Are you sure? You're sure NO dubbing company is THIS bad? So all those people in DBZ really were going to the alternate dimension? By getting pummeled? And I wasn't aware that "valley girl" was a common Japanese stereotype, that their seiyuu do such a good job at it.

But I suppose the final nail in this coffin (so to speak) would be the two words "Fox" and "Escaflowne".
