Does Dark Horse even have a history with censorship? If this were Viz we were talking about, you'd definitely have a third leg to stand on, but unless there's something I don't know, I'd hold off on the doom and gloom.

I'm not familiar with ElfQuest, but the big difference between F/Z and most other things is that the scenes of concern involve children. I'm not aware of any other series that has anything like what Ryuunosuke does to the kids he collects. Normally I laugh off people worried about censorship, but America isn't nearly as okay with this kind of graphic violence with kids as they are with adults so it's something a publisher might be much more reluctant to take a risk with. Adding nudity to mix just makes it worse, though I guess the one you actually see naked looks at least closer to being a teenager than the ~8 year olds he's so fond of. Anyway here's the scenes I'm talking about.
They have a bit of a history, but it's from quite some time ago. Narutaru is the big one, where they removed like a dozen pages from a volume and then just didn't release the last few volumes at all due to the content. I know they censored one or two other things... Canon God Exxaxion, I think? And they did some dialogue changes in Gunsmith Cats relating to a character's age, not sure if they changed any visual content in the original release. That was a different era though, so it's not indicative of their current approach. And unlike Narutaru, they should already know about the content in this series. |

i think not. this is dark horse comics were talking about so i might have them.HOWEVER it will definitely depend on the conditions of getting it licensed. if the author and the original licensor give DH the rains to do whatever it wants (which at times is really high), then the odds are high that DH will edit them out to prevent it from getting the dreaded M rating. but if they told them to have the US release not edited at all which was the case when they licensed Shiro's ghost in the shell series, then it will be there in all its glory.
and unfortunately the odds of the fate stay night VN being released here is slim to none. no company not even DH would touch that unless there is a shitload of censorsing for the VN. so the idea of the fate zero VN being released too is a real pipe dream. |

1) Dark Horse doesn't release VNs. 2) There are a number of companies releasing VN in the US, including eroge VN 3) Fate/Zero are novels, not a VN. |
