Nukitashi Anime Drives Major Subscriber Growth on AT-X

The Nukitashi anime, known for blending bold adult content with high production quality, is having a surprising impact on Japan’s premium anime channel AT-X. According to Yuuki Matsuguma, the character designer for the series, Nukitashi may be responsible for a record-breaking rise in AT-X subscriptions.

In a tweet that quickly gained attention, Yuuki wrote:
“Maybe it’s the Nukitashi effect, but it seems like AT-X is experiencing one of the biggest subscriber boosts in its history. Honestly, I feel like we deserve a bonus for that.”

There are currently only two ways to watch Nukitashi uncensored in Japan:
-
Purchasing the Blu-rays – which are already ranking high on Amazon Japan,
-
Subscribing to AT-X – a premium channel not included in basic cable packages.
This sudden increase in subscriptions is a strong indicator of how much interest Nukitashi is generating among fans seeking the full, uncut experience.

One fan responded to Yuuki’s tweet by saying:
“It really is the Nukitashi effect! I’ve been subscribed to AT-X for a long time, and even on this channel, it’s rare to see something so ecchi, so well-produced, and genuinely fun. I look forward to it every week.”
Yuuki later replied, expressing his gratitude.
Prepare Yourself for Nukitashi Episode 4
While the buzz around AT-X subscriptions is strong, Yuuki also teased what’s coming in episode 4 of Nukitashi. According to him, even the original creators from the visual novel team were stunned during the voice recording session:

“At the recording for episode 4, the original creators had their heads in their hands saying, ‘This is insane, this is insane!’ And I was like, ‘Hey, you guys are the ones who made this whole climax-fest!’ (^∇^)”
Episode 4 is scheduled to air this Friday and promises to push things even further.
