Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included

Shintarou Tokumitsu lives in a studio apartment and leads a typical high school life. However, one day, he finds an angel on his balcony. This angel, named Towa, was given a job by God to learn more about humans and how they interact. She gets attached to Shintarou, who lets her live with him. Thus begins the story of Shintarou and Towa, living in a cramped apartment whilst keeping Towa's identity a secret.¹

Sexual Content

This anime contains immodesty, both in speech and clothing.² There are several times where either women's undergarments are seen, women wear swimsuits, or women bathe.³ Such things are not things that amplify Christ. They are fleshly traps designed to get your mind engaged with sin.

"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)

As such, there is no biblical option but to turn away, not look upon, or watch this evil.

Stork-Winged Ephah Holder

The Bible tells us about something the prophet Zechariah prophesied. He saw an ephah, and a woman sitting in the ephah, who is called "wickedness" (Zechariah 5:8). Then, we read:

"Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven." (Zechariah 5:9)

It is then revealed that they are taking the ephah to "build it an house in the land of Shinar" (Zechariah 5:10). The land of Shinar is never good. First, we have the kingdom of Nimrod, where Babel was built, the king of Shinar fought against Abram, where the vessels of God's house were taken after the destruction of Jerusalem, and ultimately, the place where the AntiChrist kingdom will be established.

But who are those who build the house for the ephah? None other than "female angels." I put it in quotes because angels are always described in the masculine. So something fishy is going on here with these women with wings as storks.

And yet, in this anime, we see a direct parallel between these Zechariah 5 women and Towa, a woman with wings. Call her what you want, but she is not an angel. She is a manifestation of the beings whose purpose is to create a house for the ephah containing the wickedness.

Conclusion

Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included should instead be called, "Familiar Spirit, Immodest Dress, Abomination Included." Christians should not have anything to do with this wicked anime. The Bible is clear that we are to have "no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them" (Ephesians 5:11).

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...
