Kyoto Arc: Week Eighteen

Episode 62: Kyoto: The Engraved Memory: Cartoon Network Saturday October 18, 2003

  • Saito and Cho: Airbrush Edit: Removed the smoke and lite cigarette from Saito's hand.
  • Saito and Cho: Scene Edit: They cut the shot of Saito's cigarette ash falling into the ash tray.
  • Saito and Cho: Line Edit: Cho: 'Is that the god's honest truth?' to 'And is that the whole truth?'
  • Saito and Cho: Airbrush Edit: Airbrushed out Saito's cigarette.
  • Saito and Cho: Airbrush Edit: Edited the cigarette again in the pan shot of Saito.

    Edit Count:
    Number we predicted: 38
    Real Number: 5

    NOTE: And so ends the Kyoto Arc. Next week we begin the Tales from the Meiji Arc with the first episode of it and then CN goes back to the very first episode of the Tokyo Arc. I don't have any problems with the edits really, though I wonder about the line they edited for Cho. Oh well. One more week of edits and then we get to take a break.

    NOTE: Why is it that CN always starts over again from the beginning just when they've got a good thing going. No real problems with these edits. There is one thing that I wonder about though...if they airbrushed Saito's cigarette in this episode then why couldn't they have done the same elsewhere? Toothpicks are not the same and it looks stupid to boot. Ah well.
