MangaUK confirm Strike witches uncut

I'd say that's not far off the mark Reaper. Governments don't like being in the wrong, so changing the law to make sure they're always in the right is a nice easy fix. Look at the Patriot Act / Prevention of Terrorism Act.

The real reason, of course, is that it's illegal because the people in power simply don't like it, the same as most other laws.

Ah yes all the cases that fell to bits when the CPS presented the evidence! Its GRRREAT!

It took 7 years for someone to be caught by the USA's PROTECT act so we have a while to go.
 
The TV edit of Seikon no Qwaser would get through, I guess.

Of course this must be one of the most heavily edited TV shows I can remember, and is basically unwatchable with the plot (which is actually entertaining) being rendered nonsensical-bordering-on-nonexistant, but still.

Sekirei got a 15 uncut which makes sense.

Edit: Or not, I forgot there was full on boob in episode one.

boobs=15 normaly (there's a few 12's with them)

Nudity doesn't directly affect cert, the context it's in does.

Aye, hence why The Simpsons Movie was still a PG despite showing Bart's peen. But hey, it wasn't very detailed anyway xD

In fact, didn't the BBFC have to defend that? Or has the heat melted my brain?

Does someone wanna explain this "context" thing to me? I mean, I can understand that if an episode of Barney the Dinosaur was suddenly interrupted with a shot of a topless woman on a trampoline that would be "out of context nudity" but in a DVD which has a BBFC sticker saying "contains nudity" on the back should you not, y'know, expect there to be a certain amount of nudity?

Or does it have to have some kind of count down? "Warning! Warning! Breasts appearing in five, four..."

I think it's referring to a sexual context.

For example, a pair of tits are fine, but someone fapping isn't.
 
Also, there's context. Like, a documentary about a nudest colony, compared to a porn film. Basically, whether or not the scene was intended to, or can be seen as, sexually based rather than simple nudity.

Not false advertising until there actualy is none whatsoever.
Ther isn't some European directive on minimum amont of skin that must be shown to be advertised as soft porn.
Certs (U, PG or 12) given for swearing can be like that.

Context
Ask yourself the question:
Why is the scene there in the first place?

Do this for every single scene that contains anything posibly sexual or violent, down to realy trivial things like a peck on the cheek.

Is it safe to copy also matters for the lower certs.

Sorry to bring this up again now, but I've been going over that reply in my mind for days trying to work out if there was anything I could say in reply and I still can't understand what you were trying to say there.

What's not(?) false advertising until(?) there is none of what? Cert's given for swearing are like pornography with no nudity?

Analogue to sausage, pork sausage etc. under UK labeling law.

A PG certificate for swearing will have less swearing than a 12 for swearing.

Yes... I know that. I still don't get what there doesn't have to be any of for something not to be false adv... Oh forget it.

My point was that no matter how out of context the nudity is, if it says "contains nudity" on the back that should be enough for a prospective purchaser to know they are going to see nudity. Why should the context matter if the rating has forbidden it to children anyway? The BBFC are within their rights to refuse something a U or a PG if it has nudity. That makes sense under their guidelines. If it has a higher rating (as per the dumb Code Geass & Paranoia Agent cuts) and their argument is that it could be impressionable to children, aren't they basically admitting their own ineffectiveness?
