This and Sekirei, both very ecchi mangas (especially if you count the uncensored To-Love-Ru manga) were aired at times that the stations have become more and more conservative, despite the fact that anyone who has read either manga would say it should not be aired by stations that are conservative.

This amazes me, the stations keep getingt titles that are filled with fanservice, despite trying to keep and improve a "family friendly" image and slowly but surly decreasing the limits on the content they allow..

#3 on that list is plainly not uncensored. They did actually uncensor it, but then they went and re-censored it with a convenient sunbeam that wasn't there in the original.

Pathetic.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they're airbrushing a good chunk of the detail away before applying the new censorship because just the light beams and fog shouldn't be making it _this_ difficult to see anything.

Honestly, I have no problems with the TV censorship, provided it is properly restored for the DVDs.

However, these DVDs are clearly not uncensored, and as>>638001said, it appears they did create a fully uncensored version, then they went back and censored it.

I am guessing the reason behind this deals with making it more marketable, while still trying to say the DVDs had nipples, which is complete bullshit. The purpose of having censorship on the TV version is to be within the acceptable limits of the stations, or to increase the value of the DVDs, however there should be no fucking reason to not completely uncensor it to what is the norm for content and to fuck around with the fans.

This is clearly becoming more and more of a factor.

>it appears they did create a fully uncensored version, then they went back and censored it.

I'm not making a prediction--I have no idea what going they're thinking--but I wouldn't be surprised if they released a special, limited edition version where the re-censored scenes are un-re-censored.

Personally I am thinking that they saw where the manga originally was published, and they figured they could sell it better to parents for their children if they made it so the nipples were blurry, and yet they could still advertise it as "uncensored" to get the core audience to buy it.

That makes sense. The only version of the manga I've seen was the "uncensored" version. If there's an uncensored version, presumably there's a censored version as well that skews towards a younger audience. By partially censoring, they're trying to thread the needle.

It's a risky strategy. They could alienate one or both sides. I wonder how this is going over on 2ch.

Yea that does sound annoying. Would you mind posting where you downloaded this? I'm streaming episodes right now, but I would love to download this :)

Or, if you bought the download, could you re-upload to rapidshare, or a torrent? :)

it's just like in the usa. they make a big deal out of nudity (which never made any difference before) simply to crawl into the sack with hollywood (so they can both get us up the butt in tandem). then they claim that it's because of 'conservatism'. heilywood uses the same excuse for its 'ratings system'.
sadly the golden age of japanese animation is coming to an end. the days when japan made superior stuff to the us are gone. heilywood has used copyright enforcement to exert its unholy influence over all the earth and we can look forward to japanese animation becoming ever more and more like the tripe that is shoveled onto us in the usa over tv and cinema

Airs on TV censored -> People want uncensored so they buy the DVDs -> Company makes money

They do it just so they can make money. If you're gonna complain, don't complain about half-uncensoring it. Complain about the complete lack of creativity, artistic integrity and effort.

If you're looking for the DVD versions of the first two episodes of ToLove-Ru, there's a torrent here:

Or you can get it on IRC: #TV-Japan@irc.rizon.net

They're on the TV-Japan[More] bot.

are they advertising the DVD as uncensored?

Except those same kids got to see Kankon or whatever with no censoring. There's just a bunch of pantywaist faggots in the home video production market right now.

It's a fanservice manga done in the same style Akamatsu has coined. How uncensored could it be?

Can they truly claim it to be uncensored, as one of the earlier posts clearly showed, they added censorship lines after uncensoring, and with unnatural light and steam still in place for purposes of censoring, it is in no way uncensored.

I'm just wondering why they bother. Cut the bullshit and release the fanservice stuff like this direct-to-video, OVA style. To hell with a TV series.

Japan. The DVDs are already out, and they're only partially uncensored (which means that they're still partially censored).

The American release (if there is one) might not even use the half-uncensored version. They might go with the full-censored version. Or they might even butcher it to hell and air it on Fox.
