Censorship

When i watch an anime, i am not looking for porn. However, what drives me crazy is censorship of anime. I understand that in simulcast situations it airs censored, and so thats our only option but the reason for this post is to ask about funimation membership.

I currently have subscriptions with Crunchyroll and Hulu and wanted to determine if purchasing a Funimation membership would get me access to the uncensored versions of shows. I honestly cannot watch Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero on Hulu, and if necessary will purchase a membership here if it will let me see the creators intended animation.

Please let me know,

X

I doubt it. Just wait for DVDs (maybe?).

Re: Censorship

As far as simulcasts go, no. A membership won't get you uncensored content. Part of getting Japanese viewers to pay outrageous BD prices is to have uncensored content as a disc exclusive. So there's almost no chance the producers will release the uncensored version before every volume of the Japanese version has been released.

Re: Censorship

There are times when Funi subcriber has access to the uncensored ver. But in Simulcasts the don't provide this. Not until the eventaul home release comes about that we "might" have access to it. Censoring sucks yeah, but realy the streaming is really a way to get you hooked on the show so you decied to get the produck later to get the show in its origanl goodness.

Re: Censorship

Your first and second sentences pretty much contradict each other. Also, if it bothers you that much then what's the point in watching it when you know it's censored? Besides, it's a good anime, even if it does focus on the FS a little much. At least the censoring doesn't cover up the entire screen. That's when it bugs me.

Re: Censorship

Yeah, I actually watched this series in it's true colors.

I'm not saying WHERE else my likelihood of seeing the Second Season same way will not exist.
Just can't have that.

Anyways, This series is a FAN-SERVICE pleaser. It's almost it's only real purpose...well the only
real purpose that catches the "Fans" anyways. Let's just say in simple terms, everything is 100%
exposed to the point, I can't figure out why the didn't just go STRAIGHT OUT hentai! I mean, they really pushed it on the razor's edge!

Anyways, for those of you who DIDN'T like it, it was the censorship... trust me. it was.

As I read on Sankaku Complex, the BluRay promises to be even MORE on the Razor's edge with even more cut scenes that weren't included on the televised series.

By the way.
For those of you who LIKED this series,
there was a slightly similar series with a similar Protagonist back in 2005,

Deus Machina Demonbane

I think if FUNimation does release this series (and I really hope they do)
that they'll consider going back for Demonbane too, because there was a lot of fun situations in that one too (then again no where NEAR as intense and as much.)

Sorry. Should have quoted. I meant the initial post for the thread, not yours.
