Dbz Kicked off CN altogether?

I don't know about the FMA scene and what it looked like, but I know that the anime on CN can't do certain things like go over the TV14 rating. Bebop and YYH had a few things cut on AS.

Everytime Scar would use his arm on someone's head, the scene would be cut away for excessive blood loss and the fact that anything involving a head wound is usually a no-no.

Here's images of two scenes involved:

Head Pop #1
Head Pop #2

What's odd was that after one of the episodes, we saw a person having their head blown off with a rifle in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Though I'm not aware of what rating the episode or series for GitS got.

Stand Alone Complex has a MA rating on CN.

Why can't they go over TV-14 if the Boondocks can? I want to see blood in the last episode of Bebop!

I believe the main reason for Boondocks having TV-MA is because of it's overly high usage of the N-word per episode. >_>;

You mean..."nigga" O_O

Oh child no he didn't!

Yes I did. But, on a more serious note, it's understandable as to why Naruto would be censored. It is shown at 9:00 PM on a Saturday. Children stay up past bed time to watch it and it's part of Toonami. FMA on the other hand shouldn't be censored. It's part of a block named "Adult Swim".

Let me repeat myself; "Adult Swim". As in all kids out of the pool. There is even a warning before the first show that only fourteen(or is it thirteen) year-olds should view the following programs. So, I don't see why anything that doesn't involve extremely detailed private parts would be censored; seeing as how that is what separates "R" from "PG-13".

Though it's a few years old, this is a good way on how to call things:

I figured it was getting to see a minor being peed on by R. Kelly in the first episode that did it...

I find it funny that 'Adult Swim' may not be suitable for people under 14. Since when is 14 the legal age to smoke, drink, or have sex?

Cracks me up, especially since I started watched AS when I was...what? 12.

My sister and I watch Adult swim, and she's 7!

We kids are just growing up sooner now and days. (I learned about the birds and the bees when I was 4)

It's always angered me as to how sensitive we are around here. What more can I say? It's the world we live in, and yet we wish to always water it down. Sometimes I wish they would set something up where the TV would force you to prove how old you are before even letting you watch the program.

Or, on a more situational side, perhaps an entire channel with nothing but undubbed, (but accurately subtitled,) unedited anime. Then we could just call the whole thing off. Wouldn't that be nice?

I hope that made sense.

That would be an awesome channel

I'd watch it everyday lol.

Meh, I figured it all out on my own at about 7ish by looking at a plug:

"Lets see, the plug goes in the hole to get electricity... oh.

Would be okay, but you've got to remember that-

1. Japanese licensors wouldn't want that.
2. a large majority of Anime is actually pretty weak
3. There wouldn't be any visable market for such a channel.

Would write up the whys and hows, but if you really want to know, I guess you can ask

It could be a pay channel on dish network or digital cable.

Toonami Unlimited or something! I'm just dreaming a little, but I know that's it's improbable. Who knows, it might manifest itself as something similar someday, just not tomorrow.

But I digress; this is a Dragonball forum.
