Okay, I expect Aaron Dismuke from now on to start saying stuff in his Reinhard voice in future conventions and ending his panels with "Prosit!" Is that too much to ask?

I, uh, I don't represent Mr. Dismuke, you'll have to take it up with him.

I'd totally join in were I there and he did, though.

HOw long do you sleep?

As long as I need. Usually.

It'd be hilarious if Vic was cast as one of Reinhard's subordinates, preferably Mittermeyer, if only to imagine the elder Elric be subservient to the younger Elric.

Don't waste Reinhard's precious subordinates' voices. Let him be Castrop.

You feel everyone in the DNT dub is miscast or just a few?

5 months ago

Yang's voice has yet to grow on me. And I hate the way they pronounce certain names. I do like Reinhard's and Kircheis' voices (though this is the third pronunciation of "Kircheis" I've heard). Everybody else is just kind of "eh". It's a tolerable dub, not a great one, thus far.

I really wish the music in DNT will inevitably get re-recorded for the video releases. Doesn't sound right. And no, I'm not comparing it to the classical music used in the OVAs.

What's wrong with it? I mean, it's not spectacular, but it mostly does the job.

How bad is Sentai compared to ADV?

5 months ago

Sentai's catalog is mostly a joke. ADV at least tried.

Where will DNT stand at the end of this season? Will it be forgotten by next year even with the movies coming?

5 months ago

I think that, at least over here, it'll be remembered because it's a more affordable version of LoGH and more accessible since it's dubbed.

Why do you still use ask.fm? Use Curiouscat instead.

What does it matter? Both are for the same thing.

Is Wikipedia a help or not?

8 months ago

It's good for a start, but you'll want to find a few more resources if you're seriously doing some kind of serious study, paper, or debate. Generally the people willing to go through the trouble of doing a Wikipedia page are, at the very least, well-intentioned.

If your previous gf/bf wanted to get back together with you and have a fresh start would you?

What's the story of Legend of the Galactic Heroes like? Is it complex, or is it easy to follow?

Kind of... both? Read this primer!

Do you think the English dubs for anime produced today are generally better than the ones produced 10-20 years ago?

over 1 year ago

Generally, yes, absolutely. But the best ones are rarely as good as the best ones in the past.

Bird Brain, it's me Doggie. Who's your favorite Robot Master (Megaman/Rockman series)?

Great Lakes Phantasy

Skull Man, naturally. But as for Mavericks, obviously Chill Penguin.

Is sleeping a social event?

Why don't you like Wes Anderson films?

over 1 year ago

They're basically hipster indie films, except done for the mainstream. I understand why they're SUPPOSED to be good. I can even understand certain aspects of the storytelling. But the composition feels so self-indulgent and smarmy, moreso than even Tarantino (who accentuates his self-indulgence with fun self-awareness). And more than anything, THEY AREN'T FUNNY. At all.

Do you ever miss the Kanzenshuu forums?

On the occasions I do, I go and look at it and remember how horrible they are.

Favorite voice actor in the Lupin cast?

Yasuo Yamada

Favorite actors?

over 1 year ago

Basically the casts of The Shawshank Redemption and Glengarry Glen Ross. Between those two casts, can you find anyone who isn't a topnotch actor? You got Robbins, Freeman, Spacy, Brown, Arkin, Lemmon, Pacino, Gunton, Pryce, Whitmore, Baldwin... okay, that's a total sausage fest, but you get my point.
