> The hospital scene....I can definitely see being removed.(Im hoping for an uncut version) As for Misato's scene with Shinji...I doubt it. I've seen things that could easily be more offensive in American movies. There are a few lines that, unfortunately, for their suggestive content, I think will be changed by Manga. Honestly..there are no violent crimes, such as rape (physical) that are portrayed in the movies. I think Eva may slide by, with a few changes that Manga would have made anyway. The hospital scene may even be left in there,except for the shot of Shinji's hand.

The thing that I really have to wonder about with all this "censorship" and "banning" talk is what about the plethora of teenage, high school setting soft porn films like "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"?
Most of these live action films use over-age actors/actresses, but portray them in various degrees of suggestive and sexual activity with the prerequisite nudity shots in undeniably under-age settings including school uniforms.  Furthermore, despite the nominal "R" rating, they are obviously aimed at the under-age market.
