MentalMachine: banned.

@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.

@Adamb Never, use Britain as an example to prove anything against the US. Ever. Britain itself is a rather conservative country, run by conservatives. At least the States is run by a liberal in the form of Barack Obama. Censorship/sensitivity levels there can exceed the US in many ways. As I said before, a show for kids, Regular Show is censored. The US censored Regular Show, too, but Britain pretty much purges the show of its purpose, even though the show has virtually no objectionable content. Britain, at least England lacks sexual education as well. Britain as a whole is basically a wannabe America anyway. It's best not to use it as an example, since anything the US does stupidly/wrong, you can bet the UK will do it, just in lesser bursts. Same goes for Canada, since Canada is just America, with liberal fold and less intrusive.

Also, it's not like Japanese themselves don't have some conservative issues. CoughInfamousCEROZCough. A game for teens, which isn't THAT violent is rated CERO Z. Think about it. That's not to talk about their own games which they gut, while Europeans and Americans get a version that they don't even see. Final Fantasy XII, Metal Gear Rising, No More Heroes, Ninja Gaiden(Xbox). If Americans and by extension westerners are scared of sexual content, then Japanese are dead afraid of even the slightest bit of violence, which is odd, since the PG-12 movie has more gore than COD, yet COD gets slapped with CERO Zs, not to mention censored and the like, Uncharted actually gets part of the gameplay altered, which is really, really bad. See, it's not just the States. Japanese can be prudes TOO.

Finally, it's not wise to use Japanese porn to prove your point, since that will bite you in the ass. Japanese porn, unlike US porn is CENSORED. It's not really porn in that regard.

@Marco Sensei That should apply to Japan, too. Call of Duty, is SUPPOSED TO BE VIOLENT! What is the point of censoring a game BUILT ON VIOLENCE? If Persona 4 shouldn't be hit with Ms and shit for having sexual themes, COD should be rated CERO D, with all the blood intact.

yeah, that was me. How do you go about searching for people who have made an account? I can't remember exactly what Yamada said, but RT's post mirrors that of Yamada: a hard on for anime dubs and VA's from California, disdain for Texas dubs, singling out Steven Foster like he's the only ADR director at Sentai.

again, perhaps I'm just being paranoid here and it is just a very bizarre coincidence

Didn't YamadaKun and/or Tenjin also have this whole "I don't know who you are talking about" or "that's not me, that's my cousin" thing going on whenever they were called out on evading bans?

BTW... Don't you find it a little bit more than a coincidence that ReverseTitan would pay close attention to a topic about MentalMachine, despite the fact that he apparently has no ties to the man?

Something to think about...
