In all the ones I looked at, the quotes match up to good shots of the weapon itself. In a lot of cases the language has been there for years without causing comment. |
That number does go up a titch if you search for all
the different permutations of the word. Admittedly two of those results are my pages, but the
Appleseed and
Angel Cop dubs were too good(bad) to pass up.

That shouldn't be much of an issue. Most subtitles on R1 releases are just straight translations of the Japanese dialogue, and profanity doesn't work in quite the same way in Japanese as it does in English. Plus it's easier to turn subtitles on a DVD on and off than it is a video game.
