Rarely has splattering naked girls liberally with fluids proven detrimental to the success of an anime, but Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls appears to be one such case.
The ink splatter censorship the series is known for probably has not done much for its popularity – for an ero-anime adaptation of an ero-franchise the censorship is heavy and the risqué content light, assuring the anime has rapidly become one of the season’s least talked about anime in spite of some positive assessments by those bothering to watch it.
- regardless if its "funny" ink, blobs, shadows, steam, rays, mosaic or anything else (like recent examples of censoring censorship, such as blobs over mosaic ...)
- regardless of reasons - greedy bait for bd/dvd (mostly non-mosaic) or cowardish yield to overinterpreted-constitution-violating #175 of JPC (mostly mosaic). Although while the former is logically excusable for marketing reasons (putting aside if it's actually efficient), the latter is completely retarded (even more so, if you consider what doesn't have to be censored in e.g. less usual fetish JAVs, but that terrible clitoris can't be seen at all cost)
So to answer: "Would these people prefer random rays of light?"
I couldn't care less. TV version of this show is macabrically censored - that's all that matters. imho.
It's already been shown that the Hanzo character prefers other girls, she may end up bisexual, due to what the preview for the next episode suggests, but for now she's fully M for the princess.
And he's not such a bad fella actually. Kinda reminds me of Shiro, and then I mean the version from the game itself, rather than the Anime adaption.
i think that all the censors should be replaced with this image, as it perfectly relays the message that the creators and/or the TV station wish to express to the viewers:
After watching up to episode 5 and determining that the flaws of the show are that the comedy's not that great, the ecchi is low and censored, and the lack of story is kind of annoying(at least up until half of its run, but I haven't seen 6 yet so I can't say just yet), this show is the most forgettable of the season for me.
agree, is not about the censored/edit, the show haves good visuals, but is a very average show, the characters dont help to love it and the story is pretty poor.
But, yeah I prefer a lot more this kind of censorship than the awful ray of light/steam.
After Queen's Blade, that was quite hard to make a better ero-adaptation. But yeah, it's really sad people avoid this anime, its style is interesting. And well, the girls are hot. Let's forget about the story, it's non-existent.
the anime has awkward moments due to the ink.. but seeing as im enjoying this, i'll buy the DVD. the ink doesn't really stop you from thinking the obvious so it's cool :D
I'm telling you, it's not censorship- it was some moron down at the fabrication warehouse, he/she spilled his/her ink on the gels and decided to add his/her own little touch to the show. Once it was aired it was too late to do it any different, so now we're stuck with this shitty "censoring" of the most certainly wonderful bits.
I completely agree with the argument in this article. I absolutely hate the splatter in HRSG. Annoying as hell when a nice boob flies into the screen and you can't see it because some idiot spilled his damned ink on a gel. It's rather noob-ish and stupid...and I'm just angry. I certainly hope they release an un-censored version at some point.
The blank ink splatters was interesting in the first episode. In the second episode, it was eye-catching and "different". By the third episode, I'm pretty everyone that has resigned to watching this wreck of show, has become entirely annoyed and sick of the ink splatter censorship.
I may be wrong, but personally, I'm pretty sure this isn't too far from the truth.
I'm one of those bothering to watch this series, and I think that for censorship, they at least made an effort with it.
Ridiculously enough, it's the one that messes the image the least, with the magical rays of light being the second worst after covering things with random things like bats and bears like Rosario+Vampire
Seriously i agree with the anon, why the downvotes TenguSan? I prefer the ink blot splatter censors that shitty magical rays of light that fabricate out of no where.
Sigh the only thing that will kill me is the wait for those dvds and for them to be subbed D=
@Ghost Dog: good question, man. this show doesn't look very high on plot (but then again, maybe it's fab, idk), but i know i was watching censored versions of high school of the dead just so i could see what was going on, even if the gore was toned down. then again, my interests are pretty character-oriented, so i didn't mind too much.
Exactly, plus in all honesty I actually like the black ink. It's a hell of a lot more creative then other studio's marketing campaigns for DVD's. Plus it fits with the art style so I don't mind at all. As long as those ink blots are removed upon BD release I don't mind.
Ika Musume what have you done...
IKA MUSUME BUKKAKE!!!
I find the censoring funny, it is the viewer's fault if they take it seriously. If they hate it so much they need to wait for the BD...
Would these people prefer random rays of light?
Censoring is censoring.

crap anime needs real yuri
none of the fake yuri; where the girls like the fail-lead-male character

Mution fucking supported!
At least the ink-splatter censorship goes along with the art style, so it makes it seem less intrusive.
If the thing absouletly has to be censored, I prefer the ink blots to spontaneous sun flares. (Of course I prefer it to be not censored at all).
Certainly better than most of the magical light ray censoring we see now or the mystery shadows that came before it.
*clears throat*

I actually love watching this show. It's quite funny and seems to have a plot lurking somewhere, or at least they keep hinting to one.
After watching up to episode 5 and determining that the flaws of the show are that the comedy's not that great, the ecchi is low and censored, and the lack of story is kind of annoying(at least up until half of its run, but I haven't seen 6 yet so I can't say just yet), this show is the most forgettable of the season for me.
:/

But, yeah I prefer a lot more this kind of censorship than the awful ray of light/steam.
It's more like there's a blot lurking everywhere.
dooohohohoho
Its too bad if its popularity isnt doing well.. I think its "cool looking" style wise at least.
Yup, it's a nice change from the usual style.
I support this show!. Tengu I would have replied and up vote but i;m too lazy to log in. :D
Looks like Ika Musume puked all over it...
just wait for DVD versions
Doesn´t matter if its ink, mosaic, rotating flowers, black mist, rays of light etc. censorship is shit and should be banned by law and not supported!
ah~ they found new style of censoring~
After Queen's Blade, that was quite hard to make a better ero-adaptation. But yeah, it's really sad people avoid this anime, its style is interesting. And well, the girls are hot. Let's forget about the story, it's non-existent.
nice:) I like how there saying "yes,this obviously is not going to be on the dvd."rather then that fucking fog lol.
And this is why I'm waiting for the blu rips to show up
just like Qwaser and then enjoy both in HD

So Senhime had sex? Well I will be damned
It's either ink or a very sick dude.

i love the artstyle being used here. sad the censors are fucking it up.
will just have to wait with 1080p Blu Ray goodness :)
Black bukkake? I thought bukkake was white.
i m not that bothered with the ink splats compare that to rays and other what nots i think ink splats are better
I'm one of those bothering to watch this series, and I think that for censorship, they at least made an effort with it.
Ridiculously enough, it's the one that messes the image the least, with the magical rays of light being the second worst after covering things with random things like bats and bears like Rosario+Vampire
Plus the show is funny enough, and as mentioned the plot tantalizing enough that you don't really notice the ink blots that much.
Least that's the situation in my case anyway.
Huh? I though this anime was popular in Japan. I guess not :(
bukkake? where? oh the black ink....
better then random rays of light (even indoors at night) or strange slowly rotating flowers.
Think of it this way: the more censorship there is, the more the DVD is going to kick ass! ^^
(waits for the downvote >.>)
Why the downvotes?
Would you prefer black boxes or ink blots? Maybe Parental controls don't exist. Oh wait parents aren't parenting...
*looks at the ink*
Looks like a certain squid-girl has a part-time job in the editorial department~
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei had the best censors of all time
Ika-Musume is a naughty girl vomiting ink all over the place. We should punish her. ^_^

It might as well be that way other wise get the BD.
I watched the first 2 episodes of this censored and I decided to put it on hold until the discs are out. It's THAT interesting.
bad self-esteem i guess ^^
What's the point of watching a serious' TV release anymore if it's incomplete and you'll have to shell out cash for the full thing?
Fans might as well skip the TV Airing and wait for the Blu Ray/DVD.
Exactly, plus in all honesty I actually like the black ink. It's a hell of a lot more creative then other studio's marketing campaigns for DVD's. Plus it fits with the art style so I don't mind at all. As long as those ink blots are removed upon BD release I don't mind.
Yeah, there is NONE of what you spoke of.. Fucking trolled us!
But yeah, nobody watches this show anyways..
"Check her ink!"
Censoring is shit, but at least the ink blotches are some variation from the usual and fit the visuals.
Well, we still have loli exhibitionism and pic#16 has escaped the censors as well. Golden Shower! lulz
It does look like something interesting is happening in pic 16, but I think that's just water.
Water is boring. Imagination ftw! ^_^
Unless it's KissxSis, in which case you don't need to use imagination...
another porn? I'll pass.
I'd better go spend time with my real, extremely cute, soft and adequately wet girlfriend.
