*watches everyone screaming at Viz*
Um, regarding I"s...If I recall correctly, those "breast stars" were actually in the original manga. It WAS a porno picture... so Viz didn't really censor anything in it, I don't think... *slinks away nervously* |

If it's volume 1, on page 65 there's a part where Ichitaka sees a fake topless Iori and her nipples are there. They're barely EVEN there, because Katsura draws them so lightly, and stars would just draw MORE attention to them. You barely even notice the nipples. They aren't dark or anything. x_x; If this is what they edited, then that's just really stupid. The entire first volume has lots of panty shots and dirty images although the girls are always at least in underwear (aside from that shot of Iori in Ichitaka's mind)... They should've just shrinkwrapped it.
At least it might help me sell my Japanese volume 1 when I do sell it, since I can talk about how it's the "uncensored original"~ Last edited by Michi on Sat Apr 02, 2005 12:29 am; edited 1 time in total |

I believe it was in Georgia where a new law on books being sold was put into effect that if they werent suitable for children, they had to be sold behind a curtain or something >_>

Extrapolated from Kevin Martin's own mission statement when he was named chairman of FCC. You should be able to find it easily on any major news site. To paraphrase, he has stated that he feels current indecency rules are too lax, and intends to broaden rules and enforce them with the threat of harsher punishments, such as revocation of broadcast licenses. He has also threatened the cable and satellite TV industry with regulation, even though this clearly would not pass legal muster. As for the Georgia case, a retailer was arrested for passing out a comic to a minor that contained nudity, under a law that bans unsolicited distribution of material that contains nudity, which, by their definition, may be a simple cleft of the buttocks.

Just for laughs I re-edited the image. Now which one looks more inappropriate to you even these look slightly better and I whipped them up in under 4 minutes. Just thank your luck stars (slight pun intended) that it didn't end up like this |

Couldnt you at LEAST give her nipples?
Let me show you how to do it like a PRO! See? THATS how its done! Hah! Viz should hire me for their editing department...actually, Tokyopop is gonna hire me to go back and edit Love Hina, and give all the girls nipples, because Ken Akamatsu omits them. |

Hmmm, maybe it wasn't volume 1 I was thinking of then...
But there really isn't anything to censor huh. Stupid Viz. It COULD make sense for stars there, as it was a porno pic though rather than "Iori is a stripper"...eh whatever. |
