Jonnas Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I never remembered them showing the original series on tv actually. I've seen dubs on-line but there's a lot of material in it they would never show for kids on tv. But the original series doesn't seem to have a whole load of filler. Maybe it does but I find it's a lot faster paced. I find it baffling that DBZ got aired in English-speaking countries before the original DB. Even if it is less popular, it's the series that introduces most of the cast at the beginning of Z. There isn't much to censor, honestly. Nudity is used for comedy a couple of times (and the most explicit parts can be easily hidden), the innuendo in the dialogue is just that, General Blue being gay can easily be hidden, etc.

Jonnas Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that... Launch's machine gun would definitely set up a bad example for the kids... Ok, fine, if the Anglophone world can't stand slight cases of T&A on their Animes, it's your loss
