The Only Japanese Cartoon ("Anime") Christian Children Should See -
12-09-2009, 09:16 PM
Hey all.
Now we know anime is considered "cool" among the young children of today, for whatever reason. However, most of it is evil, perverted, satanic, violent, and generally bizarre. However, there is ONE Anime that is wonderful, better than "Full Metal Alchemist", "Pokemon", "Yu-Gi-Oh", "Dragonball Z", "Super Racer", "Astro Boy", "Digimon", "Sailor Moon", "Naruto", or "Inuyasha" PUT TOGETHER (Note: I have never actually seen any of these diabolic cartoons).
Here it is, from the early '80s, the only anime ever produced with the help of the Christian Broadcasting Network, "SUPERBOOK":
Now I'm sure once your children see these clips, they'll want to watch the whole series. But there's a serious side to this too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbook
Quote:
The significance of Superbook
According to CBN's official Superbook Website, Superbook was born of a desire by evangelist and CBN head Pat Robertson to reach Japan, where Christians constitute a minority of the population. Research conducted by CBN in Japan during the late 1970s and early 1980s indicated that children were likely to be the most receptive audience to Bible stories and that the best way to reach them was through Christian anime and manga. Thus, CBN contracted with Yomiuri Advertising (also known as "Yomiko") and Tatsunoko Production to create and market an anime series that would help drive Bible sales in the Japanese market. In this and in audience ratings, Superbook was a success, and the series was rerun frequently on local stations in Japan through the 1980s.
CBN originally did not plan to release the series outside of Japan, since Japanese animation was not considered marketable in the West at the time and since anime fandom in America was still in its infancy. Reportedly, the network was encouraged by a positive response to the series at a convention in France and went on to prepare the English-dubbed version that would be aired on U.S. television in 1982. Still, CBN, at least in the United States, did not promote the series as being Japanese in origin, and in fact removed all Japanese names from the English credits aside from a token credit for Tatsunoko for the animation production.
In the United States, Superbook was the first Christian-themed animated series to be syndicated to TV stations since Davey and Goliath in the 1960s.
To this day, the series has a loyal and devoted fan following around the world, among adults who grew up watching it as well as youngsters. In addition to the United States and Japan, the series has been aired in various other territories around Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Superbook was very popular on national television in Kenya, and also in the predominantly Muslim nation of Senegal, where it was reportedly the first Christian-themed program ever broadcast on TV. One of Superbook's greatest successes has been in the former Soviet Union. In the Ukraine, the anime inspired a live-action Barney and Friends-style children's program titled Superbook Club (with the robot Gizmo, or "Robik" in Ukrainian, as the mascot), and there are also several Superbook Club music albums aimed at children.
Superbook also provided early directorial jobs for some directors who would go on to be legendary in the Japanese animation industry, such as Kazuo Yamazaki (Urusei Yatsura, The Slayers) and Osamu Sekita (My My Mai, Beyblade, Saber Marionette J and a number of Mobile Suit Gundam TV series).
The Superbook series as a whole is ranked #2 on The Top 8 Christian Cartoon Series Listjust ahead of sister series, The Flying House, which ranked #3.

That was the worst show I've ever seen, and I've seen some pretty awful shows in my day. They actually broadcast that?

My tenure on the internet has subjected me to seemingly endless references to these heathen Jap cartoons. There does, however, seem to be a few Christly exceptions in this medium, as evidenced by "Superbook". I have also heard mention of another "animay" (or whatever) by the name of "Bible Black". Now, I have no idea as to the content, but going by the title, it certainly sounds delightful. It seems the gooks are capable of certain taste - my own Bible is always bound in black leather!
Perhaps we've misjudged this outlet; apart from the overwhelming amount of filth usually produced, it does appear to have some potential for spreading the Gospel.

What countries? The great State of Delusion?
I, for your information, have excellent taste.

Oh dear. You wouldn't get in these embarrassing situations of showing your ignorance if you bothered to read threads all the way through

DO NOT - I repeat: DO NOT watch/play/ANYTHING!!!! Bible Black. You are crazy if you do...seriously!
And there are plenty of anime out there that are quite good and have nothing to do with what perversion, magic, or any Satan-inspired ideas. Most of them are more mature, but they are still better than the action/horror movies made today.

And by that I MEANT that I think it should be burned. I did a Google search once when my friend said it was good and I now know never to trust him again. It's the kind of show that perverts get a huge kick out of.

I decided to check out these Christ-oriented Jap scribbles for possible Christmas presents, as tat from Gookland seems to be all the rage amongst youngsters these days. I was forced to visit their seedy "specialist" shops in order to find anything suitable. While none of them stocked "Superbook", I did manage to get a copy of "Bible Black" for my nephew. The helpful (albeit greasy) clerk assured me that it was a truly "Godly" Annie-May. He must have been telling the truth, for my nephew apparently can't get enough of it. He tells me he has since watched it every day thus far and that I am now his "favorite relative".
It's so refreshing to see kids taking real enjoyment from the Gospel again (whatever the medium) and that even a clearly forsaken race can still find inspiration in the Lord. Glory!

As a Christian although not a tm True Christian, and a Parent. I'm telling you to take your nephew's present back and burn it so he never gets it again. Despite it's seemingly innocent and godly name Bible Black is not appropriate for pretty much anyone who considers themselves a True Christian tm. Let alone a child.
Bible Black is what is called Hentai. Which is essentially Anime Porn. I'm guessing that your nephew is in his teens. And am therefore not overly shocked by his reaction to receiving this gift.

Pastor you do realize that that is a video made by someone with too much time on their hands as a Satirical Parody of Spongebob Squarepants and not actually a Chinese Cartoon?

in my previous post the religious divine revelation should say
Satirical, as there is in no way a religious divine relevation to be had from watching Spongebob in any form.

Well isn't that special? You've waltzed unwelcome and uninvited onto our Christian forum, and proceeded to recommend chink porn cartoons to one of our newest members.
Take your hatespeech elsewhere.
