I pick option two. Seriously, if it were to compare scene for scene with the chapter in volume 3, I'd still be annoyed (the joke is kinda ruined) but I'd still be able to live with that. |

You're right, it's easy for us to go 'pfft' about it, but it's also an advantage because we're able to see things from both sides and realize that this is ridiculous. Also, I don't think it's really that risky at all. Although I've never studied copyrights issue, I doubt a big company such as Disney would sue Viz on the spot without any negotiations in btw first. That'll just make Disney look stupid. And might I add, it's not as if Disney has been following copyrights issue either (referring to the whole rumor[?] of Lion King/Kimba and Finding Nemo ordeal). Besides, if they had had a problem with the whole Zorro vs Zoro thing, they should realize that it's no big deal, considering that they are in the business of licensing Japanese products as well. |

This may be true, but there is more to consider. Lawsuits can be time consuming and costly. It's generally easier to make a very small change to one small thing than it is to deal with the lawsuits. Now if Viz had changed it to Zolo, and they had tons of other names in the manga that could equally be called out on copyright purposes and were kept as such, that would be another story. That's how I feel about the I''s edit. Putting stars on the nipples, while keeping material in there that is equally as sexually explicit, if not moreso, is foolish. |

Indeed, I would assume that the latter would be of much more concern, but given the small of amount of discussion aimed at YnM in this thread, it appears that it's not as much of an issue. To each his own, I suppose. I personally don't feel strongly about the Zoro vs. Zolo issue one way or another. Granted, it was a bit of an odd decision (and for some reason I have a strong urge to read "Zolo" as "Zulu"), but there have been worse name changes in the past. I mean, manga publishing in the U.S. has come a long way since I first started reading it, so I'm not in much of a position to complain. |

[/quote]Well, the fact is, reading the title as it was created by the mangakas in this case was having the nipples and sexual innuendo there... I doubt YnM would be what it was without all the sexual undertones. So yes, whee for the butchered version
 [/quote]
What i meant is that i don't resent the fact that they are messing with the nipples and the sex scenes specifically, i resent the fact that they are messing with the manga at all. Boo for the butchered version!

.... They took the character out in Yami no Matsuei? O_o;
Jeez. I bet they're going to eliminate Volume 11 altogether.  ;;
Anyway, I don't really care about censorships, just as long as I get my manga dammit. (That definatly goes for One Piece) Oh sure, I was a little irked when they changed the name "drastically". But I eventually got over it. -shrugs- I don't know. Maybe I'm just a carefree kinda gal. o_O; |

That website with the edit list was done by my anime club's president, Scott VonSchilling. I feel special now.

I am mystified by what Viz has done to II's. I remember the series being all about titillation with no subtlety. II's revolves around sexual teases. If Viz edits every single instance of that, there will be nothing left and absolutely no point in anyone looking at the series.

I wouldn't say there isn't anything worth left to it... I thought the characters and story (as a whole) were done pretty well. I do like how Katsura draws his girls though, and thought there was a lot of charm to be found in I''s, especially later on in the series. I was a little irritated on how the last part of the story was handled, but even so, I still enjoyed it to the very end.

Well they edit one thing and have to keep editing other things just to keep it clean. This could lead to some over-editing. |

Yeah, that's the part that kills me. If they were gonna censor/edit it to tone it down, they should have jsut done it to the Shonen Jump USA and left it alone for the graphic novel. Keep it simple, you know? |
