Really now. Why guys??? Why mess up a completely good anime. Im not a die hard fan of it, but it did catch my interest, and after watching tokyopops take on it, i was, to say the least, disguisted. I mean, whats so hard about keeping things original? Its an anime, american audiences know anime as a japanese cartoon, so why try to americanize it. I mean, its not like overseas companies try to take the simpsons and give them names like Homerson Simpsones or whatever, so why do what your doing? Slight name changes would be fine for literally purposes, but i mean hawk? kt? tak?

And why change the storyline like that, and why do anything really. What im saying is keep initial the same as it is in the original japanese manga. Dont change anything, i know as a fact that there are alot of enraged fans out there that dont like it.

Now for anyone else here, dont start bitching like "Oh, just a stupid noob fanboy, ill yell at him and make myself look big and bad". Im not gonna check this post again, in fact, if a mod sees this, please deleate my account. I just wanted to express my dislike for the changes that tokyopop has done to the initial d series.
