So I guess the noises made during spoiler[the sex scene at the opening] were left in? I didn't watch the episode (have the DVDs) but that's pretty ambitious on AS's part.

Yes, that was left in its entirety.

Yes, unfortunately. Even though there really isn't a concievably good way around it, they left in the "Special Attack Sequence" (Boy, I'm a laugh riot. Anime hyper )

I don't know about anyone else, but as an avid anime fan, I felt really uncomfortable for the first minute or two of that episode. I actually said to someone in response "I'm glad they followed the hooker instead."

I don't know. I was a bit shocked. It was the first sex scene I actually watched in an anime... Embarassed

Did episode 3 remind anybody of Perfect Blue? I hadn't thought about it at first,but it kinda does.

This might be kind of a nit-picky thing, but do you really need to add the "digitally" to most of the edits? That's pretty well understood by this point, as most of the edits would be done via technology versus folks just painting cels.

Yeah, the first two min. of that ep were quite uncomfortable, 'specially with company in the room. I'm going to have to re-watch episode 3 on Thursday night because I missed some of the key points (even though it became pretty obvious in the end) after changing channels during specific sceens. v_v;;;

I think it's quite hilarious that man nipple is fine while female isn't. If you ask me, they're equally disturbing and (in my opinion) just as arousing. Then again, I don't understand most of societies double standards, or its hang ups with the so called "PC".
I do like to rant though.

I was just thinking that no one would possibly think I was watching something inappropriate. The sounds were much less realistic than in the adult video I've seen. (Other than that part though, the dub actress did a good job)

If I remember correctly, the noises in the establishing shot sounded like they were coming from a tape, which is about 3 levels of irony by itself.

And no offense, but I think I need to question Demaar's taste in men. >_>

From what they allowed in episode 3, they could easily air Blue Gender with less edits now... The begining of this episode... was... interesting... The Mute button was my best friend...

I didn't have any problems with the sex noises.

There, I said it! Sorry, but when people are having sex, I sort of expect them to make noise. Sex just isn't as much fun if you have to be silent when you're doing it! Talking, grunting, growling, screaming, woofing like a dog... are all appropriate noises to make while in the throes of passion! Very Happy

Oh, the actual noises weren't a problem for me. It was the context that made me feel very unclean.
