"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

Would a review for Öban Star Racers be acceptable even though it's a Japanese-French co-production? I just wanted to ask.

I don't think we have an established policy in that regard. Was it originally aired in Japanese?

It was originally aired in both Japanese and French.
Well there was a review for Interstella: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (or Interstella 5555) which was a Japanese-French co-production.

Can I request a review for the anime Megaman NT Warrior (A.K.A. Rockman EXE)?....I'm trying to figure out why not many has spoken of this series yet, but it appears to be a good show from the amvs I've seen...or was it just not good quality or story or something?....

Well, NT Warrior came on the WB(Which is now the CW) a while back. But you've got to remember not many people watched it and/or even knew about it. I thought it was a good series although I wasn't ever able to see every episode it still was a pretty cool show.

I really wish there had been a review of Blue Gender somewhere when I was considering buying it (I had never seen it, but I thought it might be good, so I bought it). I could have avoided the whole thing.
The storyline is ok --but I did not know beforehand that there would be that much violence and sexual content in the anime. I was really surprised (and not pleasantly...)
So now I'm going to try to sell it back to Hastings...I really don't ever want to watch it again. It was just too much bad content.

I wonder if someone could put together a list of anime with offensive/vulgar content so someone as inexperienced in the anime world as I am can avoid seeing unexpected "surprises"? :wow!:

I also don't really know anime lingo very well. So, how do I know (by the Japanese word it's called) if an anime is ok to watch or not?

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

While not as in depth as our review system, typically you can get a fairly good idea of the content of series from other sites (typing the name in a search engine is usually enough to get you a few). Putting together a list would be impractical, because there are almost endless series that would be considered offensive. But if you want to ask about a specific anime you are consider, this is the place to do it.

As far as the Japanese words, what are they? There are obviously a few, but I've never encountered much of a system for ratings.

While I don't always agree with their reviews, this site is decent when it comes to getting a general idea of content of specific series.

I also don't really know anime lingo very well. So, how do I know (by the Japanese word it's called) if an anime is ok to watch or not?

That's rather vague. Could you be more specific?

I was surprised too. I mean, the thinpack is rated TV-PG by Funimation, which is surprising. I second the request.

I get it now.

In general you will want to avoid anything that has the following words attached to it or its reputation: hentai (and ecchi); yaoi and yuri; shotacon and lolicon . They are defined at the FAQ page.

Could someone please review Black Cat, Disgaea, and Wolf's Rain (anime, not manga)? I read some reviews on THEManime, but I would like a Christian perspective on these.

Has anyone done a review of Mouse yet? If not, I could try submitting one, though it would probably be far from glowing. It's not a very Christian series, lots of T&A.

I do not believe there has been a review yet. However, it is important to note that a review may do more to draw attention to the series than warn people of it. I'll see if I can find the series and get back to you about classification.

I can write a review on the Wolf's Rain anime. I own the entire series and I'm going to rewatch it soon anyway. It may take me a while, but that's only because I want to make sure I don't miss anything.

Has anyone done a review of My Neighbors the Yamadas (sp?) by Myazaki?
It's the one that is very cartoonish-looking. I haven't seen it yet, but I saw it at Hastings and am considering watching it. But I am cautious after my last "never-heard-anything-about-it-looks-good" anime experience (aka: Blue Gender--that is something I wish I'd never seen --it was like, "Oh, hello there. I didn't expect that to happen."

So is MNtY good content-wise? (No sex or excessively violent violence?)

I've never seen Naruto and therefore cannot answer your question, but I would like to suggest that, the next time you decide you have more to say after posting, use the "Edit Post" feature, rather than making three separate posts back to back. Just keeps things cleaner. XD

This is a good suggestion. It has been enforced.

As far as the question, my general response would be to say "No." Some translations may call a number of monsters demons, but they do not have a spiritual element.
