Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga TV And Blu-Ray Comparisons [NSFW]

Anime has for the most part been targeted towards a younger demographic. Though, there are many anime that have been for the more mature demographic, and then there are anime who are neither. Crossing on borderline “hentai” there are many series that goes to extreme lengths to show such themes for the heck of it. But that stuff isn’t fully acceptable on TV. Many series, such as Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga, are censored on TV, with either black bars, empty stills and cutaways. Even so, why would they do still want to air it?

Who knows, but the blu-rays are a different story. The animators are not confined by TV regulations and can show their full creativity as intended. And this show stirred up some controversy when it aired – it got a decency investigation from the Japanese Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization. The show was originally airing at 10pm, before being pushed back to 10:30pm on Tokyo MX and to 1:00am on Sun TV. The main complaint, was when a character in the show Hiyori Kotobuki, openly talked about masturbation.

And as such, a comparison between the televised and blu-ray versions of the anime Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga is in order. So how much is censored on TV? Quite a lot apparently.

The images on the left are the uncensored from the blu-rays and the right are the censored televised version.

Additionally, here are some images of the original design of the characters:
