UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

[Dai]

Given that this series is apparently available to stream via HiDive and buy through Amazon, what is the point of the BBFC in this instance? To protect the few hundred people who'd have bought the series on disc? Oh wait, an easily obtainable disc in English already exists

You can always count on the law to lag half a century behind what companies are doing. See also: the complete lack of customer rights for most digital products.

Was wondering about this as it had been a while since there was an update but Immoral Guild, according from MVM directly, has been cancelled, presumably due to extensive enough cuts being required by the BBFC.

Not seen it personally but I always wonder about how the BBFC work with regards to ecchi series? Seems like most of the time there released uncut fine but then you'll get something like this. Again I appreciate it might get a better understanding if I actually watched the series in question.

The female character's are not consenting to the attacks and as you can imagine from the voice acting, getting pleasure from it. That could be part of it.
Lots of boobs, although that's not always an issue.

I always hark back to Triage X which got an 18.
In the final episode or OVA, the female cast are topless in a hot spring. In the pop up info re each character one is clearly stated to be 14.

There is an episode (I think ep 8), where the molestee is being molested by two underage boys. That’s hard to justify under any ratings regime in the modern day.
