You guys are forgetting two things:
1. If they completely censor any of Haruhi, there shall be a holy war. A large one. 2. I can see them cutting down on some of the swearing, and maybe be slightly less descriptive of the risque scenes, and when they're done with that, they could slap a "Young Adult" label on it and say "lolheregiveusmunnayz". That's what it appears they're going to be doing, anyhow... >_>

As for the Baka-tsuki translations, after having read both them and the original Japanese, I can say that the translations are accurate, but need much more work to smooth them out. |

It's rated 16+, i.e. pretty much an adult rating. |

I don't find a reason really to censor anything, they could just slap on a 16+ and just let the good times role. But really nothing was sexual in the series really; except probably snow mountain syndrome, with the Mikuru copy appearing and all. But nothing happens other than the tempting and all, really nothing to warrant censoring.

For some reason, books are given a lot more leniency than other forms of entertainment (I've heard A Clockwork Orange is a summer reading assignment in some highschools), so I really doubt we have much to worry about in terms of censoring.

This guy gets his head eaten by a shark, lets rate it PG-13!! Its funny because in Europe its the exact opposite (Except England, but they themselves don't like considering themselves European). Nudity there is ok, you walk down a street and see nude magazines in front of your eyes, go to a beach women swim with their tops off. But for example in Germany, something like Jurassic Park was considered forbidden for young children due to extreme violence.

The Haruhi novels will not be watered down for American audiences, though the text will be edited for readability (literal translations of the novels can read kind of awkwardly to mainstream audiences).
