Get ready for a wild ride to Seiran Island! Nukitashi The Animation, the anime adaptation of Qruppo’s adult visual novel adventure game, Nuki-Gee Mitai na Shima ni Sunderu Hinnyū (Watashi) wa Dō Surya Ii Desuka? (or Nukitashi for short), is officially set to premiere on July 18, 2025. Kadokawa has revealed that the anime will be broadcasted in three distinct versions, catering to different levels of, shall we say, “content regulation.”
What’s ‘Nukitashi’ All About?
Before we dive into the details of the different versions, let’s set the stage. Nukitashi is set on Seiran Island, a place where a “Pervert Law” designed to combat population decline is in full effect. This law encourages “reproductive activities,” and those who refuse to participate face severe consequences.
Enter Junnosuke Tachibana, a staunch defender of virginity, who questions the legitimacy of this law. Determined to protect his purity and that of his younger sister, Asane, he forms the anti-copulation front NLNS (No Love No Sex) and sets out to destroy the Pervert Law once and for all.
Three Versions to Choose From
Here’s where it gets interesting. Kadokawa is offering viewers three different versions of Nukitashi The Animation:
- “Seiran Island” Version: This is the lewdest version, featuring the most unregulated content. You can catch this version on AT-X and on the anime’s Blu-ray Disc box.
- Streaming-Only Version: This version offers a slightly more restricted viewing experience than the “Seiran Island” version. It will be available on various streaming sites.
- Fully Regulated Version: If you prefer a more PG experience, this version is for you. It will be broadcasted on BS11, Gifu Broadcasting, KBS Kyoto, and Mie TV.
