"Naruto's infamous German dub removed all blood, dead bodies and bladed weapons, something that's more than slightly intrusive on a ninja themed show."

Still reading the Tv Tropes Wiki between bouts of translation and wailing about the WiR... (Warning: the stuff is addictive.)

"While Sailor Moon's rather infamous Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were changed from being Schoolgirl Lesbians to being "cousins," the edits didn't extend to any of the original visual innuendo -- making them incestuous lesbians, which is hardly new to anime but probably wasn't their intention."
(From the entry "Bowdlerise")


[1] In fact, I haven't had a TV for 20 years (and very rarely watched it elsewhere for the same period). I'm wondering if I'm so fascinated by this site despite, or because of this :-)
