Loli bathing anime Kanamemo had previously attracted attention for being packed full of enticing but heavily steamed (or rather, cat-pawed) ero-scenes, which were thought to be due for uncensoring in the DVD edition, but for inexplicable reasons parts of the DVD version are actually more heavily censored than the TV version.
Fortunately for fans, quite a lot of additional pantsu and similar did become visible once freed from the tyranny of the cat’s paw, and there is fresh yuri material to boot…
What is with japan? Is everyone too chicken shit to stir the pot once and a while? Even with the uncensored screens it's still censored..! Uggh I use to like anime because they were never afraid to push the bar, but now it seems nobody wants to do anything to upset anyone.. Truly sickening.
Yea this is disappointing. I was expecting to see some uncensored loli nipples in the dvd version. But it was just one censor covering another censor. EPIC FAIL.
Oh well, guess I'll have to wait for the Shin Koihime Musou dvd for naked lolis.
I really hate this new step anime are taking. Now the "uncensored" DVDs are just slightly less censored while the TV counterpart censors underwear? This is ridiculous.
Someone needs to super uncensor this like with Strike Witches. I mean, the DVD version being MORE censored than the TV version? I don't see the logic (unless Blu-Ray is super uncensored).
This is a good idea really. The show was an attempt to appeal to too many audiences at once, so a slightly censored DVD would be a good idea if there is an uncensored BluRay. Would be much like the all-ages and 18+ ero games. Or maybe a 13 (15?)+ and 17+? Either way, if things like this occured with the Japanese release of Strike Witches, I know loads of people that would be more than happy to buy the censored version now that it isn't on T.V.
Uncensored versions detract from the story and anything important in the plot for those that did not watch them on T.V. Remember, this show has a plot and is a "slice of life" show even though it moves back and forth between it and the H scenes. Japan needs to appeal to their consumers after all, and DVDs are typically bought by people that liked the show a lot or have yet to see it and heard about it from those that saw it on T.V. in the first-place. And you get a cleaner-looking version if you waited to buy it.
If the BluRay is uncensored, everyone gets what they want, the uncensored version would LOOK better, there'd be appeal to buy either version, and the company makes more money off of the loli appeal. Sounds good imho if that's how it works.
I just watched this episode now on Crunchyroll and it's really stupid. This show doesn't even have anything to censor, and yet they're censoring it!
The overabundance of steam and beams of light are just too much, and are ridiculous. Kanamemo isn't an ecchi anime, and the steam makes sure it's censored enough, and even when there's no steam, there's no visible nipples and the worst we see is underwear.
I hope this stupid trend reverses. We're still seeing dumb censorship in To Love Ru and such even in 2015. And they had full frontal in Anime back in the 80's! Japan is going so backwards, they need to uncensor everything, especially porn and real life porn.
Ok people, if u just wanna watch some tits and more uncersored, why don't you just watch a hentai.... problem solved, I've never seen the point of these animes, with the hentai out ther
You know, I don't know if this is relevant, but if I were a worker at one of these animation studios I'd "acquire" the uncensored versions of these animes and sell bootlegs for tons of cash. Theoretically it's totally possible isn't it? They add the steam to the animation later, and draw the full nudes don't they? If not I guess this comment doesn't make any sense.
However in terms of mosaics in hentai it's possible. Anyone privy to this kind of knowledge?
Lol I'd never sell on ebay, that'd be retarded. I'd line up customers (otaku) I knew were interested and keep it on the downlow (wouldn't share, p2p etc) if they didn't want me to stop providing.
Wow, the uncensored version is so much better! Now instead of covercat, you see steam so thick you could chew it!
lol... and this is why you don't buy something that's been censored on TV. Just because they deliberately don't show you on the TV version doesn't mean they will show you anywhere else...
I think this is all happening cause of agnes chan, Equality now, and UNICEF are still here.

Weak.
This isn't going to sell DVDs.

this anime lost all the fun for me since i saw that megane lolicon
Oh gosh... replacing censor by censor... epic fails!
Lolis was supposed to be showed, hehehehe.
Let's free the lolis from censors!!

"Kanamemo - Supercensored Edition" now available on Blu-Ray !
Ahhhhhh i meant SuperUNcensored ;)
I guess one must wait for the blueray release for the uncensored version.
So ... they replace censorship with ... censorship?
What!?
Why am I not watching this?
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
I miss the cats. ;_;
Sadly, Kanamemo didn't get it's act together until the very end.
Fail.
I liked the kitties. Though I like partially uncensored lolis more. Added yuri scene is much appreciated.
I want more Kanamemo... and of course, less steam in that episode. But I really want moar Kanamemo.
still steamed out the lolis though.
Reminds me of the Kitty's Xplay used to put up to block violent content from games. *Insert cute meows when you see a cat in a picture*

From cats to steam to convenient censhorship
Their definition of "Uncersored" must be somewhere along these lines:
If it's censored with steam, reduce the amount slightly. If it's censored with cats, replace them with FUCKING STEAM EVERYWHERE.
I have a feeling people are going to hate me if I say that I liked it nonetheless.
I think we can all agree though that censoring pantsu is kinda...strange. It implies there's something more behind door number 1. What a tease.
So dissapointed, I was really looking forward to this one. Some of it's an improvement (I hate that stupid cat icon), but what failure.
They call this DVD? Fuck too much steam it fails more miserably than rosario vampire.
No nipples? shit sux. Not touchin my harddrive.
WTF!
People want the DVD's for the stuff that is too good to show on the TV! I'd rather have cats than the stupid steam. LAME!
So the Blu-ray will have absolutely no fog?
Or is that left for the skilled photoshop artists out there?
Ok people, if u just wanna watch some tits and more uncersored, why don't you just watch a hentai.... problem solved, I've never seen the point of these animes, with the hentai out ther
some of them suck, we want Lolis dammit! also SHIT WAS SO CASH!
Oh my goddddddddd! So much potential naked and yuri groping and we don't get to see anything. We ought to boycott censored anime like this.
Hm...seems the producers (of the show) did some fairly good trolling. o.o;
Cat censors were better.
Yea, the steam looks like a censor of a censor.
Censoring simple draws is so much FAIL.
I see what they did there. GG.

Thats a fucking lol, they censored pantsu on the right but the thought that naked body on the left is ok? What the point in censoring at all then??
Why watch this when there are much more involving and uncensored eroge? :)
Why play eroge when there's much more wet and soft REAL pussies.
You got the point though.
They cost you your freedom and money, though...
QFT buddy.
What the fuck is this shit??!! Steams are not allowed in DVDs you baka!
less steam, no cats, but no nipples... more watchable than tv, imho
More watchable is not enough. TT_TT
What's the point of animators(?) drawing skills if you censor it into oblivion later on?
I guess they never got around to drawing it.
Nothing here needed to be censored in the first place.
wtf.... it dosent make any difference, shit still sucks
shit was so cash!
Boo, some steam are still stubborn enough.. :<

you risk losing your job and getting arrested to sell what, 10-20 copies MAX on ebay or whatever.... rmba, piracy will then be your new enemy....
Lol I'd never sell on ebay, that'd be retarded. I'd line up customers (otaku) I knew were interested and keep it on the downlow (wouldn't share, p2p etc) if they didn't want me to stop providing.
Unless they initially drew nipples and then changed their minds before the dvd release, even de-fogging it won't help.
So it all depends on when they decided to shaft their customers.
I lol'd at image 05...
Why is that one cat covering the only girl who has PANTS ON while leaving out all the NAKED WOMEN to the left?? XD
lols ha ha why indeed xD seems better that way xD
stubborn enuf to fap with it?
I will stick with the censored version, because even though it's still censored, they censored it with pussy instead of steam.
and what I wanted to see from this show was lots of pussy.
Wow, the uncensored version is so much better! Now instead of covercat, you see steam so thick you could chew it!
lol... and this is why you don't buy something that's been censored on TV. Just because they deliberately don't show you on the TV version doesn't mean they will show you anywhere else...
i rather see nipples than pussy cat...
soooo the censor was just covering up another censor?
wow....way to overkill the anime...
lol
