Trivia
-Japanese dubbing has a completely different intro and song, as does the outro. The songs are approximately one minute and 30 seconds long, as befits an anime.

-Episode "Where's Yoyo Go?" was at one point censored because it was associated with a brawl. It was the only censored episode in the entire series in Japanese dub.

-This is the second and only best preserved dub in the series, right after Italian.

-Some sounds are changed. E.g: In episode 13: "Radio Cosy Corner" at 2 minutes 14 seconds to 2 minutes 46 seconds, the radio plays Japanese folk song played on the Shamisen instrument instead of lifely music. The episode in Japan was released the day after Showa Day (April 30, 2004 to be exact), so these music was put there.

-The Japanese Dub sometimes have references to Japanese culture. It may seem very controversial, but such passages are extremely rare added.

-In the Japanese version, the Margot (マーゴット) character in the TV Tokyo and Kids Station commercials is voiced by Asami Yoshida and pronounces the catchphrase "kiro!" (キロ) ending sentences, but neither in the dub itself nor in the original, she did not pronounce it.

A similar situation happened with the Jacky (ジャッキー), which in the commercials was voiced by Kentaro Tone. -Episodes 3, 5, 15 and 25 were banned on TV in Japan due to the fact that the episodes mentioned featured the following content: racist (episode 2, 3) sexist (episode 3), scornful (episode 3, 5), irritable (episode 15), propaganda (episode 5), discrimination (episode 2, 3) and dark humor (episode 25). The content was considered too "serious, controversial and intolerant" to be shown to preschoolers even though the show was to this age appropriate. However, the episodes were released on DVDs "Cosy Corner Outtakes" (Japanese: "友達の巣:アウトテイク").

"シリーズ「友達の巣」は物議を醸しています. プロパガンダエピソードが公開されました. 番組禁止になるの？"

~G's magazine, June 2004.

The only completely banned episode was Episode 5. When it first appeared on TV, it caused a lot of controversy, so the entire series was banned from being shown in Japan for 3 months.

When the series was being recorded (released episodes), the scripts was changed so that it did not contain as much racism.

-Even though there were no episodes featuring racism-style fanservice, the fanservice of episodes 13 and 23 (and others) were not omitted. I mean, in episode 13 in the end scene one of the characters was completely naked, and in 23 the same character was wearing a swimsuit the whole episode. People thought it was normal. Especially older fans aged 14-19.
