On more than one occasion we have commented that Blu-ray/DVD sales are no longer a determining factor in deciding the production of a second season of an anime , but they continue to be a direct source of income for animation studios in Japan. , as well as a way for fans to directly support a production.
These Blu-ray/DVD packs typically include physical benefits like printed artwork, but also previously unseen material like interviews with the production staff or voice cast. However, the main attraction of these physical packages is that the anime is presented "without any filters or censorship" , since it is no longer being broadcast on television, but is being sold directly to the consumer.
The promise of “no censorship” is especially attractive when it comes to ecchi series , where we have shots of naked girls, wholesale breasts and butts that, in general, appear fully censored on television. And that was exactly what fans of the Megami no Café Terrace ( The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses ) anime expected when they went to their favorite store to pick up the first Blu-ray/DVD pack.
But when they played the album on their device of choice, they were in for a bitter surprise: it's the exact same version that was broadcast on TV! This is exactly how it was reported by Twitter user “ @g6xa3awstGCEljS ”, who buys most of the Blu-ray/DVDs of each season just to warn his followers if they are worth buying.
The user shared two screenshots comparing the version broadcast on television (and obviously also on streaming platforms) and the one included in the Blu-ray/DVD packages , just to confirm that it is exactly the same censored version:
And of course, all this disappointment could not go unnoticed:
- And with that they want to bail out the damn Blu-ray/DVD industry ? It is true that the studies are more and more inept ».
- « But hey, how do you think that this would be a good idea? ».
- « If they don't have an approval to remove censorship even in the physical packages, what the hell is the reason to adapt an ecchi manga like Megami no Café Terrace? I really don't understand this industry ».
- « This is considered a complete scam, it is a pity that once you open the package you can never return it ».
- " No wonder it's Tezuka Productions, a fading studio that has to take this kind of suggestive series to make itself relevant throughout the year ."
- " It's disappointing, but Tezuka Productions had already disappointed enough with the series even being censored, so I understand ."
