TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You

Nasa sees a woman named Tsukasa whom he falls in love with at first sight. He tries crossing the street to talk to her, only to be hit by a truck. Tsukasa intervenes and, thus, Nasa lives. Tsukasa continues on her way, but Nasa isn't ready to let her go. So he gets up and begins to pursue her. Nasa finds her and confesses his love. She tells him they can only be together if he marries her, to which he agrees.

Inappropriate Clothing

In this anime, there are short skirts on multiple characters—Tsukasa mostly wears short skirts. There is an innuendo of Tsukasa changing. You can see a shadow of her body. Nasa has a daydream about Tsukasa only wearing a towel. He also walks in on her changing, and you can see her upper thighs. Magazines are seen with immodesty all over them. One scene has Nasa and Tsukasa alone in a sauna.

"Be prepared to get flashed with close up shots of cleavage. There is a bathhouse scene that has signicent cleavage."¹

God defines nakedness from the waist, covering the thighbasically to the knee (Exodus 28:42, Isaiah 47:1-3). The characters in this show would often be considered "naked" by the Scriptures. This is immodest.

Blasphemy

The word "gosh" is used in the anime. Gosh is a euphemism for God so it's no different from saying God. There are also times when the Lord's name is explicitly taken in vain. We are told that God will not hold blasphemers guiltless.

"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." (Exodus 20:7)

If God won't hold them guiltless, neither should we. If the LORD is against this anime, I will be too.

Conclusion

We can see that this show contains content, such as immodesty, that God is against. Do you think that we, as Christians, should be watching a show like this? I trow not.

Against Anime

180AD "Against Heresies" - Irenaeus 2025AD "Against Anime" - Me 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 what makes me ...

Reflection One Hundred

The Holy Anime Wars  is a blog I started several months ago to help combat the ever-growing so-called "Christian anime" community, particularly their teachings. I praise the Lord for revealing the evils of anime to me and for pulling me out of that world. Reflecting on the Blog When I created this blog, I had no idea what it would become. As of the writing of this post, the blog has received over 6,800 views. The blog continues to gain hundreds of visitors per month, which seems insane to me. This success wasn't my own doing, as my writing is not that great. God is the one who saw fit to bless this blog, and I praise the Lord for His blessings. " Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. " (James 1:17) My desire, through this blog, is not merely to reveal the nature of many anime, but to direct people back to the Bible—"What d...

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...
