This is a comparison between the cut British VHS released by Manga Video (BBFC 18) and the uncut US VHS released by Streamline. The anime-adaptation of the manga "Crying Freeman" which is mostly known because of the live action movie from 1995 was released in Britain on video in 6 parts. While the first three parts got a BBFC-Rating without being cut the fourth part had to be.
In episode 4, "The Hostages" the cuts, however, remained moderate. Only two short scenes have been cut. 2 cuts = 4 seconds, the times refer to the cut version. 00:45:20
Freeman kills his devotee. What is missing is him jumping and ramming the knife into her chest. The British version only contains the beginning of that scene. 1.5 sec 00:45:23 After a short cutaway the knife being pulled out was removed, as well. This scene is completely missing in the British version. 2,5 Sec |
