You Are Ms. Servant

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.

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...

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...

Beneath the Tangles Exposed

Within Christianity, there will always be those who compromise their biblical standards upon the altar of pleasure and entertainment. Just as this has been a struggle in the past, it is still a struggle for thousands of Christians worldwide. The creation of anime-supporting "Christian" media just adds fuel to the fire, hastening the destruction of the world under the pretense of "evangelism." On this note, I recently came across a Christian × anime group named Beneath The Tangles . This group supports anime, claiming one can "see God himself" through anime.¹ Their stated mission is: "Beneath the Tangles bridges the divide between anime fans and the Christian church by developing anime-related content and discussing anime and Christianity as expressed through anime, manga, and light novels; ministering to and loving Christian anime fans; and demonstrating faith by modeling Christ through interaction with our readers and followers."² They seek to p...
