The BBFC change their guidelines... might have an effect on some anime.

Stricter age ratings for film rape scenes

No sexual violence for under 15 year-olds. I wonder if every Carry On where Sid James slaps Barbara Windsor on the **** will have to be re-rated.

Incidentally, the BBFC also wants to own the streaming sphere.

Goblin slayer won't come out here then, all thanks to like 2 episodes with a few seconds each.

And perfect blue no!

They're not banning or cutting, just making sure anything that contravenes their guidelines is rated 15 or above. I wonder if Back to the Future will have to be up-rated, the bit near the end with Biff and Lorraine before George punches Biff out.

I was thinking of that scene too, seeing BTTF go from a PG to a 12/15 would be strange.

I think it’s right. Sexual assault is bad and I know SAO Alicisation will get a 18 instantly due to the scenes after too.

 

[HWR]

It makes sense, and they’re not asking for stuff to be cut and/or removed for once.

 

[TiagoCosta]

The moment stuff like Amagami is rated 15 I can't take ratings seriously.

 

[thedoctor2016]

We have had dodgy ratings, ngl some of monogatari decisions are weird

 

[Captaaainuniverse]

Well I don't know how much it actually changes. Most light stuff is a 15 and I just finished prison school last night, the usual echhi stuff, but a lot of it, no sex scenes, 18. Wouldn't change anything in cases like that

Star Wars was a U when I was a kid, now it's a 12.

Star Wars was a U when I was a kid, now it's a 12.

All three of the original trilogy films are rated U according to the BBFC website...

I was going off this Amazon Link

I was going off this Amazon Link

That's the complete Saga, which includes Revenge of the Sith which is a 12.

That's the complete Saga, which includes Revenge of the Sith which is a 12.

And the bonus discs are rated 12 too.

 

[thedoctor2016]

I much prefer the original complete saga image of luke and anakin but ofc it’s no longer complete anyway

 

[HWR]

I refused to upgrade since the OG non-altered editions of IV-VI have been resigned to the bonus discs of those now OOP DVD releases.

 

[thedoctor2016]

They are gone forever these days, the BDs of the SEs do look good though.

 

[HWR]

Yeah my older brother owns them and they do look good, I can just do without a majority of George Luca’s tamperings.

I have those DVDs and the quality ain't the best, but still better than my VHS copies
I've also got the 'despecialized' versions in HD.

As do I, I’m happy to have them.
