Talk:Ghost Stories "Kuchisake-onna" Episode (Unaired 2000 Anime Episode)/@comment-26428178-20170321172658

While I can understand concerns from parents, I still have a few...issues with this whole situation.

1. We never actually see Kuchisake-Onna. At all. She isn't present in the trailer. If this is a common Japanese legend, why should her design be concerning? And also, why complain about it before even really seeing it? If it was as bad as the parents expected, why couldn't the animators just fix it up a bit a release the episode at a later date?

2. While cleff-lip is a real medical problem, it is hardly an issue in the west (especially the US) so it would be nice if the episode could be sent over here, dubbed, and aired as a 'lost episode' or released on special copies of the Ghost Stories DVD sets.

Overall, this honestly looks like it would've been the best episode in the whole show. While I do understand concerns, there are probably a million other ways to solve this issue then just banning the episode alltogether. It's a shame we'll probably never get to see this. At least I've now learned about a pretty cool scary story.
