This is how I think of this series:
Beginning: Okay
Middle Arcs: Fun and Interesting
Ending: Okay

Basically, when it wasn't taking itself seriously it was above average entertainment.
I also didn't like Luci playing Morte. Not very spirited.

The same can't be said for Toppy! In both dubs, he's just great.

I'm kinda surprised FUNi hasn't put the rest of the dub up yet since the DVDs came out a while ago. For other shows they practically streamed their entire dub at the time as their DVD release.

They've been cutting back on that lately, preferring to keep the dubs as a premium item you only get from paid services and DVD.

I had a feeling they were moving in a direction like that, they've started removing chunks of One Piece (dub and sub) around their DVD releases and I'm thinking they'll begin doing the same when they start releasing their former simulcasts of other shows on DVD.

I saw the first two eps, and I am enjoying it so far. A really fun show.

Have to agree. The middle part makes the show much better than it seemed at first.

Much to my dismay. I get that they need to hold something back as incentive for purchase, and streams arose as a means of combating fansubs so that is obviously the intended market, but it makes it hard for someone who prefers dubs to fully utilize streaming options when only a sample is offered.
