I think FT(2014) showed how far they can take it. It works for them. It might fare less in Japan if they suddenly change up the system for the final run.

I mean, the Zero OP is a good example. It had the loli nude-hug in it, but said scene was censored in the actual episode, thus causing a mindf**k among ani-only fans, who then had to go and look at the OP again. :P

Then again, if a possible new studio takes over and ups the style of Bridge that included blood and some amount of gore, then we may have an unbelievable moment in anime history where 3 different runs were by 3 different studios(with A-1 still there of course) for 3 different age groups despite adapting the very same manga. :D
