But what about the nudity? I hear it is optically removed. Is it much a distraction? Unfortunately Japanese discs cannot show below the waist nudity.

I'd have to rewatch them again (I know... twist my arm), but I don't recall a lot of blurring, which surprised me. There may have been a few scenes where the farm hand's penis is blurred, but the Japanese have gotten their blurring down to an artform - instead of some big blurry circle, they now blur literally the penis itself. Even so, let me rewatch and specifically look for censoring.

3 quick questions....

1. Does the Japanese release have english subtitles?
2. Is there censoring?
3. Will these play in a US - Region A player?

No
Yes, but only a few seconds in each film and it's just man balls. The woman's parts are not censored, all you see is bush though.
Yes, as Japan is region A.

Just played my AU FFF and I'm not impressed. It's blurry, even with sharpening I can't do much with it. It's also 1080i, not 1080p!
How about the JPN version, is it sharp, can you post a frame capture? Is it 1080p?

Just got the Japan disc and it's in focus. Definitely worth it if you like this movie.

See comparison here. Big difference!

Unfortunately, these are both out of print. BLOOD FOR DRACULA goes for $153.00 (!) on amazon.co.jp right now.
