Does anyone remember this GIF? http://s1247.photobucket.com/user/O...lr/Kusuguttai/K posts/1129634849827o.gif.html
I don't know if anyone else has said this before, but I know what anime it's from. 'Maria Watches Over Us'. Sorry if it's already been stated or no one cares. I just remember a lot of people asking about it in the past.
Alright, thanks for the id. is the gif a remake of an actual scene?
You all remember the anime episode called Battle Girls where all three Girls were captured then tickled totured with two feathers off-screen, that their laughter in English dub was music to my ears if only they had them tickled on screen it would be better fan-service. I don't understand why they didn't show it on-screen.
They probably didn't show the tickling on screen to cut animation costs down a little if I could take a guess (that and its a really effective way to frustrate people with tickling fetishes if the animation studio wants to tease) which I find stupid because I agree, this would've been perfect fan service for that episode, and for anyone wondering it happens in episode 9 around the 5:58 mark.
Edit: Another possible reason they may not have shown it on screen could be because of time constraints, if this was a weekly series in Japan they might not have had enough time to animate the actual tickling so rather than delay the episoide they just switched to a shot offscrreen, that and this series was produced not long after the 2011 Tsunami/Earthquake so things might've been hectic at the studio because of the recovery effort, just a thought.
Hopefully they would make an Omake of that off-screen tickling scene, anime makers seemed to love Anime girls being tickled for something very sexy as them.
I'm not saying that you should give up hope, all I'm saying is the chances don't look too good, the first thing we need to figure out above all is whether or not the tickle scene was originally going to be on screen to begin with, and if it was why was it cut? And if it was originally going to be on screen TMS Entertainment and TV Tokyo could still release the series with an omake of the scene if they wanted to but we don't know if they would actually do so also when was the protagonist tickled?It really sucked that seeing girls in those sexy outfits we didn;t see the 3 girls getting tickled but that protagonist girl.
Hope we find more anime tickling scenes.
I don't see anything wrong with you saying whats on your mind, and if it contributes to the discussion in an effective way then your thoughts are welcome even more.I'm not sure if it's the best time for me to say this, but just in case:
Yeah a perfect example of this happening other than Battle Girls is that one tickle scene in The Real GhostBusters cartoon the same thing happened, the main characters prepare to tickle someone and it cuts off screen before the viewer can see what's happening.It's true that there are some scene that become off-screen and it does make some person either disappointed or feel that he/she need to question about it.
Well that's a good point but when you allude to something usually the viewer wants to see what actually happens, now if this anime was based off of a manga and the maga was lkike this I could understand them doing it like that, but since this anime wasn't based off a manga (its actually based off of a pachinko game series which is interesting IMO) the animation studio could've added what they were alluding to, which in this case is a tickle interrogation scene and could've done things differently but maybe that's just my opinion.But here's my opinion. Whenever someone does make certain scenes--Tickle scene or otherwise, and before you know it, it goes off screen, either when it's in the middle or at the end of the episode or movie, yes it's probably because they may have little time to make a scene of how it happen and things like that.
I think tickling in anime is becoming slightly more popular in Japanese culture so artists are staring to experiment more with it in their work I could be wrong though.Although I do need t ask this...why did they put tickling scene in the first place?
Maybe they do have the fetish and thought it was the right moment to use it (though I still think time constraints are the reason the tickling was off screen)Could it be because they MAY have a fetish and thought that it's a perfect time to put it up?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be a non-fetish event because I think almost everyone viewing the situation knows what the outcome will be when tickling is involved so the idea of it being a tactical outcome is highly unlikely (a more unheard of or niche torture method maybe but tickling is way too common with getting info).Or could it be because it's suppose to be a non-fetish event and choose to put it because they wanted to make it a funny scene or a tactical outcome that was probably meant to surprise the viewer.
I know what you mean but that's the problem, we don't know the person that made the series' point of view, this is why I suggested someone fluent in Japanese contact the people responsible for the anime and try to get some info about whether or not the scene was originally supposed to be the way it is or completely different so we can have a better understanding of their point of view, maybe you're right and the scene was intended to be this way but until we have a definite answer everything's possible.The best way to know it is to understand the person that made the series and direct it and look at their point of view. You know what I mean?
While I personally disagree with you about this, I completely understand where your coming from with your points and respect your opinion.I'm aware that there may be some agreement and disagreement, but hey...I'm just saying what I believe.

I think this is delving way the hell too far into an issue the people who produced the episode probably didn't even think about.
I do thank you for respecting my opinion. And believe me, whenever I see the scene that involve tickling, it always makes me wanna watch it again and again because depending on where the tickling and expressions takes place, I always enjoy it so much that I doubt I get enough of it. And yes it's a big possibility that there will be a fetish taking place. So yeah, it's understandable that you choose to disagree. I got nothing against that.
Not sure how to respond to that. :lol But the reason why I said all that was because I'm trying not to judge things simply by looking on what happened. If I did, then I doubt that it would be fair. ^^;
Maybe we are over analyzing this, but since there's a tickle scene later in the episode around the 9:58 mark it does beg the question why was one tickle scene un-animated while the other one was animated?I think this is delving way the hell too far into an issue the people who produced the episode probably didn't even think about.
Didn't I bring this possibility up on the previous page?Maybe they were cutting costs where they could.

In any case I hope we can get some answers regarding this, and if the scene was originally meant to be in the episode I hope the company makes and releases an Omake for it because I'd like to see what happens.
Well to make a long story short on page 359 Ticklegirl asked about why the first tickle scene wasn't on screen, after watching the scene myself I decided to give my opinion which I'm going to quote here:I wouldn't know what possibilities you mentioned on any page.

Maybe we'll find out soon enough.I think you're over analyzing it or trying to find something that simply isn't there.
Well I did bring up the possibility that the studio could've added some footage to the episode for it's home release but I don't know if that actually happened.If the scene was animated at some point I'm pretty sure they would have released it by now. I mean look at the beach episode of 'A Certain Scientific Railgun' they added about 6/7 minutes to that episode with its DVD release, there was a small tickle scene in there, but it wasn't shown.
Well the 2nd one was more of a revenge tickle scene whereas the first one was an interrogation, so of course the 2nd tickle scene isn't going to be a game changing scene.The second tickle scene wasn't very good either. It wasn't as if the girl was really struggling to escape, and they were only tickling her sides so it's not like we got any 'game changing' tickle scenes. Just an average one we've seen many times in the past.
Well until someone tries to contact them and ask we'll never know if they'd say anything about it.I don't know what these discussions are going to bring. Regardless of our theories, unless the company specifically comes out and talks about it (which I doubt they ever will) we'll never know. Or we'll never except the obvious.
