English dub is HILARIOUS

The English Dub is HILARIOUS. The one time I think the Dub is better than the subtitles.
The English voice actors were allowed a LOT of artistic license to enhance the storyline and it gets pretty off-colour and very much not PC, but a really funny end result.
Animation was crap, original (Japanese version) was boring and nigh-unwatchable, but the Dub is so funny

If you truly loved the show, this is definitely worth it. The english dub isn't that bad either, I have actually come to like it. However, I still prefer subs over dubs. The extra you get with it are pretty sweet too.

If you know the movie then you'll love this release, especially if you only know English; the English dubbing is great!

It's been FAR too long in coming, but this new subtitled/dubbed version -- uncut and with all the sweat, blood and tears intact -- is absolutely GORGEOUS. Clear, crisp visuals. Clean sound. NO EDITING. WOO HOO!!

One technical complaint is that the individual episode links don't seem to work on Disk 2. No matter which episode I select, it always starts on the first one on the disk. Annoying, but not deal-breaking. Marathon mode (where you can watch all the episodes on a disk in a row with titles and re-cap cut out) MORE than makes up for this minor production flaw. I just hope they get that sorted out on the next set.

I'm a purist, I admit it. Personally, I listen only to the Japanese track. I know a dub is essential for marketing in the US, but honestly, one is missing SO MUCH of the One Piece experience if one only listens to the dub.

Part and parcel of the One Piece package is the INCREDIBLE voice acting on the part of the Japanese seiyuu; only they seem able to bring these amazing, inspiring, crazy characters to full life. Just watching Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Bazooka or Zoro's Oni Giri in motion doesn't quite do it... you need to *hear* them. Especially the always wacky and delightful Kappei Yamaguchi (more commonly known for his role as Inuyasha) as Usopp the Liar and the series-favorite Kazuki Yao who creates distinctive voices for many of the more, um, *unique* villains along the way (until he finally joins the crew much later!).

I'd really like to see the Japanese versions of the title/ending songs as extras next time too, in addition to the English re-works (which actually are pretty decent). You did *so* much better then 4Kids with this one, Funimation, that it's no real comparison. I like to pretend that horror doesn't even exist, actually. (Now if we could just get Viz to show the manga more respect too.... *heavy sigh*)

THANK YOU for saving One Piece, Funimation. It more than deserves the chance to be as big over here as it still is in Japan after 10 years!

Keep up the good work and... when does the next set come out? I want to buy it right now! *happy grin*

I really enjoyed it for what it was. The dubbed voices were actually very well done. I was surprised in that regard.

While I did not personally enjoy the english dub for this series, the translations of the Jap dub are very well done! Funimation made sure that the feel of this series was left unchanged.

The box's art and subsequent 2 dvd sleeves are done very well & colors are vibrant. Both quality of content material and box make this release a must buy for fans of this anime, or maybe even just paranormal media in general.

I gotta hand it to the voice actors. For English dubbed it's a great game.

One of the best Anime in history (for me), the humor is acid, exaggerated, absurd and extraordinary. The audio is very good and the soundtrack is the best of the best in history. The image Quality is very good.

I wish this series was available in the North American viewing format, as it is one of the funniest shows ever.  I purchased an all region DVD player just to watch this series.  It is laugh out loud hilarious.

This is another hilarious Love Hina adventure
In the first episode the rent money ends up disappearing and Kitsune ends up attempting to find it, in the meanwhile Naru ends up getting accused of it while trying to hide something that was in her room that she lost (something from DVD 2 :)) and trying to make sure nowone sees
In the second episode Kaolla transforms to an adult form and "stalks" Keitaro, and her sister Amalla, comes for a visit, providing some humorous moments...
In the third episode Naru becomes a pop star idol with Kentaro as her manager, she enjoys it for a while untill Keitrao reminds her of some things...
The fourth episode is hilarious, Motoko ends up having to dress feminine, and in the process, ends up inadvertantly attracting men to her (something she disapproves of) until she (reluctantly) has to ask Keitaro for a favor so she will be left alone by men :)
Overall its a good DVD, if your already this far into the series, don't stop it only gets better :)

I loved Season 1 of Kamisama Kiss and enjoyed watching both the Subtitled and the Dubbed versions. The English Voice cast was really well done and I am looking forward to watching Season 2 of this series.

I loved this anime and never stopped laughing from episode one.  Yamada has some wild thoughts and so does her friends.  If they ever make a live version of this,  I hope they will make it as funny as this anime.  Great anime and highly recommend it.

I think this anime is wonderful ! Upbeat, light hearted and adorable ! Jessica Nigri does a good voice over, considering this is her first anime. The Japanese voice actresses, especially Ayano Yamamoto, do a great job. If you are into the light hearted, upbeat, adorable animes that convey Japanese culture in these thems then this is for you ! There is alittle fan service if that is your thing as well.

The movie is great and the extra CD from the fanmeeting is very funny. Still can't read the diary because it's in japanese. But it all haves a high quality. I recommend it!

I loved it. If you like anime, fantasy anime specifically, you'll love this! Also, if you like comedy you'll love this! The extensive use of SD [super deformation, aka chibi] makes it laugh out loud hilarious! Also, the  storyline is so deep, you'll be waiting to find out what happens next, even  after seeing only one episode! The characters are funny, and they have deep  personalities, unlike many animes which leave you with boring characters.
If you've read the Magic Knights Rayearth manga, you may be a little  disappointed. The anime keeps the same basic storyline, but there are many  changes, and the anime is more drawn out. The music is excellent as well. I  love the openning song. The ending song is also great, but not as good as  the opening song.
Overall, Magic Knights Rayearth is an extraordinary  anime. I would recommend it to children as well as adults!

The RiffTrax crew really shines when they do it live.  Having watched a number of their movie presentations I just wanted to perhaps let them know by this comment how much I enjoy their work.  The guys (and gals) who make the dub-overs are not only clever but incredibly observant.
