Ascendant Animation Blu-Rays going from censored to uncensored?

Hi there, 

So they're correct in that reddit post. Originally, Uncensored versions didn't even exist of the shows. Due to some behind the scenes stuff, they were able to take the pixelations off for the Oceanveil Streaming service. The BL never had genitalia, so there's nothing there even if we wanted it. The blu-rays are still uncut, so there are still mosaics there, unless specifically mentioned that it's uncensored. We're working on getting the uncensored versions of the shows for bluray release but it's a long process. We thank you for your support of our little indie company.

Streaming news:

Netflix’s ‘Devil May Cry’ Turns Dante’s Story Into Allegory For War On Terror, Complete With American Invasion Of Hell Set To Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’
   As expected, they butchered Lady’s character
      In order to make sure she isn’t outshined by Dante compared to the games
         The whole thing completely cucks Dante
      It’s the most predictable design imaginable
         At least they didn’t shave the side of her head
            Her design is not even inspired by her game outfits
               And just forget fan service
         But they lost all subtlety in keeping her feminine
   Demons are just misunderstood
      Just like Orcs
         Donate to save a Demon
            Demon Lives Matter
               You don’t get to say people are racist and then equate minorities to Demons
                  How is it a Hate Crime if you Love doing it?
         This subversion completely destroys the backbone of the franchise
            Demons are just like Minorities!
               Hilarious messaging that the left constantly tries to make Demons the good guys
   The tone of the invasion feels completely different with the right music
      Why the fuck are the demons wearing turbans?
   Leftist automatically like things they think you will hate
      They will consume whatever shit exists if they think it will make you mad
         But Leftists can’t like something made by a Trump supporter
   We’re all just Demon bigots
      Adi Shankar says his show isn’t anti-religion

   ∟Devil May Cry Season 2 Plans Confirmed
      Netflix actually did it..
         Adi Shankar’s Tweet
            Asmongold is totally on board
               Adi Shankar treats him like a bro
   Their marketing for this show is so cringe
      They labeled him as the CREATOR
         Adi Shankar didn’t feel the need to correct them
            And the cringe inducing marketing ploy continued
   ∟Netflix’s ‘Devil May Cry’ Producer Says His Goal Was To Capture “The Essence” Of Series’ Characters Rather Than “The Experience Of Playing The Games”
      He claims to not have changed Lady whatsoever
         Betraying Dante is not making her the same character
            Devil May FUCKING Cry
      He also said his goal was not to dilute it into generic nonsense
      Devil Trigger didn’t even come into the games until DMC 5
         They’ve done the same cringe to Vergil
            People love Vergil as the greatest villain in games
               You guessed it, Adi Shankar thinks he is misunderstood
                  To be an anti-hero, you have to be the main character
                     Power is Heroism, stupid plebs
