Don't make me laugh, my stomach hurts enough already.  I'll transpose this here since it seems more relevant than where I first posted it:  Aside from the import companies themselves editing out crucifixion references for fear of censorship, there is no demonstrable official western censorship of crucifixion in imported anime. It's all done by the import companies themselves. The companies who import the material choosing to omit depictions of crucifixion for fear of censorship or backlash is not actually censorship.  I object to it being included on the page because it's stupid and it adds nothing, not because I think it should be censored.  Some Sailor Moon fan is getting up in arms about this over nothing.  It isn't notable or significant.  The cited source about that particular episode confirms it.  'We just did it because it looks cool' means that the people who created the image in the first place had no deeper motivation for creating it.  If the anime fans editing this page are bound and determined to include copyrighted anime images on the page, at least they could choose something with a little more relevance. 68.114.130.234
