Ninja Scroll TV was made with american money for the american market. Ninja Scroll is not popular at all in Japan, so the american company that'll release the R1 DVDs are the ones that approached Madhouse to do a tv show.
Madhouse also did CCS, X TV, Angelic Layer, the Ninja Scroll movie, Vampire Hunter D OAV and Movie...

Yeah, it was kinda like
US COMPANY
Hey, we want you to do a Ninja Scroll tv series.
Madhouse staff laughs out loud.
US COMPANY
Here's the money.
MADHOUSE STAFF
Uh... Ok.
Same thing is happening with Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2041. BGC240 Only sold well in US (it's crap, after all), so it's only being done because ADV is paying for it.
Thankfully, this sometimes brings good stuff, like Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (one of the best tv series ever), which was only made because GITS is so popular outside of Japan.
Hopefully, TT anime will be better than Ninja Scroll TV. Oh hell, it will be.
I mean, unless they do major rewrites and make it a filler show (like they did with Chobits), TT already will have much better story and characters.

Tokyopop is running Battle Royale unedited, and I'm pretty sure Studio Proteus doesn't censor things, either, so Dark Horse would probably run it uncut as well.FuguTabetai wrote:That is good news. I wonder if any american company will pick up the anime or manga?
I somehow just don't see an american company picking up the manga of Tenjo Tenge without making lots of cuts. Which would really suck.
Battle Royale was re-written as all hell.

Proteus does edit. Quite a bit, actually.
Two recent examples? Shadow Star and Exaxxion will be/are edited.
Rewritten doesn't constitute censorship ... although I'll agree that Keith Giffen's translation leaves something to be desired.
Exaxxxion isn't censored, and Shadow Star (as far as I know) was only censored because it had content that CAN'T be published in the United States. From Toren Smith:

I'm sure I covered the Shadow Star controversy recently ... somewhere ... but, to recapitulate, I am fully aware of what happens in the upcoming stories and I submitted a proposal to the artist last year that consisted of some alteration of the artwork, removal of two pages, and a request for him to redraw one panel. It was accepted earlier this year and we will be moving ahead with the series. Some of the changes will be restored in the collection, but some will remain.
The material was very nearly as shocking in Japan as I'm sure you found it, but I will defend Kitoh by saying it is well-written and very appropriate to the story and characters. It is a shame the situation in America is such that we could never publish it as originally drawn.

That would depend on the purpose or reason for rewritting...Rewritten doesn't constitute censorship

Wait and see how Exaxxion is going to be handled. Then come back here and tell me if i was right or not. I could just shut you up by quoting the person that said that, but i will not, since you chose to act like i was lying.profbobo wrote:Rewritten doesn't constitute censorship ... although I'll agree that Keith Giffen's translation leaves something to be desired.

Shadow Star will be edited too - Toren can shove it for all i care. If they can't release a part of a manga, they shouldn't RELEASE THE MANGA AT ALL.
What's next?
"Oh well, i want to release Tenjho Tenge but i will just remove all offensive lines and Chiaki's rape and Asshat's babe squad and the incest tone and..."
Give me a break!
You wanna a kid's manga, buy a damn kid's manga! Don't butcher the whole thing to turn it in what it is not!
Toren is the biggest arse in history of manga editors.
And re-writing IS editing.
Wax, answering your question...
SPOILERS

In Exaxxion, it's a sex scene with oral sex and a facial ejaculation. In Shadow Star, it's a girl getting a finger though her vagina and stomach, then split in two. Those are the scenes i assume are going to be edited. They're the "worst", AFAIK.
But none of those are "shocking" at all. I've seen much worse, even in Mr. Arse Toren's own titles.
Not to mention, sex scenes and nudity with kids in manga/comics are not considered ilegal anymore in the US (probably the last country where that was still considered illegal).

Are you sure about Exaxxion? I own the chinese editions and I don't remember any facial creamings.
I do know for a fact, however, that Proteus censored Seraphic Feather.

Right on! The problem, however, doesn't lie just with the editors, but with society's perception of comics as children's entertainment.You wanna a kid's manga, buy a damn kid's manga! Don't butcher the whole thing to turn it in what it is not!

Got a point there. After all, manga is widely published in Japan for several types of readers.Agent Wax wrote:Right on! The problem, however, doesn't lie just with the editors, but with society's perception of comics as children's entertainment.
I just hope Madhouse won't disappoint me with their adaptation of TT! The fact still remains that Ninja Scroll TV was disappointing for me. Hope it won't be Ninja Scroll TV all over again.
Wait, Vol. 5? I only have up to 4...
In any case, I believe most of the scenes are intact in my editions, with the nude androids onsen and Hosuke's (gran)dad and mom (MILF! ).
And for interest's sake, there are 2 main sources of chinese language editions of manga, Taiwan and Hong Kong. HK editions tend to more likely be censored (aside from having lower quality production values and costing more), which is why I don't go for them much. Taiwanese editions, on the other hand, aren't usually censored (I don't know about rewrites). After all, hentai titles are available uncut there.

From the October 2003 issue of Ultrajump:
It'll be a TV series, to commence broadcast in the (northern) spring.
More details in the November 2003 issue.
