Although, something that did suck about their subs was that they didn't credit the cool music they used in the explanations at the end of each episode.
They claimed it was something about not wanting to be stuck in a copyright suite. Technically though, that would get them in more trouble...
I assume u didnt watched Shinsen-Subs version. Im usually not a big fan of their translations, but this time they did an awesome job. Just download their version, they explained everything perfectly.
Ah, so that's what the manga was like. Well, in all honesty, I don't think I'm missing too much.
What I would like is some technical drawings (or at least more images) of the Centzon. It was never very clear in the anime what it looked like, as far as I remember.
