Anime censors ecchi and angers fans

The Summer-2024 season (July-September) is full of important and long-awaited premieres, but we can be sure that "The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible" is not one of them. The anime tells the story about a 30-year-old adventurer who breaks the paradigm by becoming the strongest of them all, despite his age.

And yes, while there's no doubt that stories of broken protagonists have their audience, there are definitely more interesting things to keep an eye on this season. The worst thing is that, although this series is broadcast in the early hours of the morning in Japan on television, those who saw it discovered that, in any case, it is censored.

There are many reasons why the broadcast of an anime is sent until the early hours of the morning, and if you thought that "only series with violence or erotic scenes are broadcast at that time", then you are very wrong. In fact, the series with the worst budget also look for these broadcast blocks, precisely because they are much cheaper than one in the evening.

Well, the anime "The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible" comes from a light novel that, in turn, already has a manga. And it was with the latter that the comparisons were made, discovering that scenes with a certain erotic tone (such as girls showing their panties by accident) have been censored. Instead of seeing what's under the skirt, all you see is a huge black space (one of the most classic forms of censorship).

And it is not surprising that it is a project of precarious quality considering that it is being produced by Yumeta Company, a studio with great disappointments on its shoulders such as "Shuumatsu no Valkyrie" and "Muv-Luv Alternative". In short, it was clear that all this would not happen without comments:

  • "Reality is cruel."
  • "Is he... Seriously? How can he afford something like that?"
  • "It's an unpleasant time when you dream of expanding the anime market overseas and lose your panties and nipples. Normally, they [overseas] don't have censorship, so I'd like them to test how safe it is."
  • "Extreme anime like Hazbin Hotel are popular all over the world."
  • "Anime for Japanese is over. The decline within Japan has gone too far."
  • "It bothers me. I'm frustrated."
  • "It's summer, but for eroticism it's a winter time."
  • "Maybe, if it's panties or nipples from an older woman, I'd be fine with an age restriction even abroad. What's problematic abroad is when they look minor (even if they're not)."
  • "They praise political correctness while discriminating against adult women with small breasts or youthful faces. It is a contradiction."
  • "Well, loli-baba is something that makes me think. I'd rather they just jump in with the loli without that old lady nonsense."
  • "I don't see loli-baba as a substitute for loli. It's a respectable genre that enjoys the gap between appearance and personality."
  • "It's not that at my age I want to see panties and nipples. It's just that it bothers me that they hide it."
  • "I do want to see."
