The scence in the Manga wasn't even "translated" itno the Anime. Perhaps your thinking of Naruto or One Piece?
Kinda doesn't help when historical accounts put Pocahontas at below 16. |

I guess, but it wasn't even enjoyable on its own merits. Which brings us back to FMA edits. The fact is that, without knowledge of outside factors (meaning anything that cannot be found within the pages of the book in your hand), the English edition of FMA is still enjoyable. This isn't freaking Cardcaptors, where nearly every major plotpoint and relationship was erased in favor of battle scenes. (And if 4Kids had gotten their hands on it, we never would have gotten original, uncut DVDs. Still waiting for One Piece, you bastards!) So as far as "crimes against anime/manga" are concerned, this "cross" thing is one of the little ones. Like He who was once nailed to it, I forgive them. But I swear, Viz, if you don't restore Naruto's middle finger, I will make bloody rain on your buttocks. |

Um, actually I was making a deliberate effort to sound inconsistent. You know, for the funny. You didn't see the smiling icon? Geez, people take themselves too damned seriously around here. |

It's cool. I shouldn't depend too much on emoticons anyway. Never liked 'em. I pretty much agree with you that Viz shouldn't mess with the artwork or the story. They're distributors and publishers, not storytellers. Let the paying customers decide, not the ignorant masses. Marketing to younger audiences via "Shonen Jump" may bring them financial success, but with every alteration they risk losing the true fans. Manga's pretty popular in the mainstream right now, but the mainstream is fickle. When that audience moves on to the next big thing, all that's left is gonna be a bunch of altered books. When the time comes, I hope Viz and other publishers restore these books to their original (yet translated) form. We just have to wait until anime/manga is too unpopular to be on the radar. |

Just a reminder of the culture(or lack thereof) we're dealing with in this country.
An award-winning Texas art teacher who was reprimanded after one of her fifth-grade students saw a nude sculpture during a trip to a museum has lost her job.The school board in Frisco has voted not to renew Sydney McGee's contract after 28 years... |
