Comparison between the cut US Director's Cut by Kitty Media (not rated) and the uncut German DVD by I-ON New Media (Keine Jugendfreigabe (18)
The anime from 1998, which by now also has been followed by a sequel, was released in different versions on DVD in the US. The initially published "international" release by Media Blasters/Anime Works is about 47 minutes long, which means that 4 minutes are missing. The later released cut by Kitty Media, called Director's Cut, may be longer than the first one, but was still censored at 6 different points in the movie. Also, the OVA consisting of two parts was merged into a movie, resulting in the outro of the first part missing. 02:59 The title is displayed a bit differently in the two versions.
US Version = 11,9 sec. German Version = 18,2 sec. 17:06 In the flashback a shot of Akai touching Sawa's breasts is longer in the German Version. The US shows a shot of the floor which could be seen earlier again instead. US Version = 2,8 sec. German Version = 2,8 sec.
17:11 A sex scene between the two was replaced by a close-up of Sawa's face (which could already be seen earlier as well). US Version = 1 sec. German Version = 1 sec.
