Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In France at least, they did a lot of shite with anime.

Basically broadcasting rights for anime were sold for dirt cheap in the 80s/90s compared to other productions, so some networks started buying anime for their (very) young kids programs. And they all had that good old mindset, "if it's animated, it's obviously for kids". Or worse, they probably didn't care and just bought everything.

So yeah, everything got heavily censored, but for some reason they still thought Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star was A-okay to show to 6 year-olds. Because they were "shocked" by what they had to work with, the voice actors working on the dub literally sabotaged the show by making it sound as ridiculous as they could.

Toward the end of the 90s, we got a shitty moral panic on all anime from media watchdogs, and we owe it entirely to a few idiots in French TV networks not caring about target audiences.

As a kid I did enjoy Dunderklumpen! but I don't think it holds up pretty well
