And to think that Madman licensed and streamed Interspecies Reviewers before the company got eaten by Funimation.
I am curious what changed between seasons given the first one had heavy petting and simulated sex scenes. Did the show start doing a Lolicon character? or cover a rape story? (I havnt watched past like episode 6 or so) Generally it is underage sex, drugs or rape depicted in a positive light that gets things refused classification by the board. Either that or pornographic levels of sex. I have no stakes in whatever outrage occurs from the governments refusal to allow sale of a product. I am just curious why it was refused in this case. |

Multiple volumes of To Love Ru Darkness were also banned in Australia last year.
Volumes 2-13 and 15. https://www.classification.gov.au/titles/love-ru-darkness-vol-2 |

Hmm
Well it probably has to do with the fact that there are multiple scenes that take it up way higher in this season than the previous one. To name a fewspoiler[: The Orgy/attempted rape scene in the dungeon. The Attempted reverese rape on Diablo by that gunner chick(Yes idiots a woman can rape a man too) The Questionable love affair with seemingly underage girls(unlike before were both girls were no human, the priestess is so maybe that is were they draw the line)] Either way, im surprise the first season even made it to Austrailia let alone this one. It is what it is, shame for the Australian fandom again but that is how they do it. |

That does sound like content they would ban. It is curious that web streaming does not have those standards applied.

I think AUS has more important things to worry about banning some cartoons and going on pseudo "book burning crusade."

You would have thought that with all that is wrong with the world they wouldn’t use time on something like naughty drawings but here we are. |

I was thinking the demon lord girl's stuff and the rabbit girl were probably the line they crossed. Emerje |

I didn't know that Australia was also run by morons.

Oh trust me, Australia has quite a few Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in the Moron Olympics. On a whole range of topics, too. Australia (and the UK) have been in the anime-censoring business for a while. |

It always disturbs seeing an entire country just ban fictional content meant for adults with no regard for what the the adults of their country want. I'll never give up the anime and manga I've already bought and collected even if the laws in my country changed one day, they would have to kill me lol.

Another year and another insistence of Australia being Australia, I hope the classification board knows that there are way greater dangers than a few sex scenes in their country right, like nearly everything that moves.

While I'm not surprised by this, what really bothers me is that there was no reason given. It's awfully difficult to dispute a decision when you don't know what the problem is, which leaves the options of either making some sort of edits and hope you guess right, or just give up entirely, which I'm sure is what they want in the end.

Guess that means you can't buy it abroad, and then bring it into the country. It is a digital title also. If you bought the digital anime on Amazon, would it still be a crime? |
