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.
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.
They are expecting us to buy BD / DVD.
SHUT UP !!! AND TAKE MY MONEY !!!
Compare the manga panel with the anime screenshot.
Anime version is more like Trouble Lameness instead of Trouble Darkness
The tv studios janitors are probably complaining of having to clean out all the sperm from chairs, undersides of desks and floors.
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
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 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
that is why we wait for some 1 else stupid enough to buy it then post it on the web ^_^
Enjoy it while you can. The feds are watching.
Piggie piggie oink oink
Fuck this shit
damn censorship
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
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
no comment.
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
To-Love-Ru Brightness
DAMN IT!!! No point in watching…FUCK I-SHIT-HARA!!!
Remove the bastard Mikan is the best way!! I agree haha !!
i wouldnt mind cencorship, but the amount is too damn high its unwatchable
Yea random steam burst of light black streaks.
This is shit production. Who the hell watches something with streaks and chops on the good parts!?
no point watching censored toloveru. how sad.
I, as many, am slightly pissed at the fact that this much anticipated show is so highly censored, but a part of me was expecting as much. We have no choice left but to wait for disc release in a few months. But hey, at least the manga is enough to keep me from raging.
blu ray your best choice
How to teach the traitors at AT-X a lesson:
1. Cancel your cable or satellite service.
2. Cancel your reception contract with the NHK.
3. Sell your TV or give it to charity.
4. If you have a desktop or laptop PC that plays DVDs and/or Blu-Ray Discs, keep it.
5. If you have kids, get them a puppy.
6. If you don’t, but are married, make love or take a midnight constitutional through Tokyo.
Can I keep my TV, get a puppy, and sell my kids instead?
What is even the point of watching TLR Darkness censored? Why does a censored version even -exist-?!
Curse that open window with the sun “conveniently” piercing each good scene.
Might as well make do with JUST the manga for now!
There ARE other Anime shows!
I can hear the voice of the guys who make this series:
“Please pirate our blu ray releases to oblivion in revenge of the crappy broadcasting censoring.”
Fanservice was always TLR’s selling point since it is not that funny anymore, especially at Darkness.
Watching TLR darkness with censors is like eating pastry without the its filling inside
I need dat filling bro!
Da fuck is this bullshit.
fuck this shit
to love ru anime has been ass since its inception
Devilishly unforgivable!
Why do Japanese take censorship up the ass so much?
Their tiny wiener dicks have shriveled up.
Japan use to have balls, big, sexy balls.
Now they have little man’s wee wee.
Japanese take EVERYTHING up the ass and then dogeza for moar.
An entire nation of pussies, I tell ya.
…You made it seem like a nice place to go to >:)
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.
I cant belive it,what`s wrong with AT-X

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/
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.
Good point. Probably removed for incest.
And yet other incest specific animes do just fine.
Incest kakoii
Why bother having a TV broadcast if they’re just going to butcher it with all the censoring? Just make it an OVA already.
There is an OVA
And then they wonder why people don’t wanna pay to watch this crap.
People pay money to watch a CENSORED show?
Totally ripping off the people! If their gonna censor it for public broad-casting then these type of shows just need to be straight to dvd releases.
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…
Goddammit. No point in even watching the show now that they’ve butchered it to the point of unwatchability.
Guess I’ll just wait till the BD’s come out and hope they’re more like the OVA…
All I can say is, the BDs had better be fucking uncensored. It’ll suck to own the first two seasons and not the third, but I’m not buying censored shit. I’m looking at you Upotte. O=<
That’s exactly why they didn’t show anything on AT-X, more DVD/BD sales, as always, especially on a famous series.
And that’s exactly why no one should buy it. But everyone will because they just can’t not, and this way of doing things will be rewarded and reinforced.
Of course if it didn’t sell well they’d just blame something else anyway and still nothing would change.
Exactly.
Et tu, AT-X!?
what a pile of shhhhhhteam
No no there’s a difference! AT-X version allows you to be not as upset as the first broadcast!
AT-X use to be the broadcast where you paid to watch uncensored new shows.
Now their just as lame as the rest!
What’s the point of this? Go straight to Bluray already
I repeat myself from previous Darkness topic, did you really expect it not to be?
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!
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
The light is strong in this one.
The light is so damn strong it’s hurting my eyes!
It’s Pokemon flash-attack all over agaiaaaaan
WTF!?!
Sorry I couldn’t read your comment – it was Censored.
lame.
Take that horny bitches, as you can see, this proves one thing, this kind of anime, without naked girls and echii stuff, is useless, so, why to borther sensoring somethign that is the whole plot of the anime in question, fanservice anime, is at it`s worse…….ever.
You’re a faggot, that’s all there is to it. If you can’t find any shred of joy out of a this anime, you’re just a worthless cock-loving faggot.
What a retard…nobody likes you virgin…
virgins are the ones that watch this kind of anime, so, speak for yourself.
I’m a happy fapping virgin with big-ass balls and cum like a horse.
Cute girls and sexy elements are always a plot!
My Ass-Pussy is hurting
you mean you’re vajayjay is paining
