A question as to what is "excessively violent."

Well, the 5-or-so-minute animated sequence in it is 100% anime, made by Production I.G., so I'm certain that qualifies.

Indeed it does.

And would it be too considered too violent then? At least, were you to include the parts that feature killing?

If I had my own bandwidth to host the video with, I'd sure as hell use it.

Still, the guidelines for this thing are pretty loose, and I haven't seen the Kenshin OVAs, so I have no basis for comparison.

I suppose I can work my way around cutting the scene out...just stretch a few other scenes longer time-wise. Wouldn't be a huge deal.

And of course the Battle Angel Alita manga was better. The anime horribly mangled the story.

What I continue to not understand is why the site moderators don't create a sticky or guide somewhere that gives at least some basic guidlines. Ideally they could weigh in on a few well known scenes from Kenshin OVA's, Blood: The Last Vampire, Kill Bill, Knocking on Heaven's Door, Evangelion, Kite, etc. The shotgun example method should produce at least one that confused people have seen, which would be about the most helpful way to answer their questions. That way we could just answer this sort of question with a link instead of a bunch of people who have no idea what the rules really are giving thier own best guess. A sticky would be a good idea because it would give people a place to discuss this instead of the topic poping up in the forums all the time. The only problem I can see is how to avoid spoilers.

My estimation of you just went up a notch or two.

i totally agree!! personally, i think that since "to much gore" is all relative who's to judge? esspesually with no guidelines!!!

dohnuts should be eaten, not followed.

technically, we're doing both

eating the bandwidth and following it's rulez... but yeah... we need a sticky

STICKY! STICKY! STICKYi

The guidelines are purposefully ambiguous. This is so that people will stop, think, "hmmm, will I possibly get banned for uploading this video?", and then contact me about it if they have any issues with it. If the guidelines were more explicit, I can easily see people making videos just to push the rules. "But you said [insert marginally acceptable footage here] was OK, so I just repeated that from as many anime as I could find, so this means that the video is Ok since it's in the rules." Context usually has much more to do with marginal material than the material itself.

Obvious examples of what is and is not acceptable have been explained already. It's the marginal videos that need to be reviewed. I am the one that needs to review them. The rules say that they should talk to me about it. Some people don't want to bother reading the rules and just ask instead. I get this all the time with "When am I going to be able to download videos?" and "Why is there a 2 week probation period?" emails I get all the time when the explination is given to them on the very page that says they can't download yet.

unfinished thought:

if youre going to have a zero tolerance policy, then make some damn guidelines!!!!
