Two
childhood friends and high-school students, Yuma and Hotaru, have
boyfriends. However, while on a double date, Hotaru discreetly rubs
Yuma's thigh, causing the girl to run off to the restroom. Hotaru
follows, and thus begins an affair between Hotaru and Yuma.¹
Immodesty
In this show, there is "Nudity" and "Sexual Content".² The women also wear short skirts. Since this anime is about cheating, don't be surprised that there is a lot of bad things going on.
"Two girls have a secret physical relationship. They are often seen kissing, and at times one reaches under the other's skirt or fondles her breasts."
"Some occasionally partially obscured nudity, such as female characters in the bath or waking up [naked]. No explicit detail beyond the outline of their breasts."
"The uncensored version, released on Japanese home video and only available via download online, contains detailed female frontal nudity."³
Do you think this is what Jehovah God would have His children to watch? Of course not! The Bible is clear that immodesty is wrong (1 Timothy 2:9) and therefore, we should not fill our minds with it. This anime is full of such immodesty.
Vile Affection and Broken Commitment
Biblically speaking, "boyfriends" and "girlfriends" do not exist. However, when you enter this man-made commitment, it is a vow that you're not going to be pursuing another. Therefore, just as God keeps His promises, so "boyfriends" and "girlfriends" should too. As the title of the anime states, it is an NTR (寝取られ (netorare), "cheating"). The two girlfriends cheat on their boyfriends with each other. They're violating that commitment! And they're doing so through lesbianism.
"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:" (Romans 1:26)
Two women changing the natural use "into that which is against nature". That is what this show does. Two women touching each other in ways they should not. One reviewer says:
"Because these morally reprehensible people overshadowed my interest in the other aspects of the event, I never really paid attention to the sound. One finds it difficult to care about any other aspect of a show when it glorifies a couple for their infidelity and abuse. NTR is among the worst anime series ever made, with a plot that never seems to end and some of the most [unlikable] characters you can imagine."⁴
This is not okay! The LORD would not and does not approve of such.
Language
In this anime, you'll find profanity.³ The Bible, however, it clear that improper language is not alright. In 1 Corinthians 15:33, it tells us to "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." What we hear is important because it can vex us (2 Peter 2:8). Let us watch media with good language, not bad.
Conclusion
This anime is disgusting. Few things can rival the hurt one feels when the one their invested in stabs them in the back. This sort of behavior is not okay, and it is wicked. And with the other content, there's just no way a Christian can justify this show.
