Koby Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 We did have to make some edits for Dance in the Vampire Bund. Here is our official statement regarding the matter:“FUNimation Entertainment is known for releasing the titles we license in their original, uncut form, as their creators intended. However, after viewing the unedited as well as the Japanese broadcast edit of the series “Dance in the Vampire Bund,” we have determined the series contains controversial elements which, when taken out of context, could be objectionable to some audiences.With this in mind and with approval of the licensor, we will edit select scenes from the series in streaming and home entertainment release. These are scenes which are inappropriate for U.S. viewing and are not essential to the storyline.“Dance in the Vampire Bund” is a complex and dark drama cited by press and fans as one of the best anime series out of Japan this season. Its strong story is what brought the series to our attention and why we are bringing it to the U.S.”All I can say is if you didn't see this coming a mile away then your an ignorant fool. Dance in the Vampire Bund contains what could only be seen as Child Porn in the US, and they have already been sending people to prison for possessing manga with less child porn than Dance in the Vampire Bund contains.Now some will argue, she's a vampire so she isn't really that age, etc.. But the laws don't care about what her age is in the series, they just care what it looks like.-------------------------------------------So express your thoughts on this?

Clockwork Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Why don't they just put on the rating 'abstract', 'offensive' or 'suggestive' scenes? An anime called Shuffle! had some suggestive and partial nudity scenes yet those parts weren't censored or anything and got away with a mature rating.

idl12 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well, honestly, it makes sense in my opinion, I'm all for unedited sexual content/sweet fanservice and you know I am(drools momentarily) ahem.., but if it's against the laws then theirs nothing they can really do, guess we can just hope that a subgroup does the japanese dvd releases or something, not that loli really appeals to me but..you know. and honestly I don't think it could be in better hands, since I doubt Funimation will do any unnecessary editing.

† The Joker Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 yeah... I could see this coming the moment i heard the anime was being made. Still, funimation don't really have much of a choice, there damned if they do by the fans and damned if they don't by everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idl12 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well if they're releasing it unedited then that's great to, I support them either way, just hope there's no legal issues here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
