The mysterious Sanya mosaic cushion we saw previously has been partially unveiled, and as some speculated does indeed feature the 501st in yuri twister action, with Sanya’s rear taking centre stage.
The actual sight of popular witch Sanya‘s posterior is still tantalisingly verboten though… Gonzo are indeed harsh in desperation.

With the news of Strike Witches producer Gonzo’s dire financial straits, observers are speculating that the Blu-ray format will go one step further even than the already rather extreme DVD:

The debacle that is vampire pantsu anime Rosario + Vampire Capu2 has degenerated into farce with the news that the supposedly decensored DVD has actually been not so subtly altered to tone down the pantsu content, with the MX TV broadcast versions actually more ecchi than the DVD.
You can see this in the comparisons above (the uppermost image is actually the DVD) and below, undertaken by a 2ch pantsu watcher.

Though butchered by censorship in the TV airing, it seems the DVD release of Rosario+Vampire Capu2 manages to rescue matters somewhat and is now being favourably received by such fans as remain. The addition of nipples and uncensoring of various scenes has everything to do with this.
The reduction in bat induced censorship is so great as to not warrant too much detail lest we drown in it, but we can at least have a look at some interesting crowd raep and brief nipple addition by way of animation:

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:

An animator with insider knowledge reports that troubled anime studio Gonzo is considering turning to ero-anime (as in hentai, rather than merely ecchi) to rescue itself, with sacking a quarter of its staff and reducing anime output by half apparently not sufficient to restore it to profitability.

After announcing its intent to radically restructure and halve output, so as to avert losses which could otherwise lead to rapid bankruptcy, Gonzo and parent GDH have begin thinning out the numbers of their employees, as well as executives, starting immediately by recruiting 50 people for “voluntary redundancy”.

Major anime producer GDH, under whose umbrella pantsu anime specialist Gonzo falls, is vowing to completely “streamline” its operations, currently making enormous losses, and restructure its anime production as part of the process.
Huge pay cuts for its bungling bosses, “transfers” of staff and sales of facilities, and a drastic change in focus are promised: “casual” anime is to be a major production focus for the eviscerated company.
Most notably of all, they plan to halve the number of titles produced by their group each year, from 8 to 4, though they appear to be planning to maintain output at 8 by outsourcing production.

A TV anime adaptation of sci-fi novel Shangri-La has been announced. Perhaps most notably, the art design will be provided by the great 村田蓮爾 / Range Murata, so that alone should be interesting to see.
