Just a bit of fun. Go to the British Board of Film Classification website and search for anime licensed in the UK. Post the UK name of the anime along with the highest age rating it got and why it got it. Extra points if you can find anime that required cuts.

THE FAMILIAR OF ZERO
Rating 15
sexualised nudity, frequent moderate references to sex and sexual assault, fantasy violence
Strange how Oreimo is an 18 but this gets a 15.
FATE KALEID LINER PRISMA ILLYA
Rating :12
Moderate fantasy violence, sex references, nudity
I'm really surprised it's not higher.
ANOTHER
Rated 15
Contains moderate injury detail and occasional gory moments
GURREN LAGANN
Rating: 15
Reason: strong violence
Insight: Most of the violence occurs as rival factions in robotic armour fight each other. The violence is fantastical in nature, with energy blasts causing unrealistic damage during fast-moving battles. However, there is also some more personalised violence, as characters engage in combat using swords and other sharp instruments to inflict bloody injury.
The film also contains some suggestive images of female characters in revealing costumes.
Sounds like the guy classifying it had a thing for Yoko.

When compared to the others it should be at least a 15.
Haibane Renmei was rated 12 because the last DVD had a trainer for Ikkitousen.
ROZEN MAIDEN

EoE and 2.22 both caught 15s, all other episodes and films were 12 or under
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

Ikki Tousen - Dragon Destiny
Rating 18
Contains strong violence, sex and sexualised images
Cut: 2m 49s - This work was cut. The cuts were compulsory
Cuts required to remove sight of an animated naked child presented in a sexualised manner, within a sexualised context, and which has the potential to encourage a sexual interest in children. Cuts made in line with BBFC Guidelines and policy, and the Video Recordings Act 1984.
That means the original version of Ikkitousen is probably illegal to own.

>illegal to own
Illegal to sell.
Do they just have a thing for K-on or something?
>>150063201
What the hell what possible innuendo is there in the K-on movie that got it rated higher?
Same with the other 'one use of discriminatory language' did someone dub in one of the girls calling Yui a retard or something like that. Wish it told you what words got the restricted.
