If you learned that Kite was originally envisioned as a non-pornographic anime, but the creator had no choice but to add in pornographic scenes at the behest of the production company, and that the non-pornographic cut it the closest to his original vision, would this change your answer to the above two questions?
yes 458 out of 1426 (32.1%)
umm, let me go back and change them now 89 out of 1426 (6.2%)
I already knew that, that's why I voted the way I did 389 out of 1426 (27.3%)
