In some episode shorts they retract some parts, while i can understand if they
infringe on other ip they retract part of the title for a Dragon Quest Game
however the anime is a collaborative work with Square Enix so it doesn't make
sense as to why they would retract it

also, in the short where Motoharu is killing bugs they're blurred out but in
the extra episode their not

so why are some stuff censored/retracted when there really isn't any reason
for it

Why are there censored/retracted art when there is no problem


I think the Dragon Quest thing was just a joke, supposed to look like any
other anime using a protected name or trademark the anime is not licensed to
use (even if it wouldn't cause problems, like in this case).

And the bugs were blurred out to let the viewers imagine for themselves how
scary or disgusting they are, only giving the basic shape, color and such.
This is a commonly used scare tactic in horror games and movies (though not
necessarily pixellation, but some other blurring technique).
