Christianity in Anime

Go check out Angel's Egg.It's a Mamoru Oshii film (but you have to be more artistic person to like it otherwise you may find it boring)
The artwork is from the same person who did the VHD art (can't remember his name ¬_¬;)
Also if you don't like animes which will make you ask lots of quiestions and leave you with not a single answer i don't recomend you to watch it.
It's the most "unanswered questions" anime i've ever watched.
If your religious you'll find the anime is connected to the bible and perticularly the story about Noah.Anyway no more spoilers from me.
Would really like to make a separate topic and discuss the hell out of this title although i doubt even mamoru oshii has an answer for every question of his own work.

Sort of a minor addition. The ultimate weapon that Gargoyle tries to create in Nadia: Secret of Blue Water is called the Tower of Babel, Babel meaning God's Gate, if I remember correctly.

There's many references to the Bible and Christianity in Nadia.

Slave Stars Michael and Lucifer (I won't describe them as they may be spoilers?) are both names in the Bible.

Noah's Ark is in the Bible too I'm pretty sure

No offense, but I figured you might chime in. Just got the second box set a week ago, and I've only made it past the third episode. So as far as the other references go, I either haven't gotten that far into the series yet, or I just plum forgot.

LOL

Not sure if I should be honored or take offense by that!

Am I really that big of a Nadia-whore?

Well...every avatar I remember you using had something to do with Nadia. Nothing wrong with it, but it's just one of those things that gets stuck in someone's head.
