Why does everyone make such a big deal out of 
Esca? It's already been subtitled in the US, so 
what's the big deal? I can see why it would suck 
for kids to be all into it, and cel prices (which 
are already high) will go up, but c'mon...Bandai 
is in charge, so it'll be at least as good as 
Gundam Wing. I'm more worried about the prospect 
of Detective Conan being put on TV, since A) not 
much has been fansubbed B) someone is brutally 
murdered in almost every ep and C) there won't be 
much of a chance of a subbed or at least uncut 
version available on video if Fox alone is 
involved in the dubbing. Not that people care as 
much about Meitantei Conan (oh, it's just one of 
the most popular anime in Japan).
