Jesus Christ, Anime Superstar
Posted at 2:59 PM Jun 17, 2008
So here's yet another Jesus anime project. This one's kind of interesting because it's actually going to be an animated version of the 1979 Jesus film, where they'll use the same audio track and everything. It's also interesting because Jesus kills 200 pigs in this film clip. While I'm admittedly a bit rusty on my Bible study, I don't much recall this passage. Maybe the pig slaughter just doesn't get as much play as the loaves and fishes stuff, although I can't imagine why.
But this clip is also interesting because this thing looks absolutely nothing like anime whatsoever. These people clearly know anime refers to the popular Japanese animation style, but seem to have forgotten to emulate that style whatsoever. Sorry guys, but unless you have some speedlines in the background or put some huge eyes on big J, it's just a cartoon.

Posted 06/17/2008 at 12:16:33 PMthe 200 pigs thing has to to with Jeebus destroying the demons that composed Legion (a demon made of many demons). if i remember correctly, he casts the demons out of a man and into a herd of pigs. the pigs then drown themselves. i take it Jeebus didn't like pork chops.

Posted 06/17/2008 at 01:15:33 PMYou know, it's not badly drawn, it just doesn't look anything like anime.
I'm sure this is nothing new, using the latest trend to try and convert kids. In the late eighties/early nineties there must have been some Christian groups thinking "we just need to combine skateboards and surfer slang with Jesus!"
Posted 06/17/2008 at 02:25:09 PMI wish I could undo what I just watched. That was such a waste of time. I would love to see some kind of follow up episode where the two shepherds go home to their village and have to tell everyone that the heard of pigs they were in charge of managing just jumped off a cliff, meaning the entire livelihood of the families involved are now poor and without food for the coming months.
The village will question how it can survive since two men with sticks were unable to stop one man with a rock. Since no one will believe that one man just chased 200 pigs off a cliff without contest, the two shepherds will be branded as liars or failures and exiled to the desert to die as the village has to find some new way of sustaining itself. Over time the people of the village will die from malnutrition or leave to find a new beginning elsewhere.
But hey, the Big J saved one guy, right?

Posted 06/18/2008 at 03:38:50 AMWell he DID say that "the final product will be in the anime style" suggesting that he knows this isn't Anime.
And I thought the same thing as slamhammer. Those two swineherds are probably slaves on some wealthy Roman's estate. "Screwed" is an understatement.
"Dude...we are SO dead."
Yep...I know who is getting driven off the cliff next.
