Those anticipating the nipple-filled uncensored broadcast of To Love-Ru Darkness on premium anime channel AT-X have been outraged to learn they will be “enjoying” the same steamily overlit show as everyone else, much to their despair.
AT-X subscribers can doubtless be forgiven for wondering why it is they are paying $25 a month to watch the same censored shows freely broadcast a week earlier on terrestrial HD TV:
Assuming the series is not up to its old tricks, the sight of nipples will now apparently have to wait until the disc release.
Will have miserable ratings and be considered a "failure" with the censorship, but the question is if the dvd/blu-ray sales will actually be profitable for them..
ecchi, delivered well, can be just as good as hentai. in fact, considering how crummy today's hentai is it's not difficult to create higher quality stuff without having to go all hardcore.
sadly, today's ecchi hasn't delivered well in a loooooong time and is just as crummy as today's hentai. both have predictable and unoriginal plots, both have scenes and situations we've seen 10000 times before, both have obnoxious characters, and both fail to satisfy.
Things lose something when they become hentai. You could have a to love ru hentai and tbh I probably wouldn't give a flying fuck, but ecchi shit, heck yes.
why struggle when you can watch hentai, i really dont get it, is like people how watch some suspicious thumbnail on youtube, and click on it to watch porn!
I would not be terribly surprised if the fans decided to boycott this series and/or AT-X out of spite.
I mean there's gotta be SOMETHING on in that time slot on one of the other channels that doesn't engage in deceptive advertising, like the local weather report or Sham-Wow infomercials. If I wanted to watch a program without shadows, steam and beams of light blocking the stuff that I'd like to see, that's what I'd watch.
Naive, very naive. Ishihara wouldn't let Darkness be uncensored on TV no matter what, after all the mocking author of Darkness to Ishihara's censorship laws, it was bound to become light beam.
Considering AT-X have never once claimed it would be uncensored and that the adverts for it never carried the "age restricted" note that uncensored versions tend to carry, I really don't get the point of this article.
Those of us who subscribe to AT-X have known all along that this would be censored. That's how companies roll these days when they want to push DVD and BD sales. If they allowed AT-X to show an uncensored version right away, they'd loose their biggest incentive for peddling those stupidly over priced collections.
It's time to accept that this marketing ploy isn't going to go anywhere as it works all to well and idiots with more money than sense are all too happy to keep funding it.
I'm not surprised of this shit 'cause other current series,as onii-chan to sae areba dakedo kankenai yo ne,are transmitted censored on AT-X too...The effect of the new law will make more difficult to see uncensored broadcasting on tv,we only hope that they do not crap like Uppotte or Otome wa boku that are also censored in the disk version!!!
And finally,the moralistic removal of Mikan fanservice gives me already a good reason to not purchase anything of animated version,the manga instead it's always fantastic in every new release!!!
I don't care about not seein' nipples etc(but nippleless tits look strange anyway)
But covering half of screen in light is overkill, it just looks awfull, cmon
It was already hentai without sex, which was fine/fun. This is like music/jokes with a bunch of it bleeped out, or violent movies with blood/gore/ect blacked out. Nobody would want to watch/listen to that.
Which makes them cousins. Everything else is just a technicality bolted on after the fact.
Kind of disappointed to see that Kyon's imouto didn't get any... More
Hope you know Trump and other presidential candidates are under secret service/fbi protection, which investigates all threats to US presidential candidates in and outside of... More
I repeat myself from previous Darkness topic, did you really expect it not to be?

Yes, unfortunate with the new laws in Japan, but outside of it the sun shines and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
yeah i think so, the show itself is not to blame, and it has never disappointed.

Of course, otherwise its literary integrity would be at stake!
It's sad to see how myopic imbred imbeciles keep thinking against the wishes of the general populace and, worse yet, art.
THE LIGHT! IT BURNS!
Well, yes, like every other ero-anime on AT-X.
Naive, very naive. Ishihara wouldn't let Darkness be uncensored on TV no matter what, after all the mocking author of Darkness to Ishihara's censorship laws, it was bound to become light beam.

WHERE IS MIKAN?
Mikan is in the center and the one that is missing is Yui.
No, THAT - Kotegawa, as in origial.
http://piccy.info/view3/3566974/d072edced5eeb698045a2f26a8250a23/
Good point. Probably removed for incest.
And yet other incest specific animes do just fine.
Incest kakoii
Mikan is the brunette in the center of the image?
That's Kotegawa, see link by 13:04
If Mikan was removed as a heroine candidate, then all fans truly should boycott the series.
So, uh, what's new about this?
Normally, AT-X has shown things less edited. But not this time.
especially since they are charging top dollars for it while broadcasting later...
Et tu, AT-X!?
what a pile of shhhhhhteam
I'm not surprised of this shit 'cause other current series,as onii-chan to sae areba dakedo kankenai yo ne,are transmitted censored on AT-X too...The effect of the new law will make more difficult to see uncensored broadcasting on tv,we only hope that they do not crap like Uppotte or Otome wa boku that are also censored in the disk version!!!

Fuck this shit
I won't buy the BD/disc and I hope everybody does the same. But, of course, i will download all the BD-RIP caps as a motherfucker xD
Enjoy it while you can. The feds are watching.
Piggie piggie oink oink
that is why we wait for some 1 else stupid enough to buy it then post it on the web ^_^
wow.... really dont wanna watch until blueray is released....
I've seen more panties and nipples in AYAKO by Osamu Tezuka than this stuff.
Uncensored!!! WTF JAPAN YOU USE TO BE SO COOL NOW YOUR TURNING INTO CENSORED SHIT
no comment.
I don't care about not seein' nipples etc(but nippleless tits look strange anyway)
But covering half of screen in light is overkill, it just looks awfull, cmon
Fuck this series now. It doesn't show Lala or Yui enuff for my tast taste
Agreed.
i bet they did this in order to get you to buy the dvd so you can watch the uncen version
damn censorship
Compare the manga panel with the anime screenshot.
Anime version is more like Trouble Lameness instead of Trouble Darkness
Love-Ru Darkness is coming west-side under a different publisher.
I hope we don't get the shitty censored TV version!
This shit is unwatchable.
What happened to Japan? They use to have the most craziest shit and now their starting to act like the puritan west.
Isn't AT-X a payment channel? If I pay for a channel, then they give me censored stuff I would cancel my suscription ASAP
Shouldn't this be on the Top 10 Godliest anime list, what with all the celestial apparitions and godly revelations in every 2nd frame.
need moar Kotegawa
The tv studios janitors are probably complaining of having to clean out all the sperm from chairs, undersides of desks and floors.
To-Love-Ru Brightness
They are expecting us to buy BD / DVD.
SHUT UP !!! AND TAKE MY MONEY !!!
To love Darkness censored is like hentai without sex.
It was already hentai without sex, which was fine/fun. This is like music/jokes with a bunch of it bleeped out, or violent movies with blood/gore/ect blacked out. Nobody would want to watch/listen to that.
