Because none of those series had nipples either in their source material. Why even making a question when the answer is obvious?

Renai Flops is the only one of those who I checked other media and had nipples, but the manga is very different in terms of fanservice with the anime.
@Ionliosite2 It likely isn't censored and having fog around nipples was how it's originally intended to look.

But softporn modern ecchi fans have been conditioned to expect every Blu-Ray ecchi-labelled anime release offers visible female's nipples.

Also there are those who don't realize that anything that isn't classified as Ecchi or Erotica likely won't get an uncensored physical release because they never have in the past.


The only time I was dissappointed when an non ecchi didn't get an "uncensored" release. was with Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer I mean, look at this garbage


I mean if you are going to cover the entire screen in steam anyway, why even bothering animating the scene at all? And notice the other two characters on the side don't get the same treatment... biases are clearing showing, lol

Now clearly I didn't expect full decensorship, but come on, at least they could have toned the steam down a bit, you know that was added post production and the scene wasn't originally drawn that way, it shouldn't have too hard a fix to make.


Original manga panel for reference

This might be irrelevant but I will post it anyways.

As an example I will post three different types of releases for this Anime for you and only one will be legit. Now it's time to find waldo...







This is what User need to be careful about. If an Anime is being sold physically and isn't being distributed by a known licensed distributer it's a bootleg. I know this might be a bad example to begin with since "Beast Tamer" never had an officially released DVD in the west from what I have seen. But it could be possible the screenshots you are showing came from a bootleg. As I said before it could be irrelevant because if it isn't Ecchi or Erotica it's pretty much definite no one will ever see this Anime get uncensored from it's original airing.

tbh I pulled the screenshots from some random place online, so who knows where they come from, But I have the official japanese bluray, I always get them for the shows I enjoy, and I can promise, it is exactly the same, lol. I mean, that level of steam is egregious, even in a non ecchi show, they even do a pan up shot on the two fairies (still completely covered in a massive block of steam) as if they are offering the viewers something nice to look at. It definitely feels like a last minute addition. So yeah, I was hopeful for at least a reduction to whatever the intended amount of censoring was (probably the same light beam effects the other two characters got)

I just did a quick search on the actual Japanese physical release of this Anime. From what I can find the official Japanese release was split into 4 volumes. They are being sold for average suggested price of 9,900 yen a each. There also has yet been an Official product produced for this franchise to condense all 4 volumes into a single release specifically in Japan.

It's likely these 4 volumes have not been edited or censored since it's the licensing distributors that are known for doing most of the annoying type of censoring e.i. rays of lights and straight up filling the entire screen with a thick cloud.

"The Official Japanese Beast Tamer Website page"











So if you haven't bought any of these and still wish to get a version of this Anime without any distributor censorship, these 4 volumes would likely be the releases you would want for this franchise, if you don't already own them. If you have bought these 4 volumes and there is still those annoying light rays and thick cloud censorship then it's the studio that ended up censoring the Anime before it was released for licensing.

Furth more, when I went to the official "Beast Tamer" Japanese website it seems they plan on releasing in the future an Official condensed release but when I click on the link that redirects me to the site where it's planning to be sold there is nothing on the page yet so there is still hope you can potentially buy a Japanese Official release condensing the 4 volumes in the future without any Distributor touching it for censorship.

As you see the link "HERE" it says "No products were found.", when trying to see the condensed version release of combining all 4 volumes into a single release.

Anything else coming out of Japan right now for this particular franchise are by third party distributors or out right bootlegs being sold in the guise of being officially released Japanese Blu-rays. I can't stress this enough, just because one is buying something from Japan doesn't mean jack. It only means you are getting something directly shipped from Japan and nothing more.

Dsitributors you majorly fucked up, if BD versions don't have uncensored versions, then why the fuck should we not just pirate tv version if it will be the same thing anyway. So what's the point of it then having BD version if it doesn't offer the best product, only moe expensive same shit.

Japan does not care about delivering uncensored content to gaijin, and the woke localizers do not care either.

Not meaning to necro this thread for no reason, but I got an update for you.

Today when I was looking at new stuff to buy online, I found out that "I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too" full series as is officially finally set to release on Blu-ray on the June 25th for the Western domestic market which will include optional English dub track to the episodes as well. Which goes without saying it will be exactly like the original two Volume release they made last year in Japan exactly one full year after it was being sold 1st in Japan. Just it's combining both volumes together and it will be at an actual affordable price which is 52USDs as of now.

I don't doubt it will be much difference than the tv version aired but I am curious just about how much might be uncensored (if at all) as one of the main reasons why I intend to buy it. The other reason why is because it's in my view one of the highest apotheosis so far displaying such an outlandish male power fantasy premise for an Isekai story that I just have to own it for one day in the far future to watch just out of boredom to laugh at how bad it is. It's like a production of a male power fantasy for nothing more than the sole purpose of a male power fantasy. lol

Considering it's Rating: 14+ I highly doubt the actual studio ever produced a fully uncensored version of this series. I wasn't ever expecting one either because it's not even an Ecchi or Erotica title to begin with.
