FLCL DVD Translations

[gonzo]

I was recently looking into buying a copy of the FLCL DVD's, and I was wondering if the translations were accurate to the Japanese. The whole Breast Groping mix up during the manga like sequences and so on, is all that still the same or is that changed to be more "localized?"

The only reason I ask is that I'm not gonna drop $60 for a non-original translation.

As I recall from the commentary on the dvds I own, Sync-Point made a huge effort to have the one of the directors involving in not only the translation, but also the auditions and recordings of the dub.

They chose relative unknowns just like they did for the Japanese. The subtitle track is also different from the dub script, if only so the dub would sync properly with the mouth animations.

Thank you. Sounds promising. I guess I'm going to buy them, and throw out my really crappy fan subs of it. Whoo!! I'm excited, how about you? lol
