If Evangelion can sell shaving razors and lipstick, surely Attack On Titan can sell underwear.

Based on what they're wearing, I kind of want a cycling sports anime, but with Titans. It would be played totally serious, but the overall absurdity of the premise has people wondering if it is a big joke.

Reminds me of the poorly photoshopped censorship of some VIZ and 4kids stuff last decade.

Laws or no laws, this really won't stop Malaysians from seeing the manga in its original uncensored form.

This isn't the 20th century anymore.

Sure... but they can't legally buy the uncensored version in their language either.

It's noted that there is the possibility of getting permission from the Malaysian film board, but does that apply to books? It would probably be too much of a hassle and cost to go through them, so painting on pants is cheaper.

People were drawing pornographic versions of the Female Titan even before it appeared in the anime.
