Not Recommended

It was apparently distributed as a tool for religious solicitation, an anime about a cult that carried out terrorism in Japan. Although not added to my list, there are other Aum Shin's animations, which are similar in content and low-brow. It's so incoherent that it's ridiculed on Nico Nico Douga. Needless to say, it's a shady religious anime. The voice actors are also amateurish, and Akio Asahara is too beautified, too different from reality, and feels out of place. Even though it's a religious anime, it's not the quality of Happy Science or Soka Gakkai, but the low quality of University Circle. It's not worth watching. I'm using a translation site, soI might make a mistake in the text.

Imagine this: You're in Sunday School. The parents are busy doing their prayer service and preparing a buffet for lunch, and you and the other retarded kids are sent to the back room where you won't disturb them. One of the parents who run the Sunday School service turns on the TV and puts in a VHS tape they bought, thinking this is cartoon that focuses on the teachings of Jesus Christ. It's so blatantly obvious that it's religious propaganda, and produced as such a low quality (like a 90's cartoon). That's what it feels like. Except that this isn't about Jesus, but rather this isa recruitment video for a Japanese religious doomsday cult that committed terrorist acts in the 90's. The creator of the cult, Akio Asahara, is self-portrayed as Jesus Christ; beautified as this glorious figure that'll bring his followers happiness under his guidance, and knowing what otakus are usually like (the targeted audience at the time), he was able to achieve in recruiting members for his cause and committing villainous acts of terror. Everything about this is bad. The music, the animation, the art. All of it. This really gives me the Sunday Service crappy cartoon feel. Is this worth watching? Lmao no. But this gives you a startling reminder that Japan is nowhere near a perfect country & society as you would hope to believe it.

Mixed Feelings

It was an interesting experience which gave me an impulse to spend few hours prior to explore the background of this anime. For me this anime was quite relaxing in first few episodes, when there is this chakra opening music and cute woman's voice tells me something about spirit force and how their leader is such a cool lad. However when you finally understand what kind of people animated it and how it was irl then it gives you creeps. Also made me think why at first sight smart people like Seiichi Endo or Tsuchiya get involved in something like this and I came to conclusionthat normal person can't live without spiritual education and among young people a mainstream religion seems like some archaism. And that might be partially the reason why people join Aleph etc. At least these are my thoughts.

This is one of those it's so bad it's good. I never have laughed so hard after hearing the god awful voice acting, And the ridiculous ways this anime circle jerks their leader Shoko Asahara. Anyone watching this should understand the real-world context. The cult behind it was responsible for the deadly Tokyo subway sarin attack, which killed 14 people and injured many others But if you can understand how terrible this cult was and still want to watch this propaganda made by said group. You could definitely have a fun night laughing at the ridiculous feats that this anime claimed the leader has done.How stiff and out of place the voice acting is. Or how terrible the OP is, and generally how low quality this entire anime is.
