So guys... what do you think?
I dunno when FMA is coming on, but I think GITS is starting Nov 6th, 12:00AM. I don`t really have any feelings about it really, apart from a feeling of not having something that only I knew about... Now people are gonna come up to me saying "HAVE YOU SEEN GITS: SAC??? OH MAN IT ROCKS!!!" and I`ll just stand there, groaning remembering when I was one of the few and privilaged to watch it ;D Apart from that... what do you think?
P.S There`s also a GITS:SAC game coming out on the PS2 which looks sucky as hell.

I just don't see how they are going to show some of the scenes in either series. I mean.....sure, it's prolly pg-13 throughout most of it..but some people die in some pretty creative ways throughout. Adult Swim can only show so much....so there will be mucho editing.

Yeah, I agree...it's also going to be in English too, and I have no clue how bad the dubbing will be. I know that most dubbed anime are devalued when the switch is made from Japanese to English...look at Dragonball Z and Excel Saga....Full Metal Alchemist in English? I think I'll pass.

Someone Educate me....
As far as englis/japanese crossovers. SOMETIMES they are done well. Lets look a WHR. I think the dubbing was quite nice in that series. So, As much as Id love to, Im not going to agree with you yet Lids, Ill wait for it to come out, THEN Cringe.

There are a couple of anime series that are done well when they're dubbed in English...just the majority of the dubbing is worse than the original. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Wolf's Rain are some good examples of some excellent dubbing, but there are more bad English dubbings than there are good. I guess I'm not expecting much.

Did you really just say Wolf's Rain was good in English? Oh my...
I would add Escaflowne to that list as well. I think they did an excellent job dubbing it, even though I want to STRANGLE the voice actor who did Hitomi.

Well, from what I remember, I wasn't too angry at the dubbing, aside for the voice actor for Kiba...Only saw one ep on CN (Cartoon Network), and I don't remember it being terrible. I'm just dreading to hear Edward's (FMA) voice in English...I think they may butcher it.
Oh, and Hitomi was one annoying bitch...right up there with Merle. Her voice in English made it worse. Gave me a desire to jam a pair of scissors in my ear.

FMA starts on CN at 12:00 on Sunday(Saturday night) I heard a clip of it and it's not looking too good...the show is freakin' awesome, so I'll probably watch it anyway, but from what I saw, Ed's voice sucks. Maybe it's just because I have it all in japanese on dvd and I'm totally obsessed with that version, I don't know, those of you who haven't seen it in japanese might think it's fine. I think my room mate and I are planning on watching it tonight, and I think Mori and SK are watching it too. But yeah, even if the dubbing sucks, go watch it cause the show itself kicks ass!
