Its on cartoon network.

Its good.

Nothing's been cut, and the translation feels right. Im not anal enough to watch the dub and then watch the sub alternating every few minutes, but the changes from the sub are what one would expect from a dubbing company.

Go watch it.

The chars don't seem quite realistic enough for my tastes. Overall it's a good series, but having just watched the character art in Cowboy Bepop and Trigun it seems too cartooney.

The story and fight scenes are worth it RK, this is quite the nice series, not sure if it contends at the level of CB or Trigun, but logic dictates that you bring over the best first yes?

If I heard correctly, they gave Ed+Al southern accents to match their Osaka accents in the sub.

Uh...no?

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I don't watch TV much, so didn't realize it was the premier ep. I turned on CN to watch Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and caught: "You are evil! YOu have a metal arm!" or some such. Then the episode ended.

I haven't seen the series before the CN premier but I heard good things and it did not disapoint. I look foreward to seeing what happens.

I recently finished watching the series and even if they did a somewhat crappy job with the dub, you guys will enjoy it.

I still cant get the spoon episodes to play right on my computers.

Divx codec, defiler pack, got it all :-/

This series is kickass, my only gripe is eds voice being a little too much like the ninja turtles.

I wish they could've left the intro in--the song is pretty cool. Other than that I'm pleased with how it turned out.

No, he's right. The first episode starts right away with a bloody transmutation. I'm a bit surprised that none of that was cut, even if it's quick.

Then it plays the usual intro (for the first season) at the end of the episode instead of the closing theme.

I've seen all 51 eps of it and I can't think of anything but good things to say about it. Great animation, great characters, and, for once, a decent ending (something that doesn't happen much in anime). I wouldn't watch it dubbed if I was paid to...

The ending was lame. Without giving spoilers out to those who haven't seen it, it was cliche and predictable. If they wanted a happy ending, they should have done the happy ending. If they wanted a sad ending, they should have done the sad ending. If they wanted to leave it open for sequals, don't end it.

As it is, there's wiggle room to do a sequal, but it would suck if the took it the way things were presented at the end.
