dream that of the two of them naked while [having coitus]."

"Tsukasa is shown with a loose overcoat on. You can see the sides of her breasts and the back of her buttocks"

"A female college student has a teacher that sexually assaults her. He is seen grabbing her and later her shirt is torn open and her [undergarment] pushed up somewhat."

"Two characters have a makeout/[coitus] session."

"Vampires (also called Devils) lose control when they see blood. They attack...sometimes sexually [assult or rape] the victim as well."³

This is not what God would have. Immodesty and fornication is not godly.

"Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand." (1 Corinthians 10:8)

God thinks fornication is such a grievous sin that 23,000 died in one single day for it! Additionally, 1 Timothy 2:9 teaches us that immodesty is wrong.

Vampires and Blood Consumption

When one thinks of vampires, they are known to drink the blood of humans. While this show diverges from the general understanding in that these vampires don't require blood for survival, they still drink blood.¹ The Lord tells us not to consume blood.

"¶ And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people." (Leviticus 17:10)

Yet, this show has vampires which "attack the person that is bleeding and suck all of their blood out".³ This is great wickedness. On the topic, "suck[ing] all of their blood out" sounds just like murder to me, does it not? Murder is against the Word of God.

Conclusion

This particular anime has lots of gore and sexual content. This show should be avoided by the Christian as it violates the Bible and what we are commanded to do.

Against Anime

By
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

By
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

By
"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...
