Weird. Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird. Well, I hope for you all lucky
people in America that this is true! They'd better not change anything
though...I'd hate to see the opening theme, or anything else for that matter
distorted in any way.

Hope they use the Manga Entertainment dubbers, they're GOOD! (Some of them
at least.)
