Censorship

The TV airing of this episode added a lot of steam during Rea's shower scene making her buttocks barely visible. The shot of her stripping before getting into the ofuro has a stack of green towels added in front of the camera to also cover the view of her butt.

Manga Differences

Main article: Sankarea/Chapter 04

Main article: Sankarea/Chapter 05

This episode adapts the bathing scenes of two separate chapters of the Sankarea manga which are chapter 4 and chapter 5 but the anime adapted the two scenes in the wrong order. Dan'ichirou's Clawfoot Bathtub scene which we see first in the anime was actually from chapter 5 while Rea's Shower scene that happens later in the episode is from chapter 4. In the manga, Dan'ichirou's clawfoot tub is a Slipper Bathtub while it is just a normal clawfoot in the anime. In the manga, his bathroom is an Ofuro with a Bath Stool in it which we don't see in the anime.
