Only heard some clips... And I still loathe the fact that for some reason in dubs... Kansai accent equals american redneck. <_< I almost hate to see how Negima will turn out. T__T

Sesshomaru in English dub sounds so bad ass but in japanese he sounds less intimidating and more gay. Now, I actually believe it has to do with what you started out with. You started watching something in Japanese, you dont want to switch to english and Visa Versa.

For the mainstream Western audience, the main problem with watching untranslated stuff is that you may not understand it. So companies try their best to make the series watchable. Some are good, some are bad, some are dreadful... I prefer watching LH subbed, because you get the Japanese soundtrack and dub, but you can follow (sorta) what's going on, even when readin the Americanised subtitles...

Bang! And the dirt is gone! Posts: 16 Group: AWOL Member #84 Joined: March 18, 2006	I'd prefer the kind of Anime where the subtitles appear at the bottom, so you can hear just how Kawaii the female voices are.
