Date A Live (light novel)
| https://www.anime2you.de/news/568368/date-a-live-iv-badeszene-zensiert/ From article: "The latest episode of "Date A Live IV" was criticized by readers of the light novel because it adapted a very popular scene differently than the original work had specified. But what were the fans bothered about? We'll explain and show you the differences in our series of pictures. Towels instead of an Eva costume Strictly speaking, it's about the sixth episode of "Date A Live IV," which aired last Friday. In this one, fans were eagerly waiting for an ecchi scene in which the girls enter the bathroom as Shidou Itsuka is taking a bath. But unfortunately, the scene was changed and did not match what the readers of the light novel had wanted. While the corresponding illustration of the light novel showed the girls in this scene completely naked (but of course covered in various ways in the juicy parts), in the anime adaptation they all had a towel wrapped around them. Even Kotori Itsuka, who wore a bikini in the illustration, was provided with a towel. You can find the anime images below. Fans reacted to the change with incomprehension and speculated about the reasons, especially since the broadcast time in Japan would not have prevented it. We have listed an excerpt of the negative comments for you below: "I guess it's because of the TV station's regulations." "There were no towels in the light novel illustration .... Date A Live already showed a lot in shower scenes and such in the first season after all." "It's unusual for a girl to enter the bathroom with a towel. Usually they cover themselves with steam or their hair." "In the past, nipples were even shown." "Towels have no place in the bathroom. You use them when you go back out." "Poor Japanese studios. They submit to the demands of the Chinese." "Wouldn't surprise me if this was done to satisfy the Chinese." The anime adaptation of "Date A Live" has four seasons so far, with the current fourth season simulcast on ProSieben MAXX since April 8, 2022. The light novel by Tachibana Koushi with illustrations by Tsunako has been completed with 22 volumes and is published in English in this country. A German release has not yet been announced.

titodacat said: ok? what was the point of this? it's simulcast I wouldn't expect it to be uncensored There won't be an uncensored verison, apparently this is the final version approved by the ccp, since chinese producers are on the production committee, all versions are the same. The Bluray and dvd release will be basically the same, that's why there is so much controversy abt this in japan. |

I mean given the fact the show has never gone to the full nip, I dont see how them not having towels would be better since there would be stupid amounts of steam and light beams. my question still stands what's the point of this? I didn't hear anyone complain about it since it isnt censorship, its just the pg13 way of having the scene. I'm german, and that's a page I often frequent for anime news, also there is a controversey abt it in japan. Check out otakomu japan. https://otakomu.jp/archives/29207462.html The anime didn't have any problems before to show skin during bath scenes, check out seaosn 1 and 2 for that matter, japanese fans are calling out that hypocrisy since the anime has been on the chinese approve list with content like this being altered. Also the anime airs on AT-X which shows anime uncensored if such a version exists. |

Well brace yourself, I haven't seen so much negativity form a date a live season so far in japan, it's really criticized there. Might be the last time the studio works on the show, jus like with jc staff and when the chinese fans were angry abt season 3. |

| In all honesty I couldn't care less even if I tried lol. Some people have an unhealthy amount of free time to complain about something like this |
 |
| yeah for me if they are gonna censor it then better nothing ecchi at all, only then they will realize how stupid everything looks other than the no longer available next level fanservice that they had been doing. |
| People defending censorship in this thread, gross. |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas "Woof" -Tobiichi Origami "Are you trying to turn the dormitory into a strip club!?! -Atena Saotome |
| jeez man. ofc they didn't made it uncensored. If you horni as hell there are always doujins and r18 fanarts. I can't believe such a thing that has no impact on the plot will make some frustrated. but well yeah it still a missing detail |
| geez this is not even an ecchi anime lmao |
 |
| I don't mind that much, at least it doesn't impact in the plot, but it is true that the girls being naked was already done before in previous seasons, so it is kinda weird that they changed that. Also, people here are saying DAL isn't an ecchi anime, huh, weird. |
| I am surprised they expected uncensored tits when Date A Live is not really that ecchi. I sympathize that the censorship is not needed, and shows studios compromising freedom of expression though. |

It isnt being criticized over there, the actual controversy that is actually happening over there is the unfinished episodes China is getting.Well brace yourself, I haven't seen so much negativity form a date a live season so far in japan, it's really criticized there.

Told you the studio won't get another season with date a live its over for them. |

| The ironic thing is hard ecchi anime has been in a harsh decline in japan. Highschool dxd might not be coming back, to love ru never coming back. A lot of feminist groups in japan that got outraged over love live chika's crotch. Also dal has not been a hard ecchi with rampant nipples from the beginning. Plus kadokawa is pushing dal to be more mainstream since it was featured with sao and re zero at the light novel festival and there is a lot push for dal merchandise. This seems to me like the otaku reactionaries similiar to star wars's fandom menace that gets outraged over seeing POC. In general a hell hole that needs to he avoided There is also a misunderstanding of context. DAL was never a very sexual anime to begin with. The publishing brand I say has that nature but it should be seen more as like how all vns had sex scenes which is why fate had to have them vs sex is a huge driving point towards the story. Sure we may have Origami trying to seduce Shido, but the MC has next to no carnal thoughts and the plot involves around spirits who can sort of be seen as servants. There are other anime that are not hentai that talk far more about sexual things like porn, intercourse, hooking up. |

Dude you're saying this in a climate where redo of healer and world's end harem both got an anime. Both of those are 10000 times worse than either series you mentioned, and in the summer seaosn we're going to get isekai slave harem anime, which is on the same pedestal as redo of healer or world's end harem. While I agree we get less ecchi anime, in return we get the abundance that is isekai. |

| Redo of healer and world's end harem are unlikely to go as long as dxd and To Love Ru. People forget HxEros only had 1 cours and its manga ended very quickly after. The series had next to no merchandise. To Love Ru especially a lot of merchandise and was constantly on the cover of Jump Square, and that series is basically never coming back. DxD's producer even stated DxD's Hero's poor sales which is why the series is in imbo. https://comicbook.com/anime/news/high-school-dxd-producer-industry-changes-sales-impact-explained/ |

Lots of people did not take kindly to it and despised the new artstyle. |
