Forum:Censorship

I was just thinking how are they gonna censor how hiyori is cut in half by ichimaru. Because the manga tends to be more brutal than the anime. Like when harribel's fraccion ripped their arms off in the manga but in the anime they just shot beams out of their arms to summon Allon. Asesiel

Good question. I really don't know. Maybe instead of being cut in half at the waist, she will instead have her legs form the knee down cut off. Who knows. Alot of the censorship in the anime mainly regarding Nnoitras fight with Kenpachi & Hallibel & her fraccion really bugs me sometimes. Minato88 01:26, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

i think they'll just show a silhoutte like when kira cut that bird guy's head off. or they'll just say it's an internal injury or maybe Gin will just cut the front of her waist like Aizen did to Ichigo. Asesiel

Yeah, censorship sucks, but on the other hand, they might have had to change the rating of Bleach if they didn't do it for normal TV, in which case, it may not be airable on TV. Still, the scene that bugged me the most that was cut out was Grimmjow snapping off Loly's leg. Arrancar109 03:04, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Japan has some fairly loose standards when it comes to showing scenes of a graphical nature; Shin Chan had a little boy dancing around while showing his rear end and Ranma 1/2 tended to show frontal nudity although this could be changing due to Japan becoming more Westernized as time goes on. It really starts to get censored when it hits the US depending on the time slot the series is shown. 4Kids was the worst offender to One Piece was aired by removing guns and blood amongst other edits; Funimation left it mostly intact for the broadcast though the DVDs were uncut.Spacedone 06:03, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Hiyori's Near Death in Anime
Looking at this in the manga, it definitely looks like it's gonna get censored in the anime. How do you think it'll look? --Gold3263301 05:10, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

That's a good question. Yeah, censoring that would really piss me off, given that she's supposed to be dying for being bifurcated. It's really, really hard to find something just as severe for her to be dying. I'm sad to say this, but they might just do the "Shadow thing" like they did with Allon attacking Rangiku.

Hmm... then again, maybe Gin won't attack at all, and Aizen would just dispose of her with a strong slash as he did with Harribel... --Gold3263301 05:24, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Eh, that's worse. I mean, we'd probably still get to see blood, yes, but it reduces the severity of Hiyori's wound. Plus, aren't we supposed to remember Ichimaru's there? I think almost everyone forgot about him until he did that. Arrancar109 05:34, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
