Even when I started heavily collecting anime in the early 90's there were almost always two versions on video, the dubbed version and the subtitled version, you just got the one you wanted, not having a subtitled verson available was pretty rare. Anime has always been ahead oo the curve in this. Unlike foriegn movies anime has a fairly wide acceptance in America (anime makes as much money in America as it does in Japan now), the dubbed versions are getting better as the voice acting talent involved gets better and companies are willing to put some money into getting the dub right. Early anime dubs were terrible, some were so off they completly changed the meaning of what was going on, but new dubs are much better and some are very good. Not being a purist I tend to go with the dub because it's easier to watch that way. The great thing about DVD is that you can watch the Dub and the subtitled versions without having to buy it twice.</blockquote>
