An idol iPhone app which allowed users to tear the clothes off a selection of saucy idols has fallen foul of the puritans at Apple – as usual Apple gives no explanation for the ban, although rather than bullying an independent software developer, this time they have picked a fight with heavyweight publisher Kodansha.
The app, “RIP! Mosatsu!”, offers users the innocuous experience of using their finger to tear off the top layer of an idol’s clothing:
The iPhone version is derived from a popular series of books based on the same concept.
The obligatory sampling of girly pictures:
Released in December, the app was pulled by Apple several months later, with Apple only offering “the criteria have changed” by way of explanation.
Kodansha, the publishers of the app and the books, are sufficiently displeased to have ensured word of this got out to the news media, and castigate Apple in their own words:
“It’s rather questionable for them to be deleting products which passed initial inspection, without so much as an explanation.”
“As a major media distribution channel, they should publish the inspection criteria.”
That they did not offer up only some spineless platitudes and an apology to users probably indicates they are not at all happy with Apple’s decision to randomly ban their product for no reason.
With the iPad being heralded as a next generation publishing platform, users would do well to bear in mind Apple draconian attitude to censoring anything it feels might sully its carefully cultivated brand image – an image which, it seems, has no place for raunchiness.

Well, that's that...At least on the other one you can have some ecchiness...
*goes back to the DS*
I still wonder how Apple can get away with all that. They sell shit at the price of gold, developing for an Apple is a nightmare and their customer support is shite.
And still people buy iProducts.
Only the dumb ones...The perverted ones know better~
you can earn a shitload of money selling stuff to retards ...
You can also earn a load of money selling useless-codescraps-er Apps I mean, for dem Hip-mobilephones (supposedly you can even call ppl with it - not that anyone ever does).
Screw dev cost - just make the app moar expensive.
the last generation produced a lot of hipsters worldwide, we are drowning on them here
I can live with a "no nudity" criteria on legal grounds or age rating enforcement, but the levels of hypocracy are wild; I've been finding first-party romance mangas (PG-13 at worst) appear only to disappear a few days after approval even now. Standards seem random and almost as though different moderators randomly approve/deny things for fun.
By contrast, there are a hundred "social networking" apps marked 17+ that have nude or semi-nude user-uploaded pics from persons identifying themselves as 13, 14, etc. Why can, say, a 10-year-old can purchase "69 sex positions" without any control, or a convicted sex offender can find a pic of a tween in a thong (openly labeled as such) from non-moderated uploading inside apps vs things like this partial nudity app banned. I could go on for a week.
Any level of consistency and I'd be happy. I'll surrender a will for Ecchi or visual novels/manga the minute Cosmo's sex tips and "hot sex stories" apps are banned. I know I sound like a paranoid parent (I'm not) but I only really care for balance.
It being an American machine I bet it'll be ok if you beat up the women instead.........OMG sex is bad mind set proves America needs to burn. America wants to control EVERYTHING
dumbass stupid country. Land of the tall muscle bound apes who love violence and fearful of sex.
It's not America (for once). It's just Steve Jobs ramming his ethical standards both literally and figuratively down our throats. ...Unless it's a high-revenue app, of course.
I synced the app to my jailbroken iPhone 3G but it wouldn't launch. It starts to load and then just quits. Damn =(
And now if it would be a 2D version ... *drooling* :)
Are the books pre-torn or do you have to tear them yourself?

there is the download link for this app have not tried it yet but seem to work.
Dont fap to hard......
:P
No Manga, no porn who da fuck buy this Iphone (A lot of people is moralfag). I will wait for something new and Moralfag free.
Buy a droid, friend. They don't block anything like this.
This app is full of awesome. Apple are such a bunch of dicks....
cool ap bro
Suicide Girls had a similar app banned. It was called the Flip Strip and it was similar in that it had a clothed posed model and when you flipped it was the same pose with her in her underwear or tastefully covered. Apple did the same thing to it a couple of months ago and removed it without warning after it had already been approved and been on the market for months.
This is why I will never get an iPhone or iPad.
Hopefully Kodansha and SG will both decide to rework their strip apps for the droid!
I love my itouch but this shit is getting out of hand i am starting to hate apple and there moral bullshit I mean they have filters for just about everything on the iPhone-touch so why don't they just let these apps stay. I mean if there scared that there apps will get in the hands of little boys and girls why don't they inforce the parental block crap iTunes has jeez!!!
Apple is for fags. That explains everything.
simple minds can only generalize so far.
to say i was to propose to use the ipad to make a full hand (maybe both) touch eroge.... ruined hopes ^^
anyway, i totally dig the pic ripping idea
lol.
if the bra and panties is also ripped, i would rate it 10/10
Not really my thing, but thats pretty cool!
how about an android version ? ~
Awesome. Delicious Gynoids FTW! x-3 (Yes, I am aware of that you were talking about the Google phone, but I prefer my lovely mental image)
There also needs to be a male version of the above app. :-3 Stripping hunks and cuties ftw...
lol RIP! MOSATSU.. the best irony ever
RIP my beloved app
What a bunch of iDiots
Pretty stupid as SI and Playboy are still available, what's the guideline then ? And what's the point of this no-porn family friendly selling point ? Kids can get free porn just about anywhere online, is Yahoo/Google/Safari porn-free ?
was i the only one who saw apprication instead of application?
The solution: Publish it on Android instead. I hear the Xperia phones are popular in Japan right now...
This app needs to come to Android. There no censorship on Android and its a much more friendly environment.
Those pics reminds me Omamori Himari Op.
wow the most stupid app iv seen ever!
Lol. There's an app like this for the android.
cool feature :D
The only RIP OFF ap that's worth playing
Finally a true reason to buy an Iphone :p
"Say what you want about microsoft, but I don't remember them ever being so tyrannical to control everything that was made and placed on their computers outside of of piracy apps of course, they don't give a shit."
Au contraire. They've been trying to achieve *exactly* this level of control for decades. The difference is that Apple controls the hardware, the software, and the distribution channel.
Welcome to "The OUter Limits"
what a stupid app -_-
They are altering the deal. Pray they do not alter it any further.
This must be the "freedom from porn" Steve Jobs was referring to...
Apple= Puritans...that's a good one.
Apple = New Muslims?
I don't get it. What exactly is the problem with this application? Don't people usually have super hot women in bikinis and underwear on their phones? To me this is like making you work for the good.
Seems rather innocuous, really. It just looks fun to be able to rip things like that. If Apple really pulled this over "erotic" content or somesuch, they really are going to far. This is more of a light and fun thing than erotic.
Man...I love the ideas that Japan comes out with
And they wonder why they can't really take over IBM-based(PC) systems' market...
Though, apparently, there are enough elitist fags that suck on Apple's image to keep them in business.
>Purchasing a phone based on availability of porn apps
>When you can browse for free porn
It's like stupidity, doubled.
You realize that Apple will apply these same 'standards' to manga apps (and has).
So while you might not want this app, there's going to be problems with many manga titles getting past the narrow minded bigots that are approving apps at Apple.
Good luck getting kodomo no jikan published on ibookstore.
Easy fix: don't buy Apple products.
Apple products aren't worth it. Exorbitantly overpriced and you have to deal with apple? Fuck that. I'd rather go buy another xbox that will break in 3 weeks.
