Just received my volume 1 of "Tokyo Majin" that I had on preorder! It's cool to have it, and since I already watched the series, I really out to pay for it, but...

After the first two episodes, I can definitively say the English dub stinks. It's as badly done as stuff from ten years ago. Out of the five central characters, the only voice that is even vaguely 'right' for the character is Komaki. I'll be re-watching the rest of the series in sub, I think.

An example of bad dubbing? In one scene, a female teacher (Maria) walks in to greet the homeroom class. She calls out sweetly "Good morning, and be..." then yells out just short of a scream, "QUIET!" In the original, lots of before-class chatter in a room full of students completely ignoring her. In the dub, this line is delivered in a dead-silent classroom.

Hunh? Did the director not even read the script? Argh.

I've been pleased with many recent dubs. This one is a throwback to the Bad Old Days.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Not to mention that the Black Jack manga was written by the venerable Osamu Tezuka, who, in addition to being the guy who virtually invented modern manga and anime, happens to have been a medical doctor.

Finished the first season of Cardcaptor Sakura at episode 35.

I honestly can't figure out how the Cartoon Network version managed to fit in just 27 episodes.

The point of climax has yet to come. XD

- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

Andrew, how much. Oh wait, there's probably a review on the content here. XD

I've really wanted to look into this series for Ed alone. She reminds me so much of an Aspie.

Cardcaptor Sakura: The First Movie. It feels more like one giant episode then a story being of enough importance to be its own film. But I still enjoyed it.

Just finished up Disc 3 of Shanna. This is turning out to be a pretty good series, despite all the claims that it was 'just a Bleach rip-off'.

Actually, I looked into it and found out the original Shanna light novels started only a few months after the original Bleach manga. So even if one inspired the other, Bleach wasn't exactly the franchise it is today.

Also, I've recently discovered a fansub 'Dennou Coil' which is really fascinating. Somewhere in-between the Goonies and the Matrix, if that makes any sense at all.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Perfect Blue was::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:
This was everything that the Death Note dub should have been but sadly isn't.A tautly acted and suberply scripted and directed psysho-thriller with
a new twist and turn in just about every other scene.The question of what is real and what isn't continuing being changed as our perspective along with
Mima's has to continually be readjusted after each new revelation.The final ironic revelation of who the actual culprit is turns out to be truelly Hitchkockian when it comes.That and the final line:
"No,it's really me."uttered by Mima at the end and thus breaking the fourth
wall makes it a must see.
Bridget Hoffman(Lain,Serial Experiments Lain,Jeri,Digimon:Tamers,
Miaka,Fushigi Yugi,etc.)once again plays the character of the Innocent
whose life is scrambled around and twisted through trauma.Wendee Lee
does a good turn as Rumi,Mima's sympathetic appearing manager.:dance::dance:

I just watched Nausicaa (sp?) for the first time a couple of days ago. What a good movie! I love Myazaki's work! Of course there was the usual environmental message/undertone to the whole thing, but it was still enjoyable!
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Finished Haibane Renmei on Wednesday.That pretty much was the
series in a nutshell as it was mainly a Reki/Rekka episode with everyone else literally sleeping though most of the episode.I loved the ending.It was nice and sweet.
Yesterday I rewatched ep.10 of Ah!My Goddess.The last time I saw it was
subbed but this time it was dubbed.Note to self:Never get on Belldandy's
bad side.

I saw Blood:The Last Vampire on Ani-Monday followed by Dead Leaves which was completely insane like looking at a Andy Warhol painting while on LSD.Though it was worth hearing the line:"The Stupid Leading
The Hopelessly Insane."

Yesterday I went and rewatched ep.13 of Record of Lodoss War dubbed.
