BBFC Passed Anime Updates

We are certainly getting most of them (Bocchi The Rock being the glaring hole).

That said, there's a lof of stuff they don't seem to be putting to disc. A cynical person would say they are only putting the mid and lower tier shows to disc to try and recoup some costs, and keeping the shows that people really want to see only on the subscription service.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Season 1
 
The Slime Tensei movie has just popped back up on the BBFC website again with the same 15s rating. I'm not sure what this is for as it is currently only showing the classification information from its cinema run last year and not an additional entry for home release.

I assume it's for a home release with the new classification erroneously omitted.

A new section on the classification has now appeared rating bonus matererial for home video use. The main classification is still only for cinema use.
 
I don't know wtf is going on here but both the tv series and movie for The Quintessential Quintuplets has been rated by the BBFC 2 ratings lower for VOD on Netflix than the home video releases.

Seasons 1 & 2 are both PG instead of 15s and the movie is U instead of 12s

This is not the first instance of a series or movie receiving a different rating for Netflix but it is very unusual for it to change by 2 ratings, tbh I don't know how the hell the movie got a U rating.

U for Quints is crazy.
 
The Netflix ratings are all done through an automated algorithm (source), so presumably some sort of survey is done / maybe the script is fed in and it spits out those ratings?

Does make you wonder though as it's sort of unfair on the home video folks who have to pay and jump through all sort of hoops to get a rating for a much lower volume of physical media viewers. You'd think the human-reviewed ratings would supersede any algorithm-made ones, so I imagine if someone bothered to write to the board to complain they'd probably make Netflix fix it.
