Or anything, really.
This method ranks the lowest in [[Censorship Tropes|the sliding scale of censorship subtleties]]—it doesn't attempt to shoehorn elements in to somehow obscure the sight like the [[Censor Steam]], [[Censor Shadow]], or [[Censor Suds]]; nor does it try to cover these parts with meta visual elements like [[Censor Bar
It should go without saying that this is almost always [[Played for Laughs]], and particularly common in [[Anime]]. Expect these things to [[Too Hot for TV|disappear when the DVD version comes out]]. See also [[Scenery Censor]].

* ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'': "HAPPY?"
* ''[[Inukami!]]'' applies most of its censoring of male genitals (usually Keita) in the form of blue elephants on parade. Said elephants are usually right around the crotch. There's a lot of manservice in ''Inukami''.

We'd like to apologize for that."
== [[Nonfiction Series]] ==
* ''[[X
