Why this kind of topic? Simple....after watching many and many anime i was wondering is there is someting bad in the anime producers mind.
Here in Italy we watching anime since '70 and only in recent years we have seen a censorship campaign near the absurd, with elimination of Japanese writing and changing names...but this is made by the italian broadcaster...but when this happen in japan?
Why i say that? Simple...i watching "Girls Bravo", a perfect example of business censorship.....
Think a little and you will find that recently many anime missing some scenes (like nudity o better violence like Gantz) scenes that you will see only if you buy a DVD, scenes that maybe not need a censorship but for selling all is allowed. And "Girls Bravo"? Think an anime of 23 minutes...where 16 are censored...and when i say censored..i intend VERY censored.... big white fog in bathroom scenes, zoom camera (very ugly) in pervert scenes, big black fog (!) in nudity scenes not in a bathroom...and naturaly a massive lack of explicit sexual scenes.....that you can see in the official site......
Why the hell someone broadcast an anime with a sexual target with many things that normal people will never see? Only for force the users to buy a DVD (expensive naturally)? This is the most big example but i noticied that the new trendy is similar.... censorship is a better business that the explicit sex.....hope that not so many anime will have this kind of behaviour....
