I've done some comparisons of the first few episodes - I ran the Japanese and English side by side and watched for differences. I won't go into details of the first episode because the editing was so radical, but here are the others: 2. Robot Circus When Tornado is destroyed in the 50,000 vo...

Does anyone know if he can still tell the difference between good and evil? In the manga and I think the 60s series he could, but not in the 80s series. It was one of his 7 special powers.

1. manga-style humor ('humour' for you mates down under) Don't forget Canada, UK, and all the other English-speaking countries ouside USA. ;) If you're going for cuteness, I think his behaviour makes up for this. There's a lot more emphasis on him learning like a child, as you&#...

I can't wait until the new series starts. All the kids of today who think Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh are so great are gonna be blown away by it.

I've seen the first couple of episodes and it really is outstanding.
