The lil girl in ED turned into a heart for a sec was freaky.


Its a good start.I really dunno why ppl are up on arms on the censor.Like why so desperate for it?
@Builder45 ah yes, how wrong of people to complain about censorship of ecchi in an ecchi show.

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.
@DarkDooM2 it's so weird they didn't even keep the ass shot. Like ok, with nipples I can at least understand, but why censor her ass too?

@SaintCelestian But it's an ecchi.
@Unleashed_SM Look, I get the sense that you're very passionate about your ability to see animated nipples. We'll just agree to disagree about the importance of them and leave it at that.

I ended up enjoying the first episode a lot, I really like the art style and the story seems good. Also ironically despite being censored it is still the best ecchi currently airing so far. I just wish anime studios would go back to light beams while airing with uncensored BDs or something similar.

@velvetnyan "it is still the best ecchi currently airing so far" I mean, is that a high bar to reach in a season with literally no other ecchi shows at all?

"light beams while airing" I mean that's still a practice. Just look at Goddess Cafe Terrace. The problem is that even in the BD releases they don't remove the steam and light beams anymore, which was also the case with Cafe Terrace. And that one was an ecchi too.

@SaintCelestian we are free to complain about the censorship just as much as you are free to talk about the plot and writing. I always find it funny how anytime someone dares to call an anime out on its censorship, you all immediately start saying things like "it's not important" or "why so desperate, go somewhere else" just to excuse the censorship.

An intriguing and mysterious start, I'm curious to know who Ren is and what he does. Also, the girl who appeared at the beginning seems to be his sister.
The OP and ED are fantastic and there are two big reasons not to skip them. Let's see what happens, but I really enjoy anime with chilling mysteries.

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 😳

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.

This first ep was quite interesting.

First of all, the op was actually great, probably the best of the season so far.

I really liked the art style, I thought it was pretty unique. The few main character designs we saw this episode were cool aswell.

The plot was interesting. There are still MANY things that have yet to be answered, but the supernatural elements so far were quite cool.

I personally don’t really care about all the censorship drama, if the shows good then it doesn’t really matter to me.

Overall, good first ep. Still confused about a lot of things, hopefully future episodes expand the world and characters.

@NB_Tenchy The only one with contempt here is you, it's all over how you write. "Doesn't matter" and the like. Yeah only to you, since you anti-fanservice folks just have this immense hatred to the point you explicitly seek out discussions of censorship to club people over the head in the hopes they stop talking about it.
It's an ecchi series. I want to see the ecchi, but Kadokawa and Zero G saw it prudent instead to butcher the adaptation and make it sterile. Not only that, they did that to a series that literally sells itself ON sex appeal no less.
Face it, you don't have any actual explanation for "broadcasting laws" or anything, because you don't know squat about them. Really you don't know much about anything, that's why you tried comparing this to MonMusu or Kekkon Yubiwa while failing to realize what separates them and their uncensored versions is the composition of the shots.
I'll give you a hint though and just inform you that Japanese broadcasting is more lax than you think, especially in this context, and especially on these channels. Try a different angle next time.

@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.

A bit sad about the censorship but i still like the first episode very much. I guess they wanted to portray the mystery aspect more so people that are not fond of fanservice will give this one a chance and tbh the mystery aspects of the manga are awesome so i have big hopes that atleast this will be portrayed to the best of their abilities. I definitely will keep watching.

@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

@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.
