I know, Takahashi Rumiko isn't Christian, but... it caught my eye.

I tend to dislike Anime that deals with theology...and this one seems to deal with that and...boxing? O_o

Actually, it doesn't deal with theology any more than Saint Tail or Chance Pop Session does. One of the main characters is a nun at a church where a boxer comes to seek additional food between matches. Problem is, all the extra food is causing him to throw up during his bouts. So it's up to the sister to make sure he stays on the straight and narrow. It's really a pretty cute piece. The manga is only three volumes long and the anime OAV is only an hour in length. It's only in subtitled format and there is some minor language. VHS only on this one and they are both going to get harder to find as Viz is not continuing this title as far as I know.

I'll have to look around for it then. Thanks for the recommendation; I'd been curious about it.
