I only just listened to the Arietty episode and was surprised Scrym hadn't seen it. I got to see it in a cinema, which is worth it for the sound alone.
The Americanized version sounds like a Pokemon opener clone, which wouldn't surprise me if the same people worked on it.
That is exactly the crowd they were going for.
It worked. It worked so hard. I loved Cardcaptors. I really want to try out Cardcaptor Sakura to see if the original show can hold up to my half-remembered fondness for the Americanized version.

It's a hell of a lot better, and I also loved the American version.
Wow... you all just turned into me when I was seven, except I didn't know about bit torent back then, so I didn't have all 70 episodes at immediate access like I do now. I still haven't seen all of it -- again, didn't know bit torent, and the VHSs they had at AB that year weren't easy to come by -- but I've since then re-watched a decent chunk, and I think I actually like it and it isn't just the nostalgia for Plaza AB. It's in the queue right beneath Star Driver and Bakamonogatari.
Has anybody watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0? I heard it's a decent show, but not much really about it. I saw that it ran on the noitaminA block after Eden of the East and that it is going to be released on DVD in my region by the same publisher as EotE in a couple of months. However, I'm kinda worried that the series will hit a bit close to home considering the events earlier this year.
Coincidentally, I just finished watching Eva 1.11 and 2.22. Took me this long because I wanted to rewatch the original series before I saw these. Too bad the third(and fourth?) one doesn't come out until Fall 2012.
Been watching Heaven's Memo Pad it's not bad. It's a detective series of sorts. The detective is a moe type character who is a shut-in recluse. She is tolerable for the most part. The series mostly follows her assistant a regular high school kid who has the makings for a detective himself but still falls quite short. That's where all the side characters come in. Ex Boxer, Miltary otaku, Gigolo, and Yakuza boss. The latest episode has the Boxer, Miltary Otaku and Gigolo playing a game of Settlers of Catan. Which was very amusing.
So, when you watch a fan sub and the fansubber puts romanized Japanese as subtitles when the characters speak english is that them just being, "Look how big my dick is?"
With the return of the family laptop forma month long trip, I believe it is time for me to watch GaoGaiGar again. It's been so long I've watched a full series and that's probable the best way for me to start again, the power of courage.

No when they put their names before those of the people that made the show, that is them being dicks. I believe that there was an ep years ago by a guy called the 'Otaking' who talked about this. The guy was really well informed and had a really good argument.

Catcher and cuter. Should have stuck with the original.

Tomorrow I'll watch Eden of the East, which I actually bought sight unseen due to recommendation from multiple sources.
