Well, this was the episode I had been waiting for. This was the episode where Fish Eye is shown topless and proves that he is, in fact, male, and basically, if it weren't for that scene where he has no shirt on, this episode would have been done close to perfect. But, alas, the scene was there, and thus appeared the highest number of censorships and cuts in one 3 minute period that I've ever seen ANYWHERE. And might I add, the scene was not handled as well as it could have been. Some scenes were left in that were quite confusing. I'm sure many dub fans around the US all cried at the same time, "Why is she so flat chested?" |
Being the last episode to catch my tapes up, I obviously wasn't paying much attention to details in the episode, but I did notice a couple things. Serena Tskino was probably the highlight of the episode, I'm so glad they're keeping the last names! I knew this was the episode where Fish Eye was going to take off his shirt to prove he was a guy, and knowing that the dub changed him to a girl, I watched to see how they would handle it. Eh, they did a good job for a while, but near the end of the scene, people had to be wondering if this "girl" was really a girl or not, I would've been confused if I had never seen the orginal. |
A shot of a sign that says "Yoshiku Usui" in Japanese on it is cut.
|
In the same scene from the "cut" box above, the camera is on Fish Eye's face but it's not enough to completely hide his chest, so Cloverway enlarges the frames to hide it.
|
(6 seconds) After Usui says that he has some new designs, Fish Eye runs up to him to see it. His chest is visible when he's running up to him so that part of this scene is cut.
|
After Usui's assistant (brother in the dub) pushes Fish Eye away, the scene is zoomed in on Fish Eye's face to hide his chest.
|
(5 seconds) In the same shot as the one in the censored box above this one, Fish Eye turns away in disgust. The whole "turning away in disgust" part is cut.
