Media Blasters CEO John Sirabella explained his company's decision to excise a ten-minute scene from the release of the hentai video, Legend of the Pervert (Chikan Monogatori) with a post on the Anime on DVD Website where he noted that '...scenes were removed and we were thinking of not releasing it at all but could not give it back as it was too late. The characters were obviously under-age and it was too much for us. I am a chicken**** when it comes to going to jail and I am not going for this title. In the future we will review these (titles) a lot more closely, maybe we can convince someone else to release this one for us uncut.'
Sirabella also noted that as a matter of policy, Media Blasters does not like to censor the hentai (erotic anime) titles that it releases under its Kitty Media label -- so much so that he refused to license the Enzai anime because the Japanese producers would only provide a censored version, but evidently the scenes in Legend of the Pervert involved characters that were obviously too young. Some fans posting on the Anime on DVD board agreed that the characters appeared too young, but most disagreed with Media Blaster's actions arguing that the anime's characters aren't real people and that therefore laws about depicting underage sex do not apply, and that Media Blasters was also at fault for not indicating on the packaging that the Legend of the Pervert had been censored.
In a review on the Anime on DVD site, Chris Beveridge, who does not in general favor censoring adult only anime, found the cut version of Legend of the Pervert highly enjoyable and professed that he would 'hate to think of missing it.'
