The TV broadcast of induced lactation anime Seikon no Qwaser has incensed fans by broadcasting a second episode even more heavily censored than the first, with scenes of skies and ceiling replacing anything with so much as a hint of sex.
Deliberately censoring TV broadcasts to increase DVD sales is an established tactic, but some are starting to wonder whether this excessive censorship is actually a cunning marketing ploy designed to stoke outrage amongst fans, ensuring further publicity and driving fans onto the online and uncensored “Director’s Cut” version?
It seems to be working…
Whew, glad the moe boom is over so we can get quality shows like this.
OMG, Jesus and Mary..
Are religious troops behind this?
Well first of all, any religious troops are going to explain to God why they were even looking up such things in the first place.
Amen to that.
Sometimes popularity makes it apparent without them having to look something up.
Take Da Vinci Code for example. I'm sure no catholic clergy was reading that unless people who weren't catholic or were horrible catholics clamor over it.
Then the clergy would be obligated to read it to ascertain that they're not about to condemn a blameless work.
"Yes, I have to uh, watch this Japanese cartoon to confirm whether it, um... is sinful. Yeah, that's it. I'M DOING IT IN THE NAME OF GOD!"
Seems like the perfect excuse, heh
oh well, ladies vs butlets FTW
Well... at least that doesn't pretend to be serious.
I first read this as ladies vs bullets
same here
Ladies vs bullets, the dead hooker arc
Yes. If you mean that the a japanese publishers learnt too much from jews.
Successful marketing ploy is successful.
Not if it pisses everyone off and they go watch butlers instead
Weird marketing from hell is successful. Hell, Haruhi sold the same episode eight fucking times!
The industry now knows that there are always some Otakus dumb enough to suck up whatever shit they decide to dish out... -_-
That really irritates me because it's true. Big companies only think of people as money.
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZETSUBOUSHITA!!!!!!!!
wrong ava to say so xD
Are you going to post this every episode?
Only if you keep coming back every episode.
Now i see the main criterias for sankaku ...
that's pretty much the criteria for any form of media
just like he keeps crying over how bad is FFXIII even tough he doesn't have the game.
What makes you assume that?
It's apparently what you want seeing as you keep coming back to publicly stroke your hateboner all time.
why do you do this religion? whyyyyyyyyyyy?
To save your soul so that you may go to Heaven and watch any damn thing you want to, uncensored.
Religion is how the elite class control the masses by making them believe that there are things they should not do, not because it's the law but because God said so. Religion tries establish a popular ethical practice in communities but these often clash with the already establish ethical practices of their (the community) culture.
Um... this is not the Middle East nor is it Middle Ages Europe. QFT
Religion has absolutely nothing to do with this. The references to the Orthodox Church in Seikon no Qwaser are as vague and meaningless as they are every time a manga author includes an "exotic" (to the Japanese) religion to spice up his story. Religion has even LESS to do with the censoring.
Hahahaha people actually give a shit about obscure anime
and why shouldn't they?
we're all for tits and ass... and lots moar tits in this case
I dunno...
When I see that shot of the full moon in the sky it makes me think of the light at the end of a long tunnel. Like the end of a Tenga bottle. Hah! That's sexy, isn't it?
Censoring in this case makes the show really really shit
Guess I'll have to get another stream rip =c ah well
The show is really shit to begin with. The censoring just makes it incomprehensible shit.
No Way It has epic Boob based Fights
Anon 19:32 can you please explain for me why Seikon no Qwaser is such shit. To me, it has nicely created characters, interesting backgrounds, decent & occasionally excellent animation and a developing story. Are you possibly disturbed of nakedness or/and sexual themes in it? If so, you need to grow up a little.
1) boobfeeding shota gains super powers... eh... I mean seriously... The concept is so lulz it's not even funny.
2) Tomo... eh... Makes Charlotte from Princess Lover seem like a brainiac.
The characters have no depths, the plot is centered around shameless fan-service.ETC,ETC.The only redeeming quality the show has is the quality animation but its wasted on this.
Also please, stop using the shitty "grow up" excuse theres a difference between sexually powered themes and shameless fan-service material.Please do everyone a favor and grow the fuck up.
How many anime stories there is not having both smart and stupid characters?
Being born in Eastern Finland, this take on Russian Orthodoxy is intriguing for me.
Let`s watch some more eps which way this story is developing.
I demand Justice.
They also cencored some pantsu shots lol
I DIDN'T watch it!
I'll wait for the UNCENSORED vfersion.
nice moon.
assed with watching the censored version, i beleive the first episode has been uncensored but not sure
Episodes will be shown uncensored online-only every Friday.
Streisand effect in action...

Сраная Япошка катится в сраное говно...
случайно увидел это на niconico
Полная бредовость одной половины идей и полная шаблонность второй половины просто Ну никаК не позволяют сознанию(как бы оно ни старалось, даже если бы захотело) воспринять эту штуку всерьез.
Единственное из-за чего посмотрел пару серий - очень прикольно было слышать как Александр время от времени умудряется отмочить совершенно не в тему ченить по русски - "борщ, вкусно, хорошо"... нечасто такое услышишь :))
Я вот думаю, может он со временем разовьется, проапгрейдится и начнет материться во время битвы ? xDDD
In other words (from Ru post above)
I'm a simple Russian guy not very obsessed with religion(i mean with church)... I accidently saw it on niconico. Deam, i haven't seen such a crap for a long time(maybe i'm not very fluent with jap so i dont get something ?)
I mean the plot is somewhere between madness and idiotism. While the pantsu service was done so awfully stereotipically. No fun seeing same ass fullscreen for every 2 minutes.
And this milklicking totally killed my attempt to keep serious about whats going on.
well, i was inspired by hearing some russian words though, such as borsh, horosho, vkoosno.
I wonder if there gonna be some rus-lang badmouthing ("mutt" - мат) during tha battles.
