Fred: region-free English sub DVDs of Moon Phase are starting to appear in anime webshops (at least Phase 1 - ep1/2 so far). The first 4 are available from Japan but at the usual premium prices. The US Domestic prices are much more reasonable for the usual unfathomable reasons.

Haven’t spotted any review yet, but I’m hoping they’re correcting the “frames are late, insert a still here” problems some of the episodes had.

Now if Mahou would just hurry along….

I don’t have the raws of Nanoha (I assume you mean Mahou Shounen) but I have the full season in sub form. Email me if you continue to have trouble finding them.

I’ve pretty much stopped watching Negima fansubs altogether… I checked out all the groups that did episode 1 (yeah, all seven of ‘em), and only found two groups that I felt I could handle for a full season or more. Problem is, one of those groups hasn’t put out anything since episode 5 (but was pretty quick with subs before then), and the other is still coming along slowly. I have some fairly major translation/style issues with the one group that seems to be actively turning it out; maybe they’ve gotten better with it since episode 4, I’ll need to check them again. For now, my Japanese - which is still absolutely terrible - along with the fact that I read the manga lets me get by on raws.

Dokuro-chan… eeh, I guess I’d say that I enjoy it. I’ve seen much better “wacky comedy” style anime (Guu comes to mind), but Dokuro-chan is amusing in its own way. I’ll continue to grab it when subs come out, but not as rabidly as my other shows.

Now back to tracking down raws for Mai-HiME and Nanoha… got into those shows late, so hunting down raws for early episodes isn’t as easy as it could have been.

There were *parts* I found hysterical (like when he and Dokura-chan are exchanging monotonic dialog as they walk down the hall towards class)…. and the whole monkey/Dokura-says-hi-to-class was briefly funny, I even found the “world of the future” bit funny… but I’m not a fan of the grotesque faces or the “potty humor” and I found the second angel a bit odd in enjoying her murder attempts too much (rather than something more angelic “o my, it is awful but we must stop him”).

The opening song is just soooooo Harvard Lampoon wrong funny, though…
Actually, much of it reminds me of the old tasteless but you found yourself chuckling National Lampoon humor from the 70s.

I’ll keep the first one around for a counter-example to the stuff I like — just to show the range of anime … but yeah, unlikely to acquire the next release unless I’m mind-numbingly bored.

The next Negima has been fansubbed (#13) and the animation *has* been improving (word has it that they may re-animate much of the first ten episodes for DVD because it was so poorly done). Blargh, where’s TMP #16 fansub …. I hate being caught up , every day late makes me spin faster…
