Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro

This anime is about a lady, Nagatoro, and her "senpai" (a term referring to an "earlier colleague," i.e., one of a higher grade, or "year", in Japan), Naoto. I know a guy who, after watching this anime, became rather degenerate and ended up compromising heavily on doctrine and standards. This show is harmful to Christians.

Overtly Explicit

This show is on the border between "soft porn" and straight up pornography. Common Sense Media states that in this show there are "Constant sexual references and innuendos."¹ Additionally, the women wear short skirts and "revealing clothing."¹ The "outline" of a woman's genitals are shown.²

"In the beach episode, Nagatoro and her friends change into swimsuits...Cleavage is visible."²

"There are scenes of Nagatoro showing her underwear, fondling her breasts, unbuttoning her shirt, and a scene where she is completely nude while her private parts are only covered by her hands."¹

The IMDb page lists many of the actual "Constant sexual references", but I don't feel they need to be spoken of in-depth. I don't believe any saved person living in accordance with God Word will need any other reasons to not watch this show. The Bible says to think on things pure and of good report. This anime is the opposite of that.

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8)

Nagatoro (the main female in the anime) is a Proverbs 5-7 woman. Her lips "drop as an honeycomb" (Proverbs 5:3), she is a "evil woman" (Proverbs 6:24), and a "woman with the attire of an harlot...She is loud and stubborn" (Proverbs 7:10-11). There are many other things in those passages that could be used to describe her, but that should suffice.

Conclusion

This is a shorter article, yes. But that's because the anime is mostly just Nagatoro "toying" with Naoto with sexual things. That's the whole theme of the anime and it is wickedness.

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...

Pokémon

Pokémon was a show many grew up watching. People will certainly feel personally attacked when I speak of the wicked things found in the show. Many have spoken on Pokémon long before me, and they have been ridiculed—I am not expecting any other response. Immodesty Just like the average anime in which there are beach episodes, the woman are in bikinis.¹ On top of this, woman are in tight-fitting and revealing clothing. "Various female characters-notably the recurring character of Jessie-wear clothing that is revealing, tight-fitting, or both." ¹ "As is typical with anime, female characters wear short skirts, breast-enhancing tops."² Bikinis, short skirts, tight clothing, etc. are anything but modest. It's utter filth. As Paul relays to us: "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) When a show has immodesty in it, espe...
