Welp Trailer came out and they revealed the anime design of rina and she is basically censored in the anime hiding her belly skin as that's too much skin apparently for the anime.

I think this is most probably the author's decision because here is her latest light novel character design which is much more closer to the anime just without scarf.

covering her belly for me is not an art change; it's pure vandalism.
in matter of fact.. highly possible i'll just drop the anime, and go after the manga.
and what if the original design WAS the reason that encouraged us to demand an anime??
either fully adapt the story and art as is, or it's "original anime" meaning.. go back to the light novel and the manga, the original sources.

I just now found out about this anime/manga/Ln while browsing. So I'll give the anime a chance but I am always wary when they change even small stuff cause I then go "ok what else is different/censored".

So I get it.

@EasyFlaps

U fool, have u seen the teaser design and key visual of the other girls.

The animation studio really did make them more thicc and their breasts extra thicc.

The amount of details, so the decision to change this girls design is more confusing as they dont shy away from fan service.

Lmao, nice bait.

Doesn't work here though cause the male characters design wasn't changed from the light novel and manga.

Like I said before only they only changed the design for the girl Rina at the start for whatever reason.

The other girls for example Lorraine are as hawt as in the manga and ln if not hotter.

Props doing Lorraine justice.

That isnt necessarily censorship. It may be animating clothing is easier than the detail needed to animate a bare tummy to look right.

for these pro-vandalism everything must be either covered or family friendly.. nope!
i'm giving this "anime" 1 star all through with possibility of dropping at any given time, i'd rather read the manga "designed as is"
than watch "anime original" designs. i'm not having another case of "anime original vandalism" again..

I guess "belly" was too lewd, LOL.

This is like what they do for lewd game covers when they put them up on APP stores.

.

Well, at least as a anime viewer, I didn't really notice she was suppose to be revealing her belly.

But now knowing this, I too am disappointed. Belly would have been better.

I really think this is a pretty trivial issue. It's just a stylistic choice. Stomachs aren't something which are usually censored anyway. It could just be the preference of those responsible for translating the character design from the original work (the light novel) to the anime series, including notes of the author in this case, for all we know.

Is it really that big of a deal whether a character's stomach is shown frequently, seldom, or not at all? I suppose just don't watch it if you find it that off-putting a change, but giving the series a low rating, especially for something one drops and isn't watching most of, doubly especially for such a petty reason out of spite, seems very unnecessary.

"Censorship" Lmao. There's tons of tits with the 2 main side characters having huge tits in the poster.

I Think it's way better to not have stupid fan service armor that only covers 30% of your vital areas.
Makes this series seem way less of a shitty generic fantasy harem anime.

It's just a generic trope at this point to have every woman wear armor that only covers their tits and groin.
Especially when they are a fighter and not a mage/ranger/rogue.
Instantly makes you lose respect to the world building and any kind of internal logic of the fantasy world.
You can still have actual nudity, but at least make it logical and fitting of the setting.

It's a shame a lot of great stories are ruined by cheap tropes to cash in on virgins.
The Anime version is way hotter and is actually more fitting of the setting.
Props to the animators actually improving upon the source material.
Hopefully they keep at it and cut the repeating monologues of the LN and keep improving upon the source material.

Cope anime version is trash, and is not getting any traction rightfully.

So happy to see it fail, FK CENSORSHIP.

I'm typically against source material alterations, but covering Rina's stomach hardly detracts from the show at all. Now if this was advertised as an ecchi or seinen (which it's not) and there were giant black bars everywhere, then I'd be annoyed.

Underrated comment

As for my two cents for the thread, as a manga reader I noticed immediately that she seemed nerfed, at first I thought her face looked weird but in addition to that the belly was removed.

I think it's okay to be upset about small details like this. Anime/Manga is so cookie-cutter these days that small details are what stop two works from being almost identical to one another.

The CGI skeletons threw me off as well, since I quite liked the Manga's art, but by Episode 3 I don't really mind them as much. The removal of belly, however, is an injustice.

The slight change for her was simply to make her look more like an aspiring knight or simply a squire than a theif. I would've agreed with you if they altered Lorraine as well but as far I know Lorraine is thic and hawt so you're overreacting my boy.

Seeing censorship like that really turns me away from watching the anime. The manga looks nice though so I might still give that a chance. Esg and this anti female form propaganda can go the way of most comics and go broke. Funny enough, I think Japan is pretty outspoken against these baka gaijin tourist pandering.

Damn do these people make me embarrassed to watch anime. Stop thinking with your groin. An exposed mid-riff makes zero sense in the world of this show, for countless reasons, and it's not censorship to fix things that make no sense. And the idea that the anime needs to be entirely faithful to the manga ... may aswell just abolish anime entirely as a medium.
