- Now what I really wanted to see was Neo-Tokyo
- getting blown up at least five more times. What
- were they thinking?
-
- If you liked the dubbing for Akira, check out the
- Canadian bootleg for Dirty Pair. They didn't have
- a script to work from so they made up a plot. Very
- funny stuff.
-
- During one of the opening credits they played
- the theme song from "Laverne and Shirley," which
- worked out just perfect.
