Anybody else here following this particular anime series?
I have to say, this is definitly one of THE best I've seen in a while. The genius of comining FLCL's randomness with a sane plot, giant robots, great characters, and some GREAT voice acting...well, its great :P
I'm sure some of you remember the day Episode 8 came out, and the reaction on 4chan. Not to mention what happened after Episode 15.
"Spiral King: So amazingly GAR that he doesnt need lungs to talk."

Its too bad they went and liscenced it. Listening to Kamina without his Japanese VA just wont be the same. And lines like "Dont believe in yourself. Believe in me who believes in you!" are going to be really awkward in English. And all bets are off on whether or not the translators get half the more subtle jokes, which a lot of the fansubbers missed. Kamina shouting "MUDA MUDA MUDA!" which turned into "DABU DABU DABBU DAAA!" in some subs.
