From Nebs Blog –
Funi began streaming the series last weekend with the first two episodes, but it wasn’t until this weekend that we got to find out if they were truly going to stream the true unedited version.
Ray’s Take: Wow, they acquired DBZ and got themselves a solid fan boy audience for shonen action soap drama, and now they’re going to hook up another fan boy audience for loli service. You know, these guys know how to run the US anime business! Now if they can just fend off all the conservatives…
I can hear some people chanting once more: “Go to Loli T&A! Go to Loli T&A!” It will be followed by secondary fap I mean fire storms heard around the world!
UPDATE: Funimation took the nake episodes down and put up EDITED version.
UPDATE #2: Funimation promises uncensored DVD and any future Uncensored Download to Own versions.
Various fans have been twittering about this as well. Basically, the compelling fan argument I see is, “I want an authentic experience and I do not want to pay for regionalization or censorship.” Just as with Spice and Wolf‘s coverslip, people do not like being told that something they are interested in will be altered before they can get it.
@ moriteil – well, it’s the over protective law makers that wish they could accuse anyone not like them of thought crimes and lawsuits and all that nasty junk that’s preventing the uncensored version to stay on. In US, unless one got billions of dollars, a few congressmen on dog leash and a friend of rich
fuckersoil bastards, one won’t grow balls.Sounds interesting to me. I’ll have to do some research on this. Hmmm…*goes to investigate*. ^_^
@Mike C – damnit, Mike #2, I thought you only like real women with dem thingies! Now you’re even into lolis? XD
… it’s ok if your inti that kind of thing.
