I'm not sure I'm buying that this was some type of marketing thing Dragoon. So they drag their brand name through the mud, so Vampire Bund sells well? I am not following. Perhaps if it was something else, then yes. But here...I don't know. I have to agree with Cody. They are lol "considering" it. We will see...

My thoughts on the matter, I posted on another site.

I can understand them making a mistake, in today's world everyone is wanting the latest anime now. And with fansubs giving that, the legit companies can't stand around and watch a series that hasn't aired yet. I doubt Sentai or any other US licensor can get advanced copies of a show they license until the episode airs in Japan.

Obviously, in the seven episodes that have aired they can release them unedited but they will hold off on the final five until they have aired so they can ensure "they comply with current US law". This is my understanding from their statement.

I think after Vampire Bund US companies will be more careful but I can see this happening again due to the fact US companies are trying to compete with fansubers and are trying to give fans legit viewing options as a show airs in Japan.

As long as Funimation releases the DVDs uncut I can overlook this whole mess. I doubt that the anime will contain material that doesn't comply with current US law in the final five episodes but it is possible.
