Near bankrupt anime studio Gonzo are desperately turning more than ever to their apparently tried and tested “Rosario+Censorship=DVD Sales” business plan.
In the 11th episode we see that censorship cuts by way of censorship mascot kuma are not only more numerous than ever before, they are also hugely more obtrusive, with any potential DVD sales point now obscured by several kuma, where before the mascot merely sat in the middle of the pantsu.
As many as four kuma now plaster the slightest flash of pantsu:

A staggering 72 cuts (with 5 by bat and the rest by bear) now render this anime an unashamedly drawn out advert for the DVD.



In case you were wondering, this was the Osaka version. Tokyo MX is known for broadcasting uncensored editions, but in this case that merely results in a 20% reduction in kuma-cuts.
The good source.

Bad news for those who watch this..
Gonzo has already slaughtered this series. No such thing as bad news anymore since R+V can be considered dead.
Yes! It's really bad news for me T_T
Gonzo pretty much killed the story and the show when it was first aired
And people wonder why Gonzo is bankrupt. Doing stupid shenanigans with already mediocre animes is as a surefire way to sink a company as there is.
exactly
No you killed the world with ur gay disease you homo faggot!
i glad i stopped watching at early stage XD
Glad that I didn't even watch it.
2nd that.....
The manga is really good though.....
This is so absurd. There isn't that much fanservice in the manga and yet the anime is like Project Aiko on drugs. Then you get Mahou Sensei Negima where the manga is plastered with "service" shots and it's pretty much all gone in the anime. Talk about missing the point.
full of pedhobear. . . .
1 step closer to bankrupty =_=
Pedobear has been a Japanese meme since loooong ago, as it looks like.
I stopped watching after the 2nd episode, and have no plans on buying the DVD.
Goodbye Gonzo and good riddance. Your work is almost all crap.
Not just yet, I want moar Strike Witches! LOL
dissapointment :( i just downloaded that ep and it crushed my hopes
I stopped watching at ep 8
Its kinda sad that the series is depicted like this, as the manga is actually quite good. It has some (well, quite a bit) fanservice in it, but there actually exist a story as well.
I watched the first half of the Rosario To Vampire season, started reading the manga about 6-8 eps into the anime (as it had a somewhat interesting story initially).
After I had done that I dropped the anime completely, only to return to see the last ep of what can only be called a clusterfuck of the original story. I'm glad I started to read the manga and dropped the anime.
Had a similar experience with Kanokon.
Kanokon manga != Kanokon anime, two completely different things, only similarity is the names of the characters and some of the looks.
there's always the excellent manga which is still ongoing... quadrillion times better than the anime. ^^
fck em...censor dao bear and bats being involve..
Gonzo is like a meat butcher...it slaughters the anime
They used to release some quality anime back a few years ago. wtf happened to them? Doesn't seem like them to butcher good series like this
But... Does really anybody watch this anime?
A few people still watch to take caps of the censorship.
I watched the first season. Ridiculously vapid, but at the same time that was what I needed to help me get through finals. The last couple of episodes were overall better, though.
It seems to me that this'll only create more demand for downloads of the uncensored DVD releases. Given that they'll be available anyhow, it seems like a pretty bad move to piss the audience off when it could mean they'll wipe their butts with Gonzo just as Gonzo flipped them off.
I'll miss them, but only because they were the ones to animate Welcome to the NHK. Had it been any other studio, well, not so much.
The anime is already bad enough, adding the censors will just make it even more worse ~__~
Whoever censors anime must die... >__> They can sell more even without censors... They just need to add specials... Kinda like Ikkitousen... Uncensored and its sold a lot...
Ecchi anime mustn't be censored! MX version censored the boob groping and exposure, but the fairy pantsu or if she does have one was censored. NO CHERRIES TILL TH DVD!!! DAMN YOU BEARS!!!! DAMN YOU BATS!!!
I don't think this article need a 'Toggle Visibility of Mature Content' button on it as Gonzo have already done a great job.
as for the anime, cencorship logo's piss me off and ruin the anime outright. either don't draw in nipples and such or don't even bother with pantsu scenes.
They (Gonzo) just guaranteed that I'll never want to buy their versions of the DVD.... assuming I want to pony up the money for the anime, which sucks *waaay* more than the manga does.
Enjoy your bankruptcy, faggots (Gonzo again). I'll sit back and lol.
Well the idiots who did this probably won't have a job in a few months.
I still watch Pantsu to Vampire but I hardly know why. I'll likely d/l the dvd rips when they surface, but I'd never have bought it anyway. It's a shame, the main characters are cute/well designed and the manga had potential for a great adaptation. Fail.
I do like the OP though. I've not skipped it once, and I always skip OP/EDs.
Haha, and here is the reason I stopped watching this anime after around episode 3. Forget the fact that the content of this anime is completely pointless, there is no real character development or story progression. Here, they decide to remove the only real reason for watching the anime at all, good luck Gonzo, you'll need it.
I will buy... the cds for dvdrips that i will download in the future. xD
Figures they would go down. I watched the first damn episode and lost it. Too many eechi scenes and dint follow the manga at all. The series they had somewhere between 197 to 2002 were not all that bad. what the fuck happened? i will never know.
