Dance in the Vampire Bund passed uncut by BBFC.

[Silanda]

....in other words, "I swear officer, she told me she was 16..." :lol:

A legitimate defence.......

Seriously though, the situation with the BBFC does border on farce but their hands may be a little tied by idiotic legislation.

Legislation or not, anyone who chooses to pursue a career as a censor is a legitimate target for abuse in my opinion. "Hey, I know what I'll do with my life - Spend it limiting other people's freedom of expression!"

Given how the majority of the BBFC could be confused for Magret Thatcher, that doesn't come a surprise.

K. So, Battle Vixens gets cut and this doesn't? BBFC, girl, you crayzay.

hey im not complaining about this

I wasn't talking about you. Just saying it's a bit weird that they cut Battle Vixens, but a couple weeks later, they pass Dancy Vampire Buns with no cuts.

im just saying, im not complaining about no cuts

Unless they magically annulled that part of the licence deal, the only way Manga could get their hands on Bund is if they got BakaTest too. So ether they went out of their way to not get BakaTest or they're sitting on it.

Considering the (nearly non-existent) region locking on the US release of Dance in the Vampire Bund I find it highly likely that the UK license was a sublicense from Funi rather than a direct license. So it won't have been subject to the same restrictions.

I assume Funi's sat on the UK rights to BakaTest and Manga just doesn't want to be involved with it.

I think Funi have the UK rights, since it's available on YT for streaming to the UK.

That Manga tweet still isn't worded in such a way as to say "was submitted uncut" as well as "passed uncut".

Play says it's two discs, and the show only has 12 eps so I expect it was an error when he was typing ^^

Yeah, but it's so fun to nit-pick typos.

Also, uncut?! I don't know whether I should be praising the BBFC or hitting them.

first you hit them then............... you hit them again ............. again again again again ............ and one more for them to get the message

No, you want it to be uncut, remember?

 

[Vashdaman]

Bad call BBFC, bad calll.....

You give a good wholesome censoring to Battle Vixens and then you let this slip through the net! :evil:
I don't think they're hard line enough anymore, I should take over and become the sole authority on censorship of media in this country. You probably wouldn't get to watch much but at least I'd be consistent.....


Nah I'm only joking, I don't actually have any thoughts on this one way or the other, so lets not repeat the last censorship thread again lol.......unless of course you want me to get my bible out and starting getting righteous on ya'll again.

So they'll do that for Bund but when it comes to Dragonball, One Piece or anything that might not, say, utterly take a 2x4 to the reputation of the UK anime scene, they'll just spin on it?

They lucked into Naruto, didn't they?

Not only that, it has been explicitly confirmed by FUNi (for Bund). Manga can choose not to option shows, as they did with Sasami and Mamotte Lollipop for example.

 

[ConanThe3rd]

Manga can also choose to portray themselves as a bunch of incompetents and they're making good on that choice.
