Rock is a Lady's Modesty

The title "Noble Maiden" is awarded to students of the Oushin Girls' Academy who "embody the ideal Japanese woman of culture and refinement."¹ When a rich real estate agent remarried, Lilisa Suzunomiya became his step-daughter. She is determined to prove that even commoners like herself can be noble. However, Lilisa is having a hard time letting go of her love for rock music, despite trying to appear dignified.¹

This all comes to an end when she meets a fellow student named Otoha Kurogane. Lilisa found her in an abandoned school building and learned that Otoha was a skilled drummer. The pair lives a double life as they embrace their musical desires.¹

Profanity

This anime uses terrible language.² There is nothing about a profane mouth that is godly or holy. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The Scriptures tell us that we are to let "no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth" (Ephesians 4:29).

With this in mind, we Christians should not take pleasure in watching shows or anime with this evil speech in them. We are told in 1 Corinthians 15:33 that evil communications will corrupt our good manners. Everything that you put into your mind will influence you, and the Lord tells us that perverse lifestyles will corrupt us. That is why it is so important that we guard ourselves from consuming sinful media.

Additionally, the Proverbs explicitly charge us to keep this sort of speech away from ourselves.

"Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee." (Proverbs 4:24)

In context, this verse comes right after a charge to keep our hearts pure. And later, the passage says that we are to move our foot from evil. Thus, when a show contains profanity, we are not to watch it. This is one reason why Rock is a Lady's Modesty is not an anime we are allowed to consume.

Immodesty

This anime has immodesty in it as well. According to IMDb, a female character's breasts are exposed.² Additionally, several characters wear clothing that reveals their cleavages and/or thighs. Scripturally, this is immodest.

"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)

Considering what the Bible says plainly in this passage, we cannot, at the same time, believe it is fine for these people to dress the way they do. And why would we want our entertainment to be filled with sinful dress? That doesn't make sense, and God tells us that we aren't.

"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me." (Psalm 101:3)

It is so ironic that the show is called Rock is a Lady's Modesty but is full of immodesty!

Conclusion

With that said, I think it is clear what the Bible has to say about this anime's contents and why it is contrary to His Word. Please, heed the Lord and His commands. Obey Him and put your foot far away from this show!

Against Anime

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

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

"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...
