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.

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...
