In a bold move for anime enthusiasts worldwide, OceanVeil has announced that it will exclusively stream two versions of the highly anticipated Nukitashi The Animation starting July 18, 2025. The announcement confirms that both the Seiran Island Version and the Fully Regulated Version will be available uncut, uncensored, and unedited for global audiences, marking a significant moment for fans of boundary-pushing anime adaptations. This streaming release coincides with the anime’s television premiere in Japan, setting the stage for a provocative and unfiltered viewing experience.
Nukitashi The Animation, produced by Studio Passione, will debut on Japanese television through AT-X on July 18 at 26:05 JST (effectively July 19 at 2:05 a.m.), with additional broadcasts on BS11, Gifu Broadcasting, KBS Kyoto, and Mie TV. The anime will be presented in three distinct versions tailored to different platforms and censorship requirements. OceanVeil’s streaming service, however, will focus on delivering the two most unrestrained editions to international viewers. The “Seiran Island Version” promises the least regulated content, offering the closest experience to the original adult visual novel’s explicit tone. Meanwhile, the “Fully Regulated Version” tones down certain elements to comply with broader broadcast standards but retains the core narrative and humor.
OceanVeil’s decision to stream both versions uncensored globally reflects its commitment to preserving the anime’s provocative essence. The platform, launched in collaboration with WWWave’s Deregulation animation label, aims to cater to fans seeking unfiltered content while providing options for varied viewing environments. The anime will be available in English, ensuring accessibility for a wide audience. Additionally, Nukitashi The Animation is slated for a Blu-ray Disc release, with the “Seiran Island Version” included, starting November 26, 2025, in Japan.
Here's the key visual for Nukitashi anime:
Directed by Nobuyoshi Nagayama, known for works like Vampire Dormitory and Happy Sugar Life, Nukitashi The Animation boasts a talented creative team. Kenta Ihara, who has worked on Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- and Mieruko-chan, handles series composition and scriptwriting, with supervision from Qruppo’s original scenario writers, Naoto Kurahone and Yū Kamichika. Character designs by Kumata bring the vibrant and eclectic cast to life, while the music, composed by Hakushaku Ebikare, Sasa Ikeki, Umigame, and Kashiko, enhances the anime’s satirical and chaotic atmosphere. Hamedori-kun from Qruppo serves as the general supervisor, ensuring fidelity to the source material.
The series is listed for 11 episodes, supplemented by four short OVAs, promising a comprehensive adaptation of the visual novel’s narrative. An advance screening of the first three episodes took place on June 22, 2025, at Cinem@rt Shinjuku in Tokyo, generating buzz among attendees for its bold visuals and irreverent humor.
What is Nukitashi About?
Nukitashi, short for Nuki-Gee Mitai na Shima ni Sunderu Hinnyū (Watashi) wa Dō Surya Ii Desuka? (translated as What’s a Flat-Chested Girl Like Me to Do on an Island Straight Out of a Porn Game?), is an adult visual novel developed by Qruppo, first released in 2018. Set on the fictional Seiran Island, the story unfolds in a dystopian paradise governed by the “Perverted Sex Law,” a draconian regulation that mandates public sexual activity among residents to deter emigration and boost tourism. Those who resist face severe punishment, creating a surreal and oppressive environment.
The narrative follows Junnosuke Tachibana, a virgin protagonist with a traumatic past, who leads the secret resistance group No Love No Sex (NLNS) to dismantle the island’s perverse laws. Joined by his sister Asane, who harbors an intense affection for him, and a diverse team including Nanase Katagiri, Hinami Watarai, and Misaki Hotori—a girl grappling with body image issues—Junnosuke navigates a chaotic world of satire, comedy, and mature themes. Their mission is further complicated by a mysterious benefactor who tasks them with protecting a girl pivotal to their rebellion, all while evading the watchful eyes of the island’s enforcers, the SHO.
The visual novel gained acclaim for its blend of humor, social critique, and character-driven storytelling, earning awards like Best Script and Best New Brand at the 2018 Moe Game Awards. Its success spawned a sequel, Nukitashi 2, in 2019, and a manga adaptation by Mameojitan, serialized from 2020 to 2023. Shiravune’s English localization in 2023 introduced the game to a global audience via platforms like Johren and Steam, cementing its cult status.
OceanVeil’s streaming of Nukitashi The Animation represents a daring step in delivering niche, adult-oriented anime to international fans without compromise. By offering both the “Seiran Island Version” and “Fully Regulated Version,” the platform caters to diverse preferences while staying true to the source material’s audacious spirit. As the July 18 premiere approaches, Nukitashi The Animation is poised to captivate audiences with its irreverent take on societal norms, vibrant animation, and unapologetic storytelling.
