In no way reinforcing the “all late night anime is porn” stereotype, Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls continues much as it started – with plenty of samurai schoolgirls mysteriously eager to shed their clothes in battle, all in the best possible taste of course.
The anime itself seems to have suffered an encounter with Ika Musume, and come off the worse for it – the good bits have all been splattered with ink:
While the censoring is retarded, I found the dark ink splotch style of it fit fairly well with the overall grittiness of the anime. It's more interesting than steam or bright light, at any rate...
The art for this show is pretty cool and experimental. But does it work? Not too well. Everything's too close to the screen and the coloring is so artsy you can't get very drawn in. Not to mention the annoying ink splotches all over the damn place.
Censoring is shit, but at least the blotches are an interesting eye catch. Still, Ika Musume was a bad girl barfing all over the place. We have to "punish" her. ^_^
Yeah the ink is annoying but at least fits the art style, unlike the miniaturised supernovae or power of christ or whatever the hell those light rays in other series are supposed to be.
The artist would defend that as "accidents" because their low pay forbids them to get decent ink-pens, hence the blots which "coincidentally" covers nipples.
yeah and by coincidens the ink splotches even make some noise when appearing on the screen (but what really bothered me in the first ep was that they appeared even in non ero scenes)
I approve of it because it it oddly fitting with the style as opposed to the rays of light or steam from nowhere. The ink it actually used a lot for other things in the show as well so it hardly seems out of place.
I was VERY excited about this show and it even has gals from "K-On!" doing voices but the Ink Splatter gag - Really RUINED my first impression of Ep#1.
I couldn't even get through it all. I was at the 15 minute mark and just got annoyed. Now it's on my "C List"- which is anime's I Might go back to if we enter a season where nothing good is airing for 3 months.
If there is a channel (Like AT-X or whoever show H.O.T.D uncensored)- I Might care again. To think all that time, production, and advertising for a show Intentionally Ruined with Ink Spots!
+++++
Well i Think i am the only one who likes this style of censoring or ? Sure i would enjoy it without that but.. So you enjoy the anime "more" for the style the anime is~ Not only for the eroge parts
Heheh, would be fun. We'd have to make sure poor Ika doesn't die from fear of being eaten herself, though.
I'd eat her, but I wouldn't eat her, if you know what I mean.
excellent tactic, covering up all of the nudity with ink blots...
its like guarenteeing yourself dvd sales since horny otaku like myself long to see teh oppai bounce in all of its intended glory.
i wonder if these guys know that otaku are usually broke though? :'[
I WANT ( . )( . )
I can't stand to watch this show.. the censoring is horrible.. and ink spots whre their isn't even censoring.. it's awful.. give us the white or black.. anything is better than this horrible censoring.. I can't stand the ink blot censoring at all.
I repeat... Interesting censoring method
interesting yes, kill joy yes, needed no!
And the awating for BDs starts once again...
AT-X versionplz. (屮゚Д゚)
If I'm not mistaken, the AT-X version is also censored
AT-X has it censored as well unfortunately.
The uncensored pics above are from the promo

It's true, the show has a sweet style to it so I can look past the censorship during the TV version.
But not literally..
I'm not a fan of this kind of anime but I really like the art on this one, might pick it up when it's released in BD.
I might as well watch it.
Lol. I had a DBZ moment during that second episode where the glasses girl goes, "Her power......it's over 5 MILLION!!!!!!!!"

ITS OVER 9000!
I was hoping AT-X would have it uncensored, I guess I'll keep watching Ika Hyakka Ryoran Musume.
was ika musume a part of this anime?
IT'SSSS.... OOOOOVEEERRR
NNIIIINNNNEEEEE THOUUUUSAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNDDD!!!!!!!1!!!!!1!!1!1!!11!11!!1111!

@schrobby
Odds are the punishment will get censored too.
Yeah the ink is annoying but at least fits the art style, unlike the miniaturised supernovae or power of christ or whatever the hell those light rays in other series are supposed to be.
Beams of light and fog are pure annoyance. Whoever employs those should be neutered.
Someone PLEASE raid the broadcasting stations and take ika-chan away...or at least seal her mouth!
with a cock?
The artist would defend that as "accidents" because their low pay forbids them to get decent ink-pens, hence the blots which "coincidentally" covers nipples.
it becomes scary when this "coincidence" continues for the whole season...
yeah and by coincidens the ink splotches even make some noise when appearing on the screen (but what really bothered me in the first ep was that they appeared even in non ero scenes)

Wouldn't creamy white liquid similar to watered down milk be better?

Epicness! The sister to Ikki Tousen?
Bad Ika! >_> ^_^
Anybody up for some Ikasumi Wakamezake?
Heheh, would be fun. We'd have to make sure poor Ika doesn't die from fear of being eaten herself, though.
I'd eat her, but I wouldn't eat her, if you know what I mean.
i dont really like to eat sqiud
You won't make an exception for Ika?
Your lack of dedication is disturbing.
uh - why are they alll so beige and pink?
^_^
@Azriel:
Why is you Grav a pic of palmtop tiger's bung hole?

Single eyed tiger? ^_^

I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking foward the next episode.
Pic 3 is one for the anatomy fail gallery.
Is there an AT-X brodcast?
What does the scouter say?
nothing, as the black ink block the view.
Power score round about 5 million, so over 9000
The first episode came out a month earlier than it was suppose to. Second one came out like last week (about a week earlier)
The censoring is...different.
I like the dark outline art style and the ink blobs oddly fit the style.
Agreed. The artwork looks cash. Good shit.
The part of Ika Musume censoring Hyakka Ryouran is flawless, she's the new censor.
And for once in a long time we meet an ecchi anime without a useless, forgetable or pervert male lead.
I'm just gonna wait for the DVD/BD releases
samurai girls r my weakness
I can't stand to watch this show.. the censoring is horrible.. and ink spots whre their isn't even censoring.. it's awful.. give us the white or black.. anything is better than this horrible censoring.. I can't stand the ink blot censoring at all.
No oppai for humanity de geso~
Do they censor the (non existing) oppai of the loli as well? I hope not.
