My Dress-Up Darling

This show begins with a man named Gojou who loves making hina dolls. He spends much of his time creating clothes for the dolls. The woman, Marin, has a desire to cosplay but she is not very skilled in sewing. She enlists the help of Gojou to create outfits for her to cosplay in.¹

Sexual Content

In this anime, immodesty and sexual content are found. There are cleavages and short skirts. On top of that, Crunchyroll says there is nudity and suggestive dialogue in the show.²

"Cleavage is shown and the main character gets partially naked"

"The main character is trying to make a girl a dress and needs her measurements so she takes off her clothes and has a bathing suit on"

"A young girl comes out of the shower in one scene and drops her towel. Mostly censored, but a lot of her buttocks is clearly shown."

"Occasionally over-the-top animation of sexual content."

"A ball gag is shown and inappropriate adult faces are made very early on in the anime."³

On top of this, the cosplay outfits are all very inappropriate. This anime is very heavy soft porn. Do you think this is pleasing to God? Of course it's not. The Lord tells women to be modest.

"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)

This verse reveals to us that modesty is not an option. Modesty is a requirement. Thus, a show, like this one, that contains a lot of immodesty is not okay or fine.

Profanity

There is also some profanity in this anime.³ This includes taking the Lord's name in vain. Such language is not alright. It is wrong, and thus the Christian should not fill their minds with it.

"(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)" (2 Peter 2:8)

If Lot vexed his soul by what he heard, don't we think we should take heed lest we fall (1 Corinthians 10:12)?

Conclusion

Such content is displeasing to God. It is wrong and sinful. May we remember the price Christ paid on the cross. Paul asks, "Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" and he answered, "God forbid" (Romans 6:1-2)!

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...

Pokémon

Pokémon was a show many grew up watching. People will certainly feel personally attacked when I speak of the wicked things found in the show. Many have spoken on Pokémon long before me, and they have been ridiculed—I am not expecting any other response. Immodesty Just like the average anime in which there are beach episodes, the woman are in bikinis.¹ On top of this, woman are in tight-fitting and revealing clothing. "Various female characters-notably the recurring character of Jessie-wear clothing that is revealing, tight-fitting, or both." ¹ "As is typical with anime, female characters wear short skirts, breast-enhancing tops."² Bikinis, short skirts, tight clothing, etc. are anything but modest. It's utter filth. As Paul relays to us: "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) When a show has immodesty in it, espe...
