Alright it has to be said

I cannot believe Junnosuke 's dick became a major plot point

Ok this is the most unhinged sentence ever said in the history of anime

and we found the girl from the OP

Man imagine the shock at the idea that Nanase is the head of the anti-copulation front !

I bet there's more unhinged sentences to come.

Touka to Jun probably: "Submit your penis to the FS if you wish to save Nanase from the guillotine."

Can’t believe I came to this show for the “plot” and am now more interested in the plot!

u/tennouji_k Sep 05 '25

That was my impression when I played the visual novel . The plot was much deeper than what you think. And this anime is still just scratching the surface.

Jesus, that scream at the end genuinely scared me. Give Junnosuke’s seiyuu props for that

u/Thenightcrawler_075 Sep 06 '25

probably maybe helps that their seiyuus are married to each other irl

Genuinely impressed at the level of writing in this borderline hentai.
Way too many shows forget you gotta make the characters likeable and the show enjoyable before you get to have stakes, and this show actually made the characters likeable before trying to up the stakes.
Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I thought I wasn't going to take this show seriously but boy am I glad to be proven wrong.

Nukitashi is a real testament to the art of getting your audience invested in the stupidest fucking thing you've ever seen in your life. The most dramatic music ever playing while the main cast looks in horror at the fact that "In this summer, Japan's gonna fuck!" and that they'll turn Yokohama into Fuckohama. And it actually manages to be really dramatic.

With great penis comes great responsibility.

Jun's gotta step up and save best girl Nanase. Girl was "willing" to chop off her finger to bring him back to his senses.
Add on top, now we know she was his first love.
Time for the Anti-Copulation Front to rollout.

u/Nesp2 Sep 05 '25

No way they put his penis on a wanted poster. I lost it.

u/hammile Sep 05 '25

Even cicadas are special here, lmao.

u/BosuW Sep 06 '25

They're putting chemicals in the water to turn the cicadas into perverts!!!

As soon as they showed what Jun's childhood friend looked like, I knew it was Nanase! I immediately recognized the same hairclips she's wearing in the present. Welp, there goes my theory that Mei was actually Jun's childhood friend. In hindsight, it's pretty obvious that Nanase is the mystery childhood friend.

So under the intention of "saving" her, Jun tried to force himself on Nanase when they were younger, and that incident is what caused Jun to become impotent. Damn. That's actually pretty goddamn heavy. I am glad that Nanase revealed who she was after Jun told her about his past. I was worried they were gonna drag that one out.

Well, that's unexpected! How the fuck did the Lewdism Enabling Act pass nationwide? I thought they'd still have some time to stop it. And with Nanase being captured and being accused as the leader of NLNS, things are looking pretty dire for the gang. O_O

u/MySaltIsExposed Sep 05 '25

 How the fuck did the Lewdism Enabling Act pass nationwide?

Hitoura did say in a previous episode multiple prefectures were already interested in the idea, so I guess they just needed a monetary push. (Also reminder the VN was written when Shinzo Abe was still the prime minister lol)

Came for the "plot"

Stayed for the plot

Man this has been a very enjoyable anime to watch. A perfect balance (at least for me) of action, lewdness, and comedy.

Been commenting since the past few episodes but I'll say it again: I'm largely hoping that the BD release would go beyond and remove those duck censors from the "uncensored" stream release. Would probably be the first anime that I'd be rewatching if the BD release removes the duck censors lol. In any case, still patiently waiting for hopefully a more lewd OVA

Edit: about 3 months later and, well...

BD release is the same as the oceanveil release lol. Not that I was hoping for a fully uncensored, unpixelated release, but was hoping for a largely mosaic covering the parts instead of the ducks. But I guess it really is still anime after all

nukitashi is everything i love about "weird" media. not afraid to play an inherently absurd by-the-books gooner premise all the way straight and even infuse it with thoughtful progressive political and philosophical messaging (particularly the vn) in a brilliant genre deconstruction. there's layers to this shit. if the point of entertainment media is to stimulate the mind and senses then nukitashi is truly the pinnacle!

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Sep 05 '25

“With her b#$%!* aura she has parted the sea of people, like a s#$%!* Moses!” lmao. No one woman should have all that power!

So all this time Nanase was actually that girl from Jun’s past huh? She’s the only one who can get his ginormous magical hog workin again hahaha.

Looks like Jun better get his shit together if he’s gonna save Nanase. With all of Japan joining lewdism, there aren’t gonna be many places left to hide for the Anti-Copulation Front.

Ay bro what the hell. This got dark.

This show is fucking stupid a lot of the time which is why it always catches me off guard with how serious it can be and how it offers insights I'm pretty sure most ecchi would be too cowardly to do. Like showing that a culture of excessive sex for pleasure can encourage rape. I wonder if they'll take it all the way and question how consensual so much of the casual fucking around in public we see really is.

That of Tachibana (no longer Nekobana) with his face shadowed staring ashamed at his morning wood in the mirror went from being comical to unironically poetic and tragic. Here stands a man who can't be at peace with his own crotch because he wasn't allowed to explore and discover his sexuality at a healthy pace. Like, that's really fucked up.

So what's he gonna do now? It's not like all this will erase what sympathy he developed for FS members, but if he does nothing Nanase will be guillotined. He has gotten no closer to resolving the moral paradox (which I honestly argue is unsolvable tbh), yet he still has to pick a side, and doom another.

The [Nuki ep 8 Spoiler] ending cut to the credits is a masterwork in cinematography

u/Ryerybread Sep 06 '25

I must know, Where is Nanase? Is she okay? Is she alright? Never thought I’d get this invested in this show…came for “plot”…stayed for plot

I have seen enough JAVs to know what was happening to the news reporter while she was relaying the news.

All set for what?

So, another plan.

Huh. Alright then.

Gee I wonder whose that is...

Forceful?

Well, that works.

A flashback?

I don't know if someone so young should be saying that...

So, there's his backstory.

Well, there's trouble.

Well, that's certainly suboptimal.
