Siren Visual Entertainment had this hentai DVD banned in May 10th 2006. A censored version was re-submitted, but on March 21st 2007 this too was banned.
It was eventually passed R18+ (High Level Animated Sex Scenes) on April 27th 2007. This version has been censored twice since the original submission.
Thanks to Grant for this look at the censored DVD.
I thought that you may be interested in some more details about the Siren release of SPOTLIGHT. The DVD is censored, and although I have not seen the uncut version I can guess what is missing.
The disc is made up of two episodes. These are titled SPOTLIGHT: BETWEEN THE REALMS OF DESIRE AND ENVY. Episode one runs 25:48, and two runs 29:44. This obviously points to episode one being censored.
The problem scene in question is where Masaki gives Yuna and Erica a 'Special Lesson'. In the Siren version it runs from 3:26 to 4:34 and consists of him telling the two girls that they are worthless compared to Saori. The scene ends with one of them giving him a blow job. From reading a couple of reviews it seems that Masaki ties the girls up, humiliates and rapes them. He then apologises and they beg him to do it to them again. Interestingly, the end credits show various reprise scenes from the preceding episode. Between 23:01 to 23:16 they shown Yuna and Erica laying one the ground with dildos protruding between their legs. Also the U.S Trailer featured as an extra shows another shot missing from the film. At the 10s point it shows naked rear shots of Yuna and Erica with their hands tied behind their backs.
Presuming that this is the only cut scene, and that episode one should run around the same as two, then we could be looking at around four minutes of missing footage. The only way to confirm would be to get run times for the 2004 Critical Mass DVD release.
