6. Keith's "Well you gotta admit she sure is sexy" changed to "Well you

24. Synapse's "As I pray that his soul finds peace..." changed to "As I hope

25. Second ending theme and animation not used.


Well they turned the Blue Pencil Brigade loose on this episode. Any
suggestion that Kou's interest in Nina might involve more than holding hands
and sharing an ice cream soda at the local malt shop was ruthlessly removed.
If this wasn't bad enough Lt. Burning's death was one of the major events in
the series. Particularly since his death seemed so pointless and
unnecessary. CN did everything they could to tone down the effect of that
death on Burning's friends and collegues. These Toonami level edits are
really doing a disservice to this show.
