Dandadan

This show is about two people, Ken and Momo. Ken believes in aliens and UFOs while Momo is into the occult and the spiritual world. They find themselves dealing with various spiritual and extraterrestrial phenomena.¹

Sexual Themes

This show has a lot of immodesty. The women wear short skirts. Additionally:

"Characters shown naked or in underwear, but nothing sensitive shown."²

While it says that "nothing sensitive" is shown, the world's definition of "sensitive" is nothing beyond genitals. Us, as Christians, understand that's not the only place to draw the line. Aliens try and rape Momo and they rip her clothes off, leaving her in her undergarments. The aliens' robotic reproductive organs are shown during this scene.

"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)

Women are supposed to be modestly dressed. This show contains improperly dressed women.

One of the main plot points is that a spirit stole Ken's genitals, and so they are trying to get them back.² In the same vein, the same spirit offers Ken to "Suck on her teats [note: I only left this because the word in used in the Bible] if he lets her gobble his [gential]."²

Demonic Activity

We know that "extraterrestrial beings," such as aliens, do not exist. Thus, it is clear that both the spirits and the aliens are all demonic entities. One of the spirits, Turbo Granny, is forced into a maneki-neko and becomes "domesticated."³ She lives with Momo and her grandma. Other aliens and spirits show up a lot throughout the anime. Ken gains Turbo Granny's powers, and he can transform into a demonic creature.⁴

We are told to "try the spirits" (1 John 4:1). These spirits are not of God, they are from the wicked imagination of man (Jeremiah 17:9).

Profanity

There is a lot of profanity in this show.² We know, from the Bible, that such language is wrong and sinful.

"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)

Christians should not fill their mind with content using improper language. For this reason, we should avoid it.

Conclusion

We can clearly see that this anime is involved in the occult. This is against God and against His Word. Let us have discernment and realize this is not godly!
