Protocol: Rain

By
This anime is about a man named Shun. He quit gaming after his father died and his sister became disabled due to an accident. However, he learns that his childhood friend's family, the Inatsuki family, is in a great amount of debt. In order to help pay the debt, Shun joins the game tournament known as the Xaxerion Championship.¹

Immodesty

In addition to short skirts, there are other inappropriate things found in this particular anime. Such things include bathing scenes and a time when a female is shown in her undergarments.² Additionally, the main character is seen in the shower and his buttocks are seen.² The LORD is very clear in telling us that immodesty is wrong—both on men (Exodus 28:42) and women (1 Timothy 2:9). Christians should not be participating in watching such content.

Profanity

Improper language is also found in this anime.³ The Bible tells us to put "away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee" (Proverbs 4:24). Such language is also a "breach in the spirit" (Proverbs 15:4). If we don't want to be vexed in what we hear (2 Peter 2:8), we should refrain from watching this anime due to the profanity it contains.

Conclusion

This show doesn't follow the Bible and its morality. A Christian should be able to read about the things found in the anime and realize, "This isn't pleasing to God." If it doesn't please God, it would not be something that we are consuming.

Christian Anime Podcast Exposed

By
"Fiction doesn't condone sin." - Kenyon Bowers There is a YouTuber with a couple thousand subscribers known as "Christian Anime Podcast." He claims he is "The leading Christian voice on AniTube"¹ and promotes what he calls "Christian anime." However, there are some things we can learn and reasons to avoid him. This is not meant to just attack him personally, but rather to inform and to show the results of his stance. First , he labels wicked things "Christian." There are so many examples of this. I would like to reference a specific one, however. " That Time My Wife Reincarnated as an Elementary Schooler is a Christian anime."² What does he mean that such an anime is a Christian anime? Neither reincarnation/possession nor borderline pedophilia are Christian. This just shows he will label wicked things as "Christian" because "it has a good lesson you can get from it." If that's merely all it take...

Against Anime

By
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

By
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...
