Urotsukidoji IV: Infernal Road even had two of the three episodes produced be given refused classifications, leaving the third and final episode on the disc. The release was so successful that distributor Revelation Films brought over the sequels which also got butchered to death. It is kind of a shame in a sense, as Urotsukidoji is one of the few hentai titles to actually have вЂstoryвЂ™ and not just вЂplotвЂ™ in the same place.ДЄt least 2 minutes 12 seconds were cut from the first film and 3 minutes 12 seconds were cut for the second film. Both films were notoriously edited by the BBFC because of the amount of sex thatвЂ™s featured throughout (it is an erotic hentai after all).

For the UK it was handled by distributor Manga Entertainment and they brought over the two compilation films of Legend of the Overfiend and Legend of the Demon Womb in one release. Based on the manga written by Toshio Maeda in 1986, Urotsukidoji became a cult classic among anime fans throughout the community. Well-known as one of the biggest and most successful hentai titles released to date, Urotsukidoji gained notorious reception thanks to the publicity it had received by the press and the ratings board. Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise is a perfect example of this, where they removed a scene to lower the rating from a 15 to a PG (and the filmвЂ™s latest re-release from Anime Ltd does bring back the scene with a chapter option to skip it entirely). Some titles did receive cuts but they were under the request of the distributor. Some of the titles IвЂ™ll be mentioning are also considered Not Safe For Work so I recommend reading this in your own free-time and not in a public place like work. Some of the cuts are rather short, but for others it can be as long as a couple minutes or more.ДЄlso please be advised that virtually every single title on this list is rated 18 and over by the BBFC and is not suitable for a younger audience. YouвЂ™ll notice a trend for some of these titles and it might even fit your horror mood. Here are a list of anime that were no doubt affected by the BBFC. The film board, British Board of Film Classification, decided that the distributors will need to accept that cuts or tweaks will be required for certain titles in order to see a UK release legally.

Some have managed to become very successful without any issues, like Akira and Ghost in the Shell, however a number of other titles received some criticism and concerns. The regular public had always seen animation as something for children, but Japanese anime completely changed that with the introduction of more mature themes and a target audience varying from children to even older teens and adults. I often described it as вЂAnime NastiesвЂ™ with the amount of titles getting high ratings for its content and also the English dubs adding foul language to increase them. For anime however, this was an interesting time to start its exposure. A number of movies were either banned, heavily censored or given much higher ratings than what they would have received in present time. Since Halloween has arrived and Perfect Blue is celebrating its 20th anniversary in the cinema, I decided to make a post about an era that changed anime distribution here in the UK.ДЇor those who arenвЂ™t familiar with the term вЂVideo NastiesвЂ™, this was a common trend during the 1970s to early 2000s when the public, film board and the press were expressing their concerns over films that were deemed вЂtoo inappropriateвЂ™ or вЂtoo violentвЂ™ for UK distribution.
