Do any anime DVDs have "SUB" and "DUB" as different audio tracks? I'd like to watch both ways, but don't want to have to get 2 versions.
Also, can someone recommend an adult oriented anime? (not pornographic but something not geared for kids or teens) I like a lot of fighting, martial arts, blood and guts (some nudity is o.k., I'm not a perv, but I'm not a prude) and a really good story.
Thanks.

Yes, most anime DVDs released in the USA have both English and Japanese soundtrack, and optional English subtitles. You can watch subtitled (Japanese soundtrack + subtitles on), or dubbed (English soundtrack + subtitles off), or various other combinations.
Most DVD sellers (I'm somewhat partial to DVD Pacific) will tell you which language soundtracks are on the DVD before you buy.
There are a few exceptions. The ones I'm aware of are either so heavily edited in the dub (Cardcaptor Sakura / Cardcaptors) that a single video wouldn't work with the two soundtracks, or else aimed at little kids (Pokemon) who it is assumed would never use the Japanese soundtrack.
As for non-kid-oriented material, and a lot of fighting, you might consider Tenjou Tenge or Ikki Tousen (martial-arts high school series), though they don't have too much blood. They have more action than a lot of the standard "fighting" anime (Dragonball comes to mind), which involve too much grunting and posing for my tastes.
Ninja Scroll has a boatload of gore if that's what you are after, but it is only one movie.
I haven't seen Elfen Lied myself, but it is highly regarded and pretty gory from what I've read.
Cartoon Network just started showing Blood+ in their late-night "Adult Swim" lineup, and it seems to have no shortage of violence and blood.

import anime dvds are anime purely in eastern language and it plenty extra inexpensive than the companion and babies anime dvds. additionally they're area unfastened. companion and babies anime dvds are anime in english and each so often switches to eastern language and it plenty extra costly than the import ones.

Yes, they usually have that option for DVD.
