Censorship, no one likes them. Everybody hates them. But we have to live with it especially when the Blu-Ray/Uncensored Version of the anime isn't out yet. Enough said, there are many types of censorship out there in anime. But which type of censorship is the worst?

Not sure if this is Oppai Deletus, but one i hate is when they airbrush over a character's cleavage.

(A character shows cleavage but they draw over it with the same color as her skin to erase the cleavage.

I say blinding light is most annoying,and for best cencoring watch neon genesis evengalion,it got beat type of cencoring.
Ratings doesn't matter only enjoyment does.
Masterpiece or mid, generic or fresh,best or worst are all subjective
Eren is goat,and aot is still a masterpiece (eg.subjective opinion)

Oppai Deletus is best type, that's for sure. I guess shadows are the worst. Dark ecchi scenes are stupid to begin with, I want to properly see the girl after all.

Lmao that mosaic.

Nothing worse than just cutting stuff out. If the creators had a vision and it wasn't cut for anything other than maybe disrupting the flow of narrative... nah. Show whatever it is as it was meant to be shown.

Lazy Pixelataion-oppai deletus-kiss cencorus.

Those who made it to EP 5 of world’s End Harem on cruchyroll are the real chads.


Seriously, in a medium known for it’s intense sexual themes removing it is just wrong…

It’s like removing the action scenes in a superhero movie because some people (fictional) got hurt.

lazy pixelation if you use Crunchyroll because you're paying for literal garbage.

if you sail the high seas, it doesn't matter because you can just look for the uncensored version once it's available. but lazy pixelation is still the most jarring form of censorship.

You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

The worst is probably cuts if they keep the screen to black. Other than that I do not like fog taking over like Persona 4 is happening.

Full screen blinding light, R-15 was one of the worst offenders of this, especially since it lacked AT-X uncensored at the time. Most recent examples of this tend to have an uncensored broadcast available.

There is another type of cut usually seen in old dubs: removing the whole scene, ranging from few seconds to 1 minute

There's also the random face, animal, emoji or thing floating in front of the objectionable part:



Of the ones in the list, Redraw at least shows some kind of effort. I mean, they have to draw and animate things twice. And if you don't know beforehand that you should be seeing something else, you may not even notice it:

I am the type of person who increases the brightness of the screen to see some content in the anime when they tries to shadow it... So Iam going with Shadow

In my opinion, zooming is the worst in some scenes that are not even NSFW, not understand what is being censored and interfere with enjoying the story.

That JJBA censorship wasn't done by CR. It aired that way on Japanese TV due to broadcast rules about showing tobacco use. Same with the "lazy pixelation" that some have ignorantly accused CR of doing on World End Harem, as well as the light beams / shadows / etc. on other ecchi and violent anime. CR and other legal streaming sites show the materials they receive from Japan -- contrary to popular misbelief, they don't have Departments of Censorship and Moral Rectitude to alter the animation, nor would they have the time to do so on a weekly simulcast schedule.

In the case of "heavy ecchi" shows like World End Harem, Interspecies Reviewers, Highschool DxD, Freezing, Dragonar Academy, and others, there are sometimes two broadcast versions: the premium "less-censored" version on AT-X, and a more-censored general broadcast version. In most cases, overseas streaming sites get the general broadcast version, due to AT-X's contracts to be the sole broadcaster of "the good stuff." Bootleg streaming sites and other illegal sources that don't have to deal with laws and contracts may have the AT-X version, of course.

In short, instances of "pirated version is uncensored, legal version is censored" for modern, non-kids' anime are a case of "correlation is not causation" -- that censorship isn't being done by the legal site in question.

It does not really matter who censored it since choosing the censored version is just another form of censorship.
