KJVYesterday

Today, people are often being dragged away by the media. They are following the popular trends and it results in the destruction of their Christian walk, their family life, etc. Sadly, one such person is Kane Dane from KJVToday.com.

Why am I talking about a random King James Bible defense website on here? Well, I believe we have a couple things to observe (and because it does have something to do with anime). Kane Dane, on May 17, 2022, released three articles on KJVToday about anime. They are as follows: "Devils Line Season 2: Release Date CONFIRMED or CANCELED!", "Hensuki Season 2 Release Date, Plot, Renewed Or Cancelled", and "Rosario Vampire Season 3: Release Date Confirmed Or Not".

I don't know about you, but a website dedicated to defending the King James Version of the Bible is not where I think anime articles ought to go. I have published articles on all three of these anime and can be found here:


I reached out to KJVToday about two of the anime (and another non-anime show) in May of 2024, but they never responded.

The email I sent to KJVToday (contact@kjvtoday.com)

Now, let's think about this. How did such a sound website for defending the KJV fall to this? Well, when one watches and consumes anime, it begins to cause a disconnect between them and God. It creates disfellowship. Is this possibly what happened with Kane Dane?

Another thing that takes place is your standards begin to loosen up. You begin to see things you would have abhorred as "not so bad." You begin to inch towards the world. There's the old saying, "Give them an inch, they'll take a mile"—that applies here. When you give the devil a foothold into your life, you've just granted him access into your life. Sure, it may take him some time to get all the way in, but little by little bit, he'll creep in.

We get to the point where our morals are degenerated, our relationship with God in ruins, and we don't feel ashamed. Kane Dane didn't feel ashamed that she (presumably a female based on the name) watched anime. In fact, she was so unashamed that the cover images for one of them has the backsides of two anime women on it! Where did the fear of the LORD go?!

This is a reason I am against anime. Nothing you watch is neutral—it will affect you. In the Psalms it says this:

"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me." (Psalm 101:3)

David says he will set no wicked thing before his eyes. This clearly applies to us as well. We are not supposed to watch things that contain sinful content. However, he doesn't stop there, he says that the work of them that turn aside will not "cleave to" him. The result of not setting sinful things before your eyes is that they won't cleave to you!

This all means that if you are watching anime (or anything for that matter), and it has sinful things in it, it will affect you in some way, shape, or form. Maybe that cleaving to you is simply it driving you to watch even more sin, but there will be a result.

This wasn't a super long article, but I think this real-life example of what anime can do to Christians and has done to KJVToday should serve to point you away from that media form.

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...
