This unfortunate image of the state of Kallen‘s breasts in the Japanese DVD and TV versions of Code Geass, versus the American TV version, illustrates that although the currently popular tactic of censoring TV broadcasts to provide something cheap and saucy to put on the DVD is odious enough, at least nobody in Japan has any serious moral objections to oppai on their screens…
Semi-uncensored Code Geass goes along these lines, certainly tame, but unlikely to sit well with US broadcasters:
Perhaps American broadcasters will one day find a place for such material? Probably not?
Crazy americans.
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.
“Cartoons are for children” Have you not seen South Park or Venture Brothers or Rick and Morty?
You must be quite retarded.
USA = open-minded hypocrites
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.

So why is it amusing for people to see Japanese censor anime, yet this is enough to cause you all to spaz like a cat on acid?
thank gawd I’m not an otaku.
What are you talking about? Do you like censored anime?
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.
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.
