The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat

This show is about a man who is the "finest assassin" (hence the title), who is killed and reincarnated into a new world. Just the start of this post should alarm you to the plethora of sinful content to be found in its frames (would have said pages, but it's an animation, not a book).

Immodesty

As with most anime, this one, too, has immodesty present throughout. A lot "of cleavage is shown throughout the show."¹ On top of this, "Commercial breaks are started and ended with images of the characters naked while their very sensitive areas are covered up[—]such as nipples and groins. However, the shape of the breasts is clearly shown."¹ Such things should never show up on a child of God's device screens.

"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)

Pedophilia

The main character is a full-grown man reincarnated into a new world. He retains his memories and has a harem. This harem includes a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old. While he is only 14 in this new world, as mentioned, he retains his memories. He is a 14-year-old boy with a middle-aged man's mind. Combined with the way those girls are sexualized, this is pedophile activity. Utterly disgusting.

While these girls do not physically know him, the fact that they're being sexualized like this, and that they are "love interests," is very concerning. The Bible teaches that such things should only be for those who are of marrying age. For more information, see my post Anime's Unholy Fetish: No Innocence in Loli Culture.

Abused Women

Several woman are forced into an orphanage where they are sold as prostitutes and physically abused.

"Pervy men touch teenaged girls and children inappropriately. The girls are sex slaves and are sold for a night to be raped frequently. No rape is shown, but heavily implied by dialogue and the reaction of the girls as they return home and when they leave, looking distraught in elaborate skimpy clothing."¹

This, of course, on top of the immodest clothing, is utterly wicked.

"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18)

Murder

A major theme of the show is murder. This should have been obvious from the anime title, "The World's Finest Assassin..." Murder is the unlawful killing of a person. What did God say about murdering another human?

"Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." (Genesis 9:6)

"Thou shalt not kill." (Exodus 20:13)

Killing a man (unlawfully) is wrong. We should not watch shows which contain such violence. It is against God.

Magic

This show contains a lot of magic as well.² As God states in the Law He gave to Moses, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" (Exodus 22:18). In another place it states "There shall not be found among you any...that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch" (Deuteronomy 18:10). Magic is anti-Christ and anti-God.

Conclusion

There is much morally wrong with this anime. There is no way to even attempt to defend the indulgence of watching it. The show is morally reprehensible and should be avoided.

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...

Are There "Christian Anime"?

Are there "Christian anime"? Many anime-watching believers would affirm that there are. But what constitutes a "Christian anime"? What is the criterion by which we determine if something is Christian or not (e.g., anime, movies, video games)? Now, the term "Christian anime" is used, based on my personal experience, by a YouTuber Christian Anime Podcast , and those who listen to him. Whenever he says "Christian anime," what he means by that is an anime that contains Christian values. Thus, an anime may be full of idolatry, violence, and even severe immodesty, yet if it "teaches something" like forgiveness, it is called Christian. However, I would like to bring the Scriptures into this. What does the Bible say makes something Christian? What Does it Mean to be Christian? I find it appropriate to look at the first mention of Christians (by this term) in Scripture. In Acts 11, the believers at Antioch were called Christians for the first ti...

Beneath the Tangles Exposed

Within Christianity, there will always be those who compromise their biblical standards upon the altar of pleasure and entertainment. Just as this has been a struggle in the past, it is still a struggle for thousands of Christians worldwide. The creation of anime-supporting "Christian" media just adds fuel to the fire, hastening the destruction of the world under the pretense of "evangelism." On this note, I recently came across a Christian × anime group named Beneath The Tangles . This group supports anime, claiming one can "see God himself" through anime.¹ Their stated mission is: "Beneath the Tangles bridges the divide between anime fans and the Christian church by developing anime-related content and discussing anime and Christianity as expressed through anime, manga, and light novels; ministering to and loving Christian anime fans; and demonstrating faith by modeling Christ through interaction with our readers and followers."² They seek to p...
