Because going by the ANN episode guide, the Toonami version was missing some pretty great episodes, never mind my opinion on the dub.

Oh yea. Episodes removed, names changed, figure lines removed during transformations, attack name changes, different OP and the Japanese-ness of the show is completely removed. The whole nine yards. I love every second of it, too.

And I simply hate people who are apparently too clueless to realize that just because you can't predict with absolute certainty, you can recognize what will in all likelihood happen. You do this too. Every time you do anything. It's the most basic process of how people make decisions.

Every time I do anything? Even when I'm going to pee? Are you serious?

I never said this would turn into a major profit. But I did call for those who are saying that this is a bad move, as if they knew the future. Your statement falls flat since I wasn't talking about those who are saying that this may be a bad move.

There's no reasoning with you people. If your reasoning has abandoned you, so did your ideals, and any interest I could have in discussing anything with you. Have a very tasty afternoon, gentleman.

Not to disagree with you but the show your avatar is from really did a number here in the us. I mean kids made "Death Notes" in real life and tried to use them. That is one way that anime can affects people.

HOLD ON!!!! you actually believe that people are going to die from a man made/ hand made deaTH note? seriously no harm was done there just like no harm is done here!!!!!

Are you just being deliberately obtuse, or did you really fail to grasp that the words describe material which is specifically legally NOT child pornography?

And yet you keep posting.

I won't go away at all! The more you dislike me, the more you'll see me around. Everything works the other way round with me, everything. I mean, just look at that thread we're posting at. Man, it's filled with ignorance; I just love to deal with ignorance.

Lastly, the Japanese broadcast was also censored, yet you people watched it? WTF? What's going on?

Rinkwolf,

Then the answer is to make it a Mature rated title so that impressionable young children should not be watching it. The title isn't aimed at young children; of course, I don't think Death Note was aimed at young children, either.

But, among adults at least, people are responsible for their own actions. It doesn't matter whether or not they were influence by anime, by their parents, or by tea leaves: if someone molests a child, *they* are to blame, and they should be punished accordingly. I'm generalizing, but I think you get what I'm saying.

I might just quote myself from somewhere else:

I certainly do!

But I wouldn't nitpick if we didn't have half posters saying absolutely the same. I certainly wouldn't.

So basically, you're openly admitting to talking out both sides of your ass and deliberately trying to rile people up. Fine. Enjoy your trolling. I'll have no part in it.

By the way, posting a quote, a graphic and nothing else is lame.

It's got nothing to do with moral authority - again it's just common sense. Are you telling me you would let somebody babysit minors in your care if you knew that they actively sought out material, whether live-action or animated, for the purpose of deriving titillation from underage characters? If that's true, I certainly hope you are never in the position to make a decision like that.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the relevance of the hypothetical situation you're describing.

Really, I'd like to know, what change do you really hope to bring about through broad restrictions on what multimedia content your friends, neighbors and fellow citizens can see and own? What gives someone a right to parent other adults?

Even though I deliberately did, would you be able to confirm that it's obscene not because of its connections to child pornography, but because of something else, would you? Obscenity could be found in many things, including your average porn film, so why aren't those illegal as well? Clearly, that's the government's way of calling that child pornography while giving the population a nice dribble?

Because I understand the history of the legislation I already know that is *exactly* the purpose of the legislation. I also know that by well-established precedent mere nudity is not in and of itself a sexual activity (no matter how obscene some people apparently find it).
Which means that every attempt to tie edits to this show to some sort of legal maneuvering around Handley are just silly. The law is not an issue with this show. At all.
