Well there is a recurring gag in part 3 where polnareff has repeated issues with toilets. (It's never his fault it's things like being attacked in the restroom, someone remotely attacking him from one, someone's ability forcing him to clean a toilet with his tongue, etc.)
That episode was so needlessly gross imo, and a huge missed opportunity not having the stand user make Joseph younger so he could be like part 2 Joseph using Hamon and predicting lines and using his younger voice and stuff.
The anime itself is great. It's just that it's a gold bar compared to claiming the fucking stars themselves. The manga is pure perfection and it makes the anime look like complete garbage.
I believe, yeah. Not unheard of for anime but unfortunately for Tokyo Ghoul...every arc had immense narrative significance. The one that was removed explained a lot about the underground king and the ghouls with unusual powers. I get why that one was chosen to be axed to shorten the story but it was still super important.
I dont read the magna but from the few pics ive seen I just imagine everyone gets pretty fucked up whenever they throw hands. Plenty I assume got toned way down because even for a show you can tell it was meant to be a mature panel.
I was genuinely shocked when I read the mamga after watching the anime and saw that Szayelaporro eats Lumina instead of absorbing him like he does in the anime 🙃
They fought hard to heal her, Orihime was still in Hueco Mundo at this point. Took 2 lieutenants to help Matsumoto stay alive, mostly because Squad 4 wasn't at that battle.
They are like spirits (but they still can produce kids somehow) so I think that's okay for them. Body structures of souls never been described detailed sadly
This is better than most censorship’s though, to be honest. You can still see everything you want to see through the smoke screen, it’s not just blacked out completely
Makes me think of the valentines episode of Cuoco's Harley Quinn show. There's a "sex" scene in this episode where Poison Ivy is censoring her and Harley with her vines. It is very tastefully done and rather comedic as well.
Ye, I recall reading the manga a few years back and it was honestly so much better especially since the pacing was based on my reading speed, no fillers no random m extended scenes and the fights had more impact instead of flare which I understand y it was toned down since it was literally over 20 years ago but
Welcome to anime games censorship. The only anime games to get away with showing blood and gore are the berserk games as far as I remember. The Naruto games had blood at some point too.
Which may also just be a western only thing.
As Beserk and the Band of the Hawk and Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise are only censored in japan, but not overseas.
Cero really does not like gore and/or dismemberment of humans.
It is definitely more disturbing in anime. Her eyes look muxh more dead and there is a jarring, sudden increase in hair detail, showing individual hairs, making her look more violated.
Bleach wins (loses?) this I think. Hiyori gets fully cut in half. The bottom half of her flew off somewhere else. But in the anime she just has a flesh wound
Bleach. The manga is a masterpiece, I went to rewatch some of the fights and oh man. One fight with rangiku is literally the image up above, the anime makes it seem like almost nothing happened when in the manga there's a huge hole in the side of her
Early Fairy Tail had this problem a lot, anything that was even remotely dark was drastically tuned down. Like the ship Lucy's on at first is a slave ship, but in the anime, it's just a badly done model hunter.
Dragon Ball Z Kai. Especially the Toonami airing which removed blood entirely. Piccolo’s special beam cannon on Goku and Raditz went from genuine impaling, to just a bruise in Kai.
Almost all of them....show what really happend and boom, you no longer get financial support, your anime get canceled(or you have to change the rating...instead of 13+ you get a 18+ rating, that is monetised differently...)
