It's not the profanity per se. If it was in the original script, then fine. It's that ADV (and possibly other companies - I don't see that many dubs) tends to liberally lace their dubs with it even when it's not in the original dialogue (more than just "here and there" imo). Ironically, even if you haven't grown to recognize Japanese swear words, watching the subtitled dialogue on the very same shows will often tip you off to the fact that the dub scripts have had the words added as they're not in the subtitle scripts. junior -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
