Moe fans were complaining about stuff not being licensed (it's still uncommon see Tenchi's coment above) not about censorship. Bund is in no way a moe show, it lacks moe chara, it's not slice of life, there's no forced affect to any of the characters. I like comedy TV censors quite a lot, e.g. Hayate no Gotoku. I find echii comedy series far more funny for all the censor. |

Well, that's why I'm not the one doing the censoring. The point I'm making is that Vampire Bund isn't a show designed solely to pander to loli fans...it's a good story with really nice production values with underage nudity just kind of slapped down in the middle. It's really jarring and unnecessary, and if someone wants to fix that little bit of continuity I don't have a problem with it (just like I wouldn't have a problem with anyone getting rid of excessive fanservice obviously included to attract viewers in an otherwise really excellent story). |

Yeah, I can completely understand that about Manimani. The definite focus of that series was on portraying the awe and atmosphere of space, which it did spectacularly. It had the romance in the background as a sort of running joke. and I haven't seen Hidamari, so I can't really say anything, and it is a shaft title after all. So I'd be hesitant <.<. But Sketchbook Full Colors (another one which I'm pretty sure lacks a north American release) is fantastic. |

Hope the MB's problems don't go the way Justin and Zac predict, or that they can find a way to work smaller [more subbed releases again?].
Thanks to Daryl [miss animejump :( ], Zac and Justin for talking the real stuff. |

People might be disappointed to hear that one of the japanese 2ch sources was reporting Ironman will not be premiering this season. Moonphase now lists it for October.
One thing I don't understand is how old do people expect these characters to look. Is a 1000 year old person supposed to look the part? Or is the Shana trick of their age freezes when they become immortal a problem? (Shana's official age is "Looks 12, actual age unknown".) Yes, they made her look 9 for a reason and they actually tried to make it a plot device supposedly too. But how do people expect unrealistically aged people to appear?
And was kinda half quoted by Zac in a distorted form. |

It hasn't been seconded yet, so I want to second Figure 17 as something from M-B to pick up because it's probably already hard to find and is excellent. I rated it Masterpiece on ANN. Think of it as a slice-of-life plus alien invasion action series directed by Hayao Miyazaki that wasn't directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

PREACH, BROTHER! Sentai did good with Hidamair Sketch but where's the Minami-ke and hell, where's Manabi?! It's the damn studios! It's the damn studios they love, not the moe. They love KyoAni, not moe. They love bargain-bin cliches wrapped up in a studio with big names and its wretched and RAWR!!! THE SWINE THAT SAYS THEY LOVE MOE, HALF OF THEM dON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MOE IS!!!! Seven minutes in, ya bet ya butt I'll be back shortly. ------------ Dear AWO guys, stop yelling. Thankx. You sound like talk radio they way you talk. [EDIT: Dear Splitter, stop double-posting. Use the Edit button instead. ~Zalis] |

Apparently with fans of Vampire Bund, they expect them to appear like something they can diddle themselves to. That being the reason they made her 9. *pukes in a bucket* I expect them to wear clothes. Last edited by Paploo on Fri Mar 12, 2010 12:23 am; edited 1 time in total |

Actually, I'm pretty sure you're the one who hasn't watched it. That or you're a first-class snob. |

They're not yelling. There's just heavy, HEAVY compression applied to their voices (exactly like talk radio, actually), and it makes them sound all weird. |

Vampire Bund is by Shinbou-kantoku, which by default makes it art.

Is anyone suspicious that Funimation did this as a marketing stunt? "OH hey, guyz, we're going to censor an anime because it's not fit for you to see ..." *raaaage* "Ha ha ... jk, it won't be censored!"
Result: a lot of people who wouldn't have been interested otherwise will check it out (i.e. buy it) - I am one of these people. If they don't edit the DVD release, then I'll buy it. But before this whole "censoring" thing ... I had never heard of the show and probably wouldn't have even noticed it's release. |
