Studio Trigger and A-1 Pictures' new anime project this season, DARLING in the FRANXX, is garnering a lot of attention from fans and critics alike. But a lot of that attention is geared toward its suggestive situations.
Those suggestive situations have proved to be too tough for China, as they have banned the show from one streaming site along with another series, Slow Start.
According to a posting on Chinese social media (as spotted on Reddit), DARLING in the FRANXX and Slow Start have been removed from their streaming sites. Although there is no concrete detail given as to why, but it is inferred (given evidence from Chinese users on Reddit) that it was removed for its suggestive content.
This also makes sense considering the revelation in a recent episode that in order to pilot the series' titular Franxx mechs, a boy must grab his female partner's rear end to use the controls.
As for Slow Start's banned status, the premise of the series doesn't allude to any suggestive things (as the main character fails an exam due to mumps and ends up making friends with girls a year younger while hiding her age), the girls do end up in suggestive situations that could be deemed as something worth banning.
If you're interested in the series, it's currently streaming on both Crunchyrolland FunimationNOW.
