Keima Katsuragi, known as the "God of Conquest" due to being able to capture the heart of any fictional female, is a game-obsessed otaku. One day, Keima receives an invitation to prove his ability as the "God of Conquest." As arrogant as ever, he accepts. But this isn't what he thought it was. Instead, he has been tricked into helping a demon named Elsie retrieve runaway spirits by capturing their hearts.¹
Immodesty
According to IMDb, this anime contains a "very detailed" glimpse at a woman's buttocks.² Even Crunchyroll states there is nudity in this anime.³ Skirts are short, and a woman's breasts are exaggerated.² As such, when the Bible tells us to think on pure things (Philippians 4:8), we shouldn't be watching media showing us immodest things to think on.
"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 biblical commands for modesty, the lack thereof shows us this is not a godly anime. This anime is not biblically modest, and it ought not be consumed by Christians.
Demonic Activity
The Bible tells us that someone can't drink from both the Lord's cup and the cup of devils (1 Corinthians 10:21). Yet, this anime portrays a man who drinks from the devils' cup. It even makes Keima into a "god" of sorts. God is clear that there are no gods after or before Him; He alone is God (Isaiah 43:10)!
"[10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or
an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer,
or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the
LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them
out from before thee." (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)
People who consort with devils are called abominations in the Scriptures. Elsewhere, the Bible also says that we aren't to bring an abomination into our houses (Deuteronomy 7:26). It would be contrary to God's word if we were to invite this demonic show into our house, contrary to God's law to put it in front of ourselves or others.
Violence
Lastly, we will focus on violence. As is common in anime with demonic forces, there is violence.³ The Bible tells us that God does not enjoy violence, and says that, in fact, the Lord hates those who love violence!
"The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." (Psalm 11:5)
As such, violence is not something we should be filling our heads, minds, and hearts with. Can you truly be thinking of pure and lovely things when you're enjoying or watching violence?
Conclusion
In conclusion, there does not appear to be any biblical grounds upon which one can claim that this anime is pleasing to God. Psalm 101:3 tells us to "set no wicked thing" before our eyes. That's clear, it's not hard to understand. However, many Christians completely ignore this biblical command because it makes entertainment hard to find. Did God ever promise us entertainment in the form of movies or media? No, He didn't. Therefore, if we must discard most media, then we must discard most of it. That is simply reality.
