Dr. Pepper is alright, but not what I would call the nectar of the gods, if anything Pepsi is the nectar of the gods.

Edit: Also I had your Pepsi avatar on my mind when I made that post. It's just that excellent and distracting at the same time.

Thanks, whoever decided that Lu-Bu and Pepsi went together was a genius. I thought about changing my theme a bunch of times but I can't tear myself from it just yet, and I wanted to change the sig, but it fits the color scheme and the theme, so it's hard to drop.

Also, when I heard they were going to be changing a certain protagonist's name from "Ban" to "Van", I thought they would to the sensible thing and pronounce it "Vaughn", like Vince Vaughn. But nope. It's van like the automobile, so it sounds just plain stupid.

They Americanized most of the names, too. So Ami Kawamura becomes Amy Cowen and Jin Kaidou becomes Justin...Kaidou. Yup.

Saber Marionette R was pretty cool, think I'm going to like this franchise.

Yeah, it seems that Nicktoons is basically the new 4Kids.

In this one series premiere episode alone they:
  • Acted on their hate for midriffs
  • Covered up 1 inch of leg
  • Changed gun barrels to...glowing...gun barrels
  • Replaced "Death" with "Knock Out". Despite the fact that...you know...they have Avatar, which uses the words "death" and "die" a lot.
  • Completely replaced a well done game/anime OST with an "eccentric 00s dynamic kids soundtrack". You know the ones.
  • Proved that good voice actors don't make up for terrible dub choices.
  • Didn't even attempt to translate the catchy opening and just forwent it, choosing instead to use its scenes in a ****** English Techno Poppy song that seem to trend among post-00 anime openings. See recent Pokemon and Yugioh Zexal.

But...despite all of that...it's not really that bad a dub. It's voice actors are actually good and...despite the various changes, I realize it could have been much worse. Though I do wonder how they'll handle the plot to assassinate the Prime Minister...
