Censorship[]
The first episode was pulled from distribution on November 2015 due to copyright concerns. The third episode had its scenes reanimated and altered for future reruns due to the episode having parodies of both the Saw film series and the Anpanman anime. According to Yūichi Takahashi, the head of TV Tokyo (the show's distributor), the Anpanman parody was disrespectful to said show's target audience.
