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.
