    Well most hard-core anime lovers wouldn't touch a dubbed movie with a 10 ft. pole.

    My roomate got me into this series last year, I like the anime well enough but the soundtrack that comes with the dvd box set is annoying as heck, seeing as that's the only cd my roomate ever listens to.

    Just what I want, jpop mixed with the japanese-obsession-with-American-80's music/pop-culture-tears-for-fears-esq garbage. Whoo.

    I wouldn't call the English-language cast "astounding". They really sounded like they were TRYING HARD to sound cool. Pretty good acting when viewed in a vaccuum, but compared to the original cast they got the characters wrong.

    And of course Ed's voice couldn't really be matched anyway, now could it?
