Please Put Them On, Takamine-san has already ignited controversy just days after its debut on Crunchyroll. The anime, based on Yuichi Hiiragi’s manga, is drawing attention for its lack of censorship, with some viewers questioning why a mainstream platform would stream such explicit content. While ecchi series often push boundaries, this anime has been criticized for going further than expected, even with an 18+ label.
Much of the backlash stems from its numerous risqué moments, including full nudity and suggestive interactions between the protagonists. Unlike many anime that use strategic angles or lighting to obscure certain scenes, Please Put Them On, Takamine-san leaves little to the imagination. Fans have pointed out that even the original manga had more censorship than its anime adaptation.
Unfiltered Fanservice Raises Eyebrows
The controversy surrounding Please Put Them On, Takamine-san largely stems from its explicit scenes. The opening moments appear to set up a relatively tame ecchi story, but it quickly becomes apparent that the anime is pushing boundaries further than expected. Takamine is shown fully topless multiple times, and scenes that would typically be censored in other series remain entirely uncensored here.
Please Put Them On, Takamine-san
Episode 1This shit is so ASS lmao.
honestly if they capitalized on the moment she screamed and the whole scenario turned south. There could have been a much more emotionally challenging scene. pic.twitter.com/quvQN8hBJc— GILGASLASH (@gilgaslash) April 2, 2025
One of the most discussed moments occurs when Takamine enters a school shed where the protagonist, Shirota, is hiding. Instead of the usual implied nudity seen in most anime, the scene is depicted in full detail. Another moment features Takamine pressing Shirota’s hands against her chest while wearing a soaked, see-through shirt. Many fans argue that such moments cross the line from traditional ecchi into outright explicit content.
Blackmail Plotline Draws Comparisons to Chainsaw Man
While the uncensored visuals have sparked heated discussions, the anime’s themes have caused just as much concern. Takamine frequently forces Shirota into compromising situations, and by the episode’s end, she actively blackmails him. Viewers have drawn comparisons to Chainsaw Man’s dynamic between Makima and Denji, but in this case, the power imbalance is even more pronounced.
Some fans argue that if the roles were reversed, the backlash would be significantly stronger. The supernatural elements within the story blur the lines between coercion and fantasy, but many still find the premise unsettling. Surprisingly, the original manga was less explicit, as Square Enix’s Manga Up! app had previously censored some of the scenes. This has led to further criticism of both Liden Films, the anime’s studio, and Crunchyroll for allowing the adaptation to push these limits.
Despite the controversy, Please Put Them On, Takamine-san is gaining attention among ecchi fans who appreciate its bold approach. However, its content may continue to divide audiences as the series progresses.
