Manyu Hikencho - Decision of making TV animation

I refuse to see the anime until an uncensored version is released.

It evolves over time into your typical wandering ronin story, and then into a feudal drama. It's fun.

Also, as an action/comedy, I would really advise seeing the censored version first. Hoods goes a bit overboard with fanservice and it disrupts the flow of the rest of the show. The censoring is so silly and over the top that it keeps it feeling like it hasn't changed tone. But, if you prefer looking at boobs, that's understandable too. Some people prefer that.

The problem they tried to solve was having the censors be intrusive. So it is to my assumption that they introduced light streaks as a sort of dynamic way to meet censor laws without having little black bars invade the anime.

But now the new problem is that the light streaks are too distracting, they are supremely large and draw the eye from the actual action taking place that they are meant to censor, as well as take up more then their necessary space.

So you can't blame them too much, at least I don't THINK.

Exactly. It's one thing just to censor breasts and another to censor breasts and everything within a three foot radius of them.

They entirely chose to do it. The channel it airs on first is able to air uncensored content. They were being silly with it while keeping the "goodies" for later broadcasts and the Blu-Rays.

Seriously, it shouldn't bother anyone unless they're just watching for the fanservice, and even then there's no need to fret when this is basically just a preview showing before they show the official, uncensored broadcast two weeks later. What's wrong with being overly silly with your censor?

Well, I would be flabbergasted if the sole or at least main reason for the majority of Manyu Hikencho's viewership isn't the fanservice. Works like this don't exactly seem like the kind of works that have people watching or reading it because of the story, especially considering the way they're advertised. So it's pretty easy to see why people might be upset with the censored release since that kinda ruins the reason for watching it. Of course there's gonna be an uncensored version but even then if the director's cut of Qwaser the video quality's gonna leave a lot to be desired.

Anyway, I'm not touching this series until the uncensored version. I'm not angry or anything but fanservice is a huge reason why I'm watching this series and honestly least as of now the story not doing much to pull me through.

They're two weeks away, and you weren't promised tits 7/11. In fact, it was more than warned that you WOULDN'T have tits on 7/11. The initial broadcast is always a censored preview.

Unless you're just incredibly horny and impatient, there's no reason to really care that the censoring is silly. In fact, it's a treat, much better than boring censorship.

No but the advertisement made it seem like I was promised tits for this version, if that wasn't the case then they shouldn't have used uncensored material in the promo for the tv broadcast.

Also I'm not really seeing how the solar flar censoring is silly or creative. If what something like using Macademi Wasshoi! use of clay amation or samurai girls use of inkblots, that would have been clever or humorous.

Like I said I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Delays suck period, the uncensored broadcast is mostly going to be of lower picture quality than the broadcast release and other than the fanservice there wasn't a whole lot this first episode had going for it, story-wise and animation wise, aside the breasts anyway.

Regardless, I will patiently wait for the uncensored version but it doesn't make the censored version any less crap in my eyes.

I'm no wacthing due to hte fact that the censor bar is so overly horribly done that it destroys any scene it;s in. When I can't even tell what's IN hte scene or what I'm supposed to be looking a, then I really see no point in watching it. I wouldn't mind censoring if it was done tactfully, but this is ridiculous.

will there be an uncensored version? i mean without the lightshow?

[godleydemon]

for all of you saying that we shouldn't be bitching because we shouldn't be watching this just for tits and junk, do you read playboy for the articles? sure, I've read the articles, but that's not why I pick one up. I pick one up because I wanna see breasticles. Setting aside the point that I haven't picked one up in over 4 years, its kind of the same point. This anime/hentai, is a fan service based show. The story doesn't work without it, just like the fan service wouldn't work without the story. There to integrated. Just like a good playboy story, its not a playboy story unless someones getting there asses thrown against a wall and.. -cough cough- you get my meaning. This anime is like that, it has to have the fan service in order for the story to work, without it, it makes no sense and is actually pretty boring. There are some interesting fight scenes, but they're not coming for a little while yet, and we'll see at least one more growth in the next two episodes if they keep the trend going they set with the first episode. But to be honest, its just to difficult to watch with the censor bars. They actually make me mad, because I don't think its the companies job to censor things from children, its the parents job. This just makes parents lazy.
