To Love-Ru Darkness OVA 06 fanservice review

This appears to be a very sexy OVA, maybe the hottest yet.  But it also made some head scratching decisions, including some surprising frontal censorship.

Now don’t get me wrong, there is much more to like about this OVA than to dislike.  For example, I really liked how they expanded on the nude scene for Run.    There’s a lot of kinky nude shots in that scene that did not exist in the original bonus chapter (which only had two nude panels).

That said, you have to wonder why Momo and Risa’s boob play scene was partially censored.

I mean, we’ve already seen boob play from this anime previously, and arguably worse things.  The girl-girl aspect is relatively new for this franchise, so maybe there’s some traction there.  But still, I just don’t get it.  At least when they refuse to show Mikan’s nipples you can think of logical reasoning for it.  This censorship here seems arbitrary and needless, and it’s not like an uncensored BD version is coming later, as far as anyone is aware.

There was also a minor gripe from this scene:

Celine apparently misses the mark in her attempt to suck Haruno’s teat.  Celine did not have this accuracy problem in the manga, obviously.

This was really curious to me because we’ve already established from the 2012 anime that Xebec was just fine showing Celine sucking on Tearju’s nipple.  Nipple sucking really isn’t even THAT risque anymore anyway, not after Hiraku Kaneko and modern ecchi manga creators blew past that taboo nearly half a decade ago.

I worry that these emerging small doses of needless prudishness could hold back the upcoming Summer anime, for which the source material can be quite intense.  First world problems…
