Where to find it uncensored

Uncensored DVDs and VHS were released worldwide; in America, these strangely enough were released with the same TV-14 or an even lower 13-and-up recommendation than the Adult Swim broadcast. Versions that are streaming from FUNimation's website, Hulu, and formerly Netflix are also uncensored.
