(Hi) Mato Seihei no Slave (Chained Soldier)

[Frontier]

Akarin OP goes hard .

[Huh...?]

[Frontier]

You had me at uncensored !

[Kanon]

Was planning on watching this and it's nice to know it will be uncensored. Crunchyroll should take notes.

They control nearly 4/5th of the International Sub/Dub Market.

So, they don't really care about stuff like that, as they know Viewers have no other choice than to go to them to legally watch stuff.

HiDive is only doing it so that people actually come to their Service, as they don't have that many big Series under them (CR snips them quickly and easily with their Sony backing).
And their two most popular Series (that i know of; aka., Oshi no Ko & Eminence), don't yet have a date for their next Season (Oshi no Ko S2 has been confirmed but no date yet, while Eminence S3 won't happen until atleast a few months after it's Movie is out in Japan).

Whatever the case, I'm just happy that they have it .

There is plenty ways to watch it illegally and there is no real punishment for it eitherthem not caring for such stuff. I think their monopoly aren't strong enough to be able ignore people wishes. HiDive is on good track.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

The audio will still have some censorship in other series, so there is still ways for improvement.

There are at least six shows on their service I'm planning on watching next season, against seven shows on CR. It feels like they're slowly expanding to me. The Dangers in my heart, Kingdom, and Urusei Yatsura are pretty big title. I'd say this one is too, I believe the manga is pretty popular.

Looks like they're going to lock out some region though. I have an alternative but I prefer English subs rather than French ones since I'm involved in English communities (mostly here) and a lot of the time romanizations choices are very different, making it a pain to discuss shows.

It will be the same in Japan, they aren't the ones doing the censoring. The audio being toned down will be the most uncensored a show will get short of the BDs. HiDive can't do any better than that.

Spoiler:

A girl and a boy both wracked by tragedy, fated to meet and give each other the power they need to achieve their dreams and change the world for the better. Thus is the story of Chained Soldier !

Akarin hard rock OP for the win! Featuring Kyouka, her squad, another squad, what I assume are the villains, and Yuuki all battling together !

Honestly you'd think Yuuki (voiced by Yuya Hirose) being a househusband in the making would appeal to girls more, even in a world where girls all have superpowers because of "Peaches." But I guess that just set up exactly what his role in his future Harem is .

It really does seem quite dangerous to live in a world where you can basically stumble into a dimension called Mato where fearsome beasts lurk to kill and devour you. It apparently cost Yuuki his big sister too. You just have to be lucky if one of the Demon Defense Force actually shows up in time to save you, as Kyouko does for Yuuki .

Kyouka has it all, an eye-catching design and outfit (and also some dominatrix vibes, naturally), luscious hair, big boobs, deadly sword skills, and voiced by Akari Kito. And she can tame monsters by stepping on them? What's not to love ?

Though the rest of her squad seem pretty fun too. We've got Himari, voiced by Yume Miyamato, who has machineguns for hands, Shushu voiced by Mari Hino who is a literal GIANT-WOMAN (with a big butt to match), and Nei voiced by Hina Tachibana who is their navigator loli! I'm already digging this girl group !

Eyecatch of Kyouka working out in exercise clothes! And it also indicates that Kyouka works doubly hard to make sure she is in peak condition so she can contribute because her Peach ability is unconventional and she's always been judged lesser for it. But she just needed the right person (and the right steed) to use it on .

Another little brother about to lose his big sister? Not on Yuuki's watch! And with Kyouka's Slave ability activated on him, he transforms into a powerful beast that perfectly matches Kyouka's skill and makes mincemeat of Shuuki .

I do love how Kyouka made sure the little girl didn't get to see the lewdness on display .

If the idea of making a difference isn't enough to entice Yuuki to become Kyouka's slave for good, the fact that her ability gives her this insatiable need to reward her slaves is an even better incentive. Especially when it means her kissing Yuuki and eventually pressing her body against him and her tongue down his throat. And depending on if he does even better, he might get even MORE reward (also Kyouka turning bashful was quite cute) .

Oh look, you have your classic Harem setup with the male caretaker at an inn with a quirky cast of girls! You've got the proper girl who is uncomfortable around guys! You've got the outgoing girl who is all in on finally getting to interact with a guy! And you've got the loli Senpai who outranks you at 11-year old! These girls are definitely going to be keeping Yuuki busy .

A Maaya Uchida ED! And I'm going to assume that the short-haired blonde girl is going to be pretty relevant because she basically dominates the ED and leads it off with her squad, though we do get shots with all the girls seemingly hanging out with Yuuki...and this blonde definitely seems pretty forward with him .

[magnuskn]

Well, this is fun, but so, so stupid.

[KitsuKyouno]

Is a small thing but is a relieve that most of the character are proper adults here

[Tenzen12]

Decent first episode, nothing special though, BUUUUT ending almost completely dedicated to Tenka? Seems like people behind this anime know their stuff

[Huh...?]

From what i get, they added some Anime exclusive stuff (like introducing the other girls during the chase and fight) and included a part of the WJ Special Interlude from Manga Vol.4, which was also slightly modified.

They even skipped the part where MC sees his athletic classmate managing to get a girlfriend (seems like girl's have much higher demand and standards in this world, especially if they have Peaches powers), which is followed by his comment on how a guy being good at housework isn't popular.

[grecefar]

tongue kiss and panty shot without white light?, second uncensored anime of the season?, it's the ecchi coming back?

the chapter got good after his transformation and it's nice that he is powerful already, at least for now.

[Kanon]

It sounded like it was the first time Kyouka used her power on a man. While the dude made a powerful slave, I would have tried looking for alternatives if I were her. She might find someone a lot stronger. But of course she also runs the risk of having to give some super nasty reward, so I can understand sticking with the guy who is reasonably powerful, not too demanding when it comes to rewards, and easy to push around.

Seems like it will be my guilty pleasure of the season. I'm not expecting a good story or anything of the sort.

Don't forget that we also need to have a generic self insert protagonist for the inevitable harem hijinks.

I read the manga for a bit and thought it was bland but had to check out the animated ecchi, though I'm still curious what Shueisha will actually give us before BDs. This will be kinda tame compared to Mahoako/Gushing regardless.

To be fair, even if there are men who may be stronger slaves, it doesn't mean they would perform well under pressure or be willing risk their lives to help others. Yuki proved himself on both fronts so it would be waste let him go hoping to find jackpot (which means tens maybe even hundreds candidates and she would have to provide rewards go every single of them).

Yuki being easy to push around probably indeed helps a lot too.

[Alchemist007]

Might give it a couple eps. Depends on the ratio of fighting to dumb harem stuff.
