What the hell's up with weird anime censoring in some scenes lately? Ao no Exorcist s02 and the newest Boku no Hero season both do it, they darken the screen and it's super fucking annoying.

Is this shit here to stay?

It's to prevent seizures.

Watch the bluray versions.

>lately
It has been going on since that porygon episode aired in the 90's newfag

...

Ikakku MODarame please use your BANkai

Hasnt 4kids level "censorship" Been gone for a while except in maybe Pokemon?
And the screen darkening thing has been around for a long time. Sure in some shows like Jojo theyll lack out parts that are gorey for the TV version, but when the whole screen darkens its not really censorship its just to prevent seizures.

Incentive to buy Blurays

Yokai, Yugioh, and Pokemon are the only modern shows that get 4kids

Danball Senkei and Digimon used to but they were cancelled

Yet kids in North America still wear their skirts low regardless. Oh America/Canada, when will you ever learn?

At least they acknowledge legs are the best part of a woman

Most anime on TV airs on Adult Swim these days, thankfully

I used to watch some shows on YTV up here in Leaf Land or that other channel I forgot. OR the more "unconventional" way would be to have my relatives from Japan ship me boxes (or bring home by luggage) of VHS tapes of recorded TV anime every year when I head over to Japan to visit them.

Imagine the following:
>have relatives set their VHS recorder for specific days and time to record certain shows (i.e. Doraemon, Pokemon, Digimon, Tokusatsu shows)
>certain episodes get cut due to "1 hour special airings," but most of the recorded shows record the full episodes just fine
>some shows air at night, so relatives put a piece of cloth over the TV screen since you need the TV on to record said shows
>glorious_240p_or_360p.jpg
>mfw recorder from 1990 or early 2000s era TV and VHS recorder
>mfw recorder broke during 2007 era (I think)
>mfw relatives threw away TV when Japan went full digital sometime in 2012 I believe?
>mfw I wanted to play Time Crisis 4 on the PS2 when I headed over to the country sometime in 2014.

Reminder that I was an elementary school kid back when VHS was still a thing. Obviously when DVD became more widespread they switched to said format.

>they darken the screen and it's super fucking annoying.

Nigga what are you talking about. That's 100% Japan's doing cause of seizures from that pokemon episode decades ago, they've been doing it for years, get gud fag

Christ that's one of the worst drawn censorship attempts I've ever seen

This isn't new. It has happened since the 90s.
Go back to Facebook and die.

This is the second or third thread like this I've seen in the last month. Fuck off.

it's hilarious because Japanese girls dress conservative & western girls dress like that

Saving murrikan kids morals, one skirt length at a time.

>it's hilarious because Japanese girls dress conservative
Someone talking out their ass? Someone talking out their ass.

>Japanese girls dress conservative
Not by the west's standards. Japs are okay with showing much more leg than most western countries are.
Now, boobs on the other hand, they are way more sexualized and therefore covered in Japan than in, say, 'murica.

What happens in that episode?

When the episode aired in Nipland, hundreds of kids got into hospital with seizures.

It's only a matter of time until 'Murica gets on Thailand's level.

...

you know it's not even the censorship that gets me it's just how blatantly badly drawn it is

...

Why

yeah, nips don't go outside in short skirts in the middle of winter or anything like that.

cant have a nigger wearing an apron because das racist

Is it about muslims?

This image is the perfect reaction for itself.

That's where you're wrong! Instead, they wear leg warmers or thigh high socks made out of heat insulating fabric.

that skank better put on her apron or ol' jebediah is gonna get the belt.

I actually couldn't make the connection until anons pointed it out.

Like, holy shit, I want to fight for niggers' right to wear apron on screen, dat's racist.

Its the Curse of Porygon, which infected all chinese cartoons in the 90s.

What is even the point of this?

Oh, so I need to wait 3 months for nobody to rip the BDs?

That cant be fucking real? Are they still doing same shit as 4kids was?

Women aren't supposed to be housewives

Actually, this was done by the Japanese animation studio.

Were you reading tails gets trolled before you posted, user?

What? No, it's because they didn't want her to be a stereotype like in early Tom and Jerry.

They're payed by edit so they have to change as much as possible, even if it's completely pointless.

the apron is probably reminiscent of the "mammy" stereotype

like that maid from Tom and Jerry

Hmm, I wonder what Jotaro is doing behind that shadowy area. It's so hard to tell...

Who remembers this?

...

There is a reason, or a better reason that usual for this one.

The apron, plus the hair and the fact that she has black skin makes her come off as the stereotypical "mammy", so they got rid of the apron/

Did they darken that scene to avoid seizures?
Is the light emitted from his cigarette so volatile that it'd cause a seizure?

pokémon still gets butchered by the fucking us pokémon company

changing the bgm from hype to dull
editing the picture and shit

prime example for: watch it in japanese

This one always bothered me. Assuming the thing works, the kid's going to die in a much more bloody and, if the death is not instantaneous, painful way than if he was simply shot. And Americans are used to seeing people get shot anyway.

Whats the context behinds this

Isn't it always?

I love jelly donuts

>prime example for: watch it in japanese
But isn't that everything?

remember when Tokyo Ghoul used negative colors to censor blood

That was terribly jarring

>lately
Were you born yesterday?

There's 7 seconds of intense red/blue strobing that caused a lot of seizures. Nintendo pulled a Chris Benoit on the whole thing and Porygon hasn't been in any episodes since aside from a couple of OPs years later.

He is underage, you can't show people under 18 smoking or drinking.

American censors want to turn their boys gay by never giving them weird feelings when watching cute animated girls.

An episode with a giant tentacruel destroying some buildings was also banned from airing for a few years because of 9/11.

I'm interested in knowing whether this would've been censored even more in the UK, as they're pretty happy to airbrush out any cigarettes visible whenever they can. Even from things like the Abbey Road album cover 30 years after it was released.

>Censoring
>Wait for BD
>This is Tokyo Ghoul BD uncensored version

Same goes lately for Jojo's Diamond is Unbreakable... BD version had still some of bloody parts blackned with paint, which in older titles wasn't so bad as this one.

What's he supposed to be holding there? A shadow?

>Same goes lately for Jojo's Diamond is Unbreakable... BD version had still some of bloody parts blackned with paint, which in older titles wasn't so bad as this one.

What? Diamond is Unbreakable (true) Blu-Ray only will come out in July
Only because it is in 1080p it doesn't mean it is the blu-ray edition

It's just human head.

I've watched today BD release and I saw tv version which had a lot of more black shadows over everything. That's why I waited for uncensored version, but still the one I've watched had holes in bodies or cut fingers with black spay on them.

This will never not be the most retarded one of the bunch

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of Americans don't carry guns everywhere or live in crime riddled neighborhoods.

That certainly is contrary. There majority of the population should be in cities. All the filth and crime is in cities.
Shouldn't most of you encounter it pretty regularly as a matter of fact?

I guess this confirms that Boku no Pico Academiafags are all newfags.

>biggus hairius dickus

and the scene it was banned for is in the English S1 opening anyway.

The main reason they censor guns in cartoons isn't because of violence, but because they don't want some kid to accidentally shoot someone with an irresponsible parent's gun. Even if it had nothing to do with the show, they don't want the media to make a connection to the show.

It sounds crazy, but that kind of shit used to happen CONSTANTLY with Pokemon. Any time a kid did anything, they'd inevitably find a way to link it to Pokemon.

>weird anime censoring
To protect the pure minds of the children.

So 4kids censor on the same level of islamic countries.

I remember when there was very small censorship in series I have watch at the beginning of 90s. Some of the shows were Japanese releases with lector, some were strangely Italian or French versions with lector, not many had dubbing even. At least Dragon Ball Z had plenty of blood, we had Pokemons without any cuttings, I do even remember we got (!Not Anime Alert!) Cow & Chicken episodes with them smoking cigarettes. I don't remember my friends starting to drink, smoke, fight or anything like it because of movies, cartoons, etc. They started whatever they did because of their own parents. So it's funny how people are trying to cover and shade kids from everything, but most of kids nowadays learns everything from people who take care for them, parents, grandparents, family, friends, etc.

I am pretty normal person, yet I was exposed to really shitty things in 90s.

I've seen retards defend the Pokemon dub even after immediately bashing anything else 4kids has done. In fact, I've noticed a disturbing trend of faggots defending and justifying these changes for kids anime but will call fowl on anything else.

Nothing beats the level of arabic censorship.

Their censorship made the show incoherent.

I've spent my entire childhood think I'm some sort of an idiot.
Until I watched the unedited versions.

Liar. Next you're going to tell me you don't put your shoes in the fridge or tip the rabbi for circumcising you wife's son.

Took me a second to realize they just lengthen her shorts.

I think there's a difference between censoring and taking measures to avoid causing seizures. Cutting things out because "oo, they might offend someone" is censorship; darkening the screen because someone might have an epileptic fit and die if you don't is using your brain.

Imagine watching that as a kid.
Censoring legs/thighs/arms didn't seem enough.
Most of the dialogue was changed.
There was an episode called "moonlight sonata", I didn't understand half of it or why did the doctor needed to avenge the pianist, but I had a crush on her, then after watching the uncensored version I found that she was a he.
>tfw your first waifu is a tranny

this reminded me of terra formars when it was airing

What the fuck. I didn't know pokemon was still getting edits like this. I figured that shit had stopped once 4kids lost it.

What even is this?

It does not work that way.

>Draw a cute girl.
Is a girl for all intents and purposes, even if the fucking Author says she is a he.
Seriously, fuck that guy.

Going by the angle of the spring, wouldn't the hammer just launch upward, completely missing Coby's head?

There's a joke about afros in there somewhere.

It is because Japan's modern censorship laws, this isnt the 80s anymore when we had loli hentai ovas and gore.
