Strange... No explanation? Well, that implies one of two things. One, it's a catch-all excuse for something they want to keep under wraps- in other words, executives making changes for personal reasons. But more likely it's something that their target audience- Japanese viewers- don't need explained to them. So the question is- what exactly has been in the JP news lately? |

Well, this is becoming a controversial title.
 Glad I'm buying this one. 2 censorships and this one is only 5 episodes away from completion not counting episode 8.
So what family tragedies are in the news in Japan recently? Any involving weapons? The last censorship involved a rifle. |

Actually there is alot going on there was girl raped possibly by an American. So there is alot of tension between the US and Japan right because of this and there are people wanting the US presance out of japan and alot of other killing going on.

Japan is getting rid of its problems by denying them, splendid! If the world could always be that simple...

They are making the certain T.V. episodes,collectible by announcing this.I wonder if Bandai will get it uncut when they release the DVD.I'd like to know what they altered.Episode 7 has some pretty heavy issues,an ugly episode really.Mega spoiler spoiler[ It's a two-parter explaining Fumika's coma/childhood.It also involves guns.]I do hope Bandai releases the uncut version.

AGAIN?!
The next thing we know, they'll put a black screen on with the text "we're sorry. This episode was too graphic for TV, so we replaced it with these cute pictures of kittens. Buy it when it comes out on DVD. Spend more of your hard earned cash on 2 episode per disc DVDs that cost a fortune." |

To be more precise though, it's not tourists the Japanese are angry at, it's the US Military they are angry with. There are at least 2 claims of rape pointed at the US Marines, and several cases of tresspassing, theft and drunken behaviour by other members of the US Military in Japan. Currently I believe all US military members in Japan are being being told not to leave the US bases unless they have to for outside job purposes.
