Heh heh, thanks for uploading them! I just listened to them and I was
very amused. Maria's accent is pretty good... for me to poop on! ;) She
reminds me of that insult-comic dog puppet (Triumph?) on Conan O'Brien. But
that's not necessarily a bad thing to me. :)
I really wish ADV would release a sub/dub DVD, so I can see both
without spending too much money. The dub sounds like it's a barrel of
laughs, but I'll have to watch it to be sure. Maybe renting would be a good
idea here.
On a more serious note, is there any way we can give feedback (that
will be taken seriously) to ADV? I wish they would change the art on the
box, and maybe remove that "based on the hit video game" thing. If nobody's
heard of the game, they might figure that the game sucked and therefore the
anime will too. Not to mention that anime based on video games generally
hasn't been so hot. But then, I don't really know the anime-consuming
demographic. What percent of anime byuers are on-line and would be familiar
with something like Sakura Taisen? Anyhow, I don't think it would hurt if
they could find more compelling art. Then again, there could be licensing
issues involved... ahh, what the heck.
