I assume the hypothetical meant "who do we get to animate it"....not "who do we get to animate it and do the voices". I would assume it would be done in English.Oh...and speaking of the anime snobs...yes, there are plenty of them out there. I've met quite a few. I don't like them because they give people like me a bad name too. Because I am a fan of anime as well. But in defense of some of their behavior, let me say this: you have to understand where they're coming from. They feel that the thing they enjoy is great. And they want to let other people in on it too. They don't want anything to spoil the impression someone new gets when they watch this thing they keep recommending. One of the things they're scared of, is you watching a badly dubbed show. And you walking back to them saying, "Dude, I don't know what you're talking about...that show was pretty lame".  Then now instead of having another fan to talk to about it and share in its joy, you got some guy who thinks its lame. Now, its the same with me. If I know the dub is good...I won't say anything. But if I know the dub is bad (like Giant Robo for instance)...I'd say, "you should probably watch it with the subtitles if you can...the dub is bad". There are many times I've seen an original and compared it to the dubbed and the meaning of important key dramatic lines are totally different. It hurts the film. I mean, what if there's a bad dub of "Lord of the Rings" in German and your German friend wants to watch it? And you're all like , "You gotta watch this, its awesome" . . . and he comes back and says, "Yah dude it sucks ...what's up with lines like 'Fire guy will not pass me'?"Also, about the whole "all anime sucks" notion. I know anime isn't for everyone...heck, even I don't like most of it. But there's some good stuff in there too. Its like any medium. Even movies from the U.S. have lots of stinkers too. How about fantasy books? How much of what's on the shelf is total crud? But there's this one series that is absolutely awesome, but you have a friend that won't read because he thinks all fantasy books suck. Its a shame really.Anyways, back on topic. I voted for a realistic/serious animation style. Whether it be like similiar to anime like "Magnetic Rose" (1st short story from "Memories") or Dreamworks style like "Sinbad". I'll vote for either of those styles.</blockquote>
