Sankarea: Complete Series - Broadcast Edit Version (Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo)


Beware this release is censored
Funimation has messed up this release majorly and has put the heavily censored TV version of this series on the Blu Ray/DVD sets and does not currently have the uncensored masters on hand yet.

Because of this, if you buy this release from Amazon or anywhere at the moment, you will notice that the episodes are heavily censored in scenes.

I suggest people cancel their pre orders and refrain from buying this series until Funimation has shipped the uncensored boxsets to retailers at some point in the future.

I am absolutely against censorship but think that this needs to be mentioned, many of you will need to return your boxsets to Amazon and request a refund, a replacement won't make any difference, you will just get a censored boxset sent to you.

Sit tight, Funimation doesn't make mistakes often, and as you've noticed I haven't in any way been negative towards Funimation.

I will leave this review up for a short while before...
This release is censored, do not buy.
While I have enjoyed the manga, the anime is censored. If you contact Funimation, you can get replacement discs that are uncensored. However, your best bet may be to return this item to Amazon and purchase the unedited release when it becomes available.

Hopefully Amazon will return the edited version of Sankarea to Funimation, for the unedited version. Funimation has indicated that it will be producing the unedited version of Sankarea, as soon as possible.
I don't own it but this is important info
Fair warning, I don't own this.

Funimation has stated they've chosen to recall the release of this series due to issues. The original issue is the masters they worked from were the televised versions(which are editing for time and censored for air in Japan). They were going to do a disc replacement offer, but realized that the rating on the title would have to change from TV-14 to TV-MA. If you've already bought the set and don't wish to keep it they now suggest returning to the retailer.
