[News] Sci-Fi Channel brings their anime back to life

So far the only things I've seen censored in GitS:SAC:SSS were:

Spoiler:

Those robot maids having their bare-bottoms censored, dunno why. I guess their thongs are showing too much or something

Poot//Pooto seemed to have a tiny censorship, it sounded like he was saying "Fuckers" when he said he wanted to kill them all but they just let it be silent.

Everything else seems to be left untouched, but I'll have to double check with the original to see. I haven't seen it since the original release.

How ya doing, buddy?

So after re-watching the Japanese version,

Spoiler:

yeah that one censor with the maids was pretty much just to prevent their butts from showing. You can show people blowing up their faces but not a bare butt.

I still think Poot was calling them fuckers, or motherfuckers, or something of that nature. That silence (along with the fact his mouth was moving) kind of bothered me so I guess that's why D:

I think the Major was wearing skimpier underwear in the last scene too, but I dunno. At that point I wasn't really staring at her butt.

I've already pre-ordered the limited edition DVD. According to Rightstuf (who I didn't pre-order from, but they had a description of the thing) it contains:

DVD Features: Uchikomatic Days, Work World File, Designing the Future Car, Making of Tachikoma Robot, English Production Interview, Mitsuhisa Ishikawa Interview, Trailers, Storyboards, Behind-the-Scenes Interview.

I personally think the $20 price difference (even less if you buy it online due to discounts and stuff) is worth it, but I'm a huge fan of the series so don't listen to me.

I wasn't even aware that Highlander had an Animated Movie. I am kind of afraid of what that holds...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

AS would probably have the same edits:

They aren't really allowed to show nudity on basic cable (well, there is no regulation saying you cannot, but a lot of networks don't want to risk the loss from advertisers it might cause), if you've seen Stand Alone Complex and 2nd GIG there have been a few scenes during the series where the nudity was either removed or censored. I guess if she was wearing granny panties instead of a thong they wouldn't have censored it. Then again I don't really see the fuss about it, it's just a butt. An animated butt even.

I doubt they would let poot's original line air on basic cable without changing it somewhat.

The blood and violence would have stayed the same since that wasn't edited.

Basically it would have been exactly the same as Sci-Fi's except with the [adult swim] watermark logo and the various adult swim bumps and commercials.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
