The Holy Anime Wars

In the anime  Sunday Without God , God has forsaken the world. This results in life being uncreatable and inextinguishable—no life can be born, nor can one die. Those who "die" walk "restlessly among the living."¹ God decides to do one more miracle, to create gravekeepers, beings whose job it is to put the dead to sleep. After her mother's death, Ai takes her place as their village's gravekeeper.¹ Hampnie Hambart, a man who is supposedly Ai's father, destroys and kills all the people of Ai's village. With no other plans, Ai accompanies Hampnie. She travels, assisting the dead rest as well as helping the living. At the same time, she learns more about this world that God left behind.¹ Deism The first glaring issue is that this show portrays God as having abandoned the world. The Japanese title for this show is「神様のいない日曜日」( kamisama no inai nichiyoubi , "God's not-there Sunday"). The term,「神様」( kamisama ) is often associated with Christian...

This anime is about an elven mage named Frieren who was part of the hero's party during their conquest against the demon king. Due to her elven nature, she has lived for over a thousand years, and thus has a different perspective on time itself. However, after two of her former party members die, she realizes the influence they had had on her.

(Ephesians 4:27) Witchcraft Continuing the previous segment, there is another aspect to devils that we need to consider. Magic is a major part of this show,³ and is used by hu...

This anime is about a man named Light who finds the Death Note, an item dropped into the human world by the god Ryuk. Light takes it upon himself to rid the earth of evil-doers by writing their name in the Death Note, thus killing them.¹ Immodesty In this anime, women's thighs are seen. On top of that, an "adult magazine is shown briefly. Women in skimpy outfits are seen." ² The Bible tells us that women ought to be modestly dressed. "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) The Bible defines nakedness as from the waist to knee (Isaiah 47:1-3), if this area of a character is exposed, they are biblically naked. That is not popular to say in our modern world, but I am a biblicist. Murder Using the Death Note, Light kills many people. He is on a murder spree. IMDb says: "A man is run over by a truck."
