"Regarding censorship in manga/anime"
, posted Mon 13 Jan 20:42:
i have been wanting to get the Dragon Ball manga (graphic novels) released in the U.S. for a while now. Ive hesitated because i dont know if its censored or not (i know the crappy CN anime version is). It would be risky for me to shell out all that money without making sure. I cant really tell if its censored or not since i only saw the anime up to a certain point while i was in mexico ( i had to come back). so if anyone knows please tell me. . I'm also hesitant to get the yuyu hakusho DVD's. they have funimation all over it.......ugh.......so also let me know if those are uncensored or not. (I heard that they show it on CN......ugh)

I am pretty sure it uncensored.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - In the Dragonball manga the gang is ayt Uranai Baba's trying to get the location of the last Dragonball and Yamucha is fighting an invisible man. In the Anime aired on Cartoon Network Kuririn asks Goku to go off and find Roshi and bring a can of Tomato soup so that he can spill it on the guy. In the English manga however it shows Kuririn's true plan that Goku went off to get Roshi AND Bulma and made Roshi's nose bleed by exposing Bulma's breast they showed everything uncensored as far as I know
End of Spoiler

The DB mangas actually got flack for their risque content, so I think you got nothing to worry about.

hmmm does anyone know of any mangas or [dvd] animes that were censored? nearly all of them say "UNCUT!!!" or "UNCENSORED?!?!?!?!" on the back but it's kinda hard to trust several of these companies ....

Kite and Mezzo Forte have both censored/uncensored versions. The Gundam and DBZ episodes should also be uncut(some have a Cartoon Network label on them indicating they're the censored versions).
Mangas are pretty much intact, in fact I was flipping through an Animerica issue and saw Video Girl Ai, the content bordered on hentai.

It's wierd that they actual market and print "Cartoon Network Version" on a Japanese cartoon. Cartoon Network must be unbelievably popular.

The "uncensored" North American release of Kite still has scenes edited out that were present in the films original version.

Having never seen the North American version, I find this interesting. What scenes were cut?

They might do this for the moms and dads who want to buy anime for their kids but don't want to their kids to see the naughty bits. Its also easier for the store clerks to just point to the label and say they have nothing to worry about.
The funny thing is that this country censors a lot more for sexual content then violence. The people here are a lot more worried about making babies then killing babies. Man is this country screwed up or what.

The sex scenes involving the younger Sawa and one with the girl playing basketball.
Sex with minors = no-no

Yeah, its kinda hard to trust something that says "as seen on cartoon network" all over it.

damn, freeter, you were right..........they should really take that "As seen on Cartoon Network!" crap off the first volume. I also compared the first volume to a manga # 2 i got in mexico, and they are identical! (the mexican version was intact)
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - its the part when goku taps bulmas crotch to see why there isnt any padding (like grandpa used to have) so he takes off her panties (i like to call them "pannies") and freaks out!

The thing is it helps sells the title, so ergo it goes on the GN. As much editing as the CN does, it still has helped pumped more money into the industry leading into more uncut DVD's...
And Funimation won me over with the awesome job they did on FB Volume 1. What a great job they did on that disc...Hmm...Furuba...
