AT-X is the only important airing. The censored versions are completely pointless like the TV versions of Queens Blade.

It’s a head-scratcher this show was on TV anywhere.

Being specifically pulled in Tokyo may have something to do with the Olympics being 6 1/2 months away.

+ 1000. This really only goes to show the absolutely moronic (and creepy AF) highs (or lows) many anime fans are willing to reach nowadays. Oh, well, I guess years and years of most shows being nothing but creepy otaku pandering trash are starting to pay off..

I can't imagine that the anime studio and producers didn't expect to see this coming. I bet this was all a strategy to increase Blu-ray sales.

Not every show can be cheep cash-ins for action figures and video games, or the nth slice of life school drama. It's unfortunate this show isn't for you (I'd argue many of the people voicing their approval of it genuinely and unironically do enjoy it, erotic content and bawdy humor all) but you're acting like there isn't literally dozens of other shows coming out this season if this isn't your fancy. Yen Press, the owner of the rights to the English stateside release of the manga, have got to be making a killing on the comics that "inspired the television show too hot for American streaming." Meanwhile, Funimation is going to need to consider the best way to ensure their acquisition of these rights continues to be profitable. I will say, even based on the manga's content, this was a strange show to decide to simulcast. |

What Anime is Tokyo MX replacing it with?

That wont last long. Several admins have been working on a fix for review boming ever since someone created several thousand accounts to give chihayafuru 3 a 1 and tank its rating. So it should go back to a mid 7 in a few weeks |

Why would anyone hate Chihayafuru so much? |

changes in the circumstances within Tokyo Metropolitan Television
This is a clear reference to the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths. The only thing I would like to know if this was a case of self censorship or if someone in the government contacted a Tokyo MX executive and said the series should be removed. |

That's a loaded and involved question. On the one hand, it was an incredibly well-reviewed series, but one that was non conventional and non pandering, which lead to one group of individuals feeling it deserved to be "taken down a peg." On the other hand, the creator of the manga made some comments that were pro-Hong Kong, which another group of individuals weren't terribly keen on. Whether these individuals were actual anime fans who downvoted or downvoting just for retribution is a question I'm not best to answer. But then you go back to the first hand, and you've got these people that are already disenfranchised with the show who see this "anti-Chinese" backlash and decide to dial it to 11, just as much to prove a point as "for the memes" and "for the lulz." Last I checked there were over 600 accounts that were created that only downvoted this show, which is pretty telling to how unorganic the low rating actually is. It doesn't help that this downvoting has been going on since at least late October, and the MAL website has done little to curtail it outside of locking forum threads discussing the issue. |

Or perhaps it's genuinely popular and well liked. Thousands of people voting for something is different than one person allegedly having thousands of accounts. If it's truly this easy for one person to change a site's ranking so much, then it would happen far more often, I would think. |

But the Anime would likely be done way before then. |

Exactly. MAL scores don't mean jack when it comes to physical sales and most of the people review bombing this thing are just a pack of horny/angry trolls who have no plans on actually supporting the industry with their wallets. |
