Thread: Nudity in anime?

I saw a whole lot of nudity way back then, now it aint that much

I guess they toned down the nudity because now they have a whole range of Hentai, and the artists might want to appeal to a younger audience. :]

It's called Artistic Nudity, their is a differince, and it's getting toned down because Japan;s policy's suck.

no shit it's not real nudity

Well i think that a while ago manga and anime where for an older age, now it has a younger public, so thats why they have toned it down.

(From what I understand, both problems will be corrected in the official DVD release, both in Japan and the US)

Yeah, Gantz was toned down for the TV Version, as well as Girls Bravo, but have been unedited for DVD, and the second season of Girls Bravo has been braodcasted via WOWOW uncensored and uncut.
