Nadia fans have been decrying NHK’s decision to censor its rerun of the classic show’s much prized 12th episode by airbrushing out the African princess’s nipples.
The “HD remaster” vs the original – excessively observant fans have pointed out that NHK even butchered its own hackjob, as her left nipple is still visible in the enlightened 21st century edition:

That wasn't a nipple, it was a mole. She had it removed better safe than sorry.
since when is a mole life threatening...
Not sure if trolling, or incredibly stupid.
Probably both.
Since cancer.
Oh noes! A body part! Censor it! Skin! Censor it! Save the children!
Actually, when I was a kid, I had a book that showed genitals to explain what genders were. Somehow I think I survived. I get the feeling that almost 100% of the human population gets by just fine, even though they have sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics (I downgrade from 100% because there are some out there who don't... perhaps .0001% or somesuch... kinda freakish if you asked me).
Sex is a part of the human condition.
Wonder when they're gonna start airbrushing out belly buttons.
They'll start with Busou Renkin, since the main girl in that was so shy about her belly button.
Its non-sexual nudity, why did they bother? I could see someone censoring HS DxD, or a bunch of other ones that came out recently and fill time with too much pointless nudity, but this actually served a purpose.
So they can make people buy the blu... oh wait.
lulz
Because either its been sent to America and they have sexual issues here like Japanese have rice cakes or way to much chrisitan propaganda is seeping into japanese life.
No it's because things changed a lot since the 80's, for the worse and this is proof.
The word of the day is Lazy
Why did they even bother. It's a fucking dot.
Nipple fucking where??
Nipple fucking would be nice.
You must be crazy if lazy = airbrush something off that doesn't need to be removed.
More like overzealous.
It's NHK, the Japanese equivalent to the US's PBS (Public Broadcast System). PBS shows folk singing, documentaries about the American Civil War and such. I'd be surprised if they didn't censor every little thing.
The also have trips to Africa on PBS Travel where they don't censor the boobs of the natives.
Not much more ridiculous than this, actually... ~~
That would be pretty ridiculous if they do that...
great, it started, now they begin to censure old anime, one step more and they ban them
Doesn't surprise me. Nadia's whole history is a tragedy of executive meddling. It wasn't supposed to be longer than 26 episodes, but the network demanded more because the initial episodes had proved so popular.
I understand why. Up until around episode 8, Nadia is some of the best anime I've ever seen. If only they had left it alone.
However, despite Anno's objections, they were forced to stretch it out with the godawful and hideously badly animated "Nadia's Island" filler arc, and production actually had to be halted for a time because the budget ran dry. It ruined the show as a whole, and sent Anno into a depression - out of which was born, ironically, Evangelion.
Im surprised to hear about news of Nadia. I loved that anime. It was like Eureka 7 except there wasn't any mecha and the main guy was way more resourceful and likable than Renton.

your comment is just about the same as your last one.
Nadia is a great series, worth watching with or without nipples.
That wasn't a nipple, it was a mole. She had it removed better safe than sorry...
sed simmering down.
looks like you've
HAHAHAHAHA nipple FAIL! Girl's nipple's are pink, hahaha.
Not on dark skinned girls.
@anon 08:35 - Nadia is from the African continent. Natives of that area have dark nipples (at least, my African former girlfriend had dark nipples... and, counterintuitively, it is possible for Africans to get a sunburn.)
preparing for your graceful retreat?
Welcome to NHK...
que mla que esteen quitando lalo que hacia especial a ese anime
Well thats only the areole I dont see a nipple per say.
As Japan continues to try and outdo the US in uber-conservative prudishness, I can only hope that I escape to Canada before it goes completely to shit.
Canada, eh? Did you know they're even worse over here in Canada with that moral bullshit? Some people were even arrested over here for owning some freaking drawings!
I just checked that scene on my copy of the show and, wow, seriously, if you didn't know about that nipple and weren't LOOKING for it, you'd never notice at all, it goes by so fast.
N.H.K. ni Yokoso!
Moralfags, moralfags everywhere.
By no stretch of the imagination could that be called anyway.
Brown girls are the best.
Correction, Little brown girls are the best.
NOT THE NIPPLES! ANYTHING BUT THE NIPPLES!
Nipples or no nipples, man, I miss this style of art and animation. :(
I disagree. The art style and the animation in this series is absolute garbage compared to the awesome shows these days.
indeed. we're in the era of moeblob crap, and sadly that shit is practically everywhere now.
Didn't you know ?
"We are the Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile."
That's how today's anime shows are.
This show does a good job of beating down just about every other popular anime. Gotta admit, when I first saw it a few years ago, I did pause and rewind for this scene, heh.
Shinji looks a lot happier since he changed his sex and got a tan.
>changed his sex
I'm not sure what you mean here
Nadia and Shinji have a very similar facial design. Change the hair, lighten the skin and lose the earrings.
Sort of like JC Staff recycling character designs for Louise from ZNT, Taiga from Toradora!, and Shana from Shakugan No Shana, etc.
You dont say? No friend, your sarcasm detector need repairs, what the other anon said is that Shinji didnt changed sex, (s)he was a pussy from the start...
