The use of strategically placed steam or smoke to censor the "naughty bits". Used most often in [[Anime]], but also in [[Western Animation]]. Its use in [[Live Action TV|Live Action]] is rarer, as real smoke is hard to control, and is often transparent. Most recently,
In recent years, many shows are marketed with explicit intent to be released on DVD, and for anime one of the best incentives to encourage people to buy is, literally, [[Fan Service]]. However, many broadcast networks have particular policies against sexually explicit content (as opposed to direct sale via DVDs, which has none).
Line 34:
* In the ''[[Blue Drop]]'' anime, the scene between Mari and Hagino in the pool gets obscured by immense air bubbles right at the moment {{spoiler|when the girls declare their love and kiss}}, in a degree of prudishness that is quite removed from the [[Hentai|straightforward nature]] of the original manga.
* Used fairly often in ''[[To Love Ru]]'' whenever any of the cast are naked. Lala also uses her tail for this purpose if no steam is convenient.
* ''[[Digimon Savers]]'': When [[Big Bad|Kurata]] is upgrading the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], they're in [[People Jars|tubes]] half-full of
* In ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'', while fan-favorite Atobe Keigo takes a shower.
* Oddly present during Subaru and Teana's [[Shower Scene]] in the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' [[Comic Book Adaptation|supplementary manga set before the third season]]. Oddly, because the manga isn't shy about displaying the characters in all their [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|undetailed glory]].
Line 72:
* The Oracle in ''[[300]]''. Not entirely, but for the most part.
* ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows]] Part 1'': Ron's vision of {{spoiler|Locket! Harry and Hermione making out while naked}} Definitely helped it get a PG-13 rating.
* An (interrupted) almost-sex scene in the B-picture [[Hell Comes To Frogtown]] uses the shadow of the the female character's own leg as her
Line 82:
* The end of the first season of the 2000s ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' has a mob of identical Cylon women nude save for unexplained black censor steam.
** Yes, I believe that's known as a shadow.
* ''[[Star Trek]]'''s Duras sisters. Just as
* ''[[Highlander the Series]]''' first episode, Tessa's shower scene. Interestingly, the amount of censor steam had to be upped for the US version-the amount in the original wasn't enough to get past US censors.
Line 97:
* Used in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' with Chadarnook, one of the bosses.
** And in the [[PlayStation]] port of ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' for Magissa; in the original, her "armour" covers her belly ''and nothing else''.
* When ''[[Bayonetta]]'' summons a demon, it is formed from her clothes, but a trail of
* Used to obscure some showering co-eds in the second installment of ''[[The Spellcasting Series]]''.
* The [[Shower Scene]] from ''[[Cosmic Fantasy]] 2'' has this in all versions except the ''Cosmic Fantasy Visual Collection''.
Line 111:
== Western Animation ==
* A ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' featured an Animated Segment called "Full Frontal Nudity", in which a man trying to watch a naughty film is prevented from seeing any "naughty bits" by increasingly bizarre
* In ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', along with [[Hand or Object Underwear|using his hands to cover his you-know-what]], steam covers Danny's naughty zone when he's taking a shower (and exposed to the public).
* The heroine "Fire" in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', while using her power, is essentially naked, except for strategically placed wisps of green flame.
