It's time for another occasion where cowardice took over and did the unreasonable by saying "No Girls Allowed!"
We're back to Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi, since I just did a fanfic based on that show which you can find over on Inkbunny. I'll give it some illustrations later and maybe one day we can read along on the blog when the pictures are done.
Like I said before, I definitely believe the animators thought their versions of Ami and Yumi were sexy, given all the stuff they had them doing and wearing. Case in point, in two separate episodes, the girls (or at least Ami in the pictured episode "Helping Hand") step out of some kind of bath, and are seen wearing a towel. That towel goes up to their shoulders, meaning you can see everything above them is bare. It's actually kinda risque for a show that aired on Cartoon Network in 2005.
But for some reason, when we actually see Ami in the shower in the episode "Fan Clubs" (this show was not very creative in the name department, or anything else, really), Ami is wearing a swimsuit. I'm not sure if this is even cowardice or not; the dialogue offers no clue as to whether or not she's supposed to be wearing one. She's got an umbrella and is writing in a journal, but that seems more like a joke given the entry she's writing is all about her being in the shower to relax and get away from the world. And, without any info from production of the episode, I'm left completely stumped as to whether or not that swimsuit is censorship or not.
Nevertheless, in the eyes of this blog, it's an error that needs to be corrected, so I put Krizeii to the task to create an edited version of the scene. His take, supervised by myself, replaces Ami's swimsuit with some convenient soap suds, and I really think it works out better. It gives the same level of coverage while making it more apparent that she's in the shower. After all, the point of a shower is to get clean, right?
Although, I'm not sure if that's the reason why she's taking this shower. Cartoons are confusing...
