NaiveVibe said: I have never laughed as hard as I did at this comment claiming Index of all things isn't "particularly religious". Religion is a fundamental part of Index and is integral to its plot. Also, it is mainly a sci fi/magical story that takes elements from Christianity but doesn't attempt or claim to give a realistic, thorough depictions of the religion. It doesn't really get things wrong, it just uses them in a different way. Well whatever it is, I'm hype up for this anime for good, it has otonari tenshi vibes in it, Kazutake really did awesome job for the manga |
| are you not watching otaku elf? this feels like otaku elf 2 by the description |

Kiryotsu said: It's nice to be blessed by this upcoming anime. Have you checked out Vatican Miracle Examiners? That one was pretty good and a real religious anime. Wish there was more tbh. There's also various demon / church anime like Chrono Crusade and Devils and Realist if you really want religious anime. |

Jeje2020 said: Jeje is on point. Yeah, this anime is taking from both Christianity and Catholicism it seems. I like anime a lot because the Japanese have a very Christ-like culture which makes their shows so attractive, but anime has gotten, really weird, as it aged. For anyone who doesn't know, Christianity is relationship with Christ, it's not a religion. Religion includes set practices that you repeat over and over again. Which we call 'vain repetition.' Religion is boring, guys. Would really like to see a truly Christian anime, a Christian story would actually top the anime charts. Hold on, I just remembered Vinland Saga. Can't wait to see where it goes. There's also Demon Slayer. Tanjirou is VERY Christ-like.NaiveVibe said: You calling Index religious is like thinking the various imagery and symbols in Evangelion mean anything deeper when the real reason why those are there is because the director thought it was cool. Same reasoning applies to Index and to most anime with a religious vibe to it.I have never laughed as hard as I did at this comment claiming Index of all things isn't "particularly religious".

| I've seen a mid 90s Christian themed magical girl series called Saint Tail. It's about a young nun-in-training who prays to God to transform into the magical girl Saint Tail with powers that she uses to chase down stolen items and return them. The religious aspects seemed to be about theming rather being dogmatic, but it was interesting to see. |
| All religious themed anime seem kinda heretical to me. Except Angel's Egg. That was pretty good. At least if my interpretation of it is correct. |

You are covered in reason; in some theologies, it is a blasphemy to create a statue of Jesus Christ; the correct behavior is to adore Jesus Christ Himself instead of a statue of Him. I interpret an inspired anime or movie about Jesus Christ not as an audio and video statue of Him but as a story about Jesus Christ -- remember He Himself spread His word using stories and parables -- and a way to gather more people to know Him. Of course, I am always open for a civilized discussion about Theology which values all based opinions. |

Jeje2020 said: anjingterbang said: You referring to the Index series? I wouldn't call that particularly religious considering its vibe, not to mention it gets a ton of things wrong with regards to its depictions of Christianity. Then again, that's par for the course with most anime. This one, at least, has a more wholesome vibe that most religions would accept though, like Index, it gets a lot of things incorrectly especially in regards towards the Catholic faith which this series seems to be getting a lot of inspiration from. But, compared to Index at least, this one doesn't make it explicitly clear that the religion featured in the anime is Catholicism or Christianity in general.I'm sure there are more. The one with loli nun.... whatsoever. You know what I mean.... šš JK Source: I've read 20 chapters of the manga this anime is adapting. Would recommend that to anyone looking for a comfy, wholesome, romance/slice of life. No, they're referring to a Most likely. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Honestly most I guess "Christian" anime I've seen is Vinland Saga. Not exactly the content, but its Christian themes are quite accurate and were researched well, so good on the author for that. As well as Steel Ball Run, very wonderful portrayal. For this, it's a nice anime. Pastor Lawrence's true sweetheart, the scriptures š |

| Japan doesn't know shit about Christianity. They only like the aesthetic. |
 |
| Actually it's a travesty of Christianity if you know the legend of Saint Cecila |
| If you want to reply to my posts, come up with valid arguments instead of ad hominem HIGHER LEVEL THINKERS ONLY |

| The religious themes are barely even relevant. Lawrence being a pastor is just his profession and is barely brought up and Cecilia being a saint just makes her a mascot moe blob you have in literally every similar show. |
