Well, there we have the first episode. For the most part it was done with a fair amount of skill. The only part where they had a problem was in the scene where Yusuke is interacting with his mother, all because is that she is smoking throughout the entire scene. And we all know that the censors won’t allow smoking to be seen on Toonami. They had to mask out a good percentage of the shot to eliminate the cigarette and it’s resulting smoke. And in this case, the way the mask was moving contrary to the camera just screamed that something was being covered up. I guess I shouldn’t complain though, in the future scenes like that one will just be cut out… no matter how important they are to the story.
