Yeah I agree on the banning, you can even compare it to steroids, makes you strong but you can't stop. Her father at some point even says (if I recall correctly) that there isn't one day when he hasn't had the temptation or thought to absorb energy again.
She didn't look so good after using it for a while.
NOW, there is an episode of tiny toons where three of the main characters drink and either get killed or almost get killed, they emphasized pretty well that drinking=bad, I've always though that episode shouldn't have gotten banned.

And another thing... I usually don't approve of cartons getting nerfed because they're too 'intense', I think every deleted scene from Lilo & Stitch should have been left in, even the INCREDIBLY depressing one about Pudge the fish dying- but this episode was just creepy. It felt surreal and it didn't fit with the tone of the show at all to me. It creeped ME out and I'm a relatively squick-proof 15-year-old who reads Stephen King books like they're candy.
Honestly, I don't think it should have been banned, I think it shouldn't have been made. It just... feels wrong to me. I don't know why.

They are airing episodes like SuperNova over here in Germany, but they have to DOUBLE CUT Lilo & Stitch... It's not fair... T_T Normally the censors over here are... the PAIN <.< (I could show you some reports concerning cuts) - but they seem to tolerate things like this... (and I'm really glad about that, don't get me wrong) I remember this nice "Dinosaurs" episode with the... grass that made everyone happy *g* The only thing that our censors seem to fear is blood and violence... You should see some cuts in animes... xD |

OK, well, if you all feel this way then I must have misinterpreted it. Maybe it's cause of reading the words instead of hearing them? I don't know. If anyone has the english audio, I'd love if you could send it to me, with or without video, it doesn't matter. If not, then I'll just trust you all when you say it's not a good episode.

I know, however if many people feel one way, it's not a bad idea to reconsider why you don't, just in case you missed something. *shrugs* Plus, I don't want to fight about it.

I wouldn't call that fighting, just expressing opinions. o-o But that's subjective too, I suppose.

Hmmm...the only thing I suppose that could be the reason of this banning, would be that it introduces the subject of addiction. Really, Mira Nova's case isn't quite as bad as drugs. More like energy drinks. You get a high, crash, and crave more and more to keep up with the energy costs

I don't think it's because of addiction, because I saw an episode of As Told by Ginger where Ginger got addicted to this "Mocoloco Frothinator" thing that was like something you'd get at a Starbucks. Nobody got ticked off about them showing Ginger get addicted to those, even though she generally went through the same thing as Mira.
If anything, I think it's because they showed her after the high...because on any other cartoon show they could shrug it off and say "Oh, she's hyper"

We should ask the American censors, and demand our episode back! If not, hold them for ransom

"...if you ever want to see your precious shows on air...leave all your banned episodes on the XR boards or Spongebob gets it..."
Sounds about right...XP
