I think this is an example of censorship destroying the author's intent. If her personality was different it might not matter as much. But she's a shy reserved frumpy girl that lacks confidence, and Pop Step is her alter ego that allows her to rebel against that. Pop Step is supposed to be a little shocking, a little lewd, very sexualized, because it lets her explore the polar opposite of her regular personality. It's supposed to be scandalous. That's the point.

In the anime the costume makes you think it's just a disguise. She's wearing a disguise to do street concerts without getting caught. You don't get that what it's really about is her trying to break out of her shell and be the sexy confident provocative person she wishes she was. Pop Step fits in with the vigilantes because she, too, is rebelling against the system in her own way. But due to the costume change in the anime, this rebellion is muted.

I have no idea what series this is but that sounds reasonable and I think I agree. Also fuck Cloverworks for what they did to Bocchi.

>>279585531 (OP)
Her hair is fucking ugly as shit.

>>279585598
How? It just sounds like you find anything outside of a very small range of styles ugly.

The only difference I'm seeing here is the stockings and they don't really diminish anything. If anything, I'd assume from the anime design that she's wearing shapewear to accentuate her figure, considering she's frumpy and self-conscious.

imagine having to sanitize your own creation just to comform to the westoids agenda

>>279585708
In the manga her miniskirt is worn high up to deliberately accentuate and show off her ass, and she's wearing an extremely high cut thong bodysuit.

In the anime her miniskirt is worn low to cover her ass, she's wearing tights, and the bodysuit is now more modest, covering most of her ass.

It changes the costume from "Overtly scandalous" to "Quite tame". Which deletes a major part of her characterization.

>>279585743
No doubt because they went to him and said "We're going to tone this down for the terminally aggrieved Western Reddit crowd but in return you're going to get paid lots of money in royalties." And he went "Sure."

Who cares. Stop being mentally ill.

>"Laws? Rules? Like I care about any of that!"

Pop Step is an exhibitionist pervert. But Kazuho Haneyama is extremely reserved and shy. That's why the character is interesting. This doesn't come across in the anime at all.

>>279586722
She is barely a character until the final arc. Stop being mentally ill.

>>279588635

>>279588635
Her being weak and indecisive and emotionally fragile makes her alter ego personality that much more interesting. Her getting cucked by a confident older woman showcases why the Pop Step persona exists in the first place. She's desperate to be someone else because she doesn't like herself.

I'll post this here since there doesn't seem to be an actual vigilantes thread, probably for a good reason. Does anyone else think the spin-off is kind of slow and boring? There's almost never any fights, the ones that happen are over instantly. It doesn't really focus on mystery or comedy either though. It doesn't seem to focus on ANYTHING. It's like a random slice of life with both heroes and villains spending most of their time fucking around doing nothing.

>>279585531 (OP)
True, but this manga is dogshit so it doesn't matter in any way, and the anime is also a flop.
>>279589443

>>279593642
It's smaller scale against people who aren't the top threats, so yeah stakes are lower and fights can't drag on. Personally prefer the more "grounded" fights than the huge bombastic battlefield clashes in MHA. Feels like a proper super hero comic.

>>279593686
>coomsomer
i thought that we were meant to be pro jerk off material?

>>279593642
The fights pick up in the later half, and the mystery has been slowly getting worked towards. There's several parts to what's happening. The last episode ended on what's going to be a big confrontation.
>heroes fucking around doing nothing
they stop the shit queen bee is doing
>villains fucking around doing nothing
queen bee's job is testing this new product. This is a prequel. You've seen the ultimate result of this research already.
>random slice of life
Slice of life allows characters to develop, demonstrate their personalities and grow. It is slow burn, but things are about to happen before the end of this first season. You're not going to get as many fights as BHA because this is actually written really well. Hori can't write for shit, so anytime there's a new arc it was just the characters fighting nonstop like every basic bitch shonen. Consider this series more a seinen and things will start to make sense.

>>279594097
I don't know, it reminds me of a CGDCT except without cute girls.

Yes, that's what 14 year olds look like and act like.

She's supposed to be problematic, a bad influence, indecent, and villain-adjacent. In this panel she's getting on all fours and showing off her almost bare ass to the audience. She knows what she's doing is wrong. But she likes it, because she's a deviant. When you take that away she doesn't seem as villain-adjacent and her inclusion in a group of vigilantes makes less sense.

And? What's the problem?

>>279585531 (OP)
It's funny seeing people here complain about how the anime version completely removed all sexiness from the costume, when pretty much everywhere else talking about it is complaining that the anime version is still too sexy of a costume for a "minor" to be wearing.

As a long time pantyhose fetishist I really can't defend this one like I did with Mythra. It just doesn't look as good and it's not a spinoff like Smash but a major secondary installment in the series.

Have these sheltered freaks ever been on Instagram? There are underage celebrity influencer girls showing off way more skin than this on the daily.

>>279597465
Such as?

POP ASS

>>279597664
Piper Rockelle is the super famous one. I think they even made a Netflix show about her. Not only does she show thong booty on her Instagram, there are allegations that her mother sold her dirty panties to men online, that her mother molested her female friends, all sorts of weird shit. She's 17 now but she's been posting skimpy bikini pics for years. She's the only one I remember the name of, but I think there are hundreds of these girls doing the same thing. And then, of course, the day they hit 18 they drop the link to their Onlyfans. Supposedly, some of these girls are actually making content from age 15 onwards, but only put it on their OF when they turn 18. So, the day they turn 18, they already have years of content ready to go. No idea if that's true, but I would bet dollars it is. So really Pop Step's manga costume is pretty topical. It's exactly what a lot of modern teenagers would try to do to gain fame and notoriety. Is that a good thing? Obviously not. That's why Pop Step has villainous aspects, flouting law and morals for fame and glory.

torn panty hose

>>279585531 (OP)
It would be cool and an incentive to make left something you can get on the Blu-ray. No idea how animation works if they could even do that but that's just my opinion.

This always comes back to the fact that Pop should be spanked on her bare bottom for wearing such a skimpy outfit at her age

>>279598123

>>279585531 (OP)
It's Ishiba's order. Prease understand. Bikinis are banned from anime to protect JKs from sexualization... that's why no bikini scene in anime this season. Will they learn if they lose to Tamaki's DPP tho?

>>279595589
No, Etna dresses like a whore because she's in denial about her flatness. Plus, demons in Disgaea kind of just dress like that. But she's not hiding anything about herself or intentionally acting out. She's a sadistic psycho bitch and she's not afraid to let everyone know it.

this censorship sucks, but the way they murdered mignight's outfit was even worse than how the author killed her off in the series

>>279598285
Was there censorship from source in anime when Abe shinzo was PM?
Aharen's swimsuit episode was censored like pic rel, by both Ishiba and Bilibili(for being aired in China). Ironic that ones not being aired in China due to glorifying crime is being censored. Must be Ishiba shigeru banning bikinis from anime.

>>279598356
Everyone knows China is a censorous shithole, you don't have to make bad edits to convince them of such though.

The exhibitionist angle did fit real well in the initial wild vigilante ensemble, but that characterization completely fell through when for the rest of the series she primarily only showed up as her civilian self where shes just a regular shy teenage girl. (perhaps knuckleduster being absent would've put it on her to be the main source of the wild rule-breaking aspect considering that koichi is for the most part a square, but at that point the series would become hentai) Even when her costume form comes back for the idol group thing, the pervert angle never really returns except for like one or two comments and even then shes all shy about it. so since its never followed up on or given an explanation for why shes 14-15 and showing off her whole butt it makes one wonder if she never really knew what she was doing to begin with, like she picked the costume up at the store and didn't realize it was perverted at all, which admittedly is befitting a young teenager unaware of her sexuality.
overall not a loss other than for my dick

>>279598548
My 13 year old girlfriend was buying red and black lacy corsets. There is no teenager on earth that wouldn't get how slutty that outfit is.

>>279597582
American girls of all walks are like this, and not just in the summer, but year round. I think it is because slutwear is popular on TikTok.

>>279586675
You should care before the things YOU love gets ruined and sanitized as well. Unlike you Twittertranny we care enough to address the bigger picture here.

>>279598475
Yeah. Ishiba is worse for censoring animes not aired in China, since bilibili only airs 20% of anime per season, so Chink censorship is applied only on 20% of animes. And China has no feminist while Ishiba himself is feminist even than his wife.

>>279598475
But there is no bikini scene in anime this season... it shows that bikinis are banned from anime in Ishiba's cabinet.

>>279598285
Your fanbase is a bunch of normalfag pussies anyways you didn't deserve better, where the fuck is the midnight rape doujin before death

>>279599549
Japanese censors are really harsh on panty shots as they are linked to real life perverts through panchira. What could be 7-13 rated in America could get 15-18 in Japan because of this. Whenever you see tights like this, it is just to appease this stupid sensitivity. It is why they make them transparent too, the boards literally only care about bare skin touching panties, not what you are seeing on her body. A girl with her ass bare could fetch a lower rating then a panty shot in Japan.

>>279598819

Makoto has been mogging Pop so hard its not even funny. I wish she had a bigger role in the story and was more useful but she can't even fight and there's hardly any need for her to be social when KD and Koichi handle it just fine.
Last episode for example, should have been her gathering intel rather than KD and the gang, the idol thing doesn't seem that relevant to the story and she's about to go legit

Right promotes a healthy interest while i can still respect her and appreciate her beyond just her sexual characteristic while left makes me feel like i need to dispose of her in a woodchipper once i break her and nobody would even notice she is gone.

When will retards stop thinking that japan gives a shit about gaijin opinion, you're not important, you do not matter.
Japan is literally trying to kill access to anime and manga for the rest of the world by killing any unlicensed manga site while also refusing to give a better alternative for overseas fans.
They do not cater to anyone outside Japan, they do not care about anyone's opinion outside japan, even if half their income comes from overseas fans supporting their work they would still gladly cut their income in half if it means you don't get to see it.
Japan wants nothing but isolate themselves from the world again like in the edo period.
Any decision they make with their anime and manga has absolutely nothing to do with the opinion of anyone outside Japan, it never has, it never will and if they censor it it's because they still have laws that have certain standards to publish an anime on japanese tv.

Never played a Dragon's Quest. What goes on in them that would make a gender option difficult for release in America?

>>279608752
Nothing really, it's an overreaction. You can still release games that have you able to choose between male and female. It only seems otherwise because more western devs are doing shit like having the exact same male/female choice system but calling it "body type 1/body type 2" to not be gender specific. It's just them trying to be more progressive or inclusive to the various flavors of trannies out there.

>>279608871

My fucking ass, mouth breather

>>279609593
anon asked about gender option, not outfits. Obviously the west is a lot more sex negative and censors overly sexual things. But that wasn't what was asked about. There's nothing difficult about gender options in video games you literally can just do male/female and release it just fine.

Has someone informed this guy that it isn't religious people doing this and that many of our schools openly promote extreme sexual things, just as long as they aren't normal? The problem won't go away until people stop pretending it is coming from some religious stand point. The groups doing this may act like a cult, but they do not connect themselves to any of the old religions. So religious attacks aren't going to work on these people. It is puritanism rooted in tribalism, not any desire to be "moral". The people pushing it want all of their stuff but none of ours. The Japanese could make a game about a bear raping a shota in high heels and it would be allowed on every major platform in the west. A religious group wouldn't allow this. Japanese have the concept of porikore, the JCP, and groups of feminists who have been attacking this stuff from a nonreligious stand point for decades. How can they not make a connection that this stuff came from the west and is what has been using the west to attack these things for the past decade. Especially when their groups will use phrases in English that don't make sense in Japanese like loudly yelling "Don't touch me!" Instead of saying it in Japanese. Maybe these videogame guys are just retarded though. Anime has been getting a lot lewder recently as they realize that is what people will always want. A lot of the big Japanese game companies are still stuck catering to the "west" though because it somehow tricked everyone into thinking it was the new center of gaming (despite the west never making a single good AAA game). As long as western videogame studios continue to act like retards, these guys will follow them. It wouldn't surprise me if in the future companies like Sony make special branches that produce Japan only games so they can actually profit off of gaming.

MHA is set in Japan. There are no white people.

>>279615963
What color would you call the lighter Japanese then? If you call the Okinawans and such brown because they appear such, it makes no sense not to call the pale ones white. Europeans who first saw Asians didn't even really make a distinction between them due to similar skin color ranges.

>>279589483
A literal drawing. No real emotions. No real consequences. Se doesn't exist at all. Not a single thing of her is real, nothing. Zero.
You're defending your own stupidity.
>inb4 muh "but she's still a child"

>>279615863
she is so cute and comfy

>>279615070
>The Japanese could make a game about a bear raping a shota in high heels and it would be allowed on every major platform in the west.

It's interesting what will be tolerated if it's part of the LGBT agenda. Like let's imagine there's a new anime about a 14 year old gay boy that cross dresses in erotic cosplay outfits and is dating an adult man. The same people that think Pop Step is problematic would find this cross dressing boy NAMBLA member empowering and shining a light on a misunderstood corner of the homosexual experience.

>>279607372
brain fried

I wish Pop got any good at fighting. So far I don't understand her role in the series.

>>279616064
They're Asian, anon. White is shorthand for European. They're not European no matter how bleached their skin is. We were talking about hair types to begin with anyway, which should clue you in to that.
"White women" has never included light-skinned asian women.

>>279617598
She does intel and recon, moral support, first aid.

It’d probably win GOTY too.

>>279618265
I am now recalling the time I was banned from some group's gaming server for racism and I was getting morality preached to me by a guy who had a gif of The Jungle Book where the bear was nutting on the child.

>>279585950
This is still insanely sexualized you burntout cumbrain look at those pantyhose lines FUCK

>>279618265
>which is legal almost anywhere
This is how you know that these people are divorced from reality, their existence is so deprived of any real sexuality they really do think age is just an number -- a number that will never impact them.

>>279586675
Gtfo from here you fucking creep. Go watch your tranny marvel slop.

>>279619657
That's pretty funny considering BHA is an xmen ripoff

>>279619453
Her anime bodysuit, minus the skirt and wings, is almost identical to a lot of 1990s one piece swimsuits. Two tiny cutouts and some pantyhose don't make it "insanely sexualized".

>>279619872
I think it's hotter now so fuck you

>>279598598
thats why I said teenager *unaware*. not every teenage girl is molested by their uncle

>>279617598
Fanservice cheerleader
She keeps the team moral high

>>279597334
Normalfags are just deranged, they want to get hard at her outfit and like her cute moments with Koichi but will never admit it due to the sword of damocles hanging over their heads. Whenever I see her brought up it's just immediate bemoaning of "Why didn't the mangaka make her the same age as Koichi?" as if that wouldn't completely obliterate her role in his backstory.

>>279608497
>Anglos lately are getting prudish even with fucking swimsuits
In case of britbongs, it probably has something to do with increasing Muslim population, both in morals and danger level.

>>279620537
>"Why didn't the mangaka make her the same age as Koichi?"
I'm getting tired at the anglo normalfag being so fucking anal about age equalization
They don't get there is nothing wrong with an age difference

>>279589483
out of 100!

>>279620740
No, i don't think so
It's also something shared with americans
It's mainly characteristic anglo pedohysteria

>>279585950
On what planet is that considered "tame"? Like, sure it's slightly censored, but it's still getting away with a lot for what's considered to be preteen programming.

>>279620916
now you are understanding. the purpose of censorship isn't to make things appropriate for children, but to ruin them for adults.

>>279618265
It’s wild how it has gotten to the point where I do think if there were yaoi manga written by white peoples about young boys no one would care

>>279620916
Her anime outfit is basically just a 1990s one piece swimsuit with embellishments. It's absolutely tame. It's tame to the point that no teenage girl in the year 2025 would ever wear something like this to the beach because it doesn't show enough skin.

>>279621962
If my JK daughter dressed like that I’d spank her

>>279622699
Let me know if you need help

>"Pantyhose makes her hotter!"
You're all afraid of coming off as puritan for defending censorship so you say this shit. You would say the same shit if she was covered in a burka.

>>279620916
If Momo could show her t&a, so should Popstep.

>>279608112
You're a retard because we know some censored designs in the last few years have been made to placate China according to people in the industry.

>>279621962
>basically just a 1990s one piece swimsuit
have you never fucking heard of a leotard?

>>279623222

>>279623538
There's a massive stylistic difference between a swimsuit and a leotard. Gymnastics / exercise leotards are almost never low back, or high leg. You have to go all the way back to the 1980s to find exercise leotards with a similar style. Meanwhile retro 90s swimsuits are still made by many companies and they all look similar to this.

>>279619529
In the case of 2D it kind of is just a number. And if we’re talking reality, there really are a lot of places where the age of consent isn’t 18. Russia is the second strongest nation on earth, and even theirs is 16.
Different people value that maturity threshold differently. That’s life.

>>279623763
It's fucking cosplay dude. And don't act like people can't tailor their own shit. go to /cgl/ and think about what you've said.

Pantyhose lovers should be irritated seeing pantyhose used as cheap censorship and slapped onto designs that were never made with pantyhose in mind in the first place. They're either fakes or have zero standards for their own tastes.

>>279625052
Agreed. Pantyhose is for ojous and OLs.

>>279625617
This doesn't really make sense in comparison to pop step, this would be more like if Toei themselves turned Sanji's cigarette into a lolipop, not 4kids. Since it isn't like Pop's pantyhose was edited in after the fact.

>>279627198
You tell. You keep changing the premise of you argument. Kind understand it. You are mentally and can't avoid it.
The solution is stop being mentally ill.

I'm against censorship, but I honestly find the right to be hotter.

>there really are a lot of places where the age of consent isn’t 18
This is an euphemism
The countries with 18 as aoc are a minority, even in the first world who has a lower average aoc than fucking africa
Aoc of 18 isn't even a majority in the fucking USA
This whole sanitization of teen eros is quite an absurd thing that is disconnected from reality

just going to ignore the part where they say it's a sales issue? they do it to appease age ratings. not because they care about the west opinion. no one is forcing them to make these changes. they do it to themselves to make more money. it's always about money.

>>279631046
the word censor tends to imply outside interference, so the phrase "censor" is a bit strange here. What do you mean by censor? If I alter my art in any way to please my audience is that censorship? In that case art is constantly being censored in every facet of its production. People make art for an audience. That audience has a certain real or imagined sensibility. People alter their works to fit that sensibility. It's the same with gender politics as with anything else.

>>279635421

>>279634409

Or that various minorities and left-leaning have learned to code and develop games and get jobs writing stories, is of course a ridiculous smokescreen.

>>279597496
Didn't realise I shared the board with such fucking FAGGOTS.
Pink is the GREATEST hair color.
It's the colour of the female orgasm, of ripe fruits and berries, while at the same time a few shades off of the color of blood.
It's the ultimate red-blooded straight man's choice. And if you think otherwise you are gay.
I don't make the rules.

>>279635596
Agreed, its the most beautiful color of them all.

>>279635421
>the word censor tends to imply outside interference
Not really. Here's an example; many anime studios producing shows with nudity during the 2010s would deliberately put beams of light or stickers or whatever else they could think of to cover up the nudity so that they could sell blu-rays later on with those things removed. They "censored" their own anime deliberately for money.
In any case, there is a good reason to suspect outside interference in Pop Step's case, it could be TV rating standards, it could be streaming services' standards, it could be the believed standards of the "wider audience", it could be strict stockholder companies, it could be credit card companies, it could be feminist groups. Or it could be the artist censored their own work because they changed their own beliefs later on down the line. It's all still forms of censorship.
