Yep it goes without doubt that anime in Japan needs to have 1. Less blood to NO blood. 2. No Nudity 3. "Real bad" language. But these conditions actually applied to TV shows too, the ones who aired at prime time that isNyarl wrote:The Valentine's Day outfit change was also censorship of sorts, since it avoided the Ran karate kick crotch panty shot. Ski Lodge did the same thing. No panty/bra showing scenes seem to be allowed in the anime after the first year, so there are a lot of similar trivial fanservice diminishing changes.cashman_11 wrote: I think it's just an outfit change. I noticed in Valentine's Day Murder case, when Ran and Makoto kick the criminal, they changed her outfit, in the manga she had on a shortskirt, in the anime, it was lengthened. Also, in the Titan high school ghost case, the part where Sonoko is put to slip and falls so that her panties are showing is changed. Originally, everyone noticed when she fell, but in the anime, Dr. Araide wonders if she is ok, then Ran notices her panties.
On the other hand, the one panel chest-up shower scene in Desperate Revival became a waist-up pan in the anime, and the animators never had a problem showing the flashbacks to Ran's bath with Conan until very recently (Scar of First Love when they put Ran in a towel, only to show a whole tub full of implicitly naked men a bit later).
Nudity in implied sexual situations is too much for the anime, though. In the manga at least Ran knows what sex is (or at least that it involves getting naked at some point). Anime Ran might not know that...
Oh, while we're on this topic, the anime totally ruined this joke.Spoiler:
EDIT: WAHHHH I did not catch that Joke!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDDD LOL...Aoyama is REALLY....something....
