ITT: Censorship
Eat your cheeseburgers, Apollo.
that's not censorship, that's terrible localization
Thank you 4Kids for saving us from Japanese culture.
>>155963153
Why did they do this?
>>155963153
The worst thing is that the rest of the world must deal with the American version.
I fucking love doughnuts.
>>155963153
>>155963394
The worst thing is that kids have to deal with the anime, get baited the MC will achieve his goals, and crush their dreams with his inevitable defeat.
>>155963153
this isn't real
>>155963400
>watching OG Yu-Gi-Oh anime
READ THE MANGA.
>>155963153
My favourite part isn't that they replaced the riceball, it's that the sub rolls down the hill perfectly intact.

Holy shit what was the fucking point. Hitler must have been rolling in his grave while seeing that.

>>155963739
>That soldier
I don't even understand
>>155963550
>>155963633
Ironic how the German's censor violence in kids shows to create a more peaceful society, only to get bombed and run over by immigrants and terrorists.
>>155963633
>>155963550
>>155963400
Can you not show weapons on cartoons in the west or what the fuck happened here?
>>155963783
Well, she was a creepy entity to begin with, I recall vividly peeing from terror when I was 7 and read through the original Moomins with illustrations, especially the Comet book. Fuck, it was creepy. And I recall the book ended due to damage when they met that multi-legged thing in a cave. Fucking fuck, creepy shit, it's the Junji Ito of Eurofagia's late 80's chilshood trauma.
>>155963918
>Germany
>the west
>>155963739
for what purpose
>>155963907
>to create a more peaceful society
I doubt that's the point when the same kids can just change the TV channel and watch a crime film.
>>155963946
>Germany and the US aren't the west
Australia, please.
>>155963400
Heh he even wears the american flag
>>155963550
>>155963633
This can't be real.
Please tell me this isn't real.
Kami-sama, please.
>>155963995
>and the US
???
>>155964055
It is very real, and makes very little sense.
>>155964055
It's really fucking weird that it got censored in such a ridiculous way, especially considering that other shows with way more violence than Naruto (like the original Hellsing anime) didn't get censored on german TV.
>>155964129
One of the censor screenshots is from the US version. The one that removed the fun.
>>155964055
Of course it isn't real, they're just silly little edits. Half-assed ones at that
>>155964196
What does Naruto get these retarded censors in so many countries?
>>155964196
WHAT
THE
FUCK
Makes me wonder what One Piece would've looked like to casuals if 4kids didn't get their hands on it.
>>155963394
Mexico here, we use the japanese version.
>>155963400
>USA, guns everywhere
>But can't show guns in cartoons
???
>>155964249
You got baited son
I like seeing these new shocked reactions to reposts from 2006.
>>155963918
Germany has pretty strong censorship over weapons. Guess they don't want kids taking after their great grandaddies.
>>155964420
>Remembering /a/ from ELEVEN (11) years ago
>>155964513
I'm german, 28 years old.
When I was a kid the few anime shows I watched on TV weren't censored. And it's not like they censor weapons in all the other shit that airs on TV today, so I really don't see the point. It reminds me of the retarded german videogame censors in the 2000's. Thank god they stopped doing that shit at least.
>>155963660
i actually kinda prefer the modesty of the censored version. usagichan should be pure.
>>155964196
>my_sides.png
>>155964600
Yeah, I was mainly thinking of L4D2, I remember watching a video about it.
>>155964674
Who made that looney tunes thing?
You can tell by the responses that it's weekend.
>>155963764
The finnish version is actually just the VHS version that got shipped and had some deterioration.
Still great show though, 10/10 slice of life with best OST.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf1pR4rkPK8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp58iuIDbxQ
>>155963296
Because kids would have no idea what a Rice Ball is (except maybe as a sprite from literally every video game) so might as well localize it into something they do understand.
>>15596315
To this day I still can't fathom the reasoning behind this.
>>155963439
This.
Yugioh is one of the greatest examples of that.
>>155964600

>>155964720
Warner Bros. Animation
>>155964823
Well then they'd go ask their mom and dad about it and they might actually learn something about a different culture.
>>155964314
Kids can actually seek and imitate the cartoon considering the likelyhood they have a gun in the home is the logic I assume they used.
>>155964871
That's a fake or a funny mod though. I did play CS:S when I was younger (bought from a german retailer) and it wasn't censored like that.
As an aside, the yugioh cards are rendered the way they are in the dub because they don't want it to come off as product placement having the cards look exactly like the real ones.
I forget if that's an actual law or they just decided to play it safe.
I know you aren't allowed to show commercials for merchandise that ties directly to a show during the commercial breaks for the show itself.
>>155964600
> 28
I'm glad someone is as old as me.
>>155964655
Not to mention there's nothing going on to create that cleavage
>>155964674
This shit was hilarious, this is what I call a really well made cartoon.
>>155964823
Because riceball resembles coccaine pack so they censored it out to avoid confusion.
>americans
Not even once.
>>155965078
You see, it doesn't harm your physical body at all, it just sends your mind to the shadow realm when it touches you.
>>155965059
That raises much stupider questions. Why would a child know what a package of cocaine looks like? If they are not expected to, then the problem would likely stem from the logic of "kids eat everything". If that is the case, then is not the actual problem the fact that a child had/has access to cocaine?
>>155964954
Having the actual product in the show technically counts as a commercial because that's technically advertising a product
>>155963835
It's from Goshūshō-sama Ninomiya-kun.
The joke is that the soldier runs a gay bar filled with macho men in bunny suits
Good anime had a good chuckle
>>155964170
Nope, at least the first image is real. They also never "killed" anyone in that series, they "defeated" them. Itachi also didn't slaughter his clansmen, he "kidnapped" them
>>155965137
>Why would a child know what a package of cocaine looks like?
Anime's legal in Mexico.
>>155965152
At least it happened to Naruto instead of an actually good anime.
>>155964238
4kids exported their censored versions of anime elsewhere around the world
>>155965194
That's true. Series like Cowboy Bebop for example didn't get butchered as far as I know. They "even" swear in it (one of the only times a dub was "good" instead of atrocious)
>>155964885
I refuse to believe this.
>>155965152
Didn't Naruto air on RTL2? Because RTL2 had no problems showing weapons and murder in Detective Conan on their afternoon timeslot for kids. So why did Naruto get this treatment?
>>155965153
Why would a child *in the United States, where it was censored* know? Mexico can do whatever the fuck they want; nobody's gonna raise an uproar.
How did a series like Naruto not get heavily censored in the US on daytime hours, anyway
>>155965152
I WALK THIS LONELY ROAD
>>155965236
I was slightly miffed that they had Faye's voice actor cut herself short in the one scene where they would have included the word 'fuck'. Faye's in the shower when their hot water turns back on, and she screams "What the fu- AHHH!"
>>155965251
It did and I have no idea why.
>>155965137
You're making a huge fuss over a very obvious ironic post/bait.

Is Germany the most cucked nation in the world?
>>155965325
The world is an odd place. One can never know what's real or not, you know.
>>155965379
That might be Japan actually, seeing how their products are treaded in the rest of the world while they are helpessly watching
>>155965437
>while they are helpessly watching
Are you retarded? The only ones who are watching are the audience.
>>155965437
Most nips, even the animators and mangaka, are 100% oblivious to the fact that anime even gets localized or sold outside of Japan.
Every single time one of them gets interviewed, if the interviewer asks about their western audience, the response is always 'I have a western audience?!?'.
>>155965251
Mainly because it aired many years after Conan for the most part. Early parts of One Piece weren't badly censored either, you could see quite a lot even.
It's also only that one tv station. Later tele5 picked up One Piece and left it very untouched. They still cut on 4 episodes during Thriller Bark, but it was moderate. They even showed a scene, that was cut from the japanese tv release
Here we go.
>>155965564
WHO IS THAT MASKED MAN?
>>155965527
There's no way mangaka of huge hits like Naruto or One Piece don't know though. Kishimoto and Oda are most definitely aware that they have an international audience.
>>155965564
Why didn't they learn from Sanji and give him a lollipop?
>>155965564
Does the BD version still censor Jotaro smoking ?
>>155965483
You didn't get it.
>>155965527
So their work is getting defiled and censored and they don't even know about it? Sasuga
>>155965604
Because that's from the japanese TV version.
>>155965001
This. That cleavage is magic.
>>155965598
The author of Jojo even referenced it in his manga itself
>>155965564
What could he be doing with that lit stick near his mouth?
>>155965604
that was jap cen, can't show minors smoking on tv
>>155965598
>>155965670
Those are examples of extremely popular works, though. Those are people who have been to the US repeatedly for cons and shit. Mangaka at your average-level of 'popular' tend to not be aware of fans or sales outside of immediate Asia.
Dumb americans
>>155963739
I don't understand the niggaz part?
What is wrong with showing them on tV?
The BBFC forced the hanging scene in Paranoia Agent to be cut in order to be released as there's a flat out ban on anything encouraging suicide.

I know Miyuki Sawashiro has been to anime cons in the US and talked about less hugely popular works, though she's a VA
>>155964055
jup it's real, i remember this well then it was on rtl2
Don't act like the west is the only retarded one here. I like to remind you that Japs are the ones censoring genitalia in fucking porn, nothing will ever top their retardation.
>>155966017
can we just agree that normalfags are retards and get over it
>>155965078
Sick fucking laserblades, thats more lime censorship done right.
>>155965379
Them and Sweden are competing with eachother for that title.
>>155965078
Reminds me of the old 90's saturday morning cartoons. Lots of action but only lasers allowed. In the Marvel cartoons all the cops had ridiculous sci-fi laser guns because anything like a real gun was basically banned from being shown, except in Batman for some reason.
>>155963439
Fuck. Off.
The anime has amazing artstyle, OST and voice acting. It is far more enjoyable than the manga.
>>155964196
Stop lying, that is not Brazil. In Brazil this kind of censorship does not exist, I clearly remember watching the scene on top on television...
>>155963394
Most Asia countries (if not all) don't watch your merica shit.
>>155963394
>>155964309
France here, we use japanese version too.
>>155966017
>I like to remind you that Japs are the ones censoring genitalia in fucking porn
And guess why is that? Because of retarded ass western laws from around the WW2 time. Retard.
>>155963550
>>155963633
How did the fights even work? What happened when anyone was stabbed or cut with a weapon?
>>155966454
I want retards to leave.
they should have used heck.
>>155965861
It's Chinese
>>155963416
This. I stopped watching after the Johto league when I realized they were setting up a formula to keep him chasing badges forever.
>>155966703
Didn't they just call straight up call hell Home For Infinite Losers or something?
>>155966739
How could you tell? Was it the filename? The Chinese letters?
>>155966782
Fuck, I totally forgot about that. That is absolutely hilarious, in retrospect.
>>155966777
Consult the 4chan IRC if you don't like it.
>>155966797
the Chinese letters desu
this is a jap's poster
>>155965078
you know I was a dumb fucking kid that didn't know better about things like this, but when I saw "sawblades at your legs, but don't worry they just send you to the shadow realm" I called bullshit.
>>155963550
It looks like he's handing over the mic at karaoke.
>>155965861
Should've censored the whole film.
>>155964220
when your like 5 years old watching this after school, its still pretty bonerific
>>155965905
is that HAKI!!??
>>155964314
because these cartoons came out at a time when everyone was afraid of school shootings, now everyone is used to it.
>>155964196
>>155967609
>censoring shoes
I don't fucking get it
>>155963918
Blame women.
>>155966017
And that was imposed a result of American pressure during the occupation after WW2.
>>155968155
It's rude to show your soles in some asian countries.
>>155968155
Probably some south east asian version. Remember reading showing someone the soles of your feet was like giving the finger or some shit.
>>155963918
what's funny is that western cartoons always have guns.
>>155963400
Using 4kids is cheating and you know it
>>155963153
How does the sandwich even stay together mid air without it coming apart?
>>155966330
You know the us army isn't occupying Japan anymore, right? Retard
>>155967709
They are pointing at (You)
>>155963918
10/10 school shootings occur via some white person. Tis best not to give the young ones any ideas
>>155968414
They still have a base in Okinawa and the locals can't stand them.
>>155965943
>>155965905
You could say it paralyzed her
>>155968414
It may sound retarded, but most the people who lived at the time when shit wasn't censored are pretty much dead. For most japs today it's just the way it's always been. Sure, it sucks that porn gets censored there, but you know the saying if it ain't exactly broke hurting society, or getting people killed don't fix it.
Also
>japan
>not occupied
For a lot of shit the US says jumpor elseand a lot of countries including japan say how high. This is not including military bases because muh scary japan might go crazy and militarize.
>>155968744
They also have them in Aomori. No matter where, locals aways suffered under the rape the burgers brought along.
>>155968962
Well as long as both the US and Japan hate China, we will still get along.
>>155969118
If it weren't for China and N.Korea, nips would've removed burgers decades ago
>>155969193
nah, they love american 80s movies too much
>>155968744
lots of rapes with no reprimand.
>>155968522
yeah, but now we are used to it.
>>155965251
They did censor Detective Conan although not as extremely. Most blood and direct shots of corpses have been removed.
>>155963660
flat tities best tities desu desu
Boruto was adopted
>>155969455
Fucking sameface
>>155969385
>They did censor Detective Conan although not as extremely.
Not in the first cour. Conan had already run for the first batch of episodes before the censorship craze happened in 2002, so quite a lot of its episodes (like the one with the guy getting impaled on a sword against a wall) had run through TV uncensored.
Naruto and all subsequent animes just got fucked by the new anti-violence treatment.
>>155963660
so why is America more prewed than japan?
more kids need to watch subs
>>155969587
>prude
>>155969587
American Christians think that seeing violence or sexuality will send you to hell.
>>155967709
Can children even understand what is happening in those kind of scenes?
>>155969688
Obviously they're going to get a stern lecture.
>>155969688
I think they changed the line to something like "You're coming with us." or "You're going to jail."
>>155963153
>posting jelly donuts
Damn, am I ever hungry for some childhood lies. I should whip up some actual rice donuts with rice flour, chocolate dipped seaweed, and a jelly filling.
>>155964889
Why would you think that their parents know what that is. I'm pretty sure that my parents never saw rice ball in their life.
>>155969587
Just look at them censoring curse words. They parade weapons and tanks whenever they can on television but somehow think their children get corrupted when they hear the word "fuck" or see a nipple
>>155968297
>Probably some south east asian version
Literally read the filename.
>>155964954
Probably goes back to the 80s for shows like GI Joe, Transformers and Masters of the Universe. It's why those shows had (for the time) absurdly detailed series bibles, so they could say the show came first, and not the toys.
>>155963550
A fucking Hitachi wand!
>>155965936
This isn't accurate, I remember reading the top version in english as a middle schooler.
>>155963400
finger pistol or spirit gun perhaps
>>155970135
Viz didn't used to censor as much, but then they went back and censored them. DBZ falls under the same rule
>>155963550
>>155963633
I watched the german version and while there was a lot of shit censored, I never remember they cut out that sword.
>>155970512
Probably didn't watch the RTL2 version, they were the only ones doing their own edits.
>>155969587
Japs are fine with the idea of their kids getting pruriently lustful
Americans would prefer that be done not by the family tv
>>155968522
this
>>155964196
"meatloaf again?"
>>155965153
Anime was not as censored in Mexico
There were awfyl name localizations and some of the sexual themes were toned down but the violence and gore were not edited
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX9gTa1PIYg
So how is it less sexually stimulating if she has pink panties instead of the white ones? It would make sense if her pubes would be visible thru white one in front but from behind, heh.
>>155970941
First ones are too childlike.
>>155965564
>>155965622
>>155965693
This episode also had an orangutang smoking while reading porn magazines and ogling a 12 yeard old girl showering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx9La4nGlnA
>>155966017
They censor genitals and yet they can show the tits and the anuses
>>155971138
I didn't know the orangutan was a minor
>>155971284
They can literally show living eels poured into a girls ass but no genitals.
>>155963739
why did they bleach the black man
>>155963400
That actually makes him look cooler.
>>155963394
Actually, heavy censorship, made up lines and shitty quips are the main reason why neither Naruto nor One Piece exploded in popularity here in Latin America. We got the retarded american version for those shows.
Luckily japs learned their mistakes and we haven't gotten more american localized anime since then.
>>155971284
Tits aren't genitals anon.
>>155968165
Blame soccer moms.
>>155964196
Pretty funny but they never censored stuff in nardo here in brasil,probably because they were too lazy
>>155964314
I think its because most of entartainment industry is based in california.
>>155966116
they set batman in pseudo 1930s just so they could show guns
>>155969662
but they see violence all the time... hell they are the most domestically violent first world country if you go by murder rates.
>>155969587
In the case of USA it's quite simply historical reasons.
USA was a land where weird christians of Europe could practice their faith in peace.
The weirdos were weird partly because of their usually extreme conservatism.
Consequently, USA is a nation that was formed by the descendants of these faiths. Obviously other people came, but conservative christianity was and is very, very important.
>>155972085
but they don't want to show the suffering or aftermath of said violence, nor have their kids see it and question it.
>>155969857
is that why they are not allowed to write "fuck" on their bombs?
>>155970574
maybe american have sired a delusion of family tv and what it is and the japs have not. the japs not being as christian as americans and all.
>>155972085
But the children must be protected! If parents allow them to learn that people hurt other people, they might as well be selling them into prostitution or butchering them and consuming their meat.
>>155972089
but isn't japan supposed to be more repessed than americans? or so americans claim?
>>155965322
SASOOKE IS REALLY COOL
SAKURA THE BEAUTIFUL
>>155963153
It's more of a dying pan now
>>155972216
but they beat the war drums anytime they get into a start a war with anyone who won't bow to the petro dollar middle east or bomb the shit out of small states in asia.
THEY hurt people too. are they trying to hide that reality or do they not want their kids to think the people they are hurting are people?
where do they draw the line?
>>155963153
Hello, this is Jared, you may know me from Subway, how can I help you?

My sub is bigger than that ... I mean I have no idea what you are talking about
>>155972251
Repressed or not, more than the other or not, whichever the case it doesn't really matter when talking about prudishness over sexual imagery and themes.
USA just is that way. Maybe the nation as a whole, however you're supposed to even quantify it, isn't as sexually repressed as Japan (I don't really get this, if anything it seems to me Japs are sexually fairly liberated), but when it comes to this matter USA is very strict about these things when children are or might be involved.
>>155963153
Some things never change
>>155965876
is this kasumi?
>>155972085
It's because of all the niggers
We tend to stay away from them
>>155972549
I don't get this.
>>155972381
The people America declares war on are evil and bad guys. Children should be hidden from any and all details of this violence.
Exactly how this is explained depends on the parent/source. As I understand it, but critical detail is that the violence is still undesirable, but unavoidable in order to save the world (the financial motivation is rarely mentioned).
>>155972612
Only Jesus can get CROSS'D in the USA
>>155972669
For real? That wasn't even the first thing that came to my mind.
>>155972704
I mean jeez, it looks exactly like he's being crucified.
>>155972537
If you ever lived in Japan you'd realize people don't have a lot of sex, period. Work life is so stressful that there's no time for it
My theory as to why their media is so inundated with sex stuff is because they need to sublimate it somehow. No time to fuck a real girl, but you can ogle some Hentai titties on the train on the way to your 80hr/ week job
>>155972537
fromt being a teacher in japan for over a year. I think the difference is an attitude of what kids are experect to 'take' as it were.
again, american are christian and big on 'innocence' and children and thus hold alot back from them. Japanese children however are given tasks, duties and assignment much sooner in their schools than americans are to maybe they simply expect kids to become independent faster.
however economic stresses to the middle class in the US and overwork and declining birthrates in japan, these views are out-dating themselves so rapidly the media of both nations are most likely not in sync with the current views of their citizens. but who knows when changes of perspective will finally impact the respective medias

>>As I understand it, but critical detail is that the violence is still undesirable, but unavoidable in order to save the world (the financial motivation is rarely mentioned).
I still don't get why americans still dread their kids seeing sex more than violence. I worked in retail and had many mothers buying CoD for their 8-years and asking my assurance that the games didn't contain sex.

Yes.

>>155972830
>You guys realize that to Americans who aren't weebs the rice thing is literally not recognizable as food?
yeah, those aren't the target audience now are they?

If they see that stuff and hear it called a rice ball I'm pretty sure even the greatest idiot will understand it is, in fact, a ball of rice.
Clearly other nations manage this too.
>>155972793
>No time to fuck a real girl, but you can ogle some Hentai titties on the train on the way to your 80hr/ week job
Which is why I have the feeling that Japan is sexually liberated, albeit in a kind of weird way.
It seems to me that sex and sexuality isn't seen all that much as something shameful, but part of human nature and urges.
But I am not japanese nor have I ever been there, so someone who knows more about how it actually shows in everyday society, do tell me.
>>155973188
For fucking pokemon? Of course they are. Kids don't even know pokemon is Japanese
And 99% of americans will not be able to tell you that the rice thing is food with certainty, never mind what specific food it is or where it comes from
>>155973232
In context it may not have been called it rice ball, and in fact if you don't know what a rice ball is you might not think it is food, it doesn't really look like food
And pokemon is literally watched by 4-8 year olds on CN or whoever is airing it now
>>155963153
Japan: Draws a riceball
America: Calls it a donut
why do they do this?
>>155973319
>In context it may not have been called it rice ball, and in fact if you don't know what a rice ball is you might not think it is food, it doesn't really look like food
but its rice, what else would anyone do with rice?
they may not know that the black bit is nori, or pressed-dried sea-weed, but they should know that fucking rice is.
>>155973302
I was in Japan for a bit, but only in a rural areas, for the most part they do see things as natually 'earthy' but also that there is a man made perfection too to this conservative standardization of perfection, but mostly work and duty oriented. mainy they are slightly more progressive than the US in that case, but their priorities are are super different.
>>155973441
I mean I never ate white rice growing up. If I saw the image in the OP and they called it a rice ball I might think it's some weird Japanese thing
>>155965298

Fuck i think i saw these version when i was a kid
That + the godawful dub and translation made naruto very confusing for me
Only years later i found out Itachi doesn't just murdered his parent but his entire goddamn clan
this a localization thread?
>>155973015
>is that why we only see the children killed by chemical weapons, but not the ones killed by our bombs?
Yup. The 'people' killed by America are just numbers. The people killed by America's enemies are individual tragedies.
I don't really understand the aversion to sexuality either. Something about preserving innocence.
>>155973550
I ate rice, but not in a ball, but this is the internet age for christ's sake, what to do you loose by being like "yeah this is from somewhere else and here's what they eat" what do you lose doing that, kids arn't that stupid, unless you make them.
>>155973015
Intrinsic Puritanism.
Plus violence is easier to explain and tell kids that it's not something you want to do.
You can't do the same thing for sex because sex is something virtually everyone wants.
No one wants penetration by bullets, everyone wants penetration by penis.
>>155972830
I assume non-retarded Americans could realize from the context in that scene that it's a food.
If you're really desperate, you could translate it as "rice ball" instead of "onigiri" - which is dumbing it down a bit, but rice is a common food even in the US even if that way of serving it isn't, and which isn't as retarded as photoshopping in a sandwich.
>>155973550
>I never ate white rice growing up.
It's true, amerifats really do live on chicken nuggets and cereal...
>>155972874
that's the German version
>>155973618
so basically americans want to be a warring nation without their kids thinking they are dicks, thus the wars can continue.
Americans DO use sex in their advertising though anything of REAL sex is always a scandal or 'bad.' I would say that its a matter of making sex taboo makes sex more coveted, so it would sell more. but europeans use sex in their media too and are far less uptight about things than americans, so I don't get it.
>>155973607
fun fact, the right used the same artists as WikiHow
>>155973665
so... we don't want people to acknowlege their actual urges as natural devoid of a moral metric?
this an issue of control? and if so to what end? this is the part I don't get, who profits from this?
>>155973607
Why?
>>155973607
that's like, a complete different game.
>>155973881
You can't wage a war in America without the support of the people
Sex being taboo varies from person to person. Most people don't consider it taboo, but I have come across an old woman that thought handholding was lewd and shouldn't be done in front of teenagers.
>>155973618
Maybe because they're more likely to emulate sexuality than violence that they see on TV? I mean even if they're running around shooting people in a video game I think that most kids still understand on a fundamental level that shooting somebody in real life is bad and you shouldn't do it, whereas if they see two people fucking they might think "hey that looks like fun, I should try that." I mean if a kid sees a pantyshot that's not particularly damaging, but I could see how letting an eleven year old girl watch Teen Mom or something might be a bad idea.
>>155973607
were the japanese like cute anime girls, the americans like.... wierd-ass 'pretty' by not 'cute' barbie doll monsters.
I think americans have something against "cute" were japan is over staturated with everything cute.
>>155973302
There's nothing amoral about the body parts in themselves, but there's a fuckton of face to be lost over illicit sexual relationships.
You ever seen Death Note, where the mom scolds Light in a passive aggressive way for having a girl over too late? It's like that. The shame is not for the act itself, but for being a reckless individualist and not properly marrying and bringing honor to the family or whatever
You might not recognize the controls because they're not grounded in Judeo Christian morality, but I promise there are controls against sluttiness all the same
>>155974167
I think americans see "cute" as a childish and innocent thing, where as japanese while seeing cute still as childish, also see cute a "sexy" too, which americans are uncomfortable with children and 'sexy'
>>155973738
>not eating an asian poverty crop means I ate like shit
I ate pasta 3-4 nights a week, I wasn't going to eat another cereal grain on top of that. And when we did it rice, it was probably fried rice from asian restaurant or some brown rice thing my mom made
>>155973677
Again, we're talking about 4-8 year olds who do not even know pokemon is japanese. that's the target audience for the pokemon anime in the west
If you really think they would even consider saying the word "onigiri" on tv in the west you're deluded
I really don't see the problem of the sandwich. There was nothing about japanese culture in that scene, I assume, it was just about food. The Japanese animators chose a food recognizable to Japanese children, the americans changed it to one recognizable to american children. They probably didn't say the name of either food in the scene.
It's not censorship in this situation, just localization
>>155964889

Those are for girls that don't want to be seen playing with "kids toys". My niece is 5 and her mom won't let her watch Monster High because she got scared of a character in one episode.
>>155974130
I don't know where to begin with this....
everything seems so ass-backwards when analyzed, and for what? what does anyone profit from this crap?
>>155974350
Not just regular moms either, the psychopathic ones that try to live life vicariously through their daughters because they refuse to accept that they too can change and become content with themselves.
>>155974428
and 4kids isn't the entirety of the US localization scene
>>155974422
It's not really Christians vs Muslims, it's US vs them, who happen to be Muslims.
>>155974350
the same moms who would bitch out and Ecchi anime, but still let their boy plays CoD and let pedos ogle this daughters?!
>>155974524
??? How does that matter to his claim that you wouldn't find anyone say the word onigiri in the western anime dubs?
>>155974422
This isn't reddit, friend. It's okay to call out the Jews and their allies, Saudi Arabia's massive war in Yemen is entirely covered up for example.
>>155974506
>what does anyone profit from this crap?
It's just a leftover habit from dealing with overreacting stay-at-home moms. At least executives aren't pushing "the group is always right" line of thinking.
>>155974497
and no one is threatened by the anime look? 0.o
>>155974639
but they act entitled to control the rest of society to this narrow end. is it just the few places in life their are in control of, or do their just feel entitled to put everyone on their metric the same way Christianity does?
>>155974636
What other company has replaced onigiri? The non-4kids substitute is usually just rice ball.
>>155969587
Something to do with religion as we are still majority Protestant and Catholic.
>>155974562
its also the post WW2 euro-dollar, its the only thing backing our currency right now, and we control the trade, we can't afford to let oil-producing states to have self-determination. for more info, look up post war iran and what we did to their democratically elected leader.
>>155974744
Dunno, he claimed it not me. i know for fact tons of dubs use rice ball.

I would say SJW have far more influence over censorship now than any small band of moms.
>>155974645

6 year olds are not that retarded, I worked in a kindergarten for two years.
>>155975568
I don't interact with retarded 6 year olds, so yeah, you're correct on that part.
Growing up sure is different now than it was before, cause I knew what a rice ball was when I was 6.
>>155968165
I blame women for most things in my life.
>>155964823
>Because kids would have no idea what a Rice Ball is (except maybe as a sprite from literally every video game) so might as well localize it into something they do understand.
When I was a kid I simply asked my parents and they told me what it was.
Why do americans doubt their children's intelligence so much?
>>155964823
Even if you don't know what a rice ball is, you should know what rice is and what a ball is.
>>155975809
They generally aren't rendered with enough fidelity to make it apparent that they're made of rice though.
>>155975748
america is a VERY anti-intellectual culture. we only value intelligence if it is linked directly to wealth.

>>155976035
and who is that?
>>155976045

Nope, show's like Bakugan, Beyblade (the one with the goggles loli), and Yokai Watch, Yu hi oh Zexxal, were still the retarded american versions.
The only things we get from Japan these days are the Dragonball movies, and Shin Godzilla, well to be fair we got Doraemon 2005 from Japan, but got relegated to chilenian channel ETC.tv, it was on Netflix but it stagnated until they deleted it.

Most pointless censoring ever. The image wouldn't be graphic or scary so they clearly censored it for moral reasons. That makes it even dumber. Everybody without a double digit IQ can tell what he's doing so if their concern is "stupid kids imitating him" they failed horribly. Also, if Jotaro was one year older it would have been fine, which is why Polnareff and the monkey smoke without censors. What kind of fucked up logic is that? The "potential underage smokers" will not care about his age.

>>155978421
Laws can be dumb. If a law says you are not to explicitly show something then you do not. It's not about the intelligence of the viewer or the creators or the censorers.
They're playing it safe. It's safer to just censor it away than maybe get to shit about it afterwards.

I don't understand this. Art used to be something very beautiful and catering to one's aesthetic, a window to the artist's soul.
If a barren room with some common rubbish strewn on the floor or a cabin where people can text other people from remote locations count as art, that's saying a lot about what those people consider aesthetic. It says a lot about what those people are like inside. Dead.

Bubble filters are lewd because while you know it's just obfuscating the clothes, your brain is tricked to think that they're nude.
Censoring is crude. You know what's under there all the same but it's not meant to be a pseudo-illusion/optical trick like bubble fltering.

How should I know? What's the context? Who's the artist? Does it have a name or description next to it? What are the other pieces that it's being displayed with?
>>155964954
>I forget if that's an actual law
Yes, it's an actual law. It has to do with advertising law. You can't advertise directly to kids using a TV show. Law makers considered it brain washing. It's also why you can't have a commercial for the toys your TV show is obviously advertising in it's broadcast block. The toys and the show must be separate.

This is so stupid. Kids aren't idiots and even if they're very coddled they'll learn about death anyway from something else.
Doesn't matter how much violence there is and it's okay, however death is a big no-no.

I know they NEVER released their shonnen jump licenses uncensored, but they still do that shit!?
Yu-gi-oh per example, dialogue wise is not butchered (the manga) but visually it is, you cannot tell unless you compare RAWS form the japanese manga and the Viz edition.
Viz sucks.

95% of all YGO cards are censored in some way in America. Main reason I never bothered getting into it
>>155972830
American censors just don't want their children to be corrupted by Japanese food influences, just according to keikaku.

That Magi djinn has some big ole blue titties and the nipples and with piercings as well no wonder its censored.

>>155981716
To be fair, at least they bothered to change the soldier's gear to make it accurate instead of just shopping the flag like a proper lazy ass would do.
>>155982290
Fuck, I said vegeta but I really forgot how much they beat the phrase 'the next dimension' into the ground.
>Look, I can see their parachutes!
Shit I forgot about this gem as well. Thanks for the laugh anon-kun.
>>155984740
Well don't forget that at one point in time, DBZ was defacto entry level anime for a certain age group of people in the west. Also since it was pre-internet, unless you were buying tapes that had 3-4 episodes on it, you were watching it on toonami or part of a sat morning cartoon lineup. And since (especially back then) animation was automatically considered 'kiddie shit', you get retarded alterations like 'HFIL' and 'the next dimension'.
Funny thing it wasn't until I watched a japanese dub of the andoid saga on vhs, years before it aired on tv, that I realized that DB wasn't 'kiddie shit' (in the sense that it has to be treated like barney or something).
>>155982290
Pretty much the only good thing about the original DBZ dub was Brian Drummond as Vegeta. But when they started doing episodes again, they got almost an entirely new cast.
>>155988641
>entry level anime for a certain age group of people in the west
Stop using "the west" as if every western country was America. The only place where anime was treated and downgraded to kiddie saturday cartoons was the US.
>>155982290
AYY MEIN SEIDS
>>155964823
no, because they got paid for censoring even the dumbest thing
It's a shame all that censorship didn't stop these many shootings in America.
>>155964196
Yo, my nigga these threads are funny as fuck
>>155965141
but because they don't really look like the cards printed they sell, they can still get away with it

>>155982322
I've heard at one point that 4kids got paid for how much they "localized" these shows, so they went nuts and changed anything they could.
>>155984006
didn't the japanese also added some leggings in that ending?
>>155973982
Well, I think it's more an innocence and social aspect thing. Innocence, once lost, can never be gained again. And you really don't want an 8 year old going around talking about sex and nudity (and they would if they were consuming a bunch of media with sex and nudity in it) for obvious reasons. That's something legally off-limits, something that they should know about from a purely factual point of view until they're old enough to actually partake in it, which becomes socially acceptable usually around whatever the age of consent is. Anything they see before doing the act itself viewed from artistic standpoints will probably give them harmful and skewed perceptions of what it is and what it's for.

What's hilarious is that when I watched this, I didn't realize they were censoring him smoking until episodes later. When I saw this in the card game against Darby, I thought this was supposed to emphasize the fact that Jotora has a solid pokerface and was impossible to read.

The problem is that there's no politician who is going to stand up and say "it's time to unblur the genitals in our porn, dammit!" because nobody wants to be the "unblur the porn" politician. So sadly that law is probably never going to change in Japan unless there's a massive push from the public.
