I never get tired of that.

"Sis, why is there a camera man in our bathroom?"

The premise of the new anime is to teach exercises while bathing and stretching after getting out of the bath.


Yeeeeaaaaah...actually I think the "premise" is to provide otaku with some fresh material for that special "alone" time.

I think I know what to ask Santa for this year...

Time for people at Kotaku to see more "strange stuff from Japan", and this video will be shown at Kotaku.

...

Confused

Why were there flashes of her undergarments in the training one? I don't even know why I'm asking since all the jiggling makes the real point of these videos obvious...

Man the sleeping one looks tame in comparison.

Rolling Eyes Nice to see them getting back to their roots with the bath one.

This is too funny, it's like the classic cliche "bathroom scene" in special extended edition! I really had a good laugh Anime hyper
Special props for that atrocious opening song - as much as I could pick up with my bits of Japanese, the simplicity of the lyrics is mind-numbing with cathy refrain lines like...

"Bathing, bathing, bathing - bathing is fun!"
"Bathing, bathing, bathing - bathing is awesome!" (lit. the best)

Feel free to point out inaccuracies, if you feel the need Anime hyper

Admittedly this should be obvious within the first few seconds of video, but maybe it's worth tagging that vid somewhere in the article with a 'mature content' warning? Not That There's Anything Wrong With That, of course, but the PV IMHO definitely crosses the line into NSFW territory (particularly the all-but-openly nude bathing scenes!) and it's probably worth warning those folks who read ANN from work. It's not like this is Sankaku Complex. Smile

Lol - "This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy on nudity or sexual content."

So, it seems that Google don't like their bathtub lolis. Razz

I don't know why I even bother removing my palm from my face anymore when Japan just keeps doing things that send it right back.

That's been there policy (no nudity, most sexual content not allowed) for individual uploaders a very long time now. And there are lots of trigger-happy flag-button people on youtube.

There is a double standard however, since only commercial partners can get away with it by restricting their videos 18+, like Funimation vids.

Aside from Nicovideo, Dailymotion, still allows perceived mature content for all uploads (but again its flagging is up to people), just restricts it, which is at least better than youtube.

Hahaha…I figured something like this would have happened sooner or later with some of those videos from official content providers (though I guess it depends on their "partner" status with YouTube. Even funnier is the double-standard at work, though I surmise that is one of the perks of being a commercial partner than a someone with a free account. If they were a partner and the PV is the same as the one I've seen on their website, then I can't see what the problem was outside of the loli character, considering other officially- (and unofficially-) uploaded anime videos that have shown actual nudity and saucy content before (and Strike Witches (when it first aired) and Dance in the Vampire Bund have gone unnoticed all this time Laughing).

I am very disappointed with YouTube's dimensionalist prejudice. They will allow videos of people getting a nude massage, or having a breast examination, yet they take this down.

This anime is not mere eye candy. Much moreso than Sleeping, in Bathing we can see in the trailer (http://www.notcliche.com/lbw/isshoni-series-promotional-video-streamed) that Hinako is once again teaching exercises.

This is a much better companion to Training, based on this impression. It is teaching stretching and recovery exercises, it will help people who get stiff from watching the first anime stretch properly, a warm bath facilitates relaxation.

Anyone who has done yoga can see that Hinako is actually teaching this. She's teaching a variety of VERY HEALTHY things to do.

Ecchi or not, regardless of what eye candy is being used to draw people in, we can learn something from this. This is something that will be memorable and get people fit and healthy, I believe it.

Wouldn't surprise me if it getting taken down from Youtube was a prank orchestrated by vippers on 2ch or something, to report the video as offensive a thousand times.
