One of the works that since its beginning, last year, when the first season premiered, has caused several controversies was “Megami at Café Terrace» (The Coffee Terrace and its Goddesses).

Yesterday in Japan, episode number 6 of the second season of «Megami at Café Terrace» (The Coffee Terrace and Its Goddesses) and with that we were able to see the continuation of the trip to the Kusakabe Hayato hot springs and the «helpless» from the «Family Café».

A chapter that left fans very excited, as we would finally see several animated panels full of «fan service» of the female protagonists, unfortunately the hype for these scenes quickly disappeared, as what seemed to be a redemption of the anime for fans ended up being yet another disappointment. This is due to the censorship which was used in chapters 5 and 6.

As we can see in the images comparisons to episode 5, the sequence where the girls relax in the outhouse and show off their attributeswas completely attenuated with the classic resource of steam bathroom That wasn't all, but episode number 6 of «Megami at Café Terrace», also suffered the same fate at the hands of «censorship-chan».

In this chapter the scene that was shown to us in the manga was Hayato, meeting My in the mixed bathroom, upon seeing him, he blushed as he admired her body «waifu». Evidently, the anime opted for the same steam resource to hide Ami's attributes, thus triggering, once again, the discomfort of all fans in «x» before Twitter.

Quickly, many fans and those who still followed the anime of «Megami at Café Terrace» (The Coffee Terrace and its Goddesses) showed their anger through several comments where they mentioned that the censorship suffered by the anime was “the straw that broke the camel’s back”, since although the story was a “generic copy” of “The Quintessential Quintuplets” the only thing it had in its favor was the «fan service» and with this adaptation he took away what made it different.

In this same context, other users said they felt boringnot only because of the censorship that “Megami no Café Terrace” had suffered, but because the industry showed several tendencies in censoring anime, which made it take away that special touch of independence that characterized him, as well as demonstrated a lack of respect for authors and their works.

On the other hand, there were fans who mentioned that this censorship was “very horrible», but that it was «necessary» because the panels of the original manga were much more explicit, so anyone expecting them to be faithfully adapted was «dreaming». Ultimately, many fans agreed that they would stop following the series, since initially the story was «bad" and now with this censorship he has taken away every kind of incentive to give him a chance.
