I was watching Miyuki-chan in Wonderland the other day, and then happened upon this site where there's ecchi screenshots of various anime. Low and behold I find this screenshot that's not in my licensed version from ADV. What gives? I've found a lot of my licensed anime is edited (ie Maze Mega Burst Space), and even some of my fansubs are edited. So, how are we supposed to get the good stuff when it's not here.

Discuss, and post more screenshots of nudity that you don't see in the licensed stuff.

And by Maze, I mean the TV series, not the OAV. The TV series is 26 eps long, not 25, and there's a lot more nudity than what we're given (ie none compared to just enough). In fact the episode they don't show can only be found in raw Japanese, and it's your classic onsen episode.

sometimes they take stuff because of age. the hentai series twin angels had massive amounts of scenes removed because the male character, a little boy, was in a lot of the ecchi/hentai scenes. obviously this isn't consistent among others.

regardless, give us the link to this site you speak of.

The Miyuki I remember, it's right after she wins the Chess game, the outlaw star stuff I've not seen but I still don't buy it. I'd have to see it in video before I believed.

they severely edited the Outlaw Star epoisodes, graphing out nipples and such

But the pics in>>178447and>>178446were from a preview found on the Japanese DVD release, IIRC. Or was it the LD release?

Ai Yori Aoshi during the hotel scene. This screenshot shows a bit of nipple. The episode itself has none. All nudity in the series shows no nipples anyways, so why this one particular one?

Actually the LDs show everything for some reason. This goes for MAZE, Miyuki, and everything else. That's where these screenshots come from.

I thought this one was on the US DVDs? It's been a while since I've watched it, but I seem to remember this part being in a preview.

Don't remember this part, but I might have to go looking for it after I get back from work

Usually it's a disparity between TV rights and home video rights. There are some small missing scenes in things like Boogiepop Phantom and Karekano also because the company had the rights to the TV broadcast version and not the home video version which added or changed small things.

With stuff like Miyuki where it's an OAV though, it wouldn't be the case.

Exactly. So in the case that ADV's taken over the rights to the OAV, how is it that we got the edited version, but people overseas got the good stuff?

You kidding? Shoot. That's only going to happen if I actually travel there. Even the hong kong versions aren't that good.

I'm familiar with that site, BUT aren't there any other sites out there like it? Anime Beaver went down a while ago.

99% of Anime that goes through a middle man (US distributor) is edited in some way. Hentai not as bad, but it still happens.

178446 and 178447 were never part of the Outlaw Star show, even in Japan. Those are stills from the promotional short that was made to get attention for the show before production--made about 3 years earlier than the show. The short can be found at the very beginning of Vol 1 of the original Japanese LD--perhaps elsewhere. The actual TV series that was produced was less ecchi than the "pilot".

...but OP is right. A LOT of anime is edited. This is what prompted me to say screw imports and I just went with the original Japanese releases instead.

178749 is right as well. MANY shows are like this. Outlaw Star and Evangelion are other examples. The American companies have rights to the TV-broadcast version, not the "video version". The Outlaw Star LDs even say "Video Version" on them to distingish from the edited "broadcast" content. In the case of Eva, the American videos have the original shoddy-quality scenes in the later episodes whereas the LDs have the improved re-animated scenes.

One other example of censoring is El-Hazard. The original release showed nipples very clearly during the various bathing scenes. Even most of the Japanese releases had the nipples painted out the same color as the rest of the skin. But the "collector's Edition" LD set has the nipples in all their glory.

There's also the infamous Nene shower scene in the original Bubblegum Crisis. I know it was animated because the official BGC books of the time have still shots of it. But I have never seen it in video, and I have both the original LDs and the Collector's edition LD set--neither have it.

178191 is damn right.

It took a bit, but as promised the screenshot from MAZE. It's from episode four when she's swimming in the lake. In my version she's naked, but completely covered up by water. Episode 26 shows EVERYTHING, but to be honest I don't think I'm really going to go out and guy a Laser Disc player just so I can see the occasional nipple.

Anyone who's got the newest release of the Street Fighter movie has this little edited scene that none of us were allowed to have.
I'd still like to know which version has the Kikoken she uses. I've seen the gif (have the gif actually), but no version of the movie that I own (six versions so far) has that particular scene.

The Kikouken scene was probably used in the FMV game released in Japan for the Saturn and PSX, I think.

Odd, because the Nene scene is in my copy from a friend of mine's LD set.

Actually only the hotel scene in outlaw star may not have been in the series. The other one is in the last ep, when they recapped most of the series.
As for miyuki, I have the ADV release and I have that scene.
As for the other series, I can't confirm or deny.

Are you sure about the Nene scene? Do you know where it is (as in what volume, approximate time?) I was under the impression that it was animated but NEVER released.

The attached picture is scan from "Bubblegum Crisis '89", the official film book published by Bandai. The attached page shows the scene in question, and the text in parintheses below the first picture says the scene was cut in the middle of production.

The miyuki scene is there BUT it's a close up version so you aren't able to see any nipples.

The only hentai I recall being edited (in such a way you lose a scene, not credit editing) was Yakin Byoutou but CPM added those scenes back in a later dvd release. There's no reason for hentai to be edited 'cause no matter how loli the girls are drawn they will say "over 18". Technically so since the voice actors are over 18.

Sorry, my mistake, i was thinking of a different scene in a later volume. That scene isn't in any version of the ovas that i have gotten my hands on yet (the DVDs, VHS, and the LD) (actualy, this is the first time i have seen that scan).
>> Doc
>>179049

Most of the time, yes.

Some Japanese LDs had English Subtitles. Ghost in the Shell and Memories both did, for example. But most did not.

I remember years ago (before I knew any Japanese) watching LDs and following fansub scripts printed out off the web to figure out what was going on.

Back then the choice between waiting months (if not years) for new releases--which were often edited releases if not nth-generation fansubs, and getting a nice, crisp, LD picture with a minimum of waiting was an obvious choice!

Nowadays digisubs make that a lot more difficult of a choice. But it's still irritating when the 'subs are made from a censored or shortened broadcast video as opposed to the full DVD.

Kite has a scene edited out, even in the "uncut" version. It's the flash-back where loli(er)-Sawa is raped.
>> SecondsAnyone? !gdvHW30iY2

There's more to editing than just missing scenes. And it even happens to Hentai, eventhough it shouldn't since they should know the only ones fapping to Hentai would be people who think the Anime style is hot to begin with. So no need to 'change' it to be more american or have a certain script or something.

Actually I bought the outlaw star box set. and it has those scenes uneditted. I also has the episode that wasn't even played on CN. The are at a resort planet because gene is looking for rare caster shells and aisha is seen topless quite a few times.

It is Bandai's Outlaw Star Perfect Collection Box Set. The episode I am talking about is episode 23. Hot Springs Planet Tenrei

Then I must have a re-release or something, it's from Bandai's "Anime legends" series.

Thought so, ain't mine release but it does say to contain 26 episodes so perhaps that Bandai have left it untouched.

Just bothered to check it and it seems allright, ep 23 is present.

So is there any difference between the perfect collection and the Anime Legends release, other than disc number and price?

I have the older release of Perfect Collection and was wondering if the anime legends offered anything improved over the perfect Collection.

I can't tell that for sure, but I can say it's full of nudity if that's what you want. The episode 23, mentioned above a couple of times, is present on the Anime Legends release and uncensored by the looks of it since I just watched it.
