Censorship in ReZero 3 is to Reach More Countries
Recently, we published here a change in the designs that two characters from the Re:Zero anime underwent. Basically, if you haven’t seen it here, the characters Liliana and Capella had changes in their clothes compared to the light novel versions.
To start, this is Liliana in the light novel:
And this is Liliana in the anime:
And now you can check out Capella:
And her version in the anime:
As you can see, they had their tops and shorts increased, and the reason for this was given by the anime’s character designer, Haruka Sagawa, who went to her Twitter to explain that the changes in the designs of some characters are “to reach more people than possible” and that “each country has its broadcast rules.” So that’s the reason.
Obviously, many are not happy (and rightly so, censorship is never good), this shows that in order to be broadcast in as many countries as possible, they are censoring the anime at the source, instead of making local changes.
This also indicates that this was not her decision but rather that of her superiors who asked her to censor such characters. Anyway, how do you feel about this change? And will the scene of Priscilla changing clothes be completely removed?
