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.

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...
