@GaryPotter:
Besides Sonic, I find most of the 4Kids actors to be quite a bit better than the old people. Especially Amy and Eggman. Honestly, Lisa Ortiz and Mike Pollack are far too good for those guys.
The Sonic SatAm cast consisted of Charlie Adler, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, Cree Summer, Christine Cavanaugh, and Kath Soucie. Wiki-search ANY of those people and you'll realize the true talent power of this group of people, as they've done voice work for hundreds of shows, movies, and video games. And then there was Jaleel White, who surprised everyone with making Sonic sound unique all to his own. So no matter how good Mike Pollack is, and I'll admit that he's rather good, no one beats Jim Cummings for Eggman. Absolutely no one.
Oh, and one last Sonic-related thing – my most prized issue in my comic collection is a copy of Sonic #50 signed by Pat Spaziante (the man responsible for drawing dozens of awesome Sonic covers) and Ken Penders, who both drew and inked that cover.
@dirt:
I rememeber when my mom bought my little sister the full series of Escaflowne.
$200 for what …?
Twenty-six episodes.
Ouch. I paid $50 for my set, but it was a bootleg copy since the only English release you could legally purchase cost around that price. Now they've re-released it and you can get it for about $40 at Best Buy, I think.
So anyway, there's a new OP tomorrow night, and my new high-definition cable box doesn't have it's DVR activated, and I"m trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to tape the show.
