Ooh, recently at Borders I saw it, so I bought the second in the demon arc. I just bought the first one and finished it.. yeah, a little out of order. xD; But point is, I'm awaiting the release of the next ones, I love it so far~ Its fast paced, crazy, and has a nice element of mystery.

Hanyuu moe~

I haven't watched the English dub, and I doubt I will, considering the stuff I keep hearing about the voice acting.
The show itself is one of the greatest I've ever seen, even though I don't usually like violence... Something about it kept me watching. Dunno what it was.

Though I do consider Kai to be an incredibly epic season...
I mean, how often do you get to see
Spoiler:
Rena and Keiichi bat/cleaver teamwork, Akasaka epic punch, and Kasai shotgun assault! Man, that was awesome. And there was Hanyuu~

Probably one of my favorite animes. I spent a good portion of my summer watching after I saw it in a list of recommended anime for fans of Elfen Lied and I turned out to like it better. I've bought both of the released manga so far and I am likeing it a little bit better. I even have a Mion figure on my desk. Now if I could only import a few of the games i'll be set.

Question; I may start watching the anime rather than reading the manga.. Both actually, but I'll start watching it too. So sub or dub? Is the dub bad, or tolerable, or..?
I watched the first episode of the dub just out of curiosity after reading some of the comments here. To be honest, the only voice I actually liked was Keiichi's. Mion and Satoko's voices were pretty average, except Satoko's laugh was completely ruined if you ask me, and Rena and Rika's were pretty unbearable if you ask me.

A lot of the characters' speech patterns were basically ruined in translation, for example, one of the charms of Rika is the fact that she ends every sentence with "Desu". Also, a number of the jokes were removed with the translation.

So I'd definitely recommend watching it subbed rather than dubbed.

I just finished watching it recently. It was pretty good, and it kind of started making sense in Kai, I still think it's sad that that season was less homocidal though.

I think it was scary how Rena went from "OH MAI GAWD IT'S SO CUTE, I WANNA TAKE IT HOME!" to a killer psycho with a saw (?). xD

This is the only anime where I just couldn't watch one of the scenes, which is saying something considering it did that to me. Which scene you ask? FINGERNAILS. D8

Oh, and Akasaka is the anime version of Chuck Norris.
