==== Nudity ====
[[File:Censorship in anime.jpg|thumb|Censorship with artificial light rays is one common method to hide some elements in [[anime]] television series. The degree of censorship can vary widely across television stations, even among those broadcasting the series at the same time.]]

Levels of nudity vary strongly between works, depending on the intended audience and the preferences of the authors. For example, in some cases, though the breasts are shown on the screen, nipples and genitals are obscured by props, clothing, or effects. This kind of censorship was typical for [[Lala Satalin Deviluke]] in ''[[To Love Ru]]'', Blair in ''[[Soul Eater (manga)|Soul Eater]]'' and [[Asuka Langley Soryu]] from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Conversely, in ''[[Ladies versus Butlers!]]'' and other such anime, the nipples are clearly visible through clothing, no matter how thick it is. In any case [[nosebleed]]s as a comedic [[Trope (literature)|trope]] are a typical masculine reaction to female nudity or semi-nudity inasmuch as they represent one extremely exaggerated component of [[sexual arousal]] – increased [[blood pressure]].
