I just bought Cowboy Bebop the Movie from play.com, and I noticed that the run time on the back of the cover is reported as "93 mins approx". However, here on MAL and various other internet sites, the run time is reported as about 110 mins (including in fact, play.com which I bought it from!). So I'm wondering what's up with this. Is the DVD I bought a censored or cut version, or is there simply an error on the back of the cover? Is it possible that the length of the movie varies, depending on which language I watch it in? Have anyone else here bought it and can report on it? I haven't opened the plastic wrapping yet, so I can still send it back within 14 days without any fuss, so it would be great to know. I might also add that the rating on the back of the cover is reported as 12 years, while here on MAL it is 17+...

Oh, and I haven't seen it before, so if possible, no spoilers, please :)

For future reference; I've seen it now, and even though the cover says 93 minutes, it played for approximately 110, with plenty of violence and some partial nudity.

Assuming you bought the UK Region 2 one, you can always use the BBFC's database to see if an anime film or series has been cut in the future - http://www.bbfc.co.uk/search

The only anime I am aware of that they have censored is Paranoia Agent.

I write about manga → morningroo.com
and movies → letterboxd.com/ugla
