but the show...

BLOWS, it's horrible, the animation stinks the plots are almost all made up and NOT from the manga

in my oppinion it is one of the worst manga -> Anime translations EVER, next the X movie and others of the ilk.

I have read the mangas from vol. 17 to the end, and even tough some things have small differences it is almost exact. The big difference in it is that it is not in the same order. Plus the oavs have excellent animation.

And one dub quote that was sure as hell not in the original:

That's from Slayers, is it not?

Nope. :p It's actually from the dub of the first Battle Athletess Daiundokai OAV. Right after they arrive at the University, there's a scene where they pan across the docking bay to show the size of the place. In the original, there's no dialogue at all, just an impressed silence. In the dub, they have Tanya saying the line above. It was a dialogue change that I saw no point to whatsoever.

Well for the humor of course. was it needed, no but did you find it funny. golden boy dubbed has some of the same small addin's to add to the humor and it worked out fine. i have a friend that hates all most anything dubbed but refuses to watch golden boy subbed anymore after hearing it in english.

Actually I didn't find it funn, just very out of place... it wasn't a humorous point in the original, it was an awed silence. Daiundokai, especially the OAVs, wasn't all humor, and at least I didn't think the change was appropriate. Oh, well. That's the beauty of DVDs, you can watch them in whatever language you like.
