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.
very nice anime, reps
WTF OMG I’m with all of you, i meen im from US and i can’t wait to leave to japan.Im po’ed at censorship. I’m trying to show the anime to my friend and like 5 seconds into the anime BAM!!! there’s the bear or bat! I wanna kick the person who did this in the balls!!!!

I think the bat and bear have totally ruined the second season of this show for me, someone needs to Email the people who added this censor and let them know they just slapped everyone who enjoyed the first season of this anime in the face.
