I expected cuts for two reasons - one is obvious 
censorship, the other is that there are fewer 
(and/or shorter) commercials on Japanese TV, so 
the American cut has to give more time to them. 
(grr) At least my brother is getting the DVD set, 
so I can wait until then. ^_^ 

So, to make this cel related....
Have prices on Esca cels gone up yet??? LOL
*shudder*
