The story of the french military is much more tragic than anyone realizes.
(I also keep this story handy for when a Creationist insists that microevolution doesn't apply to humans.)

Ask any historian and they'll tell you that...up until recently...the French used to be Badasses. USED TO BE. Note: Past Tense.
They spent most of history being big, brave billy badasses charging around on big goddamned horses with big goddamned swords and fucking up everyones day; all the while yelling "Ha HAWN! We are Fraaanch, an we weeil Nevair Surrendairrrr!"
All of European history is an endless clash between the descendants of Charlemagne on one side of the Rhine and the spawn of sadomasochistic vikings on fly agaric on the other side.
Flash forward to the early 20th century. Now focus on World War I.
All those Huns were acting up again and it was time for The Fraaanch ("Ha HAWN!") to give then all a good -- how you say? -- a Thrashing.
So all the big, brave strapping french "Jocks" put on their helmets; and all the scrawny, asthmatic pencilnecked french "Nerds" Stayed Home and hid in their chateaux.
Soon, the Fraaanch ("Ha HAWN!") arrived at the Battle of The Somme; and they saw a battlefield filled with minefields, machine gun nests and mustard gas and did what they always did: Yell "Ha HAWN! We are Fraaanch, an we weeil Nevair Surrendairrrr!" and charged in like suicidal lemmings on angel dust...and got fucking massacred. And then they did it again. And Again. AND AGAIN!
Until the Big, Brave "Jock" allele was eradicated from the French genepool; and all that was left was the scrawny, asthmatic pencilnecked french "Nerds".
Let me show you how bad it got.
This, ladies and gentleamericans, is Jean Paul Sartre. THIS WAS ALL THE FRENCH GIRLS COULD HAVE SEX WITH. THIS...THING...GOT LAID! THAT IS HOW BAD IT GOT.
So....NOW you know WHY The French are NOW a bunch of flaccid, half-gay snail-eating goobers without a single cojone between them.
Because all the butch manly men were all eradicated at the Somme.
Daily reminder that the person who coined the term "feminism" was a French dude named Charles Fourier. Without him, feminism wouldn't be the driving cause of ending free speech (and the patriarchy).
Oh my lord don't even get me started on this
In Poland we had a trainwreck of a translation that was an overdub of the French version. Fuck you France once again.

I feel your pain, man. During the late '90s\early 2000s, us Hungarians got most of our Animu imported from AB Groupe of France as well. I also love how many times they announce the title of the show in this "song", like they think the kids watching it are so stupid they'd get confused as to what show they're watching otherwise.
Oh my God, I remember that! Back when I was convinced KoRn, Slipknot and Linkin Park were like the bestest bands ever I used to think this intro was awesome. Okay, I still think the first guitar riff is pretty cool. If you want to listen to some more embarassing French ear rape though, check out the French opening of Sailor Moon as well, it actually manages to make Justin Bieber songs sound like Leonard Cohen tier masterpieces by comparison.
