| @EcchiGodMamster This may be me coping but are we sure this was the studio choice to censor it and not the possibility that the publisher of the source material didn't want the adaptation uncensored for distribution reason for the blu ray later etc? As far as I know this may be the only anime that was censored by them so I personally I can't believe Passione suddenly became beta idiots that censor stuff. |

@Vindstot Why did you remove the characters I added for Season 2. The first season adapts 5 volumes and some of the chapters of the six volume. Why did you remove these characters from Season 2 even though they appear in volume 6 chapter 46 'Congregation of Commanders' where Season 2 will begin adapting?:

When I added these character for Season 2 I provided proof. Why delete them now even though you are guaranteed to add them later.? You are misinforming people

| @Yubisoft @Leknaat Since you are the admin may I know the reason why this happened so I won't waste my time doing something like this again? |

| @EcchiGodMamster Gutted(they had an uncensored version) ? I think you are exaggerating( and I buy and read the manga volume so I can compare). Yes they altered some scenes but I 100% wouldn't say gutted but yeah I get what you mean. EcchiGodMamster said: in this day and age I think plenty of anime productions have proven that Japan doesn't give a f about the west White Fox with Goblin Slayer Lidenfilms with Goblin Slayer Liden films with Takamine TNK with Redo of Healer Asahi Production with Gushing over Magical Girls etc. So that leads me to believe that the recent censored examples was more because some retards were involved during the productions rather than the Japanese animation industry has started to become westernized and puritans. I am a very pessimistic person but somehow I have the feeling Passione won't disappoint us with this. After all Chained Soldier has become an important ecchi series and I believe Passione know that ecchi in this series is vital. We'll see |

I think plenty of anime productions have proven that Japan doesn't give a f about the west
White Fox with Goblin Slayer
Lidenfilms with Goblin Slayer
Liden films with Takamine
TNK with Redo of Healer
Asahi Production with Gushing over Magical Girls
etc.
So that leads me to believe that the recent censored examples was more because some retards were involved during the productions rather than the Japanese animation industry has started to become westernized and puritans.

Yubisoft said: Lidenfilms with Goblin Slayer Goblin Slayer s1 was pre-pandemic Goblin Slayer s2 barely showed anything potentially controversial and it was obviously post outrage Yubisoft said: TNK with Redo of Healer Redo of Healer was being made before the 2020 anime boom and despite having sold over million manga copies, the BD sales being good AND having a mostly female audience... there's STILL no s2 This is the only one I think counts other than Futoku no Guild, which also despite selling well has no s2 when it comes to ecchi being nerfed its mostly "battle ecchi".. while i hear they added some lewd stuff to Beheneko, that shit was SUPER tame compared to older battle ecchi I'm not getting my hopes up, I'm gonna remain skeptical |

| People thinking that because Passione does it, it will be very ecchi or would be well done in that section when the staff that the anime has, especially the director (The Misfit of Demon King), is going to be the problem lol |
| Everyone is saying studio this, studio that.... The animation studio has Z E R O choice over this kind of thing. Whoever makes this does not matter, they are responsible for animation and that's the end of it, they still follow the committee's requests and their choice when it comes to broadcast and censorship that matters. |
