Rosario + Vampire

Image
By
This anime is about a guy named Tsukune who goes to a new school. This school is a school of monsters.¹ "Monsters" sounds very godly (I hope you can sense my sarcasm).

Ecchi

If you're unaware of what "ecchi" means, it refers to manga, anime, etc. with sexual themes. The anime in question, Rosario + Vampire, fits this bill perfectly. Let me list you a few things the IMDb page says:

"Several [undergarment] shots each episode."

"In S2E4, Moka and Yukari are seen taking a bath together. Their areolas are visible the entire time (somewhat covered by the water), but later frames show actual nipples."

"Season 2 has significantly more fan-service, with almost every shot [containing] someone's [undergarments] exposed or...breasts."²

And there is so much more—that is barely scratching the surface. This stuff is not for us to watch. It is inappropriate and violates the biblical command for women to be modestly dressed.

"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)

The Bible speaks clearly here. If a woman is not dressed in "modest apparel" then she is in conflict with the Scriptures.

Hebephilia

Not to be confused with pedophilia (that is, the attraction to/sexualization of prepubescent children), hebephilia is the attraction to/sexualization of a pubescent child (11-14/15). In this anime, the camera shows the undergarments of an "11-year old girl" and it is "played for laughs".² It is never okay or justifiable to sexualize a child.

Without "natural affection" is listed in Romans 1 about the reprobate person. It is clearly a sin to be thinking about a child in this way, no matter how much you say it is "just for laughs."

Profanity

There is language in this show.² Pretty much most of what could even be thought will be employed in this anime. As Paul tells the church at Ephesus:

"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." (Ephesians 4:29)

God condemns the usage of such language. Anything we hear will affect us, so we need to guard our ears.

Beer

One character drinks beer.² The Bible is explicit when it states that the priests were not to drink wine because it was unholy (Leviticus 10:10). We should not watch things that are considered unholy by the Lord.

Conclusion

It doesn't take much looking to find a lot wrong with this anime. This show is full of disgusting and degenerate content and is not to be consumed by the Christian.

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...
