Yep, Article 175 of the Criminal Code of Japan prohibits the selling and owning of content featuring genitalia, even in Porn.  |
 |
| Because contrary to what weebs told you, censorship of nudity and violence exists in Japan. |

| The censorship is pointless, but is it surprising there is a law that makes no sense? |
| Because of Japan stupid laws and I hate it. |
 |
| Am I the only one who doesn't mind censoring? An uncensored throbbing cock spanning across my entire screen is something I'd rather not be seeing |

| The real question is, why are some hentai censored and some aren't? |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas |
| because the uncensored hentai ovas back then were released in the west by central park media and media blasters and hentai back then was just an anime ova just with more sex and it was as good or even more well made than actual anime (ex words worth and urotsukidoji) |
| Japan has stict rules against showing penis some reason. Even Japanese porn is censored.. Just deal with it |
 |
| However it amuses me HOW they sometimes cencor things in some Manga. Sometimes they put just a veeery small black or white strip on genitalias and you still can see everything. |

Man junk is terrible to look at. |

 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| This law doesn't make any sense and it just have the opposite effect. Look at western porn, the most fucked up shit that they make is incest and adults that looks like teens, in the other hand Japanese porn has the most fucked ul shit that you can ever see in porn, from rape to gruesome torture and pedophilia, just to show how the dumbness of governments is unlimited. |

Akira_18 said: Tropisch said: The real question is, why are some hentai censored and some aren't? Pretty valid question My best guess: Licensing. Hentai that's soul outside of Japan doesn't have to deal with that restriction, so shows that get licensed out to a distributor such as Kitty Media/Media Blasters can sell those shows uncensored. Though, I'm guess that said distributor has to produce an English dub as part of the terms; at least, based on my observations though buying hentai. deg said: Tropisch said: The real question is, why are some hentai censored and some aren't? some are leaks straight from Japan but most uncensored hentai are licensed by other countries such as USA and Germany but this days only German companies do some licensing of uncensored hentai due to very low market demand for it like i mean who pays for cartoon porn anyway? People like me who collect anime DVDs and Blu-rays and have ideas for HMVs. |

Ocat1234 said: However it amuses me HOW they sometimes cencor things in some Manga. Sometimes they put just a veeery small black or white strip on genitalias and you still can see everything. That's actually doujin artists taking advantage of a loophole in the censorship law, as those lines technically count as censorship since they obscure just the minimal amount. Hentai's been around for a long time, long enough for artists to figure out these things. |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
Fate_Saber88 said: Their culture didn't have those components until a certain occupying country imposed these censorship laws on them in the late 1940s. As with so many other things especially these days, blame the USA. There have been more recent efforts to revisit and possibly repeal the law, but it'll be an uphill battle:Because Japan has stupid laws regarding obscenity. The Japanese have a shame culture. Penises and vaginas make them ashamed. OnTakahashi said: It will be political suicide for politicians to be seen supporting "the perverts" who want "uncensored kiddy porn" (The media will focus on Shota/loli for the headlines). While Freedom of expression is a big thing in the US, "suppressing your expression" is JP culture. ** Finding "allies" to fight for uncensored porn will be extremely hard, considering the "cost" of supporting it. Anyone expressing support online will be doxxed hard by the PTA and other groups. That's a "Big sacrifice" for seeing a dick without pixels. deg said: Answerman said: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2016-07-13/.104191In recent years, web savvy fans in Japan realized that they were getting a bum deal compared to fans overseas, who didn't have to deal with the censorship. They started importing uncensored American hentai DVDs, and not buying or renting the super-expensive Japanese discs. So the hentai producers decided not to allow the uncensored masters to be published overseas anymore. Most publishers balk at this, and don't want to proceed with licensing it. Another component of that is that overseas sales were falling as well, due to illegal downloads and streams. So the Japanese licensors were seeing less money coming in from overseas than they were losing from the domestic market, and thus it no longer became a net benefit to license uncensored hentai overseas. Just one of the many ways that piracy and companies collapsing cause material damage to the anime viewerbase's experience of consuming anime. |
| I don’t like hentai and couldn’t care less about it’s censorship it’s just funny to me personally how much some people are afraid of human anatomy. |
 |
| To make it less disgusting.... or to make people pay for the uncensored version. |

AnimeDownUnder said: Hey I was just wondering why some hentai is censored, is there an actual reason why they censor it? i'm assuming anyone watching hentai is already a legal adult and nudity shouldn't be a problem so why censor hentai for adults. Curious to know if there's an underlying reason like maybe something to do with laws in japan Same reason Japan censors real-life porn. |
Tropisch said: The real question is, why are some hentai censored and some aren't? Any hentai or pornography that is produced in Japan is censored. If you are finding uncensored or decensored Japanese pornography it's likely to have been produced or revised outside of Japan. |

Tropisch said: The real question is, why are some hentai censored and some aren't? The uncensored ones are rips from DVDs/Blu-rays/etc. that were released outside of Japan. |

ACBlackJ0ck said: Ah thanks finally it answers my curiosity why when I watch JAV porn they censor cunt and dick from porn stars.Yep, Article 175 of the Criminal Code of Japan prohibits the selling and owning of content featuring genitalia, even in Porn. |

| "Dumb law" states, that any genitalia MUST be censored even in pornography. Law does not state to what extent, so we have weird mosaic, which barely censors anything. |
