One thing's for certain, CW may demand the edits but it's clear 4-kids was doing the actual edits when they were still around. Ever since Vortex took over, the editing seems to have gotten much better in quality.

Does anyone know how they handled the guns the cops were holding when they pulled over the androids? The last time I actually watched, they were already up to Vegeta fighting Semi-Perfect Cell.

They cut out the entire scene where Cell absorbs 'the richest man in Gingertown'. He just thanks Piccolo and then he suddenly disappears in the shot immediately after with no explanation at all. :roll:

And here I was disappointed that the Nicktoons version cut so much of it out, atleast it's ...

I guess its like Nintendo in the 80/90's. :lol:

I don't think that's accurate, Nintendo never really got to the point of forcing other companies to censor death. Wolfenstein 3D still had you murdering people with guns, just English speaking generic soldiers without any blood involved and there ...

The Australian Kai edits are an f-word joke and even makes Toonzai edits look decent.

Anyone seen Dr. Brief smoking a fag and then they had a little blur over it? :lol:

For anyone curious as to what that looks like. :roll:


But, like I said. After ...

Wasn't Saban telling them to do it, though? They blamed the FCC but then later admitted they were forced to edit it beyond what the FCC would've required.

Well, not yet. That's is how it will probably turn out, but this ANN article says that other companies could still technically get the rights to the "Yu-Gi-Oh" series. As I mentioned earlier, I think this is anything but good news. A few years ago, 4Kids started posting professionally-subtitled ...

Have his standards changed since the 'kids aren't allowed to cry' days? :roll:
... What?

The pic Pokewhiz7 posted. You think that's bad? They even censored out an imagination bubble.

4-kids DID make edits Saban didn't, like farmer with shotgun, halos, and ...

Saban now owns the CW4Kids/Toonzai block, and all of 4Kids assets. I don't know how important this could be to the block, or if it will affect DBZKai but we'll see where the show goes from there. I personally feel that it could be good news, but again lets wait and see.

Have his standards changed ...

Some of the new animated scenes in Kai still make me wonder if they were done in MS Paint or not, it just looks so.. Unfitting and inconsistent with the next up animation (original).

Nah, that would require them to do it from scratch. More likely, they fired up Photoshop and just used the ...

Looks like a 5 year old made it in MS Paint. Yep, that's 4-kids.

Funimation / Ocean Group really is dedicated to censoring out anything that even has a 5% chance of getting them in trouble, aren't they? :roll:

Here I thought ...

Well played, sir.

How about the dialogue where he said he had hoped to toy with Krillin a bit longer? Not to mention, he hadn't shown to be quick on the kill. He was beating Gohan then stepping on his head while taking his sweet time. Later on, he was blasting Piccolo with miniature beams just to make him suffer ...

Personally, it goes against Freeza's characterization for me. He's always short, sweet (lol), and to the point, unless you have something he wants.

Well, he seemed to be just torturing his targets up to that point, like the Namekian village and Nail. Besides, Frieza stated in the Kai dub that he ...

One filler I sort of wish they kept was Frieza torturing Krillin at the end of his horn. You could argue it may have dragged the scene on a bit long but it enhanced the heartless monster vibe.

Exactly. The FCC doesn't even regulate basic cable, so it was up to the business standards and practices of Cartoon Network and Funimation itself to decide what to "censor" and what not.

Apparently, Funimation over censored even on the Toonami version, replacing death threats with subtleness ...

EDIT: Yes, the Funi dub is ancient and negated by the Kai dub's existing, just driving home my personal beef that the FCC is not a crutch for intentionally bad writing- what with Kai dub's showing me how little visual edits actually matter (I barely noticed, no immersion lost at all) when the ...

Probably because they only remember the uncut dvd and forgot all about edits made to the Toonami version.

Tell that to Funimation. I'm starting to think Nicktoons doesn't even have a problem with red blood so long as it isn't moving because I distinctly saw red blood on Vegeta's wounds when Baby infected them on GT, on Nicktoons and Y7 rated. Thanks to that overcensor, people now think Dragonball Kai ...
