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.

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.
