They censored Bocchi's design in the anime making her bust smaller and removing any nude or half nude scenes.

First Scene being the bathing scene where bocchi is originally naked in the anime.



In the anime she's wearing a swimsuit and most of the time her body is submerged in the water



The second joke that they censored is the scene immediately after, bocchi changes into her underwear and starts the fan to get ill. During the whole scene we can see bocchi in her underwear with her bust out which has been nerfed in the anime.



In the anime she's wearing her swimsuit and most of the time her upper body is not shown or making them massively smaller than the manga.



The anime was sponsored by global billibilli china which is the youtube equivalent for china.
So since they funded the show they asked for any nudity to be removed and to make bocchi's bust smaller.

The japanese fanbase is also not happy with this decision since bocchi has her original deisgn in the manga and in the gacha game.

bilibili is the same company that co-produced/produced fan-service shows like Fire Force and Gleipnir.

And they also aren’t a part of the production committee for Bocchi.

I won’t deny that there is a possibility, but I also think that most anime adaptation of mangas tend to tone down the fan-service quite a bit, we even saw this with Vermeil in Gold, and bilibili had nothing to do with that show.

They were in co production, they wanted to air it on mainland china on their main billibilli service.

But the show contained elements which didn't coincided with the ccp so the show got pulled last second, and has no airing in china.

only in an anime form would people complain that the school girl isnt being sexualized and has small tits. its about a girl gaining self confidence and friends while progressing in music how are any of these complaints relevant.

But this is literally the author’s original intention/work…

If you don’t like it, then maybe don’t watch this show as to not give that person any form of support since you think that’s so problematic…

I think Bocchi the Rock is an anime in which the fanservice won't apport anything. This "censorship" might be a decision from the director since the first episode was so goddamn well directed. I personally won't like fanservice in this anime, and it's not like I'm against fanservice in anime, it can be used in a good way (for example in My Dress up Darling is used to characterize Marin). I freaking loved the first episode of this series and I'm eager to keep watching it, they're making a fantastic job in the adaptation.

Well, that’s not true.

The TV anime isn’t even airing in mainland China, since it hasn’t passed censorship yet. If bilibili wants it to pass censorship quickly, they will ask the anime studio for future episodes before airing, since Chinese government ’s censorship department requires 3 episodes each time. But apparently it is not the case right now.

Also, bilibili is not in the production committee. It is invested by Aniplex only.

Bilibili has nothing to do with the production. If they are in co-production, Bilibili will put its logo in front of every eposide, and acquire its exclusive license in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. But none of these happened, only Aniplex’s logo can be seen.

this isnt the authors original intention hes just drawing a school girl it doesn't look fan servicy to me anyway ive no issue with the manga. its creeps like you who complain about how its gone. it adds nothing so you literally are just complaining about a school girl not having big tits on display. thats fucking weird. it adds nothing to the show the adaptation is great so far stop being creepy.
Well so you know more about the series than the author herself?

The author drew her in her underwear, that's the original work/intention, wheter it's for fan-service or not is not the issue.

Plus if you think I'm a creep, then so is the author and the Japanese audience who are complaining.

You said this isn't the authors intentions. I'm pretty sure I understood that correctly. You are also calling people creeps for wanting to see fictional school girl characters with less clothing, yet the manga author has drawn for an anthology solely focusing on enjoying JC (middle schoolers) charms, and is also pretty prolific in her endeavors to draw big tits in general. Considering these points I think it's fair to say that designing and drawing Bocchi with huge tits was a very conscious decision for fanservice purposes (and her own preferences probably).

For once I'm thankful for them. This shouldn't be a fanservice show. There are shows like RPG Fudousan that focus on fanservice, for a character-driven show like Bocchi it would be completely out of place imo.

So many straw man and circular arguments in here 😂 Don't engage the trolls/complainers/etc, you aren't going to change their mind and surely they won't change theirs. Just let them cry in their own contained space, surely it's not going to change anything about the anime you are currently enjoying/not enjoying.

I think the changes made are all right. On one hand I won't mind the fan service, but on the other hand, changing some ecchi scenes will make it suitable for more markets and younger age groups. All this translates to more money, and in this case, increased popularity too. On top of it, I feel this kind of show doesn't need nudity to attract more viewers.

Fan service on a moe-slice of life-music anime is practically useless, and does'nt really add up to the series. Heck it will only make it unwatchable for most sane people.

Pretty sure it's just censorship, they don't nerf bocchi bust bc in the manga her bust doesn't really show much too bc she wearing loose jersey. and the censorship pretty clever i think since we still get "anime exclusive fan service" which is Bocchi in School Swimsuit.

Pretty surprised though cloverworks censored this bc Based on the recent Cloverworks anime, as a studio they doesn't really afraid to make risky fan service.

And i think OP overreacting about this issue, since we already got overall high quality animation. and there is still a chance they might throw fanservice stuff on Bluray or OVA.

Why should I care if there isn’t any fan service? In an anime like this, I’d prefer no fan service. It wouldn’t add anything

While I usually enjoy fanservice in anime, I don't think this series will gain anything by catering to it. The humour isn't dependent on sexual jokes at all, unlike Vermeil or Dress-up darling where I feel the fanservice would be more fitting. In fact, given how vitriolic some people get when they come across fanservice, I think changing those scenes makes the show palatable to more people. But I don't mind OP using this thread to show the changes made from manga to anime.

I wouldn’t have minded the fan service and I usually hate when they censor fan service, but this is a show where it doesn’t really matter if there isn’t. Censorship is fine for this show as it isn’t the main plot (unlike other shows this season *cough* Renai Flops *cough*). Since this anime isn’t ecchi, I don’t think we need any fan service…

I don’t think it’s enough to make a big deal about.
