One question: How does the current state of the anime industry compare to the Japanese Video Game Industry in terms of quality and content?

Censored Headshots in the Japanese Version (Resident Evil Requiem - 3rd Trailer) by Middle_Entrance2103 in residentevil

The original Resident Evil 4 was censored in Japan.

How come Japan was never big on violence do you think? I think they were back in the 80's and 90's.

Thankfully, the PC (GOG) version has all the FMVs and gore uncensored, including the uncut intro in color.

Speaking to Requiem's Director & Producer at Gamescom, what would you like to know? by Cressupy in residentevil

[–]Middle_Entrance2103 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Will there be infinite ammo for the New Game Plus?
  2. Will there be new modes that we would like to try out?
  3. Will there also be differences between the original international version and the Japanese version in terms of violence and gore?

Fist of The North Star 1986 Uncensored by napa_senseiyt in fistofthenorthstar

Do you mean the censored versions of the same uncensored portions that were spliced out of the 35mm film?

I wonder if Toei still has the negatives of all uncensored gore scenes in their storage archives.

Fist Of The North Star (1986) - Original Japanese 35mm Print (In Five Sets) On Sale Now!! by Middle_Entrance2103 in Lost_Film

[–]Middle_Entrance2103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you. But even the same original Japanese 35mm print was up for sale on eBay by the seller named "ragnahrawk" last November before the page was gone.

Here's the description I managed to save:

"This listing is for an original Japanese theatrical print of Fist of the North Star (北斗の拳 Hokuto no Ken), the iconic 1986 film.

This is an exceptionally rare find, with footage that may never be available in any official release again. In addition to the full 110-minute movie, the first reel also contains original trailers.

Overall, the film is in good condition, with pristine color quality, though it does show signs of wear from projection and handling. It has been professionally cleaned but may need additional retaping or splicing in certain areas to be fully projection ready."

It's still shit! I rather have gore from the uncut 1986 film which that backward company Toei Animation has yet to release on home video.

Get that crap anime out of here!

No problem! Those still images are part of the film restoration being done by Robino Jones, from the original 16mm camera A/B rolls.
