@FutoiOtaku considering we just had 2.5 ririsa with censorship his question is legitimate.

@FutoiOtaku if said scene show nudity in the manga and not in the anime adaptation it's censorship plain and simple regardless the reason why it's done it. In the case of 2.5 the nudity was high time high in the early volumes to be dropped later on but on the adaptation they did the beginning like how it is since volume 6 so it's censorship regardless of what the director choose to do it. If they would have done with it steam to later remove them for the Blu Ray but we won't even have that.

@FutoiOtaku Obfuscating your censorship is still censorship and always will be. Putting a black bar on a character is censorship but putting an even bigger piece of clothing in place of a black bar is not censorship? This is crazy talk. You think its ok because they are doing it to meet some sort of tv guidelines or age ratings? That is the very definition of censorship then. A system in which an authority limits the ideas that people are allowed to express and prevents books, films, works of art, documents, or other kinds of communication from being seen or made available to the public, because they include or support certain ideas. You can say its their own decision to perform this censorship to fit inside of the system, but its still censorship, and a much much more offensive form of censorship than just using light beams or black bars, because its censorship that insults the viewers intelligence by pretending to not be censorship.

@FutoiOtaku Directorial choice of censorship. i find it funny that you came to this thread of someone asking a question and made fun of them without adressing the actual question.Sad.

But ye to actually answer the question for anyone that might see this thread in the future, anime is obviously censored yes.

removing something sexy from the manga to make the anime to make "more appropriate" for TV is censorship, end of story

the director didn't write or draw the manga/LN, its not HIS work, he just more or less gets to choose what to adapt

@FutoiOtaku

cen·sorship
/ˈsensərˌSHip/

1. the suppression or prohibition of any PARTS of books, films, news, etc. that are considered OBSCENE, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.

if this isn't EXACTLY why fanservice/ecchi gets removed or toned down, then you're a troll and just happy it's happening

FutoiOtaku said:
No part of either the source or the anime have been legally prohibited or suppressed, the actual meaning of censorship as you pointed out. Under Japanese law, it is legal to show any sexual act or nudity with the genitalia obscured in printed and moving media. Anything allowed in the manga/ light novel is also allowed in the anime. The choice to adapt the anime to allow showing in a more lucrative time slot IS NOT CENSORSHIP, it is adaptation. You can never prove your point because you don’t have one.

nothing is stopping those in control from airing it at a later time slot or date, nor does the time slot necessarily change whether or not something gets removed

for example, the scene with Yoruichi and Orihime's boobs in Bleach TYBW was IN THE CORRECT TIMESLOT, but Tite Kubo was told "it's too lewd", Rukia's bare ass was also cut out to show Ichigo's face... meanwhile in the same fucking show there are people getting bloodily split in half and beheaded

get the fuck outta here

its 200% censorship and a double standard against sexual content of female characters, its simple... people complain far less about violence than they do sexual content of female characters and you know it

FutoiOtaku said:
All of that is correct, and I agree that false standards were applied. But that is not censorship, just poor judgement applied badly. I’m not continuing with this discussion as I agree with your principles, just not your incorrect terminology. Out.
