Wait... I forgot we're talking about the anime here

Remember what I posted before? The stories of episode1-3. I was gonna discuss about the nurse which was in chapter 24 in season1 manga. I only heed what the moderator said about discussing to much further in manga within the episodes of the anime in season1 of R+V since it brings out too much spoilers.(I still remember that even though I post very little back then since I was a busy with work/project for our company).

I like fanservice, but I also look at the story, since R+V has an awesome story in the manga and has a great art in the anime version I can't help myself to like them both, since one medium balances the other much like the more in deph hardcore detective stories of Batman (<<<yeah sue me Iam a BIG fan of the BATMAN) to the more kid friendly cartoons.

I also mentioned kid friendly. Will kids late at midnight still watch anime on t.v. in Japan? More importantly if kids see those bats they'llbe more curious about WHY IS IT THERE and ask there parents. Though I dunno about there culture or what, but what about us teens and adults who patronized and love animes like this. Shouldn't we have a little pat on the back when we go home stressed and relax watching something we LIKE TO SEE.

I think there's a lack of knowledge in this thread by assuming that kids are watching Capu2 in the first place. The showed is aimed at otaku - our kind, at least by the time slot it airs in. The censoring is there because of network standards and to get us to buy the DVDs, which also applies to every other fanservice anime out there.

these are the words I try to avoid saying on every fanservice anime. Since what is there to see in R+V lingerie it's not nipples, it's not but cracks, uncensored crotches or anything more perverted than that. It's just women's under garment's for crying out loud and the censor is MASSIVE good heavens...censoring should be timed right. Like when there are nipple shots or other provoking positions. Comics/Manga's games and other medium we see lying around or advertised are everywhere, we see women's undergarments also in commercials and they censor it? Come on now, that is NOT a good way to sell dvd versions since it might backfire since there's no nudity or anything.

And if there was nudity at a certain point of any episode that DVD version is the only one that will sell I tell you. It's better to add deleted scenes like in season1.

I have an issue with this, not the DVD purchase idea, but how the censoring is handled. It is so tacky and such an eyesore. Compare it to something like Sekirei and you see a difference in how it is handled. Sekirei's merged with the background better and flawlessly than what this series is doing, to the point that its absolutely ridiculous.

That's the ticket! Nailed it right in the head. Also adding more CEN SORE mascots for the eyes.

What the anime is doing is basically forcing a mascot down your the audiences throats. Hoping that it'll catch on and become popular.

There was a plush toy of Kou on sale even before the Moka PVC was available. Now pedo bear is promoted.

I've loved the bat since the first series, especially because it was voiced by Koyasu Takehito. His narration in the first series was one of the best parts of the show.

[kenjiharima]

Now to much of that ridiculous censoring makes some rage at him.

I DO care about the plot, but like I've said before and like CGrascal just pointed out, the WAY they're going about the censoring is absurd. And for me it's about artistic integrity, too. Showing something in its original form according to the artists' intent. I understand the possible business motivations for the bat-censoring but that doesn't make it right.

[kenjiharima]

Any news yet if there's a lesser bat and pedo bear version of ep.4?

It's being worked on as we speak. So maybe by later today.

[kenjiharima]

aw nuts! Oh well Iam a patient man when it comes to that part. Also the fan subbing.

I'm still waiting for confirmation on whether or not that version IS less-censored, but if it follows MX's trend, it should at least be better than the other releases so far. Here's hoping.

[kenjiharima]

lesser BATS are extremely appreciated to MX's stations. It's just like your watching nothing but a flock of BATS.

But I can never get enough of the BATMAN. lol

Don't forget Bearman lol

[kenjiharima]

Oh yeah that pedo bear is busy playing now or at least for now...

I also find it exasperating how ultraviolent scenes almost always seem to get a free pass and more people are concerned about seeing even slightly sexual material than violence. Such a weird double-standard.

For the record, I'm not saying I want scenes of violence in Anime to get censored. Far from it. Just that people's attitudes on what's "harmful" to society are so strange to me at times. Or maybe I'm the strange one. Dunno.

[Tempest35]

I swear, if I see any more Censor Bats, I'm gonna break out with my old Nintendo Gun and go 'Bat Hunt' on those things.
There's enough flying around now as is.

[kenjiharima]

The new Pokemon anime has panty shots of it own with Hikari and they dare censor, bend over panty shots? Bah! Pokemon is more kid friendly, but the panties are there. Damn it...Naga in Slayers before is wearing an thong and falls flat on her face butt end and they don't censor that.
Damn Otaku hour...maybe the otaku hour should watch Pokemon and digmon since it has panty shots and digimon had a tentacle scenes in the Japanese version... >.>
