Differences in Broadcast Versions

Depending on the broadcasting station, “Nukitashi the Animation” will air in three different versions: “Fully Censored Ver.,” “Streaming Exclusive Ver.,” and “Seiran Island Ver.”

The “Fully Censored Ver.” can be viewed on BS11, Gifu Broadcasting, TOKYO MX2, KBS Kyoto, and Mie Television, with all explicit content fully censored.

The “Streaming Exclusive Ver.” is available through streaming services, and features more explicit content compared to the “Fully Censored Ver.”

The “Seiran Island Ver.” is broadcast on AT-X and will be included in the Blu-ray BOX. This version minimizes censorship to the utmost limit, offering the most explicit content.

Is it Available Online? Can I Watch for Free?

“Nukitashi the Animation” will also be distributed online. Distribution starts July 18, 2025, every Friday at 26:35. DMM TV and AnimeFesta will offer exclusive streaming. Both the “Fully Censored Ver.” and “Streaming Exclusive Ver.” will be streamed simultaneously online.

Is there a way to watch for free?

Both exclusive streaming services require a monthly subscription. Therefore, there appears to be no way to watch the streams free of charge.

How many episodes will “Nukitashi the Animation” have? How far into the original does it cover?

The release of the Blu-ray in two parts has been confirmed, with the second volume containing episodes 7–11, indicating the anime will be a single cour of 11 episodes in total.

How much of the original game is covered? Which route is adapted?

It is unclear which character route from the original game the anime will primarily focus on, but it is likely to animate the entirety of one specific route. It may also include a selection of events from the common route and various heroine routes, or may even feature an anime-original ending different from the game.

On the original game’s official website, the first heroine introduced is Hinami Watarai, whereas on the anime website, the first introduced is Nanase Katagiri. This suggests that the Nanase route may be the main focus of the anime. Incidentally, the manga adaptation serialized until 2023 primarily followed the Misaki Hotori route.

On social media, comments such as “Is the Nukitashi anime going to be the Nanase route?” and “Judging from the key visual, the anime looks like a mix of the Nanase and Grand routes, making it feasible to fit everything into one cour” have been posted.

Who are the Main Characters’ Voice Actors?

Kōhei Yanagi voices the protagonist, Junnosuke Tachibana, who returns to Seiran Island. Yanagi is known for roles such as Teru Kagari in “Twilight Out of Focus” and the protagonist in the game “Shin Megami Tensei V.”

The island’s most notorious gal, famed as the strongest “bitch” on Seiran Island, Nanase Katagiri, is voiced by Shizuka Ishigami, known for Ikumi Mito in “Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma” and Taiyō Takada in “My Clueless First Friend.”

Hinami Watarai, who is Junnosuke’s senior but goes unnoticed under the Doskebe Ordinance due to her short stature, is voiced by Minori Ozawa, known for the role of Rin in “Wooser’s Hand-to-Mouth Life.” Misaki Hotori, a girl self-conscious about her body and reluctant to undress, is voiced by Rie Okamoto, who played Ameri Ryukan in “Hamidashi Creative.”

Synopsis and Overview of the Series

After losing their parents, Junnosuke Tachibana returns to Seiran Island where he once lived with his younger sister. However, the island has become a madhouse governed by the Doskebe Ordinance, enacted to prevent population decline. The ordinance allows sexual activity anywhere on the island and anyone who rejects “sexual acts” is treated as a criminal and severely punished.

Questioning the ordinance, Junnosuke launches the anti-copulation faction NLNS to protect his and his sister Asane Tachibana’s chastity, starting a movement to bring down the Doskebe Ordinance.

The original game, developed by Qruppo, is a rated-18 bishoujo game titled “Nukige Mitaina Shima ni Sunderu Hinnyuu (Watashi) wa Dou Surya Ii Desu ka?” When the anime adaptation was announced in January 2024, users on X responded with comments such as “There’s no way this could air on terrestrial TV,” and “It's not April Fools’ yet, right?”

The manga adaptation by Mameojitan, titled “Nukitashi – Nukige Mitaina Shima ni Sunderu Hinnyuu (Watashi) wa Dou Surya Ii Desu ka?”, is available in six volumes. From May 2025, Mameojitan's long-form second series “Nukitashi R” began serialization.
