#3 "Fist of the north star" aka "Ken le survivant" in France; it was one of the first anime serie aired regularly by the private channel tf1, a real breakthrough many judged bad for morality and all (not so untrue, hé hé hé), along with "Saint Seyya" and the original "Dragonball" (my favorite, even now I really can identify myself with the characters, the lil' pig who collects panties mostly), complete with italian-made credits with crappy, stooppid songs sung by the kiddies show's local band and hosts; very first one had been "Goldorak", original names escapes me at the moment a few years ago, to be precise, but this was the beginning of the whole anime thing in France. Talk about a culture shock! They soon realized their bad, bad judgement call and started heavily editing "Fist..." and "Saint Seyya", purging violence (exploding heads and all) and sex (the very ambiguous "masculinity" of SS, or the bare breasts and rape scenes here and then in "Fist...").
At the end, about 30% of SS and a whopping 70% of FOTNS were edited on average. Add the infantilizing translation of the dialogs, the very bad dubbing, the cheesy opening credits, and you can imagine the effects on a traumatized generation of young kids. Much worse than Global warming if you ask me, scarred for life.
