NTR: Netsuzou Trap

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.

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 ...

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...
