Funimation has confirmed that it will release Strike Witches uncut on DVD, following the streaming premiere of the 2007 smash hit from the moribund Gonzo anime production house this past weekend on the Funimation video portal.

Funimation had initially streamed the uncensored episodes online last weekend, but later replaced them with the edited TV versions after receiving feedback and complaints regarding the content.

This should serve to calm the more rabid fans who usually scream “ZOMG CENSORSHIP” due to ignorance and lack of common sense.
