NEWS: Sentai Filmworks Relinquishes Ro-Kyu-Bu! Home Video Rights

Would the Japanese even know about something like the Sandusky thing? That seems like something only Americans would care abotu since it was an American football coach.

Theres no nudity though, which is the most important thing. Strike Witches, Dance in the Vampire Bund and Koihime Musou all show loli nipples, which is a much bigger thing then dressing some little girl up like a maid.

oh trust me that was from a broadcast version of those episodes and we all know that blurays and dvds are uncensored. so count the number of times you would see loli bobies because it happens alot more often then dance (the only one I have actually seen (edited the only way I would), and I would be the only person who would buy it edited).

I'm probably the only person sad about this

There really isn't much difference between broadcast and BD.

I have a hard time believing the Japanese production company asked for the buy-back out of concern about how this title would be perceived in North America. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when has a Japanese license holder ever given a crap about perceptions outside their native market?

Not North America, everywhere not Asia. And it is not at all that hard to believe that someone on the production committee changed their mind, or wasn't thinking it through when they first ok'ed this and said let's just buy it back just incase or something similar. Hell any number of things could have happened, maybe someone caught wind of the Sandusky trial who hadn't heard of it before and thought now was not the best time for a show like this being released. Little kids, playing sports, in showers, no similarities there with Sandusky . Who knows.

Minori has held back on H scenes in mangagamers release of EF. but is because they are afraid of them getting back to japan. not because it might get bad press though that is a side reason.

It can't be reverse-importation, as Sentai was only doing a Sub-only DVD release.

While this is a anime, the fact remains there is a older male lead and five very young female cast members. Given the recent scandal involving several coaches in USA (namely the Sandusky trial)...

sigh it's a dvd only release. Otaku are notorious for wanting blu-ray only hd stuff now. Basically the highest of high quailty not low res region restricted dvd's. With our encodes being 5-6 episodes per disc is not on their high list of reverse importation, epically when the subs are hard encoded onto the file.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some companies in Japan are paranoid enough to fear even a cheap R1 DVD only release. Might explain Section 23’s release of Papillon Rose.
