CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

"Manga? Is that some sort of marijana??"

Anyone else counting the seconds before its cancelled?

I'm almost hoping it will be... I'm really sick of the media showing a really horrible portrayal of Christianity. Ew.

Yeah, I don't have a great lot of confidence in it either. While some of the concepts are interesting, ultimately it's very unflattering.

Heh, one of the guys at my work was reading an article about it to me. He was saying that it claimed to be showing typical family life problems of today, but when he read that every family member of the minister in the story (who is evidentally the main character) were either homosexual, married to a homosexual, on drugs, or otherwise, we decided it sounded more like a bad soap opera.

I'm predicting that it will break The Mike O'Malley Show's record of shortest time on network television among sitcoms before getting cancelled. Since one episode has already aired, if it lasts past a third episode, then my prediction will be wasted typing.

I only hope this show is cancelled quickly.

Well I dunno--there was one show that was cancelled before its first episode finished.

I can't believe we got cancelled! Weeeeeell, join us next time, kids! In syndication! Or maybe on DVD!

I wasn't thinking of the Limozeen cartoon show.

Doesnt sound any good to me, but somtimes things like that do better than they ought to in the ratings.

It's one thing to trash Christians, it's another to put words into what Jesus Christ says.

I can put up with the former since we are all imperfect. But isn't the latter stepping into the blasphemous category?

Actually, I could see this surviving. Here in Kansas, several stations refused to air the show. After one of the larger newspapers ran this as a story, they received such a flurry of complaints that they changed their decision. It has been said "all press is good press" and I think many will watch who would otherwise have ignored the show.

That having been said, there is no chance I'll watch it (this applies to 98% of what is on television). Also, I'm not terribly fond of them having Jesus actually appear in the show. Not only do I not approve, it seems out of place.

So far every thing I have heard has abhored me, So I won't be watching it

Yeah, I've heard of this. I know I won't be watching, either. I mean, sure, Christians do sin, but to purpously make them look like absolute hypocrites is just...wrong, to me. Anyways, I heard from an article somewhere that the creator of the show is a homosexual. Go figure.

Well, let's not bring Brokeback Mountain into this discussion, as that opens up another whole can of worms.

I would like to see christian produce more media. It seem all we put out are apopolitic show, we need to verity.
On that note I here of a sit-com about a christian pastor that was made by a christian, does anyone know more?

The only other show I have seen where Jesus appears to the main character is Rescue Me (On FX) about the New York City firefighter who is trying to get his life together after Sept 11. Acourse the show has some R rated words and scenes but you have to realize that the lives of some firefighters is hard.
I understand the WB canceled 7th Heaven which I would say may have been a better show.

Heard about this in our Youth Class.

We could (hope and prayerfully) be seeing this get down. I believe there is something that states, "The Lord will not be mocked"?

I read an article on this today. Ugh, it's an utter atrocity. The creator/director states that he's not mocking Christianity at all, which is not true. NBC is doing badly right now anyways, so all they want is to get some racy show on their channel that will push the envelope further than it should be. Anyways, let's just hope this gets pulled soon.

Yeah, Revelations was good but it did take some liberties with the story. But it was a fiction version of Revelations so I'm not fussed.

7th heaven went way off track the last few seasons....

I do recall WB having this apocalyptic tv series about the second comming of christ and all that stuff. When I watched that I was shocked yet amused on how much stereotypes there were.
