moose Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Realistically: DB Super, DBZ Kai, Hunter x Hunter, Naruto, and One Piece= TV-Y7 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Gundam Unicorn= TV-PG While, yes, the shonens ARE for kids... but by U.S content standards the uncut versions of One Piece, Naruto, the Dragonballs and ESPECIALLY HunterxHunter are NOT TV-Y7. Most of them are TV-PG/TV-14 and I wouldn't be surprised if HunterxHunter hits some TV-MA's, as well. That's just the diffrence in what Japan allows and what America allows for their children programming. But none of them, by our standards, can be TV-Y7 as is, even if they are for kids technically. Also, Unicorn can hover around PG and 14, but Jojo most defenently earns that TV-MA ratings, what with the constant be-headings and body carnage.

Top Gun Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The fact that anyone gives a shit about what those little boxes full of letters say continues to bemuse me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenigundam Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 The fact that anyone gives a shit about what those little boxes full of letters say continues to bemuse me. It lets you know whether the program is for babies, teens, or adults. One could argue that DB Super is a TV-G program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make me put you on my shit list, Gunners. >( But seriously, last week's Shippuden getting a TV-14DLSV when it was a TV-14V at best is the only "lying about TV ratings" that I've seen so far this year.

OwlChemist81 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah really! WHERE was the drug use!? But last night's Hunter x Hunter was definitely TV-14-LSV. It earned that friggin' "S", oh it EARNED that! Wait, what's that?? NO "S"?? That's utterly shocking!! And finally, JoJo TV-PG?? What the hell are you smoking! That's definitely TV-MA-V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all completely arbitrary based on whatever standards & practices intern happens to be given the shitty job that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course I also welcome TV-MA content to Toonami, and have since Deadman Wonderland! I do believe every episode of the following Toonami shows got a TV-MA rating: Deadman Wonderland; Black Lagoon; Attack on Titan; Hellsing Ultimate; Kill la Kill; and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (so far)... Oops, I am mistaken. Episodes 1 & 6 of JJBA were only TV-14. The 4 episodes of KLK and the 7 I have left of Hellsing are all TV-MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Asperger's, and TV content ratings serve as my token "obsession", as one would call it. Happy now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Wonderland, Hellsing Ultimate, Kill la Kill, and Akame ga KILL! are the only four anime on Toonami (and [as], for that matter) to be rated TV-MA all the way through. All of Attack on Titan was TV-14, while episodes 2, 4, and 23 of Black Lagoon were TV-14 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Oh yeah, I had forgotten about Akame ga KILL! How about Parasyte? It seems to have flip-flopped between TV-14 and TV-MA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctly remember AgK being real boring with its ratings - TV-MA straight for every episode - and stopped caring about what it was rated that for after the fourth episode or so. Parasyte was much better and more exciting in that regard. Fair enough. That's not something I particularly understand beyond a cursory academic sense, but hell, you do you. Excellent. For as frustrated as I may get at your opinions sometimes, in the end you're a good man, TG. [shakes hand] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Toonami isn't responsible for content ratings. that's a different department of the larger network. Toonami actually has zero to do with content ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
