The only Anime Video you'll find in my church library, 14 October 2005
Author: The_Light_Triton (Black_triton14@hotmail.com) from In a Chair in my room

Anime. It's made a name for itself. It's best known for being satanic, and ritualistic, with spirits and demons in every show. Completely screwed up.

you'd never expect to find an Anime show based on the bible.

Christopher and his friend, joy, find a book, called the Superbook, which just happens to be the bible. they get transported in time into biblical times, to re-live a bible story. along with their robot, Gizmo. There's plenty of different episodes. they involve The creation (I can imagine how the Animators put that together, considering Adam and eve, and well, you get it if you anime very well), Noah's ark, The wall of Jericho, and many more.

Now, i remember seeing this once during a birthday party. not mine. but it was really funny. They should somehow make an anime movie about Jesus. only god knows how much money that will make. but i'll tell you this - if the passion and the original Jesus movie was popular, this will be even more popular. anime - mixed with history - makes awesome films.

One last thing. if you happen to Stumble on one of these videos in a Christian bookstore, get it.

10/10 -Chester
