We have received several concerns in regards to the Recently, My Sister is Unusual anime that "the program included many sexual materials including masturbation by a female high school student in the time slot that many teenagers could be viewing programming".

Some Japanese reaction:

"So the 10pm time slot didn't work after all"

"Staff knew this was coming and this is absolutely appropriate. Should have aired after midnight from the beginning anyway"

"I have to change my timer recording. I'm not saying it's too much work"

"It left a name in the history of anime"

">"the program included many sexual materials including masturbation by a female high school student in the time slot that many teenagers could be viewing" I wonder why the fact that voice actress Ogura is in the cast and a current high school student is not considered a problem"

"Recently, our TV censorship is unusual"
