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)

censorship does suck when you look into the past censorship seems to be going both ways getting worse and getting better at the same time. look a bit deeper and you see that censorship has always followed media. recently quality of media has increased much faster then censorship. Censorship has always been linked to religion. one set of religions more then others. to find out if Censorship will ever disappear just ask yourself these 2 questions 1) what truly is Censorship 2) who fells that they need to censor things Darkgoku 08:16, October 15, 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. Arrancar109 05:18, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

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)

they might have Ichimaru vaporize the body after the attack. Grimmjow's arm was vaporized. in several anime we see that vaporization is a decent substitution. censorship does suck .Darkgoku 08:05, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah my grandmother tought that the energy beam and harribel's reveal in the anime looked obserd(and she has never watched bleach I showed her the pics) I have been trying to find studio perriot's email and tell them look the US show has the budget to alter some frames(they have done it a lot in recent episodes) But Harribel NEEDS to be reanimated not only because it looks like she is wearing a wonder bra, the animated with the wind and hair just looked bizare. Bleach airs at 12:30 at night so legal wise we can get away with it unlike Japan where bleach airs at 6 pm where everyone is usually eating dinner. Bleach is meant to be more of a prime-time late night show like it is here.--Lemursrule 15:25, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

my guess is that she is gonna be half-slashed like Ichigo when Aizen stopped him and the may add silouethes to make him look more drastic at first I was bothered for the censor but now I am curious of what they will come up to keep this viewable to children, remember they are a big part of the anime fandomDaigo623 23:02, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

What if Gin punctures her in the heart or both lungs? I think that's as bad an injury as what happened in the manga. Tman7776 02:30, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

What about Ulquiorra
He was reduced to a bloody torso, and people only wonder now about censorship! His injury was the same, no it was worse he lost arms.23:19, October 15, 2009 (UTC)Superchunky from Denver 23:19, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

He also lost both legs, another arm, and most of his organs. I think this will remain uncensored, as Ulquiorra will easily regenerate those limbs. --Gold3263301 23:21, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Ulquiorra last fight (the one ware he dies) has not been shown in the anime yet just in the manga. so we don't know how they will censor that. it was very brutal even for manga one of my favorite chapters. Darkgoku 04:30, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Respira: the fate of Soifon's arm censored?
Ever since I saw the newest opening of Bleach (OP 12), question What will become of Soifon's arm in a fight against Baraggan in anime? has been haunting my mind. If you look closely at newest intro, you can see Soifon's presumed lost left arm intact. We already saw fight Uryu VS Ulquiorra censored ( Uryu's arm burnt instead of being severed, this can also be predicted watching the opening). I personally would love to see Respira and it's effect in all it's terrifying glory :P What do you think? Moltsi 18:18, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

True, i do believe that they would have Soifon lose her arm, and the bifurcation of Hiyori WILL have to take place, since they are a MAJOR plot twist and can't really be omitted. The thing with Uryu's hand still erks me, but it wasn't a major part of the story, plus Orihime proably fixes it off screen since she was there, so no real difference to be had. (plus i hate wat they did with Harribel Resurrección, no more under boob : AuronValentine 12:53, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
