Bocchi the Rock! is one of the premieres of the fall 2022 season, it adapts the manga written and illustrated by Aki Hamaji that is published in the Manga Time Kirara Max magazine —from the Manga Time Kirara family of publications, a seinen magazine—.
Its seinen quality is emphasized because it means that it has scenes in which its protagonists are naked —with censorship— and handles other types of scenes for adult audiences —not necessarily sexual ones.
However, CloverWorks —the studio in charge of adapting Bocchi The Rock! — changed a scene from the second episode, it was very different from what the original manga proposed.
The plot of the episode is that Hitori Gotou —the protagonist— must catch a cold, because of a meeting in which she tries to socialize with her bandmates.
He will use different methods, one of them is to submerge himself in a tub full of ice. In the manga, the girl gets naked —so she exposes her chest and her silhouette—; however, the animated scene opted to have her immerse herself in a school swimsuit, and even darkened the gap so that her skin below her shoulders would not be noticeable.
The fans had their opinions about it, there were comments like the following:
“Could something like this affect Blu-ray sales?”;
“It seems that the anime does not do justice to Bocchi’s breasts”;
“Cutting out all the erotic elements in the anime was a real mistake. Have you forgotten that “Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?” did it sell well because it was moderately erotic? Don’t try to raise your consciousness, even if you are Kirara!”;
“CloverWorks seems to hate eroticism when the girl doesn’t look of legal age”;
“Nerf too light in the anime adaptation.”
Cloverworks decision was to handle its censorship of Bocchi The Rock! thus.
