The idea of cenorship is something that will be put against the dub. True many shows are censored when dub for American TV. Some things like death and homo-erotism(Sailor Moon), is still extremely taboo in America. Who really cares though, if they alter a line. I agree that DBZ gets annoying (they jumped out of the helicopter in time, I can see the parachutes or it's ok thank God that City Block was deserted), but it really isn't that bad. What about the Japanese? They are never going to show Kimagure Orange Road in it's entirety in syndication, why? Episode 44 (one of my all time favorite episodes) has a character named Hikaru getting drunk while partying, and looking for her Darling. The Japanese censorship felt that the show promoted teen alcholism. I know this doesn't deal with a dub directly, I just wanted to point out that not only are dubs censored for America, but things in other countries are censored as well.
