this is strange:
I was on www.arthistoryclub.com reading about "Teenage mutant ninja turtles" , and found this synopsis for the 2 part OVA series from japan:
In addition to the American series, a Japan-only two episode anime OAV series was made in 1996, titled Mutant Turtles: Choujin Densetsu-hen (Superman Legend). It featured the turtles as superheroes, who gained costumes and super powers with the use of "Muta-Stones," while Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang gained supervillain powers with the use of a "Dark Muta-Stone." Characters resembled those in the original US cartoon series, but with very different personalities. The show was aimed at a much younger audience, and used many non-serious elements of Sentai and superhero comics. This show is considered non-canonical by the TMNT fanbase due to its shortness and scarcity. Here is the strange part: if the TMNT OVA cartoon is aimed at a much younger audience, why does it contain strong language ("you *person born by unmarried parents* " and "dumb*poo*, this is dumb*poo* " ) ? Is that kind of language considered "not explicit" in Japan? |
Well most of their cartoons have sex and what not, right? I mean just go watch any of the anime, the shows are for kids or teens but yet there is swearing and other things such as woman topless or what not. :|

Yup, that's right, Kenton. Japan is not anal about the content they show in animations.
But America isn't too bad. Like, I would say that The Simpsons is aimed towards kids (originally anyway), and there are minor swear words and minor adult situations in that show. |
Yep, but also on Cartoon Network, which is supposed to be for kids they have shows like Family Guy and Futurama and all thats on Adult Swim. I am missing out on CN though because I live in Canada, but here we have Teletoon which is nearly the same thing (doesnt show as good of shows though) and at night they have shows like Quads (John Calahans Quads maybe?) and other adult shows. Which just goes to show that all countries are bad this way, I think in the UK or Holland, not sure which, some of the tv shows after 5:00 PM have boobies

Hey, but OVA's language is rather mild. They sometimes say things like "kick ass" or "dumbass". I'm not sure if they even used "bastard", maybe Shredder uses this term once. And for sure, no heavy curses are used there :ohwell:
BTW - OMG, this ArtHistoryClub thing is based on Wikipedia in 100% :o There are even my few inputs there :roll: I'm startled. |

I'm just saying that people are always concerned about keeping their kids from seeing pornographic images and hearing bad languages, espeically on tv shows for kids. But when boobies are on tv channels at 5:00 pm :lol: I wish I grew up in that country.
