- It's great to have a representative of A.D. Visions on the 'net so we can
- have a link to them.
-
- I was very pleased and very surprised to see Devil Hunter Yohko in U.S.
- video release. Pleased, because it's a very good anime, and surprised
- because I didn't think anyone would be brave enough to release anything with
- this much overtly sexual content. After hearing about the Minna Aga Chau
- controversy of a couple years back, I thought all subbing companies would be
- afraid to release anything too racy. I am pleased to see that A.D. Visions
- is brave enough to licence this video. I am wondering if there is a certain
- philosophy behind A.D. Visions with regard to releasing titles with the
- kind of overtly sexual nature found in this video. As I haven't seen the
- packaging, I'm also wondering what kind of warnings are on it. I'd hate to
- see an unsuspecting mother rent it for her kids and then get all upset
- when she saw that it wasn't appropriate for the little tots.
- Misunderstandings like that could give all anime a black eye.
