Censorship...


I fricken hate censorship it lessens the quality of the entertainment and if a company uses self-censorship it should be cheaper and a warning label saying; "Not all Original Content" I hate it when people do this to artistic expression.

Anyway enough of my stupid ranting...

What the hell was censored that fell out of that box in the first episode?

PLEASE, HELP!...

This question is really nagging me.

I was thinking either alien equipment (censoring doesn't make sense, but K's reaction does) or sex toys (both censoring and K's reaction make sense).

Don't forget, this program comes from Japan, a country that has the gall to censor genitalia in basically all porn.

I'm sure this thing was intentional, though. It'll just be one of anime's great mysteries, like the identity of Kaji's killer in "Evangelion".

yeah, that's true. sex in japan is like a big open taboo.

but yeah, probably intentional, i've never seen an American company blur nudity in anime, it usually just gets cut completely, like the hot springs episode of outlaw star.

and on a side note, i've always thought that Kaji's killer was Misato, because Eva is just that kind of anime lol.

That bugged me too. I'd also guess it was sex toys, but I didn't want to think of the Anime like that. Unfortunately for me the 13th episode had a scene where they did censor a sex toy, so I must guess that it was that very object(s). However, all in all, it didn't cheapen the series for me one bit!

I'm thinking it was sex toys or some type of alien probes. I remember they censored the object the mom had in her hand when the main character was tied up in the hotel room.
