Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

One thing I would like to point out (yea I know wiki is not 100% accurate).

Even though this show is dubbed in English its still clearly based upon the japenese manzi comedy style and their pop culture. Its pretty evident from just watching a few episodes so far. This is just a translation from one language to another for all English audiences.

If you are saying that they just merely translated the show with the dub, then I'd have to disagree. After viewing the first episode in Japanese then rewatching it in English, they changed a LOT of things and even added more dialog in, such as most of the things the announcer says is in the English version only as the announcer doesn't speak much at all in the Japanese version. While the comparison was with only one episode, I think that it is safe to assume that they did similar to all the episode given the shear amount of English puns in the english version and how much they changed the dialog in the first episode.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I think that this show is amazing, English and Japanese XD
(Although the constant puns in the English version did get quite tiring after a while though...)
I can't wait for more episodes to be subbed (however many years that will take...)

Of course its not going to be a perfect translation thats a given. There will always be a discrepancy between languages when translating and with having to rewrite some of the jokes/script to fit the with English language. I'm saying its not just a translation for an American audience, its for all English audiences.

And this show is perfect for you need some absurdly amusing antics. ^_^

I agree, I am only watching it in english, however... there is only one thing I can say I love about this, and thats the absurd spastic nature (amusing tactics as you call it) of the anime, along with the random costumes people randomly are wearing throughout it...

and it's funny cause some characters specifically say exactly what you are thinking especially Beauty screaming at Bo about whatever the hell he happened to just do that made no sense whatsoever.

You've just got to love shows that break the fourth wall :p

from what everyone is saying though, i may start watching it in subbed, i usually do, but for some reason I thought this would be better in english, but i guess I was wrong

If you like the dub enjoy the dub. =)

Finding it subbed is nearly impossible.

As Pidj says, it's nearly impossible to find it subbed. One groups subbed the first six episodes a few years back, but got a C&D and their releases are next to impossible to find. Another group started subbing it about a month ago, but they only released the first episode since then. The manga however has a good 68 chapters translated with more being released in case you're interested you're interested.

The only fault I found with the dub is their overuse of puns, other than that I thought it added to the show such as with the announcer and better voice actors imo. Although I've only seen one episode of the sub which isn't much to compare with.
