Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
lelouch has very very pretty eyes.
I wish my eyes were purple.
I wish my eyes had the ability to control people's minds.

My eyes already do that.. it isn't that great.
Purple eyes on the other hand; would be cooler then cheese.
I'm content with my blues. Oddly, however, most people don't notice my eyes unless they're really looking. Pretty often someone I've known forever will look at me strangely and say "I never noticed how blue your eyes are". *sigh*
Do you know if VK has been subbed yet, or if a group has even adopted it?

I really enjoy the effect anime has on some (religous) people, you think lelouch is evil, lol
What's your point?

Anime, generally speaking is anti-christian code gease/full metal alchemist/samurai champloo, many many others, but also anti-religion in the broadest sense.
In fact if you really want to get technical about it, anything where christianity isnt mentioned, even a little bit, other than i na derogatory fashion, would be anti-christian in the sense its giving people the idea that religion doesnt really matter.
How many chrisitan characters in anime are there? most chrisitans that ive seen have been shown as fakes, and swindlers and conmen, pretty accurate id say
Not really. You have to take things in their context, and since I know the historical and cultural context of Japan, it doesn't bother me. Unlike some, I don't see people who disagree with me or come from different schools of thought as being antagonists. I'm fascinated by the differences and I like to learn about them.
And doesn't Ed find out that equivalent exchange doesn't always happen?
The vast majority of anime isn't overtly anti-faith. In fact, by your line of reasoning, since I don't really see many that directly address atheism, (in fact, many concern Buddhism or Shinto) I could say that it's anti-atheism. But that's only if I use your flawed logic.

And?
They all directly address atheism whenever they arent addressing any relgion!The vast majority of anime isn't overtly anti-faith.

No, to be accurate, they address agnosticism.

I've seen a fair bit of religious symbolism in anime..
They like to use the word 'babylon' when naming things..
I've seen it in 'tokyo babylon', Shaman King, and Code Geas.
Shaman King is full of religion... It actualy claims that jesus was a previous shaman king, as was buddah.
The manga features a group called the 'X-Laws' who basicly represent religious organisations.. It isn't really critical of christianity as a religion - more of the authoritive, judgemental tone of religious organisation.
From memory there is a very religious Akatsuki member in Naruto awell... I could be wrong but..
Neon Genesis is just full of christian words and images...
In D.Gray-man the organisation the main organisation is supposedly run by the Pope.
It has good intentions, but later in the series it is shown to be very cold and heartless.
and.. I once read a.. erm.. interesting manga about a girl who was in love with saint michael..(who was in human form for some reason..) then the devil came up and offered to help her for a .. price.
But then the girl and satan ended up falling in love, and saint michael consequently fell in love with the girl..
Basicly, Michael wasn't viewed as the bad guy.. but he was kind of the enermy.. he used sneaky tricks to get the girl away froms satan.. but he did it because he was so sure that he was right, and that satan was evil.. anyway the girl ended up with satan... who somehow had become a good guy..
Anyway, the basic impression I get from anime, is that religious orgainisation is very powerful, and they are all generaly good people.
But they have one goal in mind, and they don't care who gets killed, or sacrificed - as long as they can reach their goal. So they can be quite heartless.
They also tend to be quite arrogent. Very 'I am right, and you are nothing' type attitude.. Dont dare question them, or fear their wrath..
