Mhmm.
It is a bit strange. I can see what they are trying to do and why they do it, but it doesn't really make that much different really, IMO.​
​
 
Yes, that's the point. I think they mean well, but in some cases, they push it too far.
Oh well, I didn't even notice that some episodes were eclipsed (was too young to), so I guess it's not that bad.
 
HAHA I actually thought about that one earlier. I know right? I mean... it's funny, that's all XD
 
There's a significant difference between censorship and postponing of episodes, though. Censorship is a - presumably - permanent endeavour in part to issue a message that some part of an episode is so wrong that it either shouldn't be shown at all, or shouldn't be shown in its current state. Episode postponement is normally done for reasons of taste due to unexpected events outside the domain of the creators of the show.

Episode postponements offer no moral judgment on the quality of the work: showing the episode in question may just make certain viewers feel uncomfortable at that time. With censorship, there are definitive policy concerns at the heart of it for networks to take such a strong action.

Going back to the Cardcaptors stuff, I think I was confused not because of the censorship itself, but more because I can often remember flashbacks to features of episodes that either didn't happen due to UK censorship (involving a gay love affair or the like) or just my own crappy memory!

Ahhhh, Digimon. I've been in and out of that fandom a few times~ To be honest I really liked the fifth season, but that could just be me. :V

I've seen one or two episodes of Digimon but I can't say I've actually paid the series any mind. :/ Was one of those kids who would scoff Digimon because it seemed "too much like Pokemon" and would do that for years, but nowadays a lot of my friends like it a lot so I wonder whether or not it's worth giving it a try.
 
Er, hang about, there was a Digimon TCG as well? Man I'm always late to these card parties.

I guess it would take actually watching the series to know how to play the card game, though. I remember being uber confused when somebody bought me Yu-Gi-Oh! cards at a time when I never even watched the anime. I just thought they bought a deck just so I could look at the pictures. o_0;
 
The first two seasons of Digimon were great when I was just a child. I remember buying a couple Digimon cards back then, but I misplaced them. >_> I wish I could at least see the first season again.
 
I never really got into the TCG, I just liked the first two seasons and the movie a whole lot. XD My sister and I did have a small collection of fake/bootlegged Digimon cards, though. I have no idea where we found them but they're so obviously fake, it makes me laugh.
 
With Digimon's TCG, watching the anime wouldn't have helped, as it wasn't card based. I actually did learn how to play back then but still found Pokemon more interesting, and Digimon's TCG just kinda flopped and disappeared around here, so it was harder to collect, especially with Yu-Gi-Oh! sweeping in barely even two years later.

With Yu-Gi-Oh!, I learned from the anime and then learned the actual rules from the rulebooks and the video games.
 
The only TCG I was ever remotely interested in was Pokémon. It was such a fad back in Primary school and I can remember all the break and lunchtimes kids had where they'd huddle in groups and trade cards with each other. It was practically the sight of a card convention.

Noooo! XD
Don't learn from the Anime. The Anime is crazy and has rules that are broken. I swear they make it up as they go along!

I have been playing Yu-Gi-Oh since it first came out! It is crazy it has been out for over 10 years. O_o​

Did you read the second part of my sentence? The extra complexity with how the legalities of certain cards is structured and imbalance in the price of A-list cards vs others is one of the things that made me disinterested in Yu-Gi-Oh! (and the lack of variety and difficulty in finding competitive events - an issue I have with Pokemon as well, though the flooding of key cards that Nintendo does negates this in Pokemon's TCG - vs. Magic). That and the people I had tried to play it with were sticklers for the ban rules even in casual games and wouldn't let me use Harpie's Feather Duster, Griffon Wing, Change of Heart or Seven Tools. Or all sorts of other fun cards I had/have.

I did! XD
I was just commenting on the Anime anyway! XD
Well, Griffon wing isn't banned, but it is pointless. But they are broken cards. You have to admit! XD​

I remember playing Yu-Gi-Oh! in the playground during recess with some of my friends. :'D My card collection wasn't too impressive - I bought the "Yugi's Deck" set and a couple of booster packs. I never won a single game, but it was still fun nevertheless.
 
I don't think I've ever "duelled" with anybody before despite having a deck of cards handy. Neither have I had a battle with anybody else using our Pokemon cards.

Heck, even back as a kid I knew that if I wanted to play a card game, I'd sooner play poker than what everybody else was into.
