Line 11:
An extra note of surrealism is added above and beyond that which normally surrounds Sana by the presence of Babbit -- an albino bat who acts as a [[Narrator]] and [[Greek Chorus]] for the show. In addition to his other schtick, Babbit is quite aware that he and the other characters are in an anime, and sometimes upbraids Sana and her friends for doing things they shouldn't on TV.
As of August 2005, [http://www.funimation.com/ FUNimation] has begun releasing licensed DVDs of ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]'' in North America under its abbreviated title, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130921061956/http://www.kodocha.tv/ Kodocha]''. The dub of the first DVD had been censored heavily, but it stopped by the next release. Additionally, the original opening credits from the first season have been replaced with the second season credits because of legal pressures exerted by the recording company behind Tokio, the group who recorded the original [[Anime Theme Song|theme song]], ''7 O'clock News''. A cameo appearance by a member of Tokio in the first episode has actually been [[Bowdlerise|bowdlerized]] in both English and Japanese to keep any mention of the group out of the North American release. Any audio relating to Tokio in the Japanese track is completely muted, including the 'next episode' previews in the first 16 episodes, which have Tokio's ''7 O'clock News'' playing in the background. The second half of the series has yet to be released.
