        Now, before I start, I would like to clarify that for mecha shows I
prefer dubs because I usually don't give a snarfkeboing about the "story"
anyway, and with subs you (by necessity) miss some of the artwork while
reading them. But for a character story like AMS I have little preference
AS LONG AS IT'S A GOOD DUB. The problem is good dubs are hard to find, and
for a really good anime (AMS) to be slaughtered as a dub is something akin
to blasphemy. In short, I nominate Pete Ward Grand Admiral of the Anime
Nodub Fleet, for the duration.
