lack of broadband keeps me from seeing the newest and most popular stuff

Uh... how, exactly? The "newest and most popular stuff" is available for sale pretty much everywhere. The lag time between Japanese and US release is growing smaller every day. Sure, without broadband you miss out on the torrents, but there's still plenty of fresh, legal anime out there. Besides, if you download a fansub, voice-actor B-chan doesn't get paid! (TT_TT).

Netflix has an extensive library of anime. You should check it out.

"Pinocchio in Outer Space" and "Gulliver's Travels: Journey to the Moon" were Fred Ladd productions. He's a great guy, a real Holywood legend.

Heh, we do rent the “legal stuff” from Netflix. It lets me maintain my daughter’s anime addiciton too.

I had to buy both those old movies in order to satisfy my vague childhood memories of them and fill in some gaps. With “Gulliver” you can really see the “proto-anime” style whereas “Pinocchio” has more of a 50’s look. What’s not to love about a Martian turtle? ;-)

I have to be honest, I prefer subs to dubs. There’s nothing wrong with dubs and their accuracy is getting a LOT better (”Last Exile” comes to mind), so it’s becoming less of an issue. The Bleach dubs are pretty good, too.
