The most christian(ish) anime you've seen?

[Data Storage]

I too think Neon Genisis is the most christianish Anime

 

[Greatcloak]

Big Wars, and the follow-up series of Ninja Scroll have some christian elements to them, though highly distorted. Haven't watched them in a while.

"Ai No Wakakusa Monogatari" or "Tales of Little Women".

It has seens with the family praying and everything.

Sailor Moon is a satanic anime. The finger sign she does is a satanic sign of darkness.

I just got vol. 5 of the AZUMANGA DAIOH animes, and there's a very brief scene at the beginning of the last episode on the disc that hints Tomo and Kagura might be Christians. The two have bowed their heads and are praying over their food at lunch time; however, it's immediately clear this is a competition between them to see who can say the prayer fastest.

The prayer is not specifically Christian, just a general "thanks for the food" sort of thing.

So, does anybody know if (a) either or both of them are supposed to be Christian? (b) do Buddhists prayer in this manner before eating? (c) is this just another one of their dumb contests and they're just going through the motions?

actually there are alot of religions that bow heads and give thanx 4 food. but since it's anime and they're not praying to any specific spirit, i think they
might be budist. alot of japan is budist


and yes it might also be just another odd contest.

Evangelion was very philosophical..

However the movie showed Shinji doing some bad stuff..

However,

I am still an Eva fan..

Kinda surprised no one mentioned Hellsing... I mean, you have Paladin Anderson (Vatican assassin sent out to kill vampires, seen in my avatar) running around throwing blessed swords that never seem to run out, then you have Alucard using blessed guns/bullets, and the whole of the Hellsing organization is based upon faith in battle, so I'd say it fits here.

Ah, and don't forget the Hellsing prayer!!

"In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen."

 

[damselinadress_06]

Yea, but the whole vampire thing and the gore of the show....i think that japanese use christianity for an "exotic" flavor to their show. trigun has wolfwood the priest and his cross of mercy...how "take up the cross" can you get...and X has alot of messiah and cross references too...again not very "christian" in doctrine or in the theme...more just for the "american feel" i think

 

[wandering_paladin]

Yeah, that's one barrier I'd see with all the mature themes in the series, good point. But still I wanted to point out those connections
