Facebook has banned the trailer of 「おみおくり~Sending Off~」 from being used in advertising after deeming it to be “shocking, sensational, or excessively violent content. DocumentingIan has responded by re-editing the trailer to include a statement which reads in part: Death is hard to talk about, let alone watch, but thinking about how we want to die has the potential to change the way we live. More about this story and links to both the original and updated versions of the 「おみおくり~Sending Off~」trailer can be found on the DocumentingIan Blog.
