This is true, tho I like Sailor Moon because it's a good show to relax to-
I don't have to pay attention to it at all, and I can follow along just
fine! LoGH, OTOH, requires me to pay attention. It's a show where it's easy
to miss something if you don't watch carefully. This is a good thing, but
occasionally I need a break to relax my brain.  ^_^

I just had a though. If people are leery about lending out their LDs, how
about recording an episode on an MD or casette tape? Since the dialogue is
the main thing that needs to be translated, this would offer an inexpensive
way to work on it.

Just a thought.
