    I read about episode 38 im 12 years old do you think it would be safe for me to watch it?
    I went to the Seizure moment to see what it is but it was mostly coverd by my hand lol
    If you dont know what this is its where red and blue light flash insanely fast and can give Seizures

    I watched it, I was scared to hell that something might happen but after I saw it, I realized the flashy bit didn't faze me at all.

    Unless you have epilepsy, then you're fine.

    You must not have read about the incident that led to this episodes ban then. The fact is that out of the 700 Japanese children that got seizures from watching this, less than 8% of them actually had epilepsy.

    They've gotten rid of the original version that caused seizures. Unless you find an origional taped version from the original air date, you'll be fine :D

    They removed all the uncut versions from youtube and such..

    I also think those kids had seizures is because their televisions at the time were a lot bigger and had better coloring then ours and they didn't expect that episode to have that so it came to a shock to them

    The only version of it that's available is way too low quality to cause seizures, especially if you're watching on something like YouTube where the screen will be tiny. Loads of people have watched it online and they're fine. It's not too surprising that those Japanese children got seizures though, there really wasn't need for that much flashing red and blue lights :/

    I watched it and I got a headache after. Watch it in a lit room at night and you'll be fine.

    Well, whenever in doubt, don't do it. You don't want to fool around with issues of health.

    Or, ask your doctor, if you want to be completely kosher.

    If you're going to try it, my words of advice.


    DON'T TURN THE CHUFFING LIGHTS OFF. :P


    I haven't seen it, but the flashing light bit BEFORE the seizure scene hurt my eyes a little, so I think I'd better not myself.
