BBFC Passed Anime Updates

There's really nothing in there to warrant a severe classification except a little innocent fanservice.

I don't think the BBFC would consider this type of fanservice acceptable for a PG certificate.

In Australia (the release is now out of print), it was rated an M by the ACB, due to sexual references and themes (this was noted on the trailer for the show included in the Hanabee/MVM Toradora Blu-ray).

And while not officially rated, NIS America self-rated the series 13+, which, to be fair, isn't that far off from the BBFC rating it a 12.

I own the premium NIS release and I never even looked at the age rating, just enjoyed the show. LOL

Regardless of age rating, I plan on getting MVM's release later down the line. Funnily enough, I was close to importing NIS America's Standard Edition release not long ago until MVM announced Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl as one of their upcoming releases, so I decided I'm going local for this one.

I'll have to start watching Rise Of The Shield Hero which I very recently acquired and see how much racy stuff it has-from what I've seen the females are pretty much modestly attired compared to other isekai series.

Probably two very silly questions from someone that knows very little about how the BBFC works:
#1 - why would Manga pay to have Prison School certified again or is that something mandatory for every release?
#2 - why does the Manga release list 12 eps instead of 13? (but has the same run time...)

I have no clue, maybe they thought it could get a lower rating lol. That means they'll likely re-rate DxD BorN (lol imagine if it goes up to an 18).
