Then it's their own stupid fault for letting kids buy the uncut dvds. Seriously, it's like... they wouldn't let kids buy violent/provacative movies, so I think that a DVD with 'Uncut!' plastered all over the cover would give them some sort of warning...

I thought Sho Pro or Viz was doing it? Nya. Anyway, they left in sexy no jutsu and most blood. ^^; I think that they cut out the nosebleed because it's on American TV and a nosebleed dosen't really ....make sense....

Well about the part with Sho Pro or Viz dubbing it, yes, but I was responding to someone who said that it was toonami's fault that there is more editing...

Also... yeah, you're right about the Un-cut DVD's... I guess I'm just bummed to see one of my favorite anime butchered up so..

I used to work in a video store and it was scary how often parents would see that it was animated and would rent it for their kids. Even with me explaining that *whatever anime they picked up* wasn't for kids, I would still get about 75% of the people who rented anime returning to the store upset because they thought animated=for kids and showed something innapropriate to their kids. All the "uncut" and "not for kids" stickers in the world wouldn't protect those parents from renting "older themed" anime for their young children.

Yeah. I'm not saying it'll prevent it, I'm just saying it's their own stupid fault for not paying attention. There's gonna be uncut on the cover, so they won't have any defense. They'll be the ones that come off as stupid and irresponsible, so I bet 5 bucks no one'll say boo about it. It's those dumb parents who think they can just let cartoons babysit their kids that are the ones who restrict the artisitc community and put up the censors.

Your right that it's the parents fault but do you think any of them actually said "oh you're right it's my fault for not paying attention"? No, they were the ones that freaked out at the people who ran the video store, sent letters to head office and went on a tirade (well not all of them but a couple were like that). I'm not saying it's right, but it's what I've experienced.

That's cool. What's the other show?

I don't get it :cry:

A bit earlier in this thread during the latest episode, they showed Shino's mouth and I previously thought it was the first time we've ever seen his mouth, but Taboo posted a pic showing otherwise, a different one from the one show here at the Hokage's funeral. After she posted the first pic I was so impressed that she could pick out that picture, seemingly from memory. So this 2nd picture is just icing on the cake and quite funny too. :D

If anyone watches AS (which I'm sure most everyone here does)
do you remember that part they did with that email he sent AS?

"I work at video rental store, and a customer came in, and he said, 'I got a DVD here yesterday, and I thought it was going to be a good cartoon for my son, having a frybox, milkshake and a meatwad'...
I said, "Oh yeah, Aquateen hunger force, that show's cool"
Customer, "Well then the meat thing started swearing and talking about hookers, and I found it offensive"
I said, "Yeah, talking meat will do that to ya"
Customer, "I don't think we'll be coming here anymore"

1 Down...
654346743548674 customer left to go."

I thought it was funny, but that just shows that many people don't pay attention to the warnings and when they find it is bad... like Gerbil said... they blaim the video store.

Yeah, I heard they have the same coreographers or they get inspiration from Bruce Lee movies or somthing.

MANGA READER PEOLE!?!?!?!??!

I have a question, and this may contain spoilers, so all you who don't read manga and don't want to spoil the anime for yourself, go look.... at... your... toilet o0

My question is, since I don't read manga, has susuke come back and has his brother appeared again?
Just curious because if the answer's yes, I may start reading the manga o0

It might be, I read magna more then I watch anime. You know when someone went " do you watch AS" I was sitting there for the longest time trying to figure out what AS was...but don't worry I figured it out haha.

But you know, I think that parents, even though they care about their kids sake, they just go overboard. Like for instance. Taking "one nation under god" out of the pledge. *well the dad was complaining about it* IDK it just fustrates me how ignorant people are.

meh... it makes me wonder how atheists get so offended when they have nothing to believe in anyway... anti-theists got a better idea though :p

ANYWAYS, sorry, didn't mean to get all "Holy" and stuff.... I'm no where near that sadly ><
But I remember such a time once when I was renting a movie... it was Tenchi Muyo: The Daughter of Darkness...

Now... Toonami made it to be like a kids show, it was funny, action packed, it was a great anime, but when I went to go rent the movie, it had sex scenes and nudity in it o0
Why? Because that's how the anime was intended to be, for adults. And since they made it out to be a kids show on tv, that's what I expected it to be when I went to rent the movie...

In the english dub... he keeps saying "Believe it!".... are they trying to get him to have a catch phrase like Yabba Dabba Doo?

Before long you'll see kids running around doing sign language shouting, "I'm doing a jutsu, believe it! Now let's eat some Ramen!"
