Plus-Sized Elf anime will have an uncensored version
On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Synecdoche, "Plus-Sized Elf (Elf-san wa Yaserarenai)", it was revealed that the series will have multiple versions that will vary the level of censorship to what is shown on screen, and that correspond to the following classification:
- The "Regular Version" that will begin its broadcast on July 6 (the official premiere date).
- The "Potepote Version", which will begin its broadcast on AT-X on July 8.
- The "Potepote Mecha Version" that will begin its broadcast on July 19 on the AnimeFesta streaming service.
The site is unclear in explaining what each of the versions consists of, and "Potepote (ぽてぽて)" is a word for "fat", so it also leaves a lot to interpretation. However, reviewing the source material we can notice that there are a lot of nude scenes and shots focusing on the crotch of the girls. The uncensored version will probably show all these animated panels, while the version suitable for all audiences will omit them.
For its part, Synecdoche began publishing the manga through the Comic Gum digital service in December 2016, while the publisher Wani Book is in charge of the publication of the compilation volumes. The manga was subsequently discontinued and resumed, now in Akita Shoten's Dokedomo Young Champion magazine in October 2021.
