Pink Pineapple stop US distribution??

[hakufu]

Yeah censored stuff are much better than censored one. So as EchelonV said that japanese people wait for US distribution to buy uncensored stuff so that shows that japanese people want stuff like that:fadeba1b: so why the gouverment keeps the censorship? tradition, i think....but as i read articles provided by DocWatson the censorship of hentai will not disepear for for long time ahead so.... what a pity

OTOH, PinPai's older back catalog [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

(While I have not seen it, from its reputation this should be a good title for those who like "normal" and romantic hentai.

• [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (previously released by NuTech as [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]; I expect the second series will follow.)

Note that this is the first time that Dōsōkai Yesterday Once More has been officially released in Region 1. MB/Kitty Media has been re-releasing old Pink Pineapple titles (ones which NuTech originally put out) fairly steadily, but this is one of the few times recently that I can recall when they have an "original" older PinPai title. (I'm hoping for [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and its sequel, along with the Doukyuusei / Kakyuusei metaseries (e.g., [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]).)

Non-PinPai series mentioned in the news:

• [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
• [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Note that from the running time, the collection will (still) not include the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

Not exactly I don't think. But like most subbing, it's just up to normal people and groups out there whether or not they'll sub their stuff. :(

some of those are quiet bad quality... but some are actually better then the official. ;)

An update on the Japanese importation side of porn:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (PDF; see note 1 on page 2) so that the Customs Law/Customs Duties Law (関税法, "Kanzei Hou"), Law No. 61 of 1954 (specifically Article 69, paragraph 11 (第六十九条の十一)), became the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] which [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

(Thanks to AnimeNations's sazaemon for pointing this out. Unfortunately, while I found a full copy of the 1997 version, I was unable to dig up a translated copy of the up-to-date law—only the partial Customs version linked above.)

While researching the update, I came across [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]; I have yet to check to see if I can access it at one of the local college libraries, but I found the abstract rather amusing in its bluntness:

This essay serves as an historical introduction to the problem of film censorship in Japan, a country which, despite an often liberal sexual history, continues to impose baffling and even irrational censorship standards on both its domestic and imported cinema. However, whereas sexual censorship in the West is often the result of religious dogmatism, Japanese film censorship may in fact revolve around political struggles whose import is not the censoring of offensiveness per se, but is rather authoritarianism's basic yet desperate desire to assert itself in an increasingly liberal political climate. Furthermore, Japanese censorship has had the unique side effect of creating safe spaces of sexual fantasy (for children, for example) that most countries, in what is in fact a greater form of censorship, refuse to create at all.

I don't really get it, why do humans fight so much again they own nature? -_- All of them is hypocrite.
