Um no, it IS in the standard version. The scene is different though, cut down. They don't talk to Saruman and all that.

Does anyone know why the hell there's male x male shota(manga and even anime) targetted at straight men?
I mean: I know Japan is weird, k but omg, that's some "fantasy" they sell to people.
Then again, I'm not surprised 'cos there's female x female manga targetted at straight females.

Oh, really? Hmmm... I've read some of those titles and even watched short clips of such anime: the "boy" always looks like a female. In the anime, they're even voiced by females.

Does it really matter.............? I wonder why girls enjoy reading explicit boyxboy stuff so much, but I don't really care because it's not my business.
As for boys being voiced by women, that's common in the anime industry... Even in shounen shows. For example, Naruto, Renton, and Luffy among numerous others.... It fits their characters.

You are like the dense main character in a shoujo manga.

Because there's a market for it. It's a very niche market, but it's there.
It's the same reason why BMW builds the X6 for people who are blind and daft.

It's common in all voice acting, not just anime.

Well it makes sense. A young boy and a woman have roughly the same pitch of voice. A grown man's is generally lower. So instead of resorting to 10 year old voice actors, having a woman do the part makes more sense.

Ah, that's all so true, guys. 😛
I guess it makes sense even if the young boy is going "kimochi". 🤣

i have a question concerning Megaupload.
i was mirroring a movie(12 parts, 200MB each), and somehow the uploading ended in a flash!
this is not normally possible. the last time i uploaded a 80MB manga volume it took like 30~40 minutes.
i actually downloaded one of the movie parts and it works fine. (other people can download too)
what is the meaning of this 😕

^I hope so too, but it only happens from time to time, i'm afraid some of the the files can be corrupted god-knows-where . and since they are quite large, reup is a pain.(like i have time to do it 🤢 )
oh well, let's just say it's how far voluntary work can get. 🙄

in Spirited away, there was a scene where chihiro squashes the black worm, then the spiderman says dirty dirty or something and they make something with hands. I suppose it's some ritual in Japan, does anybody know about it??
if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.
