Apparently the re zero s3 showed some of the flatter characters tone down their outfits. They cited a aim to reach a global audience so this makes me curious. I am curious on demographics of this choice.

So what do you think of these changes?

Censorship is and will always be shit, especially when done for the idiotic "for a global audience" garbage.

How the hell are we supposed to judge when there's no before and after photos.
I don't even know if this is pre or post censorship.

i'm generally against censorship, but i don't see the issue with the designs in OP. i mean, the outfit on the right is kinda ugly, but w/e.

@BigBoyAdvance that's oddly specific but ok

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.

I think this is a pretty clear answer to all those who said that anime will never be censored, let alone on Western initiative. Also, the anime's character designer has already confirmed that this was out of concern for "international standards."

Western neo-Puritanism, and the outrage culture that it birthed, has had ostensibly detrimental effects on all types of media. The sooner it's discarded for facilitating regressive and despotic acts, the better.

@RobertBobert It's pretty damn pathetic another country has to bow down to another country's "standards". Niche anime games already had it happen, now this.

It would have been nice to include the original designs, since I can't have an opinion about the changes if I don't know what's changed!

Changes just for the sake of censoring sounds bad of course, but comparing the two designs for Liliana I honestly like the new design much more (regardless of how sexy she looks). I think the new one is more cute.

I'm currently not bothered to look up the other character since I haven't read the lightnovel and don't know her. If anyone wants to share what they changed, feel free to do so.

Bro... Wait I want to see the pre- censorship to make a judgement.
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.

I'm typically not a fan of censorship but when it comes to loli characters I really don't mind, in fact I prefer to see them with more clothes on.

The censored design looks much better lmao, it's kind of embarrassing to see a bunch of grown-ass men whining about this, honestly

Mixed. On one hand, I get it, plus I don't really care because I don't find those characters appealing, and it seems like such a minor change to begin with. On the other hand I'm kinda tired people freaking out over animated characters as if it's as bad as sexualizing actual kid actors. All this stuff coming out about the shit actual actors have gone through, and I just can't bring myself to give a shit about what a couple of drawings are wearing. A guy I watch on YouTube did an entire video on these kinda characters and it's literally the only one I'll never watch, because I'm just tired of it. Both sides, like always, are tiring. On one hand you have people whining if too much is shone and on the other you have people whining because cleavage is a little less visible or some shit.

Look, I'm on the side of anti-censorship, but some battles just aren't worth it, and this is one of them for me.

Americans truly are the worst thing to happen to anime, barring exceptions. They've been drilled so hard with evangelical nonsense that it hurts, and it spills over onto everything they sponsor.
NAKED SKIN =/= SEXUAL.
Like, if you think current day anime is the problem just because some underage character has skin showing, take a look what teenagers wear casually.

Look, people need to understand that sexualized (anime) children is fetishistic, much more so than characters (who while often under 18) have more adult body proportions. There's also a huge fucking difference between having a drawing of it in a LN, and literally having to stare at it (drawn/animated) on screen for an extended amount of time, these two things are simply not equal. If they were censoring a loli in a pure ecchi show or something I would have a problem with it, but the original designs feel completely unnecessary for Re:Zero.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

People call me the biggest Re:Zero fan. I personally send mail to every White Fox employee with my rants about what needs to be changed.

I want my series to be more successful. Re:Zero is not ecchi crap like Mushoku Tensei; it doesn't need fanservice involving loli characters.

Liliana was the most hated character, and people preferred that she be completely deleted.

However, the same people now complain that she got shorts instead of a bikini, which is still controversial for people in the West.

Japan and the West represent both ends of the spectrum, and we need to meet each other in the middle.

So, the new designs are perfectly fine. Stop acting as if they put them in burqas or something; that's what China does.

The light novel is indeed the source material for the anime, but the original source of the series is a web novel, which is text-only without images. Thus, light novels, manga, anime, and fan arts can take the same words and opt for different designs. There is nothing wrong with that.

@Neterosan Frieren is overpowered and also has a loli body type (Serie too), which has been confirmed by another NPC priest.

In Re:Zero, regardless of whether you're a child, adult, female, or male, you can be the strongest.

I don't recall stating that Re:Zero is a realistic representation of the medieval age or anything similar. Re:Zero is high fantasy and is realistic within its own high fantasy rules.

Honestly, i think they could've easily pulled off an inbetween of the 2 designs, like keep the bikini but give her a top that's not 2 sizes too small for her

@rsc-pl Art is not created by the official author; it is designed by the Light Novel (LN) artist. There are different designs by Manga Artists and Anime Artists.

What's the issue?

Just consider Pandora's description in the web novel and her design in the LN. She appears as a 'loli' because the LN artist prefers that style, whereas she is not described as such by the original author and scriptwriter.

A bikini top 3 sizes too small for her

I actually really like her new design, it doesn't scream "we're covering her up!!!", it has a sporty look to it, something that'd be good in battle, while still complimenting her figure, and there's no weird boob shrinking

Technically it's a kind of micro bikini rather than being 3 sizes too small. Actually very modest in micro bikini standards.

Genuinely why does anyone care about this? It is pretty awkward to have characters with childlike designs wearing extremely sexual clothing so I can understand the decision to tone it down a bit. The censored designs don't look that bad and are pretty natural looking. I wouldn't be able to tell that the designs were altered just by looking at them. If y'all are really butthurt about a child not dressing incredibly sexually.... what is wrong with you? No wonder the average person thinks the anime community is full of pedophiles
