Not quite correct. Japan can get pretty bad with censoring violence too (parts of Terraformars are unwatchable). It's mostly America that has a "gore fine, tits bad" mentality.


I'm still pretty convinced that the censoring of violence we see in things like Terraformars are there purely to influence DVD/Blu-ray sales. There have been plenty of TV anime where violence hasn't been censored.

Hint No. 1: spoiler[She's either delivering a report using an unusual method of communication, or she's just been talking to a cat.]

I never knew that. You learn something new every day. It's probably because I almost never watch TV or go to the movies anymore. It's all home DVDs/Blu-rays for me now. Been that way for over 10 years now.

Great! Here's a tricky one.



I am, of course, referring to the man in the ridiculous pompadour.

You didn't expect a character from one of the biggest gateway animes of the early 2000s to go fast?

Fanservice for those who don't like censorship, now with more nipples.

Well, maybe a main or supporting character, but I used a one-shot character. Huh. Guess I underestimated you.

For some reason I remember a similar scene from the 2nd season featuring spoiler[Tougane]

Next.

Dammit. Correct.

I tried finding the shirtless spoiler[Tougane] scene, but I don't think it exists. My memory likes tricking me. Though it's a bit similar scene since he is practising martial arts. I think that's what spoiler[Kougami] was doing as well?
