lol, this is about the 3rd episode (B action movie one) when tetsuko *dies* and when nabeshin takes off the mask i noticed that of course tetsuko looked like julia from cowboy bebop, then the whole sequence was like bebop like when u can't hear what she's saying. however when i watched the dvd with the adv notes on, it didn't mention anything about cowboy bebop. soo is it really supposed to be like bebop or not? because it really seems like it is
oh and yeah excel saga was great  one of the funniest animes i ever seen

It's supposed to be a parody of one of Leiji Matsumoto's characters. Julia in CB just happens to look similar. I've only really seen stills of Matsumoto's work, but his style is very distinct.

Yup, it's a Matsumoto parody. If you've ever seen Captain Harlock, Queen Emeraldas or my favorite Galaxy Express 999, you would have recognized his style right away. (Wondered what the heck the train was doing there? It's a Galaxy Express reference.) The ADV notes should have mentioned Leiji Matsumoto; I'm pretty sure I remember reading it on my DVD.
And that whole mouth-moving-without-hearing-the-dialogue thing has been done a million times. It's supposed to be mega-dramatic, but it's overused (which is why it was in a parody  ).

There is ALOT of stuff that the ADV Notes either never mentioned, or the ADV guys never caught. |

Furthermore, I recall that in episode 23 (I believe), the Whitebase bridge officers-puuchuus were miss named. I'm not knocking the Vid notes as a whole, I found them very interesting and even learned a thing or two, but it does shake my confidence in them.
