Funimation Drops Ishuzoku Reviewers

Ishuzoku Reviewers has proven to be too erotic for Funimation’s “standards” as the show (and its English dub) has been expunged from the streaming platform, immediately making many curious as to why (with some naturally thinking it to be some inane political reason).

The official Ishuzoku Reviewers (Interspecies Reviewers) page on Funimation’s site kicks out a “page does not exist” message upon visiting:

One user emailed Funimation inquiring as to why the anime was dropped, leading to them sending a response saying the show “falls outside of their standards” (perhaps due to a lack of opportunities to alter dialogue to suit their agenda).

The streaming site expressed no desire to change the content (despite frequently doing just that to shows in the past) so they instead opted to deny Western viewers completely by removing it:

Funimation is also apparently excising all discussion relating to Ishuzoku Reviewers as the show’s “master thread” was seemingly deleted:

Funimation originally announced that they were planning to stream the show uncensored, but come its debut day, they aired the censored version and changed the show’s description to remove any mention of the anime being uncensored.

Whatever the explanation, Funimation’s clear intent on altering shows for their own purposes might be reason enough to make any consumer avoid utilizing their services altogether.
