Also, I was discussing with Addy if Nancy could pull someone's heart out.
Well, okay, she technically didn't, but, I know that she could now. Lenlalron Flameblaster fucked around with this message on 10-24-2004 at 02:12 AM.

Mike the Butcher probably says this to all the girls:
Am I the only one that is cofused?
Nancy was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend cloned her, and sent clone back as a spy; clone was the one that kissed Yomiko. Some stuff happens, Yomiko gets captured, ex-boyfriend brings out the kidnapped real Nancy who promptly gets stabbed by clone Nancy. Later on, real Nancy shows up and fights clone Nancy. Real Nancy wins, but masquerades as Clone Nancy for those few seconds to get the drop on, and subsequently squeeze the life out of, her ex-boyfriend. Yomiko parachutes to safety, Real Nancy suffers brain damage from lack of oxygen, gets sent to hospital. Yomiko visits Damaged Nancy, tells her of her past exploits, but claims it to have been her 'older sister'.
Anything else?

Elvish Crack Piper impressed everyone with:
Is the TV series that "read or die tv" that was on Khys? Found that really boring :"-/
There is Read Or Die the TV series which G4TechTV has rights for. Which was on the FTP(and still good, just not as). Then there is the ROD OVA which Cartoon Network has the rights for. Better but feels a little bit too short.

Slightly incorrect Real Nancy dies on the rocket, the clone Nancy who was drowned did not die and was resuscitated, I imagine. This can be evidenced by Yomiko telling the Amnessia Nancy that she had an older sister who saved the world.

You are correct, good sir. I was a little confused myself when I first saw it subbed a while back. Mistake is understandable.

Vise the Stompy had this to say about pies:
One more point is while I really like this series, the dubs for the show and OAVs are probably two of the most irritating I have heard in awhile and takes alittle away at how awsome they are.
Compared to most of the dubs from the past ten years, the ROD dubs, especially the TV series, are pretty good. English dubbing has come a long way in the past four of five years. With the voice over studios moving away from starving actors in Southern California towards professional dubbing studios in Texas and Canada the quality has really become much better.
For some really outstanding dubs I would recommend:
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi (Hell I recommend this one subbed too)
Voices of a Distant Star
and
Texhnolyze
For those who hate dubs just because it is the otaku thing to do, Mr. 2 has a rant for you.

While I like dubs for the most part. This one didn't seem to flow right in my mind. First off the british accents did not very good compared to dubs like Hellsing* Which I really liked* While the OAV is less guiltiy of this the OAV repeatedlty kept calling Drakes Daughter Moggie when it should be prounounced Maggie. In the TV series non of the voices felt like they fit with the charachters. Jr. sounded like a little girl, he may have looked like a girl, but the original clearly makes him sound like a boy. NeNeNe voice actor really didn't do the charachter attitude justiice and the three sisters voices also failed to fit their personalities. Don't get me wrong I am thrilled Read or Die is on TV, but I think voice over really take away alot of the shows energy.
On the other hand, I like Gundam Wing's dub better because all the pilots sound like girls in the Japanese version.

Here I was thinking the dubbing for the OAV was one of the best dubs I'd ever heard, but preconceptions of the biased show me how wrong I really am*.* Not.
Hay now. It isn't like we're OP that says every dub is bad. This is just a matter of original was superior.

Everyone wondered WTF when Addy wrote:
The only voice I couldn't stand was Yomiko's, but every lead girl (even in Japanese) has the token annoying voice.
Kaname Chidori in the Full Metal Panic! dub sounds like a valley girl. Definitely the worst of the main voices.

I definitely liked the Trigun dub better than the sub. And I did see subs for that first. Vash the Stampedo!
