   There are a number of interesting things here in the dub. Since the   
   DVD version is unedited, we are presented with a situation where a   
   'woman' is prancing around topless far more then you would expect from   
   a family oriented series. And not only topless but with intimate   
   detailing as well. Looking to SMU for details, the televised airing   
   did alot of cuts and frame zooming to eliminate any views of FE's   
   chest. They also turned Usui's assistant into Usui's brother to   
   explain why they would be so intimate with each other (Ewwww!).   
      
   Now for the good points. Immediately after the eyecatch, when the   
   design staff quits, FE starts speaking with a deeper, sultry voice   
   that is simply outstanding. If they would have used this voice all the   
   time, it would have made the dub FE character so much better and still   
   left him portrayed as a woman. That high-pitched, fingernails on a   
   chalkboard screech they use the rest of the time is just so very, very   
   horrible.   
      
   Also, in the playground scene between Serena and Usui, Linda   
   Ballantyne really did a fine job cajoling Usui into designing her a   
   wedding dress. It's one of the few times that I enjoyed the dub   
   presentation as much as I did the original version.   
      
   All in all, it was a very good dub given the changes that were   
   necessary.

   Some of the funniest TM entrances come from the SMSS season. Also, did   
   you notice the seal nipping at Fisheye's foot as he left the scene   
   (Don't eat me!!). ^_^   
      
      
      
   >Fish Eye's second episode.  TE 9, HE 2, FE 2.   
      
   It has only been two episodes, but already it seems that FE is focused   
   on developing a real (although deceitful) relationship with his   
   victims. He only turns on them when they spurn his 'love'.   
      
   As for our lesson on love topic in this episode, let's call it,   
   hmmmmm, love for one's vocation.
