Dragonball Kai Massacred by Censors

Dragonball KAI = Dragonball FAI(L) and this is much as the fail Dragonball Evolution.A double whammy for the franchise.

If you'll also notice, the coloration on the picture above also looks better.

Just look at Goku's pants, and the sky!

gone are the days of low censorship for national tv

looks like something 4Kids would do...

I really hate this sort of "Western moralfication" of Japan that's been creeping up the last 15 years. It's like they feel they have to appeal to western tastes and market instead of theirs.

Fuckers.

Japan isn't what it used to be.

So Goku died with just a bruise on the abdomen and Razits(sp) killed without even a single wound or any drop of blood? How awesome is that..!?

If TV isn't censored who's going to buy the DVD ???

Damn these censor freaks... I hate them... Why must they censor every anime there is? They suck...

They're basically telling you to buy the DVD or just saying "tough luck".

failure.

No fucking way,4kids syndrome overseas!!!!!!!

Dragonball being massacred by censors? Have I somehow misclicked somewhere and landed at a page from the nineties? After all these years, have they learned nothing?

US censors are retarded, i dont see how taking out the blood will make it "more safe" for kids to watch, when there are two muscle men beating the everliving crap out of each other...

i swear, I dont see how censoring this kind of stuff will benefit ANYONE...

I read somewhere they were giving DBZ a few new scenes including something about child Goku, and they mentioned they were going to censor Goku's penis because they didn't want to draw it anymore. I laughed a little. Although, I'm thinking maybe they're not sure how parents will react to something like that nowadays, and so that's why they're censoring it? Is it possible they're all getting a bit too sensitive? Needless to say, it wasn't that much of a big deal back in the....was it the '80s? Those were good times...

To be honest, I was disappointed to read that--the penis thing, I mean--because it was that kind of stuff that gave Dragon Ball a certain innocent charm to it. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure a lot of you know what I mean.

I'm not entirely sure how this is relevant.

Lol i dont hate or love gore but i hate Censoring in ANY GENRE AND ANY MEDIA .....
And i thought i heared that Kai should be a uncensored Version of Dragon Ball .... This sucks !

So Japan is now getting more censor happy then america (for anime).

Well at least your Mr. Popo wasn't turned Blue.

gaijin taking over japan :/

Kai is shit anyway

Kai i shit anyway

nu dragonball is appoling the voices sounds lyk kids r talkin instead of adults -.-

money on uncuts. also, this will make things easier for the international market since the existence of a pre-edited version will probably keep companies from further screwing it up for tv.

and, if there aren't uncuts, i'll laugh at the fact that funimation's recent uncut boxsets being the best looking version of the show sans edits.

WHAAAAAT?! GOKU AND RADITZ AREN'T GORILY DISMEMBERED?!

...oh well. So be it.

This just in:
As of Episode 5 we've lost shota Gohan. His tail 'just so happens' to be at the right spot at the riht time.

Well then, time to go find some DragonBox singles.

They will release on blu-ray, after all this is 1080p. So I hope they don't do this shit there too. FUCK the kids and HARD. Yeah, I love lolis, so?

As far as I know, the editing of DB Kai closely follows what happened in the manga. In the manga, the death of Raditz and Gokou was not really bloody. In fact, the screenshot of Raditz and Gokou's deaths in DB Kai follows what happened in the manga.
While in DBZ in the early 90's, Toei added blood to that scene to make it more gruesome.
Hence, the editing of that scene in DB Kai is justified...

OH COME ON!!!

First the Ocean dub, then Funimation, and now THIS??!!

Haven't the DBZ anime suffered enough censorship as it is on both sides? Didn't DBZ learn its lesson from the ridiculous edits that Ocean and Funimation did here in the States?

Jeez, history is repeating itself again!

did everyone forget that the hd dvd version has already been released in the usa, completely uncensored and complete with japanese audio and english dubs.

stuff like this is making the show even more redundant than it already is. wasn't the point of this show to more faithfully adhere to toriyama's original concepts since what eventually hit televisions across the world was extremely censored, edited, and diluted with inane filler? sometimes i feel like i'm one of the last standing fans of the franchise and decisions like this make it harder and harder for me to defend the show to my peers.

Censoring a classic anime that probably being still shown somewhere out in Japan still?!!!

The balls on every producer in that company seems to be on full retreat now and they're all turning into little girls being shown a turd on a stick for the first time!

I remember Minmey taking that shower with the tits and I remember the blood splattering everywhere in DB. They can't destroy this classic now since it's everywhere on DVD so to Hell with those bastards if they think they can "clean" it up for contemporary audiences.

Same on you trying to act like Americans. But anyway what is this kids bullshit. When i was a kid i saw every fucking crazy staff out there(including DB with blood) and i turn up just fine. Wait a minute now that i think about it am completely fucked up. Holly shit to you think Dragonball did this to me?

Child-Goku's penis has also been censored in the previous episodes as well.

That's just gross. But I should've known better.

What wrong with the world nowadays not even showing a little blood...

i sure hope the subbers get there hands on teh uncensored versions soon

What is this the American version? Next we'll be seeing HELL changed to HFIL again.

Well that's really disappointing, i'm not sure I want to know what the rest will look like.

Well it's a kid's show so...
