You Are Ms. Servant

Image
By
This anime is about a man named Hitoyoshi Yokoya who wakes up one day to find a girl at his door. This woman asks to be his servant, having been referred there by her former master. However, she has a dark past as an assassin. Scared by this knowledge, Hitoyoshi sends her away.¹

This doesn't last long as Hitoyoshi rushes after her, intending to return something she'd accidentally left behind. In his rush, he almost gets hit by a truck, but is saved by the mysterious woman. Hitoyoshi brings her in. Despite having requested to be his maid, she has no domestic abilities, yet Hitoyoshi names her Yuki and takes her in, offering her a chance to start a new life.¹

Violence

There is some violence in the show.² Common Sense Media says Yuki has flashbacks of when she was an assassin.³ Additionally, listed are "dangerous situations like kidnapping, combat, ... lasers, guns, super strength, punching, kicking, blades, whips, and bombs."³

The Scriptures are clear that violence is wrong. "Do violence to no man," is what John Baptist said (Luke 3:14). Who knows what's right? God through John the Baptist, or this anime created by an unbeliever? God opposes violence, and we should not find enjoyment or entertainment in it either.

"The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." (Psalm 11:5)

Immodesty

You Are Ms. Servant contains immodesty, both in appearance and action.⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ One character, "posing as a school nurse", says improper things towards a teen boy before climbing on top of him, attempting to seduce him.³ Additionally, a woman's undergarment is seen, as well as one who wears skin-tight clothing.⁴ Perhaps I shall be accused of nitpicking, but Yuki has braided hair.⁵ Let's look at the Bible.

"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)

Notice the things listed as being contrary to biblical modesty. This list is not comprehensive, but these are some of the areas that the LORD cares about. He plainly states that broided (braided) hair is immodest. Additionally, when one considers Proverbs 7:10, that there is such a thing as the "attire of an harlot," it becomes increasingly clear where Jehovah stands on this anime.

Conclusion

Christians who care about biblical morality cannot watch this show. The things it portrays and places before its viewers' eyes are evil. It is about time that we get up and wake up! Throw away what you "enjoy," because God does not care. The Lord has given us a clear moral standard, and when we violate that, He does not take pleasure nor does He find it okay.

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...

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...
