I have recently began to watch Lupin III on CN, and found it to be quite a good anime. Upon sharing this observation with a certain poster here, I was informed that it was horribly edited. So today I went to my local anime store, and I picked up a copy of the first dvd released by Pioneer, with 6 episodes on it. It was labeled 13+, and didn't say if it was edited or not. After watching it subbed with japanese text, it seems to be similar if not identical contentwise to the episodes I saw on CN. I am just wondering if the show and the dvds are really that horribly edited, or if I was given false information. Either way I am planning on ordering the HK boxset of the first season but would just like to know how badly the show has been butchered on it's US release.
