| Ok, I liked the VAs very much, but the story is quite trashy, so I am dropping this. |

What is the point of adapting ecchi and making it not ecchi by slapping censorship everywhere? Very unfortunate adaptation.
| @RKGS they really didn't censor it that much it was literally like 2 scenes, adaptation seems pretty good to me |

Man, they really just had to censor Sumireko's huge inverted nipples huh... Even her ass...
Which is a shame since the anime did everything else really well.

| @EcchiGodMamster IKR What's the point of having big bobba heroine if they are just going to censor shower scene? |
 |
| No, No, No NO!! How will I jack off to my animes now????????? Story. Ruined. |
 |
| Honestly, a great start for a mystery anime. I don't know, but I'm not watching this anime for the ecchi moments. The story seems very interesting and I'm excited for what's to come. |
 |
| I don't really know how to feel about this episode. It seems alright, but I'm not that interested yet. I'll give it another episode or two. |
 |
| After seeing this on the list of shows for this spring, it was immediately one of my most anticipated because I’ve been wanting something Dark Gathering-ish ever since that show ended, and although there isn’t much horror on this so far I very much liked what I saw. First off, I can’t not mention our beautifully stacked MC Sumireko, I know the synopsis listed that she’s busty but good lord I wasn’t prepared anyway lol, there wasn’t much fanservice in regards to them but that’s mainly thanks to her being a loli for half the episode, I’m betting we’ll see those massive mammaries get some action going forward lol. This aside I really enjoyed the plot of this episode, it was a different direction than I saw this going in but I really enjoyed it, it is kinda funny how they took the especially stacked waifu and shrunk her down at the very start lol. And despite Sumireko looking a different type of cute as a loli, it was actually kinda gruesome when she started bleeding from the eyes and ears, and the explanation that went along with that made it even scarier, however Sumireko was enjoying being able to write as a kid again so a chase involving several bouts of growing and shrinking commenced lol. Thankfully tho our boy Adashino talked her out of using such a method to write when she’s got a fan right there, and into some weird spooky land the book goes, needless to say this really intrigued me lol, now I’m ready to strap in and see what this show is all about, I’m hoping it’s a great time because I can easily see it being a favorite of mine this season. It is a shame to hear about the censoring but I hope they can still deliver some nice stuff without showing nudity if we never get any. And lastly that OP and ED were both very good, the most fanservice in the episode regarding Sumireko was actually in the OP of all places lol, but man I especially liked that ED song, that’s already one of my favorites this season. |

| We finally have something to scratch the Dark Gathering itch! Really impressed by the first episode of Mysterious Disappearances. Looks like it’ll be a fun dark supernatural series with a cool adult MC for once. Shades of Summertime Render as well. Solid introductory episode that set the tone for the type of world and cases we’re gonna be seeing. Will have to see more cases and learn about the lore to really evaluate things, but I like that it doesn’t shy away from blood and gritty scenes. A very eerie and tense atmosphere was over the whole episode and I felt like it was gonna take an even darker turn, which based on the ending scene, may not be far away. Always good to get more horror stuff in this medium 👍 And Jesus Christ the amount of booba meat in that OP 😳 |

| Given her assets, it's too bad this one does not have an ecchi tag 😅 This is pretty weird but interesting and I like the artistic direction, let's see where it goes from here. |
| It's a shame to hear that this has been censored especially after getting Gushing Over Magical Girls, Chained Soldier, and Tales of Wedding Rings last season. Beyond that this did remind me of Dark Gathering with its spooky atmosphere. The boy, Ren, reminds me of a male version of Yayoi with his paranormal knowledge since he knew about the book and what happened to Sumireko. |
| I can tell there's something HUGE about this anime. OP and ED songs are both bangers, I loved them. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| well that was an okay start, somewhat interesting. not a fan of sumireko's design though, especially those eyebrows. |
 |
| There are some things that I still don't understand but this one got my attention. Dark color, creepy eyes, mystery, poems, and interesting character/s: I'm up for it. Glad that I could actually watch something nearly-horror in this season. i will surely follow this 🖤 |
| I didn't know anything about this show until I read the comments about some big boobs which made me want to try it xD. Tits aside (which... goddamn), I liked it a lot, it's really interesting and I love their banter/teasing. I will definitely be following this show every week. |
| No nipples? Automatically dropped! |
 |
| okay these huge fucking milkers seem like an overkill to me, lol |
| @Nucleus69 if you were on this site back in 2016 it was probably 10x worse LMAO i wouldnt have eventually named myself "ecchigod" if that wasn't the case lol anyway... yea... i don't think people realize that even people who don't necessarily like it STILL agree its dumb to change it but its usually the squeeky wheels that get the grease... until of course its something THEY care about that gets removed, then all of a sudden its a problem |

| @RKGS I checked the manga, and, while I agree, you are making it a bigger deal than what it actually is. The anime as kept all the lewder elements and shows almost just as much skin, the only difference is that the anime doesn't show nips, which were only in like 2-3 panels anyway. still a downgrade in that regard, but it's not a huge deal |

@sakurasyinks The dark creepy eyes are just there to convey a sense that the characters with them are not normal people. The books being called a 呪書 「Juusho」is just a literal name with 呪 「Ju」meaning spell; curse; charm; and 書「sho」meaning write.
Also identifying the book as a 万葉集 「Manyoushuu」which is an 8th century anthology of Japanese poetry. The story is using the book like a Grimoire. It's also pretty neat to see the Waka being. Also Adeshino says she can reverse the "curse" by completing the poem. He calls the first part 反歌 「hanka」which mean 短歌 「tanka」 appendage to a 長歌「chouka」long poem. A haiku is 5-7-5, a tanka is 5-7-5-7-7, a chouka is 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-7.
It's a fictional spellbook with cultural depth of the Nara period. Not something you see often as a plot device. The non-spellbook Manyoushuu is 100% real though.

| @NB_Tenchy Nice. That's some useful and pretty interesting info, arigatou! 😁😍 |

@APolygons2 it's not just the nips tho, they didn't even keep the ass shot in the shower scene. I can understand it when it comes to nipples, but why censor the ass too? "shows almost just as much skin" is straight up wrong and you know it. It's just another prudish adaptation of an ecchi.
| @Nucleus69 I mean, That one scene yes, but other than that, they did show almost just as much skin. Plus, with the breast shot of the op, they might as well have shown the nips, lol That was EXTREME by opening standards. I have seen far lewder shows even in comparison to the manga that don't have shots that spicy in the op! We'll see as it goes though. I doubt we'll be seeing nips unless they decide to add it in the blue rays, but still. |

| We got ourselves another mystery on our hands and it looks like were dealing with the supernatural occult. Sumireko and Adashino seems like an odd paring at first, but they have really good chemistry as Sumireko is struggling to become a novelist while Adashino has connections to the underworld. I can see why Sumireko wanted to keep the cursed book at first as she was able to come up with more ideas to write with as she was younger which really tackles how Japanese would often go back to a time when they were young again. At first I was concerned that no one was going to pick this series up like how no one picked up Girl Band Cry, but I'm glad Cruchyroll picked this one up. |

| A rather underwhelming premiere. Of course, I did have quite high expectations and maybe hoping for another Dark Gathering or Summertime Render is not fair towards a new show. But I feel like it wasted so much time already. And while Sumireko seems like a decent character, Adashino is just such a creep. I thought (and hoped) he was a villain during some scenes. Some lines were also quite confusing, such as Sumireko's "Time to disappear", which made me expect her to try and, well, disappear in the new body nobody knows. Quite confusing. On the positive side, it did set up some interesting mystery strings. So let's see, maybe it just needs time. |
