The SuperS dubbed version came out in 2000.

It depends on what anime and what company released it. I haven't really caught up with anime in recent years although I'm particularly interested in the Blood+ series. Read or Die is a recent one although I've only seen the OAV version.

4Kids though...that's the kiss of death concerning what they're notorious for.

I wasn't overly impressed with blood.

I did happen upon a series called Parasite dolls, it's an OVA that was entertaining. I enjoyed it, subbed, of course.

Are we talking about the same series? There's Blood+ and Blood: The Last Vampire. Which one are you referring to?

It's kind of funny that I slowly watched anime. Haven't done so regularly for a long time. First it was the Read or Die OVA, and then the Crayon Shinchan episodes I ripped to a DVD (Japanese version mind you).

I wanted to check out Blood+ you know. I thought the music was interesting.

I'll give you that. most anime has some good music in it, but I need to like the style of the anime too. I'm so burnt on manga'y goodness that i'll puke if i watch one more. For a while, i was in to Witch Hunter Robin, but I think that's past.

Haven't watched Witch Hunter Robin in years. I probably should try to watch it again one of these days. But you're right on how the style of the series has to be good too. Some of the music I like are from series that I've never watched (ex. Rozen Maiden)

Define "manga'y goodness"? If you're talking about those series where the characters are drawn in those short statures, then yeah, it does get old and tiring. Shame, though that some of my favorite manga hasn't been made into a series.

When it comes to my anime, I'm more of a Macross Frontier/Gundam type of person. Inuyasha's stretching it, or Full Metal.

By Manga, I think people with over-sized expresssions, or people that are anatomically, weird.

You mean those with big heads, big eyes, and a small body? Yeah, those looked cute at first until it got annoying. Look for the user name: Amuria on deviantART. She's rather well known for that stuff over and over and over again.

Oh I know what genre of anime is like that and all I can say is how the hell is it that possible to support jugs that are twice the body size. Although if you want notorious enough, I know one of the Yu-Gi-Oh characters is noticeably like that.

So, I'll be NOT looking that name up. I am so not into Chibi stuff.

Yu-Gi-oh shouldn't even count as anime, it was made in america

That's because it's dubbed by 4Kids and any anime series that goes through 4Kids is a death sentence.

Never was a fan of Speed Racer. That goes double with their live action film...which to me, is creepy just looking at the trailers.

So "nice", when I felt comfortable with my history finals, I get a sore throat and fever as a compensation.

I didn't think the movie was that bad. It was a bit over-exposed, but I like the cartoony feel that they gave it.

Karma! you cheated, didn't you/
