Eromanga Sensei

This anime is about a guy named Masamune and his step-sister, Sagiri.¹ When their parents die, Masamune becomes a light novelist in order to provide for those left of the family.¹ His illustrator is Eromanga-sensei who, unbeknownst to him, is actually his step-sister, Sagiri.⁽¹⁾ Sagiri draws "the most lewd erotica".¹

Immodesty and Nudity

As you likely gathered from what I have already said that this anime is full of immodest things. And, yes, there is quite a bit. In addition to the short skirts and bikinis, many inappropriate things are shown.

"Revealing clothing and sexually provocative poses are frequently depicted in illustrations. Girls are sometimes seen copying these poses."

"Some scenes show girls bathing/changing, with partial outlines of their breasts/buttocks visible (no explicit detail)."

"A girl draws a pornographic comic with the genitalia in the wrong spot, which leads to the girls questioning what male genitalia looks like. The famous David sculpture is shown, including its [genitals]."

"Acts of sexual harassment are occasionally portrayed for comedy, such as girls being forced to lift up their skirts by Eromanga-sensei."²

This is wicked! The Bible is clear that modesty is important. Here is that Paul said in 1 Timothy:

"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)

Let us, who are Christians, recognize this show is not biblical. We ought not to put these things before our eyes (Psalm 101:3).

Hebephilia

This anime contains the "Sexualization of minors, as young as 12".² This is hebephilia! It is nasty and wicked. For more information on this topic, read my post Anime's Unholy Fetish: No Innocence in Loli Culture.

Language

There is profanity in this show.² Crunchyroll lists the show as "16+" and lists profanity as one of the reasons.³ We are told that evil communication corrupts good manners by Paul (1 Corinthians 15:33). If we want good manners (which are biblical, Ephesians 4:29), then we need to not fill our minds with the filthy communication of the wicked.

Alcohol and Drunkenness

"Some infrequent depictions of adults drinking. One man is seen intoxicated and slurring his words."² Do you think this pleases the Lord?

"Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:21)

Drunkenness is sinful. If this sort of unholy behavior is being presented in this anime, why would us Christians watch that?

Conclusion

This should alert you to the problems in this anime. May we avoid it and instead focus on Christ and pleasing Him rather than our flesh.

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...

Christian Anime Podcast Exposed

"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...
