Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister!

Mahiro Oyama is a hikikomori who spends his time playing erotic video games. Since he has not left the house in years, his sister, Mihari, worries about his health and intends to bring him back to normalcy. To reach her goal, Mihari creates a medicine that transforms her brother into a girl. Mahiro is now forced to live as a female until the effect wears off.¹

Sexual Content

As listed on Crunchyroll, this anime contains sexual imagery and suggestive dialogue.² According to IMDb, there are sounds from Mahiro's games that are sexual in nature.³ Additionally, characters are seen in various states of undress, including complete nudity (though not depicted in detail).³ There are several instances where characters are in either baths or hot springs.³

This show is immodest, as the above items reveal. What does the Lord think about immodesty and nakedness?

"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)

Even if we only focus on female immodesty, God has clearly and explicitly forbidden it. Why, then, would we find it acceptable to fill our minds with this nakedness and sexual content?

Gender-Swapping

At the start of the anime, Mahiro is a man, but his sister drugs him, turning him into a female. Regardless of his depraved lifestyle, his sister was wrong. God made male and female. He made men and women how He wanted. To try and change someone's biological sex is against the gender divide the Lord has established.

This directly supports transvestism and transgenderism. Mahiro is a man, yet he is biologically changed into a female, and then dresses in female clothing.

"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God." (Deuteronomy 22:5)

Mahiro wears a long skirt in his school uniform, but long skirts don't help if you're not supposed to be wearing a skirt to begin with! By the time you get to the end of the anime, the drug begins to wear off, returning various parts of Mahiro to their original, masculine state. However, he chooses to take the drug again, to make himself female for another while.⁴

"In the middle of playing with his friends at the pool, Mahiro's drug slowly wears off and his [flesh] grows back. Without anyone noticing it, he storms back to the hotel room with Mihari who presents him with a backup potion, telling him to consider that it will make him stay female for 'a long time' if taken. After taking the evening's time to reflect on it, he decides to drink it."⁴

Mahiro goes from involuntarily gender-swapped to choosing to become a girl! Wikipedia says, "On the way home by train, Mihari reveals to him that her conspiring rehabilitation project has been overly successful."⁴ This is framed as something good! The goal was successful, as if the means were good.

No! If someone is addicted to pornographic video games, the solution is not for them to become the opposite sex! The scriptures tell us exactly what we need to do.

"Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart." (2 Timothy 2:22)

Let me ask you: Is this normal? Mihari wants to bring her brother back into normalcy, but swapping his sex and him choosing to continue as a female rather than the male he was born as is not normal!

Lesbianism and Drunkenness

In episode 9, Mahiro's sister, Mihari, drinks, evidently, a low-alcohol 甘酒 (amazake).⁴ She becomes drunk and kisses two other women—Kaede and Miyo, though only one of these is depicted.⁵ Miyo, prior to the kiss, is "paralyzed with ecstasy" seeing Mihari kiss Kaede.⁵

Now, I doubt I need to explain much more. We all know that scripture forbids drunkenness. In Galatians 5:21, drunkenness is defined as one of the works of the flesh, not the fruits of the Spirit. This anime is working against the Spirit!

Regardless of the specific acts performed or not performed by this drink-addled Mihari, she violates the intimacy that should be exclusive to marriage alone with two other girls.

Conclusion

It is abundantly clear that this anime is not God-honoring. In no way does the Lord find pleasure in His children watching things He hates. Even earthly parents get upset when their children watch things that they have forbidden. How much more the thrice-holy God, Jehovah?

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 ...

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...
