The anime adaptation of the novel Shinmai Ossan Boukensha, Saikyou Party and Shinu Hodo Kitaerarete Muteki and Naru (The Rookie Middle-Aged Adventurer Was Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party to Become Invincible) by Kiraku Kishima recently premiered in Japan and fans are not happy with the censorship.
The manga has some ecchi content that fans thought would be passed on to the anime since it airs in Japan at dawn, when more adult content airs, but this did not happen as you can see from the images comparing the scenes.

Synopsis by Shinmai Ossan Boukensha
The “shōnen story aimed at middle-aged readers” follows Rick Gladiator, a guild employee who strives to become an adventurer. Conventional wisdom dictates that it’s best to start the adventurer’s path at a young age, as it takes training to gain magical powers. However, Rick is starting after he turns 30.
Thanks to his work with the Orichalcum Fist, a legendary group of the most powerful adventurers in the land, he has already lived an unimaginable life with high-level fighting skills. With skills honed by literal masters of the “Monster class,” from dragons to vampires, Rick faces off against one elite adventurer after another.
