<\/center>\nWhen it comes to bringing the goods, as it were, I knew that Sgt. Frog wouldn’t disappoint, and indeed it didn’t disappoint in not disappointing – we have our first Mikan Box before we reach the halfway point of the first episode, and, indeed, there’s a second in the very same scene.<\/p>\n
Funimations release of Sgt. Frog has been a little controversial, at least as far as the shows dub goes – it kind of eschews such silly concepts as consistent characterisation and faithfulness to the original work in order to cram some kind of joke into every single line of dialogue<\/i>, be it toilet humour or an extended reference to The Dark Knight<\/i>. It’s pretty tone changing.<\/p>\n
This probably won’t do much for my nerd credentials, but it’s not like I can particularly blame them – I presume that they were trying to sell this to some TV network or other, but much of Sgt. Frog is surprisingly dry for something that’s supposed to be a comedy. About one in every ten stories (of which there are two an episode) is actually funny in the original work.<\/p>\n
The subs are accurate, though ^^;<\/p>\n
