Convenient censoring fanservice animes are pointless

The only thing I can say to this is, "WHY?!"
Seriously, as someone who has seen all three OVAs (yes, even Sleeping), this license came as a very unpleasant surprise to me.

So, the new catchphrase is "I bought this DVD to exercise (but please do not ask what part of my anatomy is going to get exhausted)"

Why? Like, seriously, why? From what I've heard of these OVAs, there's less value in these OVAs than the most mediocre fanservice slog. The bulk of each OVA is a repeating clip of whatever thing they're doing.

It is... but its strangely satisfying. Especially if you're into certain things. Shoulder straps falling off, cleavage, legs, cheek peeks. Also there is the natural/voyeristic angle.

Why bother? I mean who would even pay money for this pedo bait? Sentai thinks someone will I guess.

Maiden Japan, not Sentai. Matt Greenfield runs MJ. Sentai is run by John Ledford. Two separate companies. I would imagine, like most Maiden Japan titles, that this was probably bundled with something else.

Maiden Japan and Sentai Filmworks are both under Section23 Films, so in a way, they're 'related'. I might be wrong though.

Sure, but only in the sense that releases from the two are solicited together & the like. John Ledford & Matt Greenfield are still two different people, so MJ is definitely the place where Greenfield is able to license what he wants, regardless of what Ledford thinks of them.

There are more fitting insults than pedobait. Calling a big breasted woman pedobait is absurdist.

Yeah, they're both distributed by Section 23, but it doesn't own either label. They are certainly more closely tied than other video companies that share a distributor, but not to the point that they are the same management or really have any legal ties. It can be confusing though.

If that one doesn't work for you, feel free to substitute insipid tripe, inane garbage, or vapid rubbish, but personally I'd check her ID before I hit that if she was real.

Yeah, my bad I meant to say Section23, which owns both so they're all part the same company if you ask me. I work for subsidiary company, myself, and when I fill out my W-2 every year it's not for the company I work for it's for the parent company and the parent company are the ones who deposit my checks.

She's super cute. And I watched these because of that... But they are also garbage. And not even in the ironic "good" way that gets thrown around. I'm down for slice of life with a good bit of fanservice, but this isn't good slice of life, or good fanservice. The sleeping one was especially mind-numbing. I did fast forward through the majority of that one, at least.
