Trivia / Cannon God Exaxxion

• No Export for You: Siiiiiigh. This is probably why this here page sat fallow for so long. Dark Horse Manga published the first five volumes in English... and after the fifth volume proceeded to drop the title on a terrible cliffhanger. This may or may not have been due to a fandom kerfuffle over the editing of certain scenes in volume 5. Either way, they unfortunately stopped just before the manga finished making some of its Big Statements and before its Super Robot deconstruction was complete, so the manga isn't as well-known as it probably deserves to be.
• Edited for Syndication: A pretty acceptable example and only appears in the Dark Horse Manga translation; the love scene between Hoichi and Akane veered pretty hard toward the "too hot for American publication" side of things, and so was neatly trimmed from it. While some fans were annoyed any editing occurred at all, others didn't mind it since they thought that scene probably went too far in the original and the edit still manages to keep the heartwarming and comedy intact.
