In real life, hair generally doesn't act in the censor-pleasing way it did for Zero Two when she first met Hiro in Episode 1 without being held down by something external. One way the level of fanservice in the manga adaptation of DitF is better than the level of fanservice in the DitF anime is that the former is more realistic. There's clearly a market for that level of fanservice and there will likely always be one.

Plenty of manga artists and anime producers make the fanservice a priority, all the way from Ken Akamatsu for Love Hina to Sakurako Gokurakuin for Sekirei to original anime series like Cross Ange. and sometimes, I can pick up a show because I want to see some boobs. I can pick up and enjoy shows for their stories, or their superior production values, or their characters, or their comedy, or their setting, or their fights, etc. Or in other words, here's what one anime fan said in response to a complaint about "indecent" late night anime being aired on Japanese TV:Īnd what's wrong with what you said anyway? People can enjoy widely different shows for different reasons. Japanese media companies have always valued tight control over their public image, so why these small but very noticeable differences? I still don't know why in some cases it's okay for the manga to be less censored than the anime (like in DitF) or for the anime to be less censored than the manga or LN (like in Strike the Blood).
I don't think I've ever seen those same artists do 18+ work for franchises they've commercially worked on, so there has to be some sort of contract those artists have to sign to not produce official-looking 18+ art for those franchises, most likely so that people don't see 18+ art for a non-18+ franchise made by the official artist, and then mistake the original franchise for being an 18+ one.īesides, how much of a ratings difference is there between the level of explicit material seen in the DitF anime versus the DitF manga? There has to be something problematic about the level of explicit material that Yabuki is allowed to use, otherwise they wouldn't have to go through all that trouble to censor it in the anime version, one way or another. For instance, there are a number of commercial non-18+ manga and light novels illustrated by artists who regularly make 18+ works.

There is evidence of at least some "ratings control" by license holders. Yabuki is very experienced at making characters who look like Lala look attractive, so my guess is that he was a shoo-in from the start.
I think at least someone important enough on the production team knew about how similar Lala and Zero Two looked and how they shared the same JP voice actress. Maybe there are different regulations for manga and anime, with manga being able to get away with more stuff.
I actually have no clue how anime BDs are rated in Japan. I believe he stated Lala and Zero Two looking so similar and sharing the same voice actress was just a coincidence, but whatever the case, I think it helped draw in the To Love-ru fanbase.Īs for why the anime doesn't have nipples, your guess is as good as mine. Yep, Yabuki's reputation was definitely a factor in their decision.
