hmm I predict the 6:00 pm slot won't have very good ratings.

:B This series is so good, they could run it for 15 minutes and it'd still get high ratings. Fact.

Let me guess... Would the later got more fanservice and more panty shots than usual? Razz

Expect Blair to be a lot more popular with late night viewers only.

I guess japan got my ... 'memo' ... about stupid edits.

We might see the end of censor-goblin in our time.

While I hope you're right, there's a chance it'll be unedited but censored, ala steam in bath scenes. Or it could be scenes of violence, ala School Days. I shall wait and see.

Sounds interesting, but now it makes me worried about the adaptation. There isn't really THAT much fanservice--it disappears from the series for a really long time.

Someone on AOD pointed out it could well be red blood, which seems to be an issue these days.
In the manga, the moon always has blood running down its chin, but that was missing from the anime website...

Actually the moon doesn't always have blood dripping from it.

and there isn't much in the way of free and easy boobies either. Mostly Blair and like..two or three scenes with Tsubaki...no one else is worth seeing naked I guess ( I would have assumed Liz Thompson would have gotten a shot by now ).

There's one..shot that seems like Ohkubo censored himself on, I won't post it up here cause it might not be kosher, but I expect it to be edited out of at least the 6 p.m. broadcast.

I'm trying to think if there were any particularly violent fights, but I'm drawing a blank there.

Which scene are you thinking of?

spoiler[In Chapter 5 there's a scene on page 35 where, in the bath house, Tsubaki overhears a bunch of girls talking about Soul got jobbed by Ragnarok ( or Chrona, whoever you wanna give the credit to ). They're pretty naked. boobs, bootie...tang. Strange thing is, even though you can see bare boob, there's not even an outline of nip ( which isn't too uncommon an art practice I think ).]

By the standards of the good ol' 90's this is pretty tame, but I don't see them including this scene in the show and if they do, it'll be in the prime time sector.

Oh, I totally forgot about that scene. That's easy enough to get around.

Chapter 45 will be tougher (if they even go that far, which I doubt). Similar scene, just drawn out and featuring both genders Wink
