As Momo would say, "The dub will be hilarious, but in what way?"

Quick question for AD fans: is the anime significantly different from the manga or can you get the general gist of the series from either one?

They are pretty similar for the most part. Go for the manga first tho YA.

Edit: you too will be screaming GAME BREAKING HOME RUN at your office!

The comic doesn't have to worry about things like characters in the backgrounds or timing on odd facial expressions so the tv show handles these in sometimes strange ways. For example, when 2 characters are being highlighted, in the comic the surrounding classmates simply wouldn't be drawn. In the show oftetimes they'll be drawn like paper cutouts.

It's a good interpretation of the comic; they had to add some stuff to pad for time, but it's all good.

I really like the way the anime handles the jokes. for example: when chiyo and osaka are "playing volleyball" (more like hitting each other with a volleyball), it only uses 2 panels of comic. whereas in the anime, they REALLY drag out the joke, but it makes it SO much funnier.

Yeah the tv show has a lot more leeway to drag out the jokes like that. Overall I've heard some people complain about the show, but I think it's a great adaption. Considering it's a 4 panel comic, they really did a good job of stringing it into coherant episodes.

EDIT: MELON BREAD!!!!

Easy answer, get both! You need the manga for travel, and the anime can be watched at home!

And yes, Juan, I too shout Game BReaking Home Run at Work...Maybe thats why I've been sent down to the Industrial Chimney sweep department. Well Crikey...

I just read the mangas! So I'm posting in this thread rather starting a new one... could someone explain the "Van Damme/Damn Van" joke to me?

I mean, I get the joke, but is it the same joke used in the Japanese version? (it confuses how they turned "Van Damme" into "Damn Van")

HOORAY! I gots Photoshop back!

This is actualy the one big misstep ADV did in Volume 2, which was an otherwise good translation job.

Basicily the orginal joke used Bruce Lee instead of Van Damme, and instead of being a Van it was set up around Three Bruce IIRC (The anime had the joke as is...). And the jokes based on the Japanese naming system, where the family name comes first...

I got that one because I knew the whole family name / personal name order in Japanese. The one I don't get at all is 'Read between the lines' where people keep calling out to Yomi. I have no idea what the point is to it. Could be because Yomi is the only character I don't like.

The entire point of the story was to establish her name.

.... why? Maybe she hadn't been given a name at that point, but she had been in the comic for quite some time already. It seems a bit stupid to me. But I'm sure it's not easy coming up with ideas for a daily strip.

No, that's not quite it. Bruce Lee is mentioned, and his name is pronounced "buruusu rii". Osaka hears this as "buruu surii" (Blue Three) and wonders who Blue Four, Five and Six are, and which one Jackie Chan is (or something to that effect).

AH! Now that makes sense (it also explains the sort of random inclusion of Jackie Chan in the English version)

This picture is unusally orange

You mean it's not a reference to Chodenshi Bioman? Red One, Green Two, Blue Three, Yellow Four, Pink Five? :P *runs away*
