This Anime Was BANNED From Cartoon Network... Television History REACTION!!

Remember when Toonami was the holy grail of after-school anime – Dragon Ball Z, Gundam Wing, and all that epic action? But some shows were just too wild for the kiddos. Enter Blue Gender, the 1999 mecha-apocalypse anime that dreamed big: Earth overrun by insectoid aliens called the Blue, humanity fleeing to space stations, and a cryo-sleep everyman named Yuji Kaido thrust into a nightmare war. Sounds like Toonami gold, right? Wrong!In this deep dive, we uncover the scandalous story of how Blue Gender was prepped for Toonami glory in 2003 – edited to hell and back to scrub out graphic violence, nudity, sex scenes, and even swears like "shit" and "Jesus Christ!" – only to get yanked at the last second. Why? Cartoon Network deemed it still too risqué for their daytime block aimed at teens. Cue the pivot to Adult Swim, where it aired in that ultra-censored form from August to December 2003, making plots confusing as characters vanished without dying on-screen. (Pro tip: The uncut version later hit Funimation Channel – way better!)
