* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: This trope is in full force here. While the film states that El Miore created life in Venus according to Happy Science mythos, he moved the most evolved souls out of there to Earth before a cataclysm turned Venus into the barren planet it is now. Moreover, when he changed his name to El Cantare upon settling on Earth, he made the reincarnated humans into mentors for all immigrant races until Satan's reign in Hell.

''The Laws of the Sun'' (太陽の法―エル・カンターレへの道, ''Taiyou no Hou ―Eru Kantāre e no Michi'', lit. "The Sun's Laws: The Way to El Cantare" in Japanese) is a 2000 anime film directed by Takaaki Ishiyama, animated by Creator/GroupTAC, and distributed by Creator/ToeiCompany. It is the second of nine anime movies produced by the Japanese religious movement Happy Science, whose plots combine anime with a Japan-centric, blatant form of New Age spirituality and a flawed understanding of both history and Buddhism to push a religious message.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: ''All over the place''. Even when ignoring whether the continents of Atlantis and Mu were real, the film has mangled several facts of history to push its religious message. For starters, Rient Arle Croud started up the Incan Empire 7,000 years ago, which is a huge inconsistency since the origins of the real Incan Empire were in 1438. Since the Shakyamuni Buddha was born around 600 BC, Rient Arle Croud should be the latest reincarnation of El Cantare according to these dates, but this would undermine Happy Science's Buddhist roots.

* VenusIsWet: As per Happy Science's teachings about creation, the film states Venus was once a fertile planet because El Miore created plants, animals, and then human-like people to achieve evolution in there, making Venus a futuristic utopia until a cataclysm struck the planet, turning it into the barren, deserted planet it is now.
