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:

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.
The word of the day is Lazy
Why did they even bother. It's a fucking dot.
Nipple fucking where??
You must be crazy if lazy = airbrush something off that doesn't need to be removed.
More like overzealous.
Nipple fucking would be nice.
So they can make people buy the blu... oh wait.
lulz
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.
That would be pretty ridiculous if they do that...
Not much more ridiculous than this, actually... ~~
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.
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...
So much for a dot.
PS: NOT dota btw!
what nipples??
This is another reason why AT-X is the best station for Anime.
Do you know that AT-X. is a subsidiary of TV Tokyo Medianet, which means that it is a subsidiary of TV Tokyo ? Which means: "What we cannot censor, we will broadcast it there".
That it unforgivable!!
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.
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.
Nipples or no nipples, man, I miss this style of art and animation. :(
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.
I disagree. The art style and the animation in this series is absolute garbage compared to the awesome shows these days.
By no stretch of the imagination could that be called anyway.
Moralfags, moralfags everywhere.
it was just a brown dot, plus everyone knows Africans dont look that hot, more like Mr. Popo from Dragonball, or the cave man from the Geico commercials.
get off ur ass and see ALL of africa before u make dumbass claims of how all of them look (north, south east, west and central all have distinct features just like asia, ass hat)
She looks more like a Egyptian princess... and Egypt is in Africa!
NOT THE NIPPLES! ANYTHING BUT THE NIPPLES!
Brown girls are the best.
Correction, Little brown girls are the best.
Still surprised Gainax hadn't bought, or tried to buy, all the rights to Nadia and milk the crap out of it with products and revamps like they do with Eva.
Yeah seriously. I found out about Nadia (and Gainax) BECAUSE Eva was so popular and I wanted to see what else the studio had done.
I'm convinced they have a natural gas leak in their writers' studio they refuse to fix because it's the source of their creative inspiration.
Indeed, Nadia would make a great remake... at least would if Gainax still had the team that did Tengen...
Maybe they realized they succeded in doing a series with a decent ending, so they couldn't ruin in any way.
A Death Note fan talking about ruin things? Don't make me laugh.
Can you tell me your name, please ? I must try my new pen, and I have no idea what to write with it...
Wow, I didn't even remember this. But maybe the version I saw was censored too.
Is the censoring in these pics only from a TV broadcast or is that BD-box they released also censored?
I can't recall this either.
Having said that, I don't remember if I watched this as a fansub or ADV's release, or even if it was VHS or not. But I'm sure I would have remembered Nadia's nipples regardless.
It would be better if they air it on AT-X...
