The Holy Anime Wars

In the world, there is a force called Astral power that mages use. However, the Empire oppresses any of these astral mages due to the destructive power they wield. The mages created their own nation, the Nebulis Sovereignty. The two countries have been at war for more than a century.¹ Iska, a knight imprisoned for freeing a mage, is released on the condition that he will take down the "Ice Calamity Witch." Iska desires to see the war end peacefully. The aforementioned "Ice Calamity Witch" is Aliceliese Nebulis, who, coincidentally, also wants peace.¹ Sexual Content There are several scenes in this anime where a woman is seen naked.² Additionally, for this show, Crunchyroll lists suggestive dialogue.³ Is this really what a believer in the Lord Jesus is supposed to watch? The Bible tells us to think on pure things, not these sexual, perverted things. " Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are jus...

Merlin Wolford, a national hero in the kingdom of Earlshide, decided to keep a low profile while living in the woods with an orphan he saved. Shin, the aforementioned orphan, is actually a reincarnated Japanese businessman. Despite Shin's advanced abilities in both martial arts and magic, he is otherwise socially awkward and lacking common sense.¹ He joins Earlshide's magic academy and quickly becomes popular. Now, he must get used to life in the capital and fight off the evils that arise.¹ Magic and Violence This anime contains violence,² specifically magical violence. We are told, according to IMDb, that in the show, a boy is turned into a "demonoid" and that during a fight, this boy is decapitated.³ I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there is no reason for a Christian to watch such things. Scripture is clear that witchcraft/magic is not godly. We should not have anything to do with such wickedness. According to the Apostle Paul, witchcraft is one of the...

A demon named Jahy became child-sized after she lost her powers to a magical girl.¹ The mana crystal was destroyed, the same crystal that powered the Dark Realm, where Jahy was second strongest.² She plans to fix the mana crystal and empower the Dark Realm once more.² However, whilst she does that, she needs a place to eat and sleep, which forces her to get a part-time job to pay rent.² Sexual Content The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated! has sexual content and immodesty in it.³ Examples include Jahy's "powerful form" wearing revealing clothes.⁴ Additionally, Jahy wears braids, and her nakedness is seen, since she's wearing a shirt that reaches to her upper/mid thighs.¹ Let's consider what the Scriptures say about clothing. Jahy is a humanoid figure, and yet, as mentioned, she is not clothed properly. The Bible commands women to wear modest clothing (1 Timothy 2:9). Jahy doesn't, and of course, this is contrary to Scripture. Proverbs tells us of a certain type...

Blazers are a minority of people who can "manipulate their souls to form powerful weapons." These people attend the Hagun Academy, where they work to become "Mage-Knights". The main character, Ikki Kurogane, is considered a failure, as the only F-ranked Blazer. He is challenged to a duel by the A-rank Blazer and princess, Stella Vermillion. The winner of this duel will get the other as their slave.¹ Immodesty On the topic of the anime's plot, we learn that the thing prompting the duel was that Ikki saw Stella naked.¹ Other "Sexualized Imagery" is seen in the anime.² Women wear short skirts. There are several instances where a woman is seen in her undergarments, as well as showering scenes, and fan service in the intro and credits.³ These things do not please the LORD, and we should not be watching them for any reason. As Paul tells us, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, women should dress in "modest apparel" (1 Timothy 2:9). When a wom...

Taiyou lost his family in a car accident, and despite his efforts to pull away from Mutsumi Yozakura, his childhood friend, she continues to be a present part of his life. However, one day, Taiyou is called into the office of the school's vice president, who just so happens to be Mutsumi's eldest brother. He threatens Taiyou's life. "Taiyou is swept away by a stranger and eventually awakens to Mutsumi" and her siblings, who are spies.¹ Mutsumi, the head of the household, happens to be the only one without superhuman powers, and as such, must be protected. Her eldest brother, Kyoichiro, views Taiyou as a threat. The Yozakura family has a rule: that they cannot kill family members. As such, the only way to protect both Taiyou and Mutsumi is for the pair to marry.¹ Violence In this show, you will find murder and violence.² The Bible is clear that we are to do " violence to no man" ( Luke 3:14 ) and that God hates " him that loveth violence " ( Psa...

Ao-chan Can't Study (the Japanese name literally means "Lewd Ao-chan Can't Study"¹) is an anime about a girl named Ao and Kijima, a guy who is pursuing Ao.² Ao's name was given her by father, who is an erotic novelist, and the "a" stands for "apple" while "o" stands for "orgy".³ Ao, desirous to escape the influence of her father, attempts to study in hopes she can leave for a college far away from home. Degeneracy First of all, who in their right mind names their child after an "orgy"? Ao's name, in Japanese, means "blue", but according to this show, it was meant to signify something else. What kind of perverted, disgusting person do you have to be to think that it's okay to name a child this way? Degeneracy makes people think this way and it's 1) wrong and 2) disgusting. It could even be seen as a form of pedophilia, naming a child after something like that. Inappropriate Content Crunchyrol...

This anime is about a man named Masamune who was rejected by his childhood crush, Aki, for being overweight. He becomes bitter and swears to get revenge. He works to become the "best version" of himself in order to win Aki's heart before crushing it himself.¹ Immodesty There is "Sexualized Imagery" and " Suggestive Dialogue " in this anime.² Women's thighs are seen. This is not okay. IMDb lists these things in it: "The main [female character] is seen in her underwear briefly." "There are some pool scenes where girls are shown in a bikini." "A character's underwear is shown after she trips and falls."³ Do you think this is pleasing to the Lord? We know it isn't because the Bible tells that women are to dress modestly. "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) We s...
