Never said that it's not the case in Japan... And did mention the problems with the Tokyo Ban for example.
In any case, censorship is not the solution. If anything must PG or any type of regulation, so be it. I'm just saying that you should never cut a work of art and creativity upon cultural issues, and that's even worst if you do the cut BEFORE any controversy of some sort. |

The current government is a Conservative/Liberal coalition and has been for the last few years. For more than ten years prior the government was Labour, who are left wing.
Please provide non-hentai examples. I n terms of anime, we've had only a single frame cut out of one show in recent years for reasons of sex. The best example I can think of where there was a significant change to the US in terms of TV was changing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - and that was not due to anything sexual. Lexx was shown uncensored here while in the US parts of the second series were cut or blurred.
Huh? |

Man, this is what all the fuss has been about? Breast feeding and naked babies? I thought this was like Ghibli going hardcore with creepy anime pedo sex and fanservice out the ass or something. Probably won't get G but this might pass for PG. I've seen commercials with naked babies in them.

I'm a little confused as to when ANN became a political forum or started allowing political discussions, particularly in cases where it is completely derailing threads and posts like this gem have absolutely zero to do with the articles content at this point. Actually I lied, I'm not confused, because it never happened. So cut the political debating BS, particularly when the debates content itself is so eye-rolling at this point that calling it a "debate" is being generous.
You've got marginal data that effectively proves nothing and is not substantial enough to demonstrates anything scientific or even qualify as a solid scientific study. You've also got data that is the equivalent of a single piece in a 5000 piece puzzle and still represents nothing substantial in the grand scheme of the topic, not to mention the fact that your point is outright countered by merely walking down the street or looking in a magazine and simply taking in US society. So no, you've got nothing. If I looked hard enough I could find a study on the internet that says 1+1=3, congrats on your google skills.

I know it won't be edited here in America. It'll just be distributed by Touchstone pictures (I think? Y'know that name that's basically Disney but less obviously Disney so people don't flip out?) and nobody will even care
Also how dare breasts be shown as something that isn't a sex object!! FOR SHAME!!! /sarcasm |

Everything might be moot anyways: "Why is Studio Ghibli’s latest movie struggling at the box office?"

enurtsol: Yamadas was a flop, too, and we still got it. Also, Ocean Waves probably ended up being profitable in the long run on home video. Anyway, from a marketing perspective, Disney could try to sell it here as Ghibli's answer to Mulan. And from what I understand, Pixar doesn't have anything of note coming out next year, so Disney would have to fill that void somehow. Especially since they'd need to maintain their presence at the Oscar race for Animated Film. And they can't just whip up those CG pics on the spot, 'cus they're expensive as hell. Plus, they do it wrong, and they end up with the next Mars Needs Moms.

Well I can guarantee that if one frame of that film is cut for it's international release they will have lost at least one ticket sale.

This is a storm in a tea cup. The only people what would be railing and condemning such scenes in a cartoon wouldn't be watch this cartoon anyway, because "it's one of them foreign cartoons" so who cares? Rate it 18+ for all I care. Just get the damn thing out already.

If that reporter contributes Miyazaki's film as a possible reason for this one's non-stellar numbers, I can only imagine what would have happened if they had opened up together, but not as a double-feature. No one would have gone to see Kaguya at all with that line of thinking. But still, The Wind Rises was months ago, can't it just be that people aren't interested in this film as it stands, by itself?
Unless Big Hero 6 (WDAS), the Box Trolls (Laika), or How to Train Your Dragon 2 (DreamWorks) are anything of note, maybe next year will be Japan's time to shine. The Nut Job, Rio 2, and the Lego Movie may be fun, but probably nothing award-winning. DreamWorks also has Home for the November release, but it'll probably be like every other alien-related CG film for the last decade: not good. Kaguya will probably do nothing more than a qualifying run, so Disney won't really spend any cash to promote or advertise for a nomination or win. Yeah, 2013 would have been Ghibli's year if not for Frozen. |

@Romska U mad? Do you honestly think they give two shits about $10 lost? Hell, do Disney actually care about Ghibli? No, they care about Miyazaki. Hayao Miyazaki to be precise.
@Shiroi Hane DBZ was edited in both the US and UK, but Toonami UK edited it even further to make room for commercials and shit. And even though it's not anime, again, the example of Regular Show comes up again. Also, the leader of your country is David Cameron, who is a Conservative. As far as I care to know, that makes your country run by a conservative. I'm fully aware both the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives are in a coalition, but that was not out of choice, for your information. I've lived in the UK. It's no different sensitivity wise to America. Both full of censorship and crybabies. @GATSU Nobody cares about the Oscars/Annies. They lost their credibility when they put only American animation in the best voice acting category, as well as their refusal to admit that there are dubs of anime that can match or surpass domestic animation voice work. Oscars are too easy for me to bash. |

It is depending where you go. Where I'm from no one gives a shit about sexual content in films, or breast feeding and so on because I come from a very liberal state, but if you go to where I live for the time I'm at university, yeah, people give a crap. Not every American is the same way, and a lot of states have vastly different values than one another. Cut your generalization bs. Anyway, I don't think it should be censored. The people who saw it said it was just breast feeding and a family bath scene and there's nothing sexual about those things, but it is just this guy's opinion and he is allowed to have that. |

Yeah, because anecdotal evidence is completely and utterly rock solid.
