Once again, it seems the latest compilation version of the To Love-ru manga, volume 10, has received the upgrades in ecchiness which are largely being denied the DVD edition, strangely enough. A number of mistakes and omissions seem also to have been dealt with.
Plenty of fans have seen fit to compare the magazine published version with the compilation edition, so the differences are readily apparent:

Strike Witches forms a set of titles with an unexpectedly chequered past, and whilst the current anime seems to have found a popular and stable niche for showing off delicious not-pantsu in ultra low angle shots, when they escape the censors at least, the earlier original manga version, even illustrated by something of an ero-mangaka, in fact got canned over this very reason, and has only recently been revived as a completely different title, with a distinctly sanitised air.
Let us take a closer look at the original loli manga, and circumstances surrounding the cancellation, as it is rather interesting…

To Love-Ru recently had its first DVD release, which means some scrutiny is in order. However, this awkwardly titled anime does not seem inclined to walk the same path as that most determined of ero-anime Kanokon, at least at this stage. The comparison screens speak for themselves:

A middle school girl (15) who stabbed to death her father (46) ignited a typical mass media firestorm of finger pointing, when searches of her room turned up copies of the ひぐらしのなく頃に / Higurashi no Naku Koro ni manga (“occult manga”), a notably bloody tale derived from the famous doujin game series, as well as a variety of other suspect titles, such as murder mystery novels.

Strike Witches pantsu again. If you were thinking it was only the international editions of anime which get butchered by censors, think again. Lately, the various networks in Japan have been particularly keen to assert their sensibilities on the anime they carry, with the result that the more risqué anime can expect to have several different versions.

Aerial pantsu (see below) anime Strike Witches has been attracting much attention with its “They’re not pantsu, so it’s not embarrassing” logic, and of course because of its strong adolescent girl pantsu motif; now it seems that the DVD edition is to get a strong selling point in the form of even more ecchiness, with the news that the creators will be including the bits they were “forced” to remove (removed because of the marketing possibilities seems at least as likely), specifically the pink bits attached to the chests of the female characters will now all be included.

Though it would appear to be a dead letter for the time being, the Japanese government’s attempted encroachment on artistic freedom of expression has not been forgotten; the campaign opposing criminalisation of artistic depictions of sexual activity involving younger participants (hereafter, delicious cake) has been gathering momentum, and can now boast a substantial list of names affirming their support for the cause, in the form of a lengthy petition.

NicoNico Douga has prostrated itself before the might of Japanese intellectual property cartels such as the AJA, JVA and MPAA, and Nico maintainer Dwango is now their willing and obedient slave in all matters, we hear. They have supinely expunged all content the groups deem infringing (and not just limited to anime), so they must be excused if their servers are a little bare at present.

Japanese mobile phone firm eMobile bowed to pressure recently and pulled an advert which critics lambasted as a racist attack on Obama, since it featured a monkey in a suit engaged in crowd wooing oratory, and calling for “Change”. The firm for its part denies the accusations, but has ceased the offending campaign anyway. In their defence, they state they had earlier employed the macaque motif in other campaigns.
Full report at rag Guardian. It may be interesting to note that hardly a whiff of this story has appeared in the Japanese media, or even on 2ch to my knowledge. Comes to my attention via FG.
Insensitive, or oversensitive?
The funeral pyre of Mainichi rag WaiWai has blazed into a general conflagration of infernal proportions, with the spectres of innumerable lawsuits for slander and calumny eagerly circling it, and the latest pick of their dubious articles will not see the heat abate any time soon – all 2ch is gleefully heaping fuel onto the fire, so here is the latest article of controversy.

The release of the sixth Bamboo Blade DVD brings with it the news of a remastered/reincluded bath scene (apparently the scene was removed for broadcast due perhaps to a lack of literal steaminess to preserve the modesty of the characters), though fans can rest assured that a high standard of taste is maintained throughout; see what you can expect below, not that I wish to imply a certain other recipient of erotic upgrades is lacking in taste.

The mangaka defunct rag WaiWai branded a paedophile, over his using a tastefully dressed girl character (above) to illustrate an official manga version of an otherwise dry defence white paper, has shot back at Mainichi, demanding a public apology, only to be told that he can expect an under the table settlement, but under no circumstances must he write about it on his blog.
でこくーる / decocool wrote about it on his blog, revealing the details of the interchange in full.
