Great episode, guys! I'm bummed I have to wait for part two (although I totally understand why they are split).

The topic of Western (for me it's specifically American since that's where e=my experience is) censorship of Japanese media is pretty interesting. At least here in America, companies that localize Japanese media tend to be very liberal in their censorship, especially when it comes to anything with a religious connotation to it. If you google Western censorship of anime, you'll get a ton of hits with seemingly innocuous edits.

For instance, one of my favorite manga series is Shaman King. This series starts out fairly tame, but it's serious and dark the further into you go. At one point, the cast finds out the villain slaughtered a Native American tribe and they all relive it as part of the tribesmen. But when this was adapted for North America, for some reason it was marketed for kids and it ended up pretty heavily edited. I mean, it's a show where people communicate withe the dead, merge with them and then fight each other, yet cross shaped headstones in cemeteries was just toooooo much and had to be changed.

From a gaming perspective, blood is often edited here to be a different color. Why? Backlash from parents, maybe. Or maybe these companies are afraid of getting a higher than wanted rated from the ESRB. Probably a mixture of both, I would guess.

Love it guys!

Part one is awesome, I'm starting to see the huge moments which make this such a stand out story.

RE Palazzo, a Z in Italian is a T sound, in Italian, when there is a double letter, that is where you put the emphasis sound

Being an Australian Italian, there are a lot of Australian Australians who completely screw loads of Italian words/names up, goes for all languages I guess, but yeah, pet peeve. You guys weren't that bad though.

Hanging for more time to play games I have no idea where I can fit the time in

Listening to this atm.

The RPG maker dudes make a good addition imo

Also, the e at the end of Chere is silent
