Cool, but it's kind of late now. With the age of the Internet, I can easily get high-quality episodes in very little time. What an age we live in.

they did a horrible job of converting it from widescreen the 6:9 there are shots in the lotus bit where half the car was cut of and the rest was sky.
as was said above, the captures are excellent so this isnt a big deal to have it in the US. Plus the caps dont have commercials.
you can get the torrents off mininova.org since the other site shut down.

I am excited that I can watch it on my actual TV. However some of these seem to be ones I have seen and such but still very cool and I hope they continue to run them here!!
