You guys need to realize it was most likely removed due to people reporting it. Youtube isn't "Drunk" for picking it out. Content like that isn't removed automatically by youtube. Someone had to manually remove it after it got reported. The copies will only get removed if they also get reported.
I hate to use the "everybody knows" arguement, but I think literally everybody that has dealt with Youtube knows content doesn't need to be flagged by a bunch of viewers to get taken down and that there are automatic (software) filters that scan the data for tags and watermark data that they think indicate copyright violation, whether it conforms to Youtube's conditions of use or not. Why do you think the trick of posting a video left-right inverted keeps YT from harassing posters? It gets taken down "automatically" when found, sometimes without warning, in the sense that the admins just take it down and deal with irate YT posters later. There is an appeal process (hasn't always been there) but again, the admins don't have to put anything back and won't unless the subscriber has enough backing or makes a strong enough case that it doesn't violate any T&C. In this case, maybe if enough viewers complain to the YT admins the videos in question might get restored since it doesn't sound like it is really pornographic.

I just watched this morning (it was like 13 hours ago) and its now taken down by Youtube? That is too bad.

Hope they managed to restore it back because I dont see anything offensive about the story.

Of course, you can STILL find the very same video on Youtube if you want to be the personal judge of the content by either searching for the alternate English title or the source Japanese title (as of this post timestamp), it is hardly raunchy, but I can see an argument that it objectifies the young teenage girl into little more than Eye Candy (however, if that is the problem, then there are countless videos like that up on Youtube already).

What the hell. There are zero nudity or sexual content in that short.
There are much worse contend in music clips of Miley Cyrus or Rihanna. If they removed this, then had removed the music clips long time ago.

If clothed large anime boobs are enough to get a video taken down from YouTube then Misty Chronexia and Lost Pause should have their channels shut down.

The short actually got so much publicity from getting it removed. The creator of the short must be very happy about this.

I don't understand. There's absolutely nothing lewd about it at all. Even the theme of the show isn't lewd or explicit.

What the actual fudge, man. YouTube keeps getting more and more pathetic every day, especially after this YouTube heroes garbage.

Lost Pause did get taken down for a while. I was there and it was stressful! Thankfully, YouTube decided there was enough support for Noble and returned his channel, much to my and many other fans' delight.
You'd think that it being 2016 and all, people would prefer there to be LESS censoring! I don't know what went wrong honestly.

That's hilarious. I saw it; sure, it has that "oogling" aspect, but that's still pretty tame, moreso when compared to other videos on the site. I hope the producers have other outlets to distribute the shorts through.

I go to sleep after watching that beautiful video then I come to ANN hours later to find out its been removed. WTF is wrong with this world? This world line is flawed AF!

Ai's massive breast have a reason and a right to exist just as much as a girls tiny non-existent breast. Are you so blind that you've never seen a real life high school girl with breast on par with hers? smh

ScrewTube daring to ban a video from the sleeping mega giant NBC Universal. Gee I wonder who's gonna eat whom after this?

Also you DO realize that site is almost entirely automated don't you. They have an internal scan software that picks up dangerous content sometime after it's uploaded and automatically flags it as inappropriate. I don't even think an actual human being is even so much as is aware of the blocked video until the uploader goes through the entire appeal process.

I don't know if you are being serious with this because actual breast like that in real life is too rare to be seen and the short could do just as well or better if her breast is smaller as this sort of thing is easy to be used as suporting evidence for anime hating regime that dominated Youtube, which is what I was originally implying and decided to post before my phone taken a blank screen. Also, please refrain from calling me "blind" because honestly, I don't care about the content and just watch the shit that I wanna watch, thank you. Complaining, criticizing or hating on anime is not something I find amusing.

I think he's not, except it's can increase the views from the western auditory (but only in the first days). And seriously, that wasn't even adaptation of the manga or some kind... but the Comiket doujinshi series (and some illustrations which author draws on the Twiiter). Yes, literally the doujin.

Well, it didn't help that if you search "getsuyoubi no tawawa" or "monday no tawawa", the video is there, but there are a ton of NSFW matches (video thumbnails are of porn). I've been reporting the NSFW channels as they come in, but I can't do it alone and I hope the person's/people's IP gets banned.

I feel like someone is deliberately trying to get clicks/views based on the hype and/or trying to ruin the ability for actual show to stay up.

Well, I ended up watching the episode (fan upload) felt like I couldn't criticize anything without haveing seen it. Yeah I know companies have terms of service and no one has an unalienable to a Youtube account but this is ridiculous it's a mildly suggestive series and it get pulled could this be the ill effect of the Youtube Hero initiative who knows.

This honestly feels wrong that Youtube would do something like this but here we are.
