I know, but it's still funny that the TV edition here would be more explicit than the TV release there.

Considering that

1. Japanese TV has clamped down on nudity since the mid 90's while America's standards have loosened (Compare South Park with Simpsons). Simply put Ranma 1/2 could never appear on a good channel in today's market while no one batted an eye at Ranma's nudity when it first appeared. Hell compare the amount of nudity you can see in a Shonen Jump manga in the 80's and now. You don't see boobs up front in today's shonen jump

2. Code Geass aired at 5:00 PM in Japan compared to I think 1:00 PM in America (I watch the dub on AS websites)

It's not suprising at all

I think you mean 1:30 AM

For some reason I wrote PM instead of AM, the point is that Geass is aimed at a slightly younger audience in Japan than it is in America.
