This Topic is pretty complicated.

First, about still Images :
Of course the Original Image can not be restored in full Quality,
because the Mosaic Effect causes loss of Information.
A possible way to make it look better...
Did you notice that Thumbnails of censored Hentai often looks uncensored ?
Thats the Key.
I'm not good at Image Manipulation, but the following should work :
- measure the size of one Mosaic Block, example : 4 pixels
- select the Mosaic Area
- create a Layer from Selection
- scale it down by the Size of a Mosaic Block, in my example by 4
- scale it up to Original Size, use the best possible Interpolation
The Result will be very blurry, but it may be less ugly than Mosaic
For a perfect result, use Paint Tools and retouch the Image.

Now about Video... things get interesting
The Method described above works on Video, too -
but doing it frame by frame will take 100 years,
and there might be a better Solution.
It should be possible to detect the Mosaic Area using a custom Program
and convert all the Mosaic to a blurry Mess.
IMHO, this is still better than the Flickering Mosaic, because it looks more natural.
But there is more - a Video is not just a Stack of many Images,
there is Movement of Camera, zoom and Movement of Actors and Objects.
This could be used to extract more Information - dont forget the Mosaic is Flickering.
I'm still learning about this Topic, there is some interesting Stuff on the Web.
A few Links :

Sure, there is no ready-to-use Solution, but it can be done. Not perfect, but less ugly.

it seems imposible since theres no standard for mosaic, it is done randomly if im not wrong..
here in japon if they find you videos without censoring send you to the jail
there are 2 models of devices to remove the mosaic for 10 years earlier they sell it but secretly because it is punished by jail
and only you find it in the city of akihabara I live in japon through 24 years
sorry my english is 10%
