To answer EliasEmmanuel: While I don't think you are being overcynical, I do think you're neglecting to consider some factors. Personally I'm far more enthusiastic than the position you stated in your previous post.
True, much of Christianity will object to most Christian anime. However, I believe that the majority of these are individuals that I'm not sure count as Christians in the first place. Some people would have honest objections, but that is to be expected.
What would be necessary to pull it off would be a storyline that is Christian, yet doesn't necessarily have to be bland. Is it realistic to have every character be a perfect Christian? Of course not. For them to have any meaning to us, they must at least be somewhat worldly. There will be characters that have bad habits, cuss, don't always act as they should, etc. If people don't like it, they are free to secede from the planet.

Actually, what I have in mind (and here I can speak only for my own series) is something that would appeal to the nonChristian audiance. Which is why I am freer to tell Christians to take it or leave it. Japanese manga/anime (this is redundant, but I say it to properly identify my point) is generally accepting of religions, though it doesn't take them too seriously. Likewise, while they may not take the Christian elements in said idea very seriously, they also won't see anything wrong with it. And that's where outreach and the Spirit hopefully come in.
