NEWS: Amazon Prime Video Removes Interspecies Reviewers Anime

2) Apple is quick to pull any app for pornographic content off their store (this is probably one of the biggest reasons)

For all that people have been blaming Western streaming sites for this debacle, you'd think the Japanese licensors would have done a better job of explaining to international streaming sites what this show's content was going to be like before they spent money on the license fees, especially in this day and age of high speed Internet communication.

For crying out loud, this was not an anime original story, this was all along a manga (now in volume 3, at this rate the anime will only cover the first two) adaption that did not deviated from the source material. What Funimation did was the equivalent of a vegan going to a burger king and then crying foul because their is meat in their meal. -_-;

Well, obviously, because that doesn't exist in Valkyrie Drive

Not actual sex scenes but lots of nudity and molestation of a 15 year old as mentioned in the series. Which is why the BBFC blocked it's release in the UK when MVM tried to release it here.

To be fair, the censored version is the only officially streamed version. Can't blame someone for not being a pirate.

Wait, when did the molestation of a 15 yr old happen?? I've been watching this show since the beginning uncensored and can't remember anything like that. Honestly, to me all the characters also look old enough (by anime standards) (cept maybe Crim and his baby face.)

The most probable reasons it's getting yanked everywhere.

I swear, if you ask me, all this bad press from feminists, to streaming services jumping ship, it just garners more attention for the series and makes it more relevant in the news and I love it

You know I see people going all “those pesky feminists trying to get this pulled” but I honestly didn’t see that much blowback compared to Goblin Slayer, Shield Hero, or even Nekopara. I really don’t think it’s “them” dude.

From everything I've heard about this show, the anime did add in more graphic content than the manga. Is it typical for anime companies to read the manga source material of every title they license?

AnimeLab and Wakanim are streaming it still, and they are Western streaming sites. Clearly this is a US thing.
