Ecchi vampire anime ロザリオとバンパイア CAPU2 / Rosario + Vampire Capu2 has become the target of utterly draconian and shameless censorship it seems, with the crude mutilation of the title not even bothering to resort to the figurative and literal fig leaf of regional physics.
As you can see above and below, viewers in some areas are treated to mysterious pantsu occluding bats, amongst other efforts at DVD sales promotion.

The offending broadcasters in this case are Osaka TV and Aichi TV, with Tokyo MX as usual providing a completely untouched version. It seems there will be another split between the stations looking to censor and those content to allow viewers to decide for themselves what is appropriate.
Interestingly, the first season was broadcast uncensored by all… Is there some underlying factor prompting these actions?
Regarding the work itself, nobody cares about the story and the comedy and panchira are fine, so it may be one to watch, assuming there are no bats in the way of things.
I would expect this kind of thing in the U.S. But in Japan? Whyyy?
because of westernization. FFFFFFFFFing westernization.
Its the white people who move over there and bitch and create things like PTA and bs like that.
same case as strike witches?
hope the subber will take the uncensored version, the only reason for me to watch this series is mizuki nana
The funny thing was, on TV Osaka, the bat censors were quite inconsistent… Sometimes you had pantsu, sometimes you had bats…. >_<
Maybe they didn’t have enough money to censor all those pantsu shots cuz it seemed to be over 9000 of them in the first ep.
Watch as viewer ratings plummet. Fortunately some stations are reasonable, and in turn so will most subbers. Series may still have a chance.
if its continue like this I dont know what to do with this season.
maybe waiting dvd version more reasonable but anyways I cant wait anymore =/
That. DAMNED. Bat.
$%#$%#$$#%^%$@
If you see that fscking bat one more time?
Its true westernization is bull shit we cant adapt so we change other cultures.im going to kill that bat.whats the point of censorship i already know whats happening behind that fucking bat
WTF
why the fuck would someone be so anal about somthing like that, thats why i love the series. Not so perverse to where its uncomfortable, but still pretty sexy/funny type thing
WTF
If I see that fucking bat one more time…
