The Toonami version isn't butchered THAT bad O_o

Honestly, I think that's a benchmark for Toonami, to get accused of butchering everything (even if they barely edit anything out. look at YYH and Kenshin for instance).

They HAVE to edit stuff or else there would be angry soccer moms complaining, and the channel would be taken off the air. Yes, they could have put this on Adult Swim, but there's not so much bad stuff in it where they would have to put it on there (except for in the first ep, anyway :P ) But anyway....

Ahem.....

In any case, this is probably one of my favorite anime right now for some reason. Maybe it's the way the spells are used in certain situations. Sure, Zatch (yes, I like the name Zatch over Gash. So sue me.) mostly uses Zaker (Zakeru), but in all the fights he has, he uses it in different ways, along with his other spells.

Then there's the way his spellbook gets a new spell every few episodes. I'm eager to see how that will branch out in episodes to come. How many spells will he have in total? That's one of the things I look forward to in the series.

The characters are a weird bunch O_o I mean Suzy (Suzume) is like the most aimless girl I've seen in an anime. Can she BE any dumber? If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the episode where (SPOILER)Kiyo and Zatch go to London, and Suzy unexpectedly appears in a double decker bus. She ACTUALLY thinks she's in Hong Kong! >_>;; Wow.

Then Folgore and Kanchome both look weird and act weird on top of it. Folgore acts brave but he's actually just a big chicken ;D

EDIT: Heh, only thing that irks me about the dub is that Zatch has the same voice actress as Jimmy Neutron (Debi Derryberry), because Jimmy and Zatch sound exactly the same >_>;;
