There's a lot of titles in the review that fall into this category, such as the notorious Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, which really mutiliates the teachings and ideas of God.
However, just because a show seems offensive to Christians does not mean that it actually is. Let's take Chrono Crusade for example, a show that has a nun teaming up with a devil. This has blasphemy written all over it... or does it? One of the most rewarding parts of the show is seeing the devil Chrono reconciling for his own sins with the nun Rosette's help, a classic reminder that even those of us who are steeped in misdeeds are not beyond God's forgiveness.

Some Christians may (perhaps justifiably) take umbrage at this character in particular.

Before anyone mentions Fullmetal Alchemist, I want to say this: while it is true that there is an evil clergyman in the series, I don't find this offensive. After all, we must always be on the lookout for false prophets. Besides, the homunculi are great archetypes for the Seven Deady Sins they are named and modelled after.

Dyne wrote:Hmm, interesting. I was a little iffy about RK, especially during the time Kenshin fought against the Christian, Shougo Amakusa, during the Meiji arc. But the more I watched that part of the story, the more I thought it was pro Christian, due to the several characters that are very good and are Christian. Still, you never know...
