Totally agreed, what a stupid decision.

Also, Michelle Ruff as Yuki.

When I think Michelle Ruff, Fujiko Mine comes to mind.....Yuki =/= Fujiko

Not to mention she totally raped Rukia in Bleach's horrid dub.

JYB sucks balls, undeniable fact.

He did a decent Kaneda, but I find every other role he's taken on to be very annoying.

On a related note, he's also part of the monstrous Haruhi dub, voicing Itsuki of all characters.....

Well they already showed Eureka 7.

Also, wouldn't you rather watch shows they have not already shown on AS.

Like bleach they showed it on Saturdays but now they are showing them during the week. i see why can't they do the same.

Also, wouldn't you rather watch shows they have not already shown on AS.

they save their new stuff on Saturdays.

1. Your five favorite animes and a sentence or two about each of them.

Hellsing OVAS: Pretty much all I need in a anime OVA. Cool story, lot`s of violence and action, great characters and special graphic details.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: I first saw it as a kid, at the time I didn`t quite like it, and I thought it was depressive. I still believe it is depressive, but I can appreciate more of it. Love it.

Kite: Pure Bliss.

Mezzo Forte: Pure Bliss part 2.

Saint Seiya: Never stopped loving it.

2. What got you into anime?

A Bulgarian dude who was also a nazi, a woman hater, a homophobe and really obsessed with pedophilia. He also introduced me into Hentai. And all sorts of dark evil porn.

He is back to the cave he came from, aka Bulgaria.

3. What kinds of anime do you dislike?

Slow anime, love/dating anime.

I can live with that :P

You should probably wait for the higher authorities to come in.
It is really up to them.

Also, I do not know if you still need to pick a character (not chosen yet) from an anime that you like to represent you.

Here is a list of already taken characters.

You mean people actually watch things based on the voice actors in them?

I could understand if the voice actors were like big Hollywood actors (well not really, but I get the idea), but with people whose primary job is voice acting, it seems kinda strange.

I'd watch an anime based on the director or possibly writer if I know they're good, but the voice actors seem like much less of a big deal.

Wrong.

You need good voice actors, to portray the needed emotion for a specific scene, etc...

They need to be able to cry, fake emotions, etc... it`s not that easy. Besides, you get used to the voice, and almost fell in love with it.

That happened with the voice actor who did the voice for Homer in Mexico, he asked for a bigger pay check, and they fired him.

The new guy brought on so many anger male and letters, that the producers had no idea what to do. Some people even did a manifestation in order for the old dude to come back...

They decided to keep the new guy.

Just an example. Same things happened to me when I saw the hellsing OVAS, I was fairly happy to see that the old voices were back.

VOICES ARE IMPORTANT !!!

This reminds me of the English dub of Ranma. Halfway through the series he sounded like inuyasha. i thought it was an improvement.

Please clarify because that didn't go through. You thought Richard Cox's voice was better?

At 6/14/07 12:32 AM, NeoSoviet wrote: VOICES ARE IMPORTANT !!!

I didn't mean the voices aren't important, I meant I wouldn't watch an anime based on the voice actors.

If I find an anime with the voice actor who did a character I liked, I'm not gonna want to see that anime based on that fact.

It's not as if only the big name voice actors are good at voice acting.

And when somebody hires a voice actor based on the fact that s/he is famous, it could be worse.

That's what I was trying to convey, not that the voices of characters are unimportant.

It's pretty much the same with movies; I'm not gonna go see a movie because an actor I like is in it, I'd go to see it because I think/hear it's good.

Besides, I tend to watch the anime's in Japanese as much as I can, with the exception of Cowboy Bebop.

Damn straight! I only care about voice acting when it really screws up a character, like Rock Lee. Besides that it is usually something I don't pay special attention to.

I agree with you somewhat, but sometimes having a bad voice actor ruins the anime. I mean voice acting isn't my prime factor in deciding weather or not to watch an anime, but when they have really annoying voice actors, as you all know some anime's do, it can turn you off from watching the show!

At 6/14/07 12:55 AM, Kuro wrote: It's not as if only the big name voice actors are good at voice acting.

I disagree, because character voices 'mature' over time and experience, therefore making the fact that 'veteran' voice actors have deserved their fame for the number of roles they have done, especially more 'delicate' roles which require more attention to detail.

The fame of voice actors like Takehito Koyasu, Hikaru Midorikawa, Nobuyuki Hiyama, Megumi Hayashibara, Koji Ishi, Akira Ishida, Aiko Otsuka and Tomokazu Seki are not just for show.

And when somebody hires a voice actor based on the fact that s/he is famous, it could be worse.

But surely, they became famous for good reasons, especially with the standards in Japan you know.

At 6/14/07 12:32 AM, NeoSoviet wrote: You need good voice actors, to portray the needed emotion for a specific scene, etc...

Or simply roles that cannot be done by another person. I cannot imagine Shishioh Guy (20s) or Domon Kasshu (20s) being portrayed by anyone else.

I doubt that Japan would hire horrible voice actors unless they are trying to portray it intentionally for one reason or another.

Unless they are implying an annoying character like Keita Aono (First half) from Betterman (Which Kappei Yamaguchi (who did roles like L and Ranma Saotome) did a good job with, by the way) anyway.

Voice actors are important, and can may well be a critical factor which can make or break a series, but it would be foolish to assume that nothing else matters as all factors that make up an animated series are equally important.

Yes, some folks are that fucking pathetic.

I tend to seek out writers, since I value a good plot over high production values or voice-acting.

Weren't we discussing the English voices for Haruhi, with it not being Japanese actors and all?

Either way, I was meaning that they could be cast because they're famous, not because they're good for the part.
