Protocol: Rain

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. 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.

Are There "Christian Anime"?

Are there "Christian anime"? Many anime-watching believers would affirm that there are. But what constitutes a "Christian anime"? What is the criterion by which we determine if something is Christian or not (e.g., anime, movies, video games)? Now, the term "Christian anime" is used, based on my personal experience, by a YouTuber Christian Anime Podcast , and those who listen to him. Whenever he says "Christian anime," what he means by that is an anime that contains Christian values. Thus, an anime may be full of idolatry, violence, and even severe immodesty, yet if it "teaches something" like forgiveness, it is called Christian. However, I would like to bring the Scriptures into this. What does the Bible say makes something Christian? What Does it Mean to be Christian? I find it appropriate to look at the first mention of Christians (by this term) in Scripture. In Acts 11, the believers at Antioch were called Christians for the first ti...

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...

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 ...
