Jari: Sorry, but they're german synchronized or have german subtitles...
And at the moment no animes are broadcasted...perhaps in some weeks/months - Alhexx
 
I wish they would sub *something* in america on TV. When crouching tiger, hidded dragon come to the states, they subbed it in the theaters. That was the frist subbed movie Iv'e ever seen here. America suffers from TV that appeals to the lowers common denomonator. That means most of the crap is trite politicaly correct grabage that appeals to illiterites with short attention spans. I can't even imagine seeing NGE on the air without some christan group demanding it be pulled from the air because they find it offensive. Relogous subjects are a big no-no on american TV, unless you're a victem of some sort. People are complaing that Pokemon should be pulled because it's too violent for childrenand there is *gasp* magic in it that can pull kids to the occult.Oh, and in america, cartoons are not allowed to say "die" "hit" or "death". Anything dealing with death must also be altered. Cartoons are also not allowed to hit each other, shove each other, or draw blood. (watch Dragonball, you will see flashes before hits and blood get edited out. Oh and holding a real gun (as opposed to a raygun) is a no-no now recently with the advent of "outlaw star"

Simpsons and southpark are exempt, but keep in mind that fox passed on Southpark. Now I bet they kicking themselves in the ass.
 
That's one reason I don't want to live in America ... it's a nice enough place, not expensive to live in, but the way some things are done (everything Halkun mentioned, political correctness really is over the top) would really put me off. Think I'll stick to England and maybe just go to the US on holiday  :wink:And the good thing about England is we're in the same DVD region as Japan, so we can get some anime DVD's as soon as they come out in Japan (the intelligent producers realise this and English-sub the first Japanese release so we can import them straight away without having to fansub them). Of course, the best solution is to (like me) make sure your DVD player is regionless ^_^ Nevertheless, it's good that Japan is region 2.
 
Hey ficedula!  You live in England?  Cool!  Y'know there IS a favor you could do america over there... KEEP GEORGE!!!!! WE DON'T WANT HIM!!!!**How's that for political correctness--we were correct, the votes WEREN'T!!!!!

EDIT:
Sorry, i'm still a little bitter... maybe I should live in england...

Hmm, this is turnin' into a political discussion 'bout USA, I guess...
Really, I don't understand why the american TV isn't allowed to show such things...
Hm, I've got to check if my DVD Player's regionless, too...  :DBTW: I wanted to work on Ultima yesterday, but then I had no time. Perhaps I'll add this 'Save File'-Option today...(Oooppss, I forgot to release Ultima...ßETA 6...)

I live in the usa and not all cartoons are censored like that.. yeah ok Saturday morning on Kiddie network it probably is but i am not up that early.. South Park the Season premiere they said SHIT on Tv.. and they said the word 162 times! they had a little counter in the lower left hand corner of the screen..  :) it was damn funny.... i tihink once i was watching sailor moon and the evil guy said DIE!! as he flew at her or something.. i may be halucinating and i know i spelled that probably terribly wrong.. oh well.. but i think n e way.. TV is getting really crazy . i dont know what the laws are ne more.. but this country isnt bad.. besides not many other countries would mess with us.. China is kinda scaring me... (and yes that is arguable very much arguable) but still .. our military is hella messed up too.. he he he.. i think bush might actually be trying to strengthen it .. but i dont think its what it used to be... Bottom line.. the vast majority of americans are lazy and dont give a shit.. like me..  :) we dont really wanna learn we dont really wanna have to work.. we just wanna get rich quick and float through life..  :)
 
Well, all the local animes in my country is computer generated, so, I don't know.
 
How many Japanese dramas have you guys seen? I've seen Beautiful Life, Tell Me That You Love Me and Power Office Girls(Shomuni)(the ending was yesterday...sob)
 
Hmm, I think they don't dub every one b'cause the perhaps don't have time to...but there's something else:
Plastic Little (broadcasted) has been dubbed. Tita's voice was quite fine, but (BTW I've got an original Japanese Version /w subtitles) her voice is much cuter in the original version: "Michail,(...) , Balboa, Rooogggaa"  :DJoey: I haven't seen any Anime Drama 'till now. I think dramas aren't the movies I like...
