Are these the dubs only? Most of them where god awful. If we are talking about the uncut subs then I'm in.

I voted for Sailor Moon, Doremi and Pretty Cure... and I noticed that Doremi starts with seasion 2... I hate 4kids so much... Man I really hope that they realise those shows...

It'll be sad that the fansubbed versions of Sailor Moon end up being more professional than Toei's translations. Rolling Eyes

Seeing Digimon uncut with official English subs is something that I've wished for for the past 8 years!! I have a question. How does VOD and the Downloading thing work? I've never really tried it.

For the downloading, so far it's been pretty much the same across the board in the US. You pay a fee using a credit card, then you follow a link to download what you just paid for. The episode/movie is tied to 1 or 3 machines of your choice that you register with the entity you're buying it from, and these machines can never be changed. Your computer dies, you're SOL. Also, in a lot of cases they can't be burned to dvd. It really more of a rental process than an ownership process regardless of what they call it. DRM sucks.

The only VOD I've used has been through Comcast and it was all free. But basically you picked what you wanted to watch from the available shows and watched it whenever as long it was offered in the menu. It was also possible to record what you were watching.

Funny that AOD hasn't reported this poll yet. I guess there was some forthcoming hentai title which Chris had to comment on which took more priority. Rolling Eyes

Wow, feel the snark!

We don't cover too much regarding VOD or download material. It's that simple.

Keep up the little comments, it's what I love to find on my forum searches here. They make my day! :D

That's a bit misleading, since you have been known to review downloadable content on dvds. Also, these are related to OOP titles which were previously available on dvd.

I thought what makes your day is being behind other news sites, because you'd rather discuss the merits of the latest overpriced anime disc featuring women with big tits getting raped. Rolling Eyes

And I want Metal Hero stuff as well!! Screw Beetleborgs, I want Winspector and Solbrain!! And nice box sets; none of this individual DVD stuff. Unless your thinking of airing on TV somewhere.

There's been how many of those? One? The Freedom HD DVD. That's certainly not the same as VOD which doesn't even require a set-top player. You might as well say "You've reviewed a live action movie or two, why don't you review every live action movie made?"
