Huh? How so? I'm pretty sure most of the anime shown on Japanese television are about half an hour. I say "about" because they probably leave a few extra minutes for commercials/sponser endorsements or whatever, but for the most part I'd say whatever titles are licensed and released in the U.S on DVD are uncut. That is, unless you're going to be a super purist and say every single second of the master recordings should be on there as well. It's true that anime on U.S. television is cut, but you'll either have to talk to the FCC or the TV broadcast companies for that one.

4Kids is the only anime licensing company that still edits the anime they license. They do that to show it on TV here in the US under the stricter Broadcast Standards and Practices that we have here.
Tokyopop might edit on an rare occasion mattchoo8t3 obviously doesn't know about fansubs, and the fact that you can compare these with DVD releases. Typically, a DVD release is nearly the same as what those who download a fansub will see, but will always have better video quality, sometimes animation is redone, and episodes not shown on TV are included as in the case of Gantz. Gantz season 1 was shown on Japanese TV missing two episodes, because a couple episodes were too graphic to be shown on Japanese TV, so we get to see the unedited version being released by ADV, and is given a TV-MA rating. Take fansubs, fansubbers remove commercials, so all anime TV series are a half hour with commercials, remove the commercials (beginning, middle, end), and they are 24 to 25 minutes. Only OVA's are usually over 30 minutes in length. |

Japanese Dragonball/Z DVD releases disagree with you. Ontop of nearly every release of every anime ever. You wouldn't license X ammount of animation simply to REMOVE ONE THIRD OF IT. That is insanely stupid and a waste of money. Ontop of that, a vast majority (except what.. Figure 17?) air on half hour blocks IN JAPAN, and the only time they could ever be longer is due to what... specials? DVD releases (fixed animation and all)? I'm really amazed by how little of a clue you have. (ontop of that, only the really "gory" moments were removed from DBZ, which despite everyone bitching and whinging, were few and far between) |

Besides, since he has 10 posts, being the newbie that he is, new to anime, he wouldn't have a clue what he's talking about.

Although I've not seen the first eight AS versions since they aired, I must say they seem the same as on the first two DVDs. The only thing that is different is the ending credits which is a little bit shorter on AS. CN tends to compress/delete the OP and/or the ED in order to fit the show in the alloted time.

Only in the English version, and that's only if you're comparing it as a direct adaptation of the original Japanese, which it isnt.
The new uncut DVDs also contain replace English music and dialouge in the dub. It's dub is very much the same as all of the other DVDs, only this time it's using the entire set of animation, not removing 15 or so episodes worth of footage. But like all of the other DBZ DVDs released under FUNimation, these still retain the original Japanese broadcast audio as an alternate viewing choice.
Assuming this release spread across the entire series and not just the previously cut-only Saiyan and Namek sagas, it'd actually be 291 episodes. 276 was the original episode count when you considered the cut Saiyan and Namek Sagas. Don't know where you pulled 268 from. Can't say I'm happy about the episode count though. |

From what I can tell, FMA was very minimally edited. It's not a show like Gantz that would get hacked to bits, FMA has barely been touched except by the usual Adult Swim edits: no higher-up swear words (ex. s*** or f***) and the removal of overly extreme violence, which isn't even that bad. |

Kusanagi-sama said 4kids is the only company that edits. (I put it this way because I can't do a regular quote)
That's not necessarily true. ADV edited Saint Seiya into Knights of the Zodiac (I'm pretty sure anyway.) Then again, they realeased it uncut too, so does it count? |
