    Soul eater at 18+ is a bit high but Escaflowne at that, at least the 1st 2 episodes weren't that bad.

    For anyone that was at the lecture, what was it like? I heard Jimmy M on Radio 1 a few mornings back and i would've loved to hear more about animation from him (the interview was mostly about his life) but didn't get up there to hear it. Might get up there tomorrow for a bit but i assume he's not just floating around talking to people but i'd still like to know if it was interesting.

    Thanks.

    And i agree, 18+ for Soul Eater seems way too high. I've only seen the dub, but the sub can't be that different, can it?
