I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

    lol yeah. They didn’t edit out all the flirting though or all the embarassed or indignant reactions by the characters around them, which presents those “cousins” in a really interesting light ;)

    The US version of Sailor Moon was also censored and edited in different other ways. IIRC:

    • All Tokyo references were changed to New York. So they’ve changed where the whole thing took place.
    • They changed all Japanese writings (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji)
    • Multiple characters had their gender or sex changed as to avoid homosexual relations.
    • The music was completely changed for some reason
    • They took out many scenes or even whole episodes if they thought, they might vaguely get into conflict with the FCC.
    • They scrapped a whole season, because the Sailor Starlights (I think that was their name?) changed gender in their magical transformation.

      I believe there was also a scene in Sailor Moon where a character was in the bath. In order to make the water opaque the censors decided that red would be the best colour to use, so it looks like she’s bathing in blood.
