Can somebody explain to me the Interspecies Reviewers' controversy?
I know what the show was about, but it wasn't a problem until something happened. Did the show went too far in one episode or something? |

Essentially, the anime was much more explicit than the manga. Where the manga basically never showed any of the sexual acts and just sort of described them in the character's reviews, the anime showed them (albeit censored for most distributors). After a certain episode (3 or 4, I forget which), most of the Western distributors stopped airing it (including Funimation, who had dubbed episode one), and a good number of Japanese stations dropped it as well. Some people got angry etc etc Very different situation to Redo, where the content is obvious, as opposed to the manga being way tamer than the anime with IR. |

Oh, so the anime is more explicit thus distributors were not ready, ok thanks, that explains it.

Probably not cause it is the heavily censored after I watched it on Hi Dive i watched it uncensored on a fansubbed website and the places during the whole r**e scene on Hi Dive's stream all they showed were backgrounds when she was well...I can't say cause its that lewd if you torrented it or watched it on fansubbed sites you would know. And when you see more just empty room scenes and spanking/pig noises in the background in the uncensored version it actually was like watching porn lol I'm surprised this fansubbed website has stuff so close to hentai like Reviewers and this series without actually having any hentai titles. xD I'm pretty much staying for the edgy character and generic story on Hi-Dive's version and the naughty bits and to see how far they will actually go in the uncensored version. Sentai are probably just going to remove the black parts when they release it on Bluray I don't know if they will release it fully uncensored since its like watching a hentai. |

I would not classify Redo of Healer as hentai because, unless I am mistaken, it does not show genitals. And based on Sentai's BD release of Domestic Girlfriend, their Redo's BD's should be uncensored and uncut. |

It really enjoys playing with that line though, with visible semen (something that was newsworthy when it appeared in an HBO series that already had plenty of graphic sex) and the dimmed shot of Flare's...er, "walls" while she was masturbating.
Unless it's released as R-18 in Japan it's not hentai though. |

It's basically a hentai with a trench coat on. It's parading around as not being a hentai, but at it's core it might as well be. Basically they stopped 1 step before making it a hentai so it could be animated as a real show, and not just as a hentai. Especially when that market is already flooded with revenge rape or titles as is. If this title ever gets (I'm sure it will) an unrated BR release that would almost definitely be for all intents and purposes a hentai. Just with better production values. |

It will be interesting to see the impact of this show on streaming censorship. I'm not sure if HIDIVE is allowing this to be shown in New Zealand but if it is it will definitely be banned as objectionable. Under New Zealand censorship laws you can have rape scenes in shows/movies BUT scenes where rape is glorified is not allowed. https://www.dia.govt.nz/Digital-Child-Exploitation-Objectionable-and-Restricted-Material The issue is that this is content streamed from overseas so I'm not sure how that works. |

Streaming stuff may be exempt, but if they try to release it in NZ I bet it will be refused classification.
I'm not sure if it'd pass classification in Australia either. |

I'm not surprised by it not being done in germany though that was actually a pretty good vocal performance in ep2 I'm not entirely sure if I'd be comfortable with going that far sure she was nuts but personally I would of just wiped her memories and change her appearence and just dumped her somewhere

I thought spoiler[convincing her they were lovers] was a nice touch, largely because so much emphasis was put on by how disgusted she was by him before. |

But like if it was classified as hentai, it would be bad hentai and probably do worse. |

Bingo. So instead to make more money they can tone it down/cover it up juuuusssttt enough to get by not calling it one. Generally speaking even the best hentai won't make the money as the shittiest "normal" title on a season's list. And thus here we are with this show airing as a normal tv series, when in reality it's just another shitty unoriginal rape fantasy hentai at heart. In fact, from what I've read from others up on the source material this is just a fraction of what is coming. If what I have heard is true, and if they do animate it, I put money down right now Sentai drops this. |

It's kind of sad, as I like Sentai as a distributer. When they were apparently working with Amazon on Anime Strike, they chose to license a lot of excellent shows for that service. Now they're basically on their own and are being priced out of licenses by Funi and CR, soon to be one company.
I've read that the cost of licensing may actually go down after the merger because of less competition (which could be bad for productions), but I don't think that necessarily means Sentai will be able to license more stuff because Sony will probably be a lot better funded than them. |
