I assumed a gang of Tezuka fans was the best place to ask this :lol: I'm wondering how many Kimba the white lion episodes there are/what episode he dies in/what is the last episode/where are the episodes with the main plot twists. In order to complete the Tezuka anime quiz, many of the main questio...

Sorry to be so late to this thread, but to answer the question about cuts in the original Kimba series... They really treated the show with respect. Nearly all the cuts were scenes of "excessive" violence they felt they had to tone down. Other cuts were: - One minute from the first episode, for time...

I used to love Family Guy until their "Blue Harvest" episode. It's not that I worship Star Wars or anything, but...

I realize that my response above occurred after you had posted your 2nd one, so I will give you time to catch up. But... I don't know what else to say! :) I can't speak with any authority about cuts made to Astro Boy. I have looked pretty extensively at the cuts made to Kimba, and I wouldn't call a...

I don't have an answer in regard to why it was cut. I have a guess: since it was done incorrectly in this case, does that make it "insensitive"?

Ladd states that they cut content that was insensitive toward religion (p. 15, para. 1), I assume this means making the sign of the cross. ... Bero makes the sign of the cross (0:33:40)!
