Dance in the Vampire Bund Follow-Up
Ok, guys. I’m sure it’s been an exciting few days for everyone. I mostly have only been able to just watch as the internet caught on fire, so it’s good to bring some more information out to you all. A few of you may have already read this, but for those who haven’t, here is our official statement regarding concerns on the “Dance in the Vampire Bund” edit. Fun times.
In the days since we announced the acquisition of the anime “Dance in the Vampire Bund,” we have been following the varied responses from within the anime community to our decision to edit specific scenes from its streaming and later home entertainment release.
First, out of concern for our distribution partners and advertisers, we will continue to make minor edits to the episodes which are available via free streaming and television broadcast due to the readily accessible nature of these platforms. We will be careful to keep such edits to a minimum.
However, FUNimation is – as always – committed to bringing the best anime content to the United States in its unedited form on home video.
Therefore, we are evaluating the release of the series in unedited and uncensored form for home video. Since only 7 episodes have broadcast in Japan, final determination must be reserved until all episodes can be reviewed to ensure compliance with current U.S. law.
We would like to thank everyone in the anime community for the feedback provided to us on this matter–your opinions count.

Another anime fan that will gladly pay for the unedited version. Will not waste my money on a even slightly censored version.
