One item which did throw something into this arena is "Gunbuster". When I first bought DVD I acquired the UK release which was a direct lift from the VHS masters - the giveaway being a video tracking glitch (during a scene when Coach is chatting with Kazumi about Noriko's suitability as a mecha fighter) which was present on the VHS boxset. This master had scenes of bathing nudity removed from the second episode, supplanted with a haphazardly re-edited and shorter scene. Upon discovering that the studio had remastered it to a superior quality and re-released it in the US, I re-purchased it upon this basis but was surprised to see that the original sequence had been restored, though there were then two other apparent changes made - one being the substitution of a piece of homage music (to "Chariots of FIre") in episode one with another track from the series (resulting in a marginally lower quality soundtrack for the whole episode), and more surprisingly an argument scene later in the series when two characters slap and counter-slap across the face. In the remastered version the counter-slap was delivered as a cutaway scene. I'm guessing this was a choice made by the studio themselves, but it just goes to show that in some cases you can never account for either editing choices, culture or censorship.
