Toonami Producer on Editing Process

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the worth-a-read dept.

Bonker writes "Anime News Network is featuring an interview with Jason Demarco, senior writer and producer for Cartoon Network's 'Toonami' block. Mr. Demarco explains why and how the editing process for several anime shown on Toonami, Midnight Run, and Adult Swim happen, as well as the pressure they're under to produce a product acceptable not only to fans but to parents as well. " Gives an interesting perspective on what CN goes through to get certain anime on US TV. I've said it before, but I'd still love a Toonami channel that didn't need to edit (or maybe just less). I watch more Toonami then any channel.

    Q: How do you determine what to edit?

    I can imagine the edited, inoffensive Evangelion.


    Pen-Pen walks out of the shower, shakes himself, and then walks away.

    The rest has to go.
