The arrival of Youkai Watch to the USA has subjected the children’s anime to a wealth of truly preposterous censorship, with the exposed midriffs of bikini-clad girls and entire upper bodies of muscular men apparently being regarded as corrupting to young vulnerable minds.
The “heinous” censorship in question, with the original Japanese version above and the brutally censored US broadcast below where it belongs:

Kids see this kinda stuff at the beach all the time. So I fail to see the need for the censor.
Part of it is the censors being prudes, some of it is them playing it safe and trying to change anything that has even the SLIGHTEST chance of drawing parental complaints...
But most of it is apparently greed. Turns out that the censors get paid more depending on how much work they do, so they go out of their way to change as much as possible in order to get extra money.
(See One Piece, and the really strange edits like changing people's shirts, removing shadows, etc.)
I'm sure this is one of these.
Americans think that if you watch a bunch of muscled men you'll become gay
We live in the stupidest damn country in the world! Yet kids can watch a cow walking around with it's udders/boobs sticking out the most perverted sickest thing I ever saw! Or how about animals with damn wheels? WTF are we teaching our kids!
which is the most stupidest edit EVER!
And Japanese think that if you watch a bunch of muscled men you ARE gāy.
Unless they are rolling on the floor in short shorts putting each other in a choke hold. That is manly, but then again that type of display is usually pay-per-view.
Americans do that in Porn sites and don't even stop to wonder.
And meanwhile japan keeps censoring vaginas and penises in porn aimed at adults... what a world we live in.
Pretty sure the USA forced that on them back after they bombed those 2 places over in japan.
Took me a while to realize that the cook replaced the macho men. And that cook looks way more terrifying - the kind of stuff that'd probably give kids nightmares.
Good job. Not.
I'm guessing it was censored because they wanted this anime to be 4kids
Rofl
And this, this is why I download fansubs.
Fuck dubs, and fuck censorship.
Guess we can't take kids to the beach anymore either.
...I just masturbated to that hot chef. Rule34 when?!
xDDD
Fuck off.
I think he intends to.
Political correctness . .our way to human oblivion . . I guess after we're extinct some other species evolve and take over as the new predominant species and will one day have great debate on how F.U.B.A.R ( fucked up beyond all reason ) political correctness was for us until we fucked ourselves out of extinction .
Political correctness and feminism are ruining the world.
YAaa Murica!! Fuck YAh! Trump 2016!! Build the wall!! My grandparents didn't come all the way to this country to watch it get taken over by immigrants!!
...
Calm the fuck down. You're being so pathetically outrageous. You're only making the other side of the argument look better.
What the point of this Japanese kids can see this so why is it censored for Americans, I meant some of us went to a beach before so we seen women in bikinis.
Because of WhitePrivilege™ and RapeCulture™ we have to make sure that the Harassment of Women™ by CisHetWhiteMen™ is not perpetuated by the Oversexualization™ of womyn™ in the media. Especially without a TriggerWarning™.
Seeing WomenAsObjects™ can be very Triggering™ to PeopleOfColor™ due to the lack of diversity™, no RacialDiversity™ was in the nekomimi girls scene and no women are in the weight lifter's scene making women and girls into victims by displaying them as weak. Not only that, it makes womyn feel UnsafeInPublic™ (because reasons). Also, the FatShaming™ displayed in these scenes are OffensiveToOverweightPeople™ and show an UnrealisticBodyImage™ in general. The sheer amount of Microagressions™ is shameful and the show should be banned based on its Sexist™ Misogynistic™ tropes™.
basically, this is Problematic™
My brain broke after reading that. The sad thing is, this is how they actually speak.
Not trying to be a troll
But always wondered how you type that "Small TM" that is used for copyright (and I your case effective humor)
What keys do you hit to type said "Small TM"?
Thanks!
There is a letter to a dean of students or some other higher up of a college that reads almost exactly like that. Scary.
alt+2 is ™
alt+R is ®
alt+G is ©
Just remember (rarely) some site's blog sections freak out with some special characters, those 3 may not all work but fun as hell when they do. alt and alt+shift give you a lot of fun characters when mixed with other keys.
Thanks Buddy! That was a great help!
Now armed with these "copyright symbols", I can finally stop procrastinating and write that corporate cyberpunk thriller!
Look at Yale after Halloween, there is your answer.
Consider how the impact was that Pam Anderson and Schwarzenegger had on American education. Then it becomes clear.
They'll do this, but we're told they can not edit lip flaps due to contract issues?
Go climb a wall of dicks....
NoA has been terrible lately with the censoring. Look at everything they've been doing to Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I fear for the new Fire Emblem.
Nintendo being the worst localization company again.
They're 4kids level retarded
and this here is why there is absolutely no one that is watching the US version unless your a little kid and the more wiser otakus will just watch the unedited fansub version.
Nintendo being the worst localization company again.
They're 4kids level retarded
as expected of the company that fucked mortal kombat
would you want to go around the water slide with a shirt and pants instead of a swimsuit?
Brock is that you? At least you found work after Pokémon.
2015 and they are still pulling this shit?
Makes no sense considering the cartoons we have here now have sexual refrences and bikinis all the time, must be a publisher thing, stupid to blame the "U.S." for what one company does.
these censors are context breaking...
I never knew Brock also used steroids.
They want to cover up women, to make them wear the burqua, and want to take away anything that might act as a masculine rolemodel to boys. I fear this is what happens if you censor based on feminist ideals.
Oh look, another game I can afford to boycott because I'm already drowning in proper games.
That's the anime not the game numbnuts.
4kids returns with a bloody vengeance I see.
Looks like the Censorship Squad is running outta ideas! Oh my... Here's a list to level up the madness
The CSS need to censor:
-Wet T-Shirts
-Lolis completely from head to feet
-Teared parts of clothes
-The words Sex,Sexy,Sexual,and SEX
-Feet. i'd figure since it is now a common fetishe. The viewer may fap just about seeing someone take off it's shoe.
-Water and fluids. No wetness no problem!
SENSOR EVERYTHING!!!
------And so the Battle for Uncensoring began.
Well at least they censored the men. You know they would've gotten a lot of shit if it were just the women.
And this is called the land of the free. I supposed in the land of the repressed, anime censors you, then....
The Censorship is free of charge.
not really, you have to pay to get those alternative images and animation!
