Michael, I can't believe that you haven't seen Key the Metal Idol.  I 
figured that all seiyuu fans would like it.  It's got a decent cast.

Key the Metal Idol does NOT have the opening song originally in English.  
I'm sure the English tune is just another Viz invention.

I never watched the Viz dub of Key, but I know somebody who has.  From 
what I heard about it, it sounds like a total hack job.  Examples 
provided upon request.
   Also, if you get any Viz subtitled tape past Vol. 1, the OP/ED song 
lyrics are the "sing-a-long" lyrics.  I'm not even sure if you can call 
it a "liberal" translation.  It's mostly made up lyrics that look good.  
This is something that I don't understand.  Why would somebody want to 
read fake song lyrics?
