Erik's Favorite Things: Tokyo Underground

I've mentioned this series before in my "Top Eleven Openings From Anime" (which for some reason is having trouble loading the videos).  However, having finally tracked down where I can get the DVDs for dirt cheap, I figured I was due to give a bit more information about it.

Top Eleven: Openings From Anime

I've gone on before about theme songs in shows and how important they are.  Something I hadn't originally considered is how difficult it must also be for shows that are going to be transferred from one country to another.  Do you dub over the voices with new words?  Do you leave it as it is and just add subtitles?  Or do you simply have no words at all and let the words speak for themselves?

This became more apparent the more I thought about a lot of the programs I watched from Japan, and which ones had me hooked just by the theme song and which ones pretty much lost me right from the get-go.
