Have you ever seen 4kid's one piece? I have never seen a great anime such as that turned into a worthles pile of garbage. I watched that as a kid and i actually said "this show is crappy garbage". Then mah friend told me to watch the jap one and i got addicted. But for me A KID they're audience to think they're show sucks...You know they fucked up.

Problem here is that the TV networks are afraid of getting sued by some group of femanazis or investigated by the FCC.

I dont think the main concern of the groups is the actual showing of skin its the objectification of women which is kinda dumb considering anime offten objectifies them far less than 90% of the MSM.

the other problem is the femanazis shouldn't be allowed to complain at all if you dont want your kids seeing it dont let them watch it its not that difficult its not like they go to school and watch this stuff its what they do in their free time or its what you let them do in their free time most of them flip on the TV to get the kids out of their hair if you are worried about what their watching then pay fucking attention better yet educate them. its not like thes shows are teaching them to have sex. which is more than i can say for alot of other shows on network tv.

Protip:treat your kids like they are mature, and teach them to be mature, and they will act mature.

okay im done rambaling if that made any sense then good if not then oh well

No...

It happens when Parental Liberals and Conservatives are busy pushing their morals because they say it is morally wrong. It'll happen so long as people don't use their brains and feel the need for law to step in for 'morals' and kids.

It's countries like these that start the false notion that anime is only for children. It's CARTOONS THAT ARE FOR CHILDREN, not anime.

From my perspective the reason the U.S doesn't censor violence but they censor nudity and language is due to conditioning. Nudity and foul language have no real practical use in society. But violence on the other hand does.

Based on this site: http://www.csun.edu/science/health/docs/tv&health.html [http://www.csun.edu/science/health/docs/tv&health.html] "The average child will watch 8,000 murders on TV before finishing elementary school. By age eighteen, the average American has seen 200,000 acts of violence on TV, including 40,000 murders."

My rational here is that all this violence on TV is to condition people starting in their youth to be desensitized to violence. This can be used as a practical application when recruiting for the military. Throw a person raised on american TV into a war and the sight of blood, death, violence can be tolerated by their mind. Throw a person who was not raised on TV's violence into a war and chances are good their mind won't be able to handle such violence and they will end up a vegetable or something, hence they would not make good soldiers.

Nudity and swearing don't have such practical applications that I can think of. So it's censored. If violence didn't have this practical use I am almost sure it would be censored as well. It's all about society's way of molding the minds of the people. ALL aspects of TV, not just violence has some from of subconscious conditioning. (whether it's intentional or not). I think violence in america has been around so long and is so common place that people accept is as normal. They don't even perceive it at a conscious level.

Usually networks have their own set of rules.
It's quite mixed up, and no one does the same thing twice.

I agree that "culture is not above criticism"
But people seem to focus on one as being the main problem. When every culture is different.

I think the point is that most are critical of the reluctance of US networks to approach sex; culture is not above criticism.

I really don't care.

If a DVD is uncut, then what are the complaints about? Even anime airing in Japan is censored. A manga to anime can completely cut out what was in the manga to make it suitable on TV.

Every country has their own standards for what can be show on television. To focus on one as the end all evil, is just stupid to me.

I like anime, just not enough to kick and scream about not being able to see animated boobs.
I can be disappointed with censorship or edits, but I will never be angry about it.

What annoys me, is that people think the anime airing on networks, are censored by the people who work on the network. And that isn't true.
Bandai bought the rights to CG - they are not editors or dubbers of the show. That is an entirely different studio.

CN doesn't give a crap about cleavage showing on daytime TV.

It's post like this that really show the stupidity of the anime fandom.

1) Adult Swim / Cartoon Network. Does not control the content of the shows they buy, they don't edit anything, they don't dub anything.

2) You're complaining about a blur? While the rest of the show is uncut?

3) What was the purpose of this blog entry?
How many "outraged" fans, actually intend to buy the DVD?

And this is the most worn out tired argument on the net, and I'm getting sick of it.

Gawd i remember looking up the japanese episode to see what i missed, because of the censorship and i remember the huge disappointment it gave me when i realized that there wasnt really anything under that blur. I felt like shooting adult swim right in the face.

they also cut out the scene right before it where the shot moves up Kallen's body. Instead you just see it freeze in place at her feet and you can tell it's a freeze then a cut of her head pops in and the scene continues. They also censored CC's in R2 in the first episode as she awakens Lelouch's memory.

Yeah, pixelated, making it pointless to watch there.

GMA? ABS? Forget them, everyone's going to TV5 now. TV5 utilized all 23 minutes properly, all the service we want, nothing cut down.

Even that NinaXTable-kun scene, they showed it in full view, uncut! xD Fucking amazing.

It is called "Adult" swim because the adults show to the children what they must see.
It is a slap to all the adults who see Cartoon Butchkwork.

Mmm puritanism. You can stab shoot and sometimes even decapitate someone but by god if someone flashes a nipple or says a dirty word.
