Agreed. El-hazard is probably the only anime where I prefer the English dub to the Japanese(Jinnai is great in English). I once saw an episode of Cardcaptors, and it almost kept me from buying Cardcaptor Sakura. > That does suck.

True, but there are two things I refuse to buy: dub only discs(i.e. Mobile Suit Gundam) and dubtitled discs(i.e. Robotech). I don't want the domestic companies to start thinking that it's alright to make discs without the Japanese audio and an accurate subtitle translation. -- John DeMoranville jdemoran74@mediaone.net "If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?"- George Carlin
