As for the Americanizing. I actually really agree with you. They should tamper with the original artists intentions as little as possible. However, in some cases I think it is excusable, particularly when a Japanese cultural joke that's suppose to have the audience roaring with laughter would just leave American's going "Huh, that was, umm... Yeah..." =) But on the whole the author's original vision should be sacred ground.
Amen. Lupin actually got it's Americanizing, but it wasn't terrible. It helped, I thought. Most of the jokes were old and they got revitalized in the new dub.
BUT - On the other hand, and Soaze (KS) will agree with me here, the Americanization of Initial D...ugh. I want to kill someone over that. weatdrop:
