Anime Shinmai Ossan Boukensha came Censored

With the new season, new animes emerge, and one of them is Shinmai Ossan Boukensha. This anime tells the story of a man who becomes an adventurer at the age of 30, an age considered advanced by the standards of the world in which he lives.

He is trained by literal monsters and uses his fists with superhuman strength to defeat those who mock him. Early in the series, protagonist Rick faces off against the adventurer Angelica.

Shinmai Ossan Boukensha is originally a light novel, but fans have compared the manga version to the anime. In the manga, we see several moments where Angelica’s panties appear:

In the anime, the same scene was modified, and now Angelica wears dark shorts under her skirt:

Japanese audiences didn’t like it very much and some blame “foreign regulations”, since ecchi animes were common in the past, with panty scenes and other more explicit scenes. Nowadays, more animes are censoring themselves.

Let’s see some comments?

“In the manga it showed”

“The original work didn’t hide anything, this is a joke!!!”

“I am sad”

“Reality is cruel”

“I-it can’t be true. Can this be allowed?”

“With the expansion of the anime market overseas, we are entering a bad era without panties and nipples. They should test how much is allowed, since they usually don’t censor anything overseas.”

“Japanese-oriented anime is dying out. Japan is in decline.”

“Although it is summer, the era of erotic anime is in winter.”

“It pisses me off. I’m disappointed.”

“Maybe if it’s older women’s panties and nipples, it could be allowed overseas if there’s an age restriction?
It’s just that minors (or those who appear to be minors) are problematic out there.”

“It is contradictory how, in the name of political correctness, women with small breasts and childish faces are discriminated against.”

“Well, loli-baba (old woman looking young) is really something questionable. They should stop with this silly idea and just make lolis.”

“I don’t see loli-baba as a replacement for loli. It’s a distinct genre that takes advantage of the contrast between appearance and personality.”

“I don’t want to see panties and nipples just because I’m a certain age. I get irritated precisely because they’re hiding them.”

“I want to see.”

Had one fan who was so angry that he himself edited the anime image by taking off Angelica’s shorts and putting her panties back on, keeping it faithful to the manga:
