1.I& #39;m working on the Slump/Millennia special tonight and I noticed something interesting. Viz made an absolutely stupid censor of Boondocks Norimaki by removing his lips and adding an impossibly straight line that isn& #39;t hand drawn. The assumption is that he& #39;s a black caricature..
2. In the anime, which admittedly changed the Sundae Bros. in v15, ch10-13 "Play Ball" from robots to black folks (?!), Boondocks is green. This may be because they& #39;re just toys, not black guy vs white guy boxers, or this could be a choice of the Toei animation staff.
3. Another fun censor from Viz I noticed was they removed Streets Soramame& #39;s twig and berries from the boxer shorts gag.
4. But the most interesting thing I found and the reason I started this thread is that in the anime, the names of the robots aren& #39;t Boondocks and Streets, it& #39;s Country and Local, said in ENGLISH!
Take a listen...
