Please Put Them On, Takamine-sanis already stirring up controversy among the anime community after only having debuted onCrunchyrollyesterday. While there are many reasons why this show could be considered controversial, the most apparent reason is not just the fact that a mainstream platform like Crunchyroll is simulcasting an ecchi series, but because it’s completely uncensored when censorship would be applicable and warranted, even with an 18+ mature labeling.
Like most ecchi series or otheranime fans won’t want to watch with their parents around, the lead male Shirota is put in many compromising positions where he’sforced to look at and even touchPlease Put Them On, Takamine-san’s eponymous female protagonist in sensual areas. The fact that Takamine herself purposely facilitates many of these moments makes them the series' focus.
Please Put Them On, Takamine-san Has Topless Scenes That Aren’t Censored
This is on top of the many ecchi-themed scenarios that are prevalent in mature anime
Ironically, the series' opening scene begins conventionally for an ecchi series, wherebyShirota is found fondling Takamine, but nothing too erotic is shown. The initial reaction that nothing too explicit will be shown is very misleading, however, based on what happens soon afterward.
Aside from that obviously deceptive opening, there are multiple instances whereTakamine is not only shown fully topless without censorshipbut even involuntarily engages in racy acts, increasing the explicit nature of these scenes. The first takes place when Takamine enters a school shed where Shirota was originally alone and then proceeds to undress as he hides in a corner. Unlike many other anime that leaves nudity merely implied, it is outright shown fully here.
The most explicit scene, however, is when Takamine puts Shirota’s hands on her chest. Even though she’s wearing a top at the time, she is soaked, and the audience can easily see through her drenched shirt, leaving nothing to the imagination. This is obviously the more explicit version of the series' opening scene, whereby nothing is shown, even though Takamine is topless at the time.
The Most Controversial Aspect of Please Put Them On, Takamine-san is the Blackmail
This Is Similiar to What Transpires in Chainsaw Man Between Makima and Denji, But Much Worse
However, this isn’t the first time that Crunchyroll has shown unambiguously mature content, like thecomically inappropriateDomestic Girlfriendand, more recently,Tales of Wedding Rings. InPlease Put Them On, Takamine-san, some of the more controversial aspects aren’t even these uncensored scenes or even the instances where Shirota is put in compromising situations. What’s a far bigger deal is how the episode ends, and if the roles had been switched in these closing scenes, there would’ve likely been more outcry, similar to how the adult-themedChainsaw Manseries avoided controversy by not having Denji take on Makima’s more dominant role.

Aura farming is the latest meme to take the anime fandom by storm, and there are 10 characters old and new who are the biggest sources of it, by far.
Essentially, Takamine forces Shirota to continuously engage in sexual acts for her by blackmailing him into submission. She actually frames him, too, but because of the show’s oddly supernatural spin, this phenomenon soon demotes the framing to mere blackmailing.
The true irony, however, is that the original manga by Yuichi Hiiragi actually isn’t as explicit as the anime. A quick browse on theManga Up! appwhere theSquare Enixmanga series is hosted reveals that the explicit imagery that the anime shows was originally censored. In other words, Liden Films, which produces the anime, madePlease Put Them On, Takamine-sanmore explicit than the original manga, and, probably more surprisingly,Crunchyrollallowed it.
