Personally, I'm voting for Quite Good. I wonder if the producers thought that the original Japanese wasn't good enough to make sales in America.

Not sure about "not good enough," but they probably were just sick of doing boring translations. Knowing Greg Ayres, I think they were going for a more unique English experience rather than the same-old, same-old. Enough of the original storyline still exists that it's still the same show even if it feels more like a regular American cartoon.
That being said, I'm glad you like it! I quite enjoyed watching it my first time. That little brother never gets old... xD

True that. And yeah, it seemed like the product of boredom to me, too.
What would make this show less boring? Um um LESBIANS
But yeah, I'd call this a pretty inspired choice. =D

I agree with Jen. The little brother is hilarious! And who can argue with "have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?" I love it when we actually produce something funny from anime. It just reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series (except that this anime is naturally not abridged.) I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Same here. Is it Thursday yet?
I think my tales of "pretend a big black man is chasing you" have convinced Caitlin that she should FINALLY JOIN US
so hopefully we will have a happy new friend to welcome to the next meetin' =D
And it is all the fault of Ghost Stories! Thank you, Ghost Stories.

Okay, so. I'm kind of in love with this show. I have to admit, I hadn't seen past episode 6 prior to purchasing and scheduling this show. BUT. It was the best choice I ever made xD
I'd just like to comment on the quick wit of the show. Some of the humor may be a bit dated ('specially Barbra Streisand... Seriously?! Who cares about her, ever?), but the timing is just... it's grand. I personally curse my art class for making me have to make a slide show while I should have been paying more attention to anime.
Also, I love doing the retarded brother!laugh on Middle Path. SEKUSHII-SEKUSHIIIIIII!

I'm still totally in love with the rabbit girl. Her switch from nice girl to evil, scary voice-demon was hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilarious! "Come into my arms, little one....I said JUMP!!" >:0
