It looks as though Dragonball anime Dragonball Kai is receiving some less than welcome revisions in the form of the removal of shattered bodies spurting blood, something sure to disappoint gore-hungry fans.
Such wanton violence may no longer be acceptable, at least on normal TV broadcasts.
Perhaps it will reappear in the DVD release?

"Perhaps it will reappear in the DVD release?" I hope so, 'cuz if not...
Censorship looks lulzy (´∀`)
NOOOOOOO! And the first episode looked promising. FUCK CENSORING!!
Well it's a kid's show so...
fuck the kids
Listen to this man.
In all seriousness they most probably un-censor everything in the DVDs; if they don't well... original version ftw!
Raep the lolis!
Listen to this man.
This man is a GENIUS! A GENIUS I SAY!!
I second this.
Amen, Brotha!!!
thirded!
words of wisdom in the most literal sense.
agreed,only three word were needed solve the problem
kill yourself pedophile.
no u
Indeed.
pfft real men watch dbz, just like real men watch sailormoon
.
.
and like it
This man.
"Fuck the kids."
This will be my new motto.
wel originaly it isnt a kids show... thats why there IS gore... but well it got censored and, at least in my country, we all watched it (butnthats almost i dunno.. 10 years? at least 7 or so) so.. thats a bit late, isnt it?
No it is not
Well that's really disappointing, i'm not sure I want to know what the rest will look like.
Why do this to me...
Well its like... Uhm 100 episodes ?
Maybe theyll cut whole arcs because they are too violent now ?
(Long Krillin-Torture-Scene with Freeza comes to mind... )
Marketing at its best though... Getting newer+younger kids into that show, and (hopefully) pleasing old fans with "no censored" dvd/bluray releases...
Double Profit !
how about the whole Freeza and namek arc, since freeza and his goons are just killin' people for no real reason...except to look for balls XP
Plus dont alot of them get cut in half, etc,etc :P
when it was aired in my country several years ago, they censored the blood away, but left the rest.. and they didnt censor freezer beeing cut in two halves by trunks... and i think there was still some *blood spilling from mouth*, whats ain almost every anime i think...
I'll stick to the 4:3 low definition classic.
What is this the American version? Next we'll be seeing HELL changed to HFIL again.
and mr satan being hercule
i sure hope the subbers get there hands on teh uncensored versions soon
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?
Dragon Ball and Hamburger. But mostly Dragon Ball, yes.
No, you're just an idiot.
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.
Minmay? Don't you mean Bulma? Don't mix up the greatness of macross with this.
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.
Child-Goku's penis has also been censored in the previous episodes as well.
What wrong with the world nowadays not even showing a little blood...
But your avatars nosebleeds are quite often showed XD.
That's just gross. But I should've known better.
Fail censors are fail
On a side note, i think dbz and all its violence when i was so young, made the sick, twisted, and diturbed person i am today...oh wait, no, that was the internet...
4CHAN >____>
Sankakucomplex made me the dangerous sexual predator i am today :D
You shall proceed to kill yourself for this comment.
I think the recent trend in anime has been to offer uncensored versions to boost DVD sales, but this seems to point more torwards a shift to "cleaner" tv programs.
Goku died already?
censoring? fuck that time to drop this show
What the hell happened in Japan? in the 80's censorin was a rare word. I mean, see Hokuto no Ken, Fandora, DBZ(not Kai) today there are only pussies
Hokuto No Ken was totally censored in Japan 20 years ago. All death were black on red background.
Only the 1968 movie was really gore, but it was half censored with some rather strange computer effects and shinny blood.
don't care, it's kind of a petty thing to worry about. blood doesn't make a scene all of a sudden "super cool!" or "more mature".
tell that to censorers.
don't you mean all the people whining? because they seem to understand that.
Jeebus. They'll air barely legal fanservice shit like Kanokon and Strike Witches with no problem, but can't spare a little blood in Dragonball.
Something is definitely wrong with this picture, Japan. Please look into it.
