FFXIII English-language trailer

…Oh. I SEE WHUT U DID THAR with the accents. But tbh most of the voice acting just made me laugh. Especially since everyone sounded husky as fuck. Sazh I understand since JP-language Sazh had a husky voice too, to give the impression of old age through voice. But everyone? Come on. This is like those old dubbed anime where everyone and their mothers sounded like they’d been sipping too much spicy juice. I’m sorry but every time I listen to a dub with an overabundance of hoarseness, I just think they don’t know what they’re doing.

VAs should be able to act without feeling like they have to cover up their voices through a filter of imposed hoarseness. Just sayin’

Like the song, don’t like how it was implemented. Then again, I wasn’t feeling Kimi Ga Iruka on the JP version of this trailer either, so I guess it balances out.

ETA: …Speaking of FF13, it took me 56789 tries to beat Odin and after hitting on a method that worked, I’ve been calling Hope “Sharkbait.” :DDD And then I started using it as a term for characters whose only function was to stay alive while the rest of the party wailed on the enemy. |D There’s even an optima for that very purpose. pfff

rp

There’s this RP I’ve been looking at, have been looking at for a while, actually, and it sounds amazing and shiny and amazing, but I just. don’t want to play there. |||OTL idek guys, I’ve poked around its comms a lot, I just don’t feel excited enough about it to even consider playing there. :( Which is a shame really; I want it to thrive but can’t actually like. do anything to help it survive its first do-or-die months. :(

eljay

I haven’t updated my eljay in liek, a month. :’( I actually have a backlog of icons to post, too! I’m just. waiting for myself to finish this fic but I keep putting it off and OHSNAEP IT’S BEEN THREE WEEKS. :’(

“nii-san” =/= “brother”

Using onii-chan/onii-san/onii-sama/nii-san/aniki/ani is not “random-ass fangirl Japanese.” “Brother” is not an acceptable substitute. Get your head out of your fucking ethnocentric ass.

~strangles something~

Where I live, car alarms go off every 2 minutes.

…3, 2, 1… ~car alarm goes off~

ASDFGHJKL;

Tetsuya Nomura

This is Sion.

This is Xion.

…

. . . THE WORLD (of Nomura) MAKES SENSE NOW. *_*

Araki Hirofumi

I haven’t seen him in a while. Waaaaaah, I miss his blog. /)A(\

…He’s so silly. Pffffff

…Guys this is just silly. 8DDD;

…Maybe I have the wrong measure of him in this one thing. ~headtilt~

It looks like he’s wearing a dress!

Kuchuu Buranko 11

Aww, Yuta. :<♥

I keep wondering if that canary is meant to be “children” or just “other people”. ._. Other people, I think.

…

Woke up at 1. In the morning.

|||OTL

In other news, I’ve had (have?) 34567 fics to work on, but I have just been lazy for the past few weeks. asdfghjkl;

oh for the love of–

I’ve just been reading this thread about Japanese->English romanizations, and the subject of Yagami Light came up…

…Yeah, I’m sure you can imagine. :|

There’s all this balh blah blah about how “Light” or “Raito” or “Write” is the correct spelling, and guys. There are these things called puns. Japanese authors do it on purpose. English is not the only godsdamn language in the fucking universe that engages in wordplay.

;_;

…Blade is really complicated to explain. ._.|||

:(

DAMMIT I ONLY HAVE FOUR CLASSES AGAIN

oh, internet. -_-

OMG I USE TILDES ALL THE FUCKING TIME ON ELJAY I MUST BE A WANKING TROLL

ff13

I can’t stop thinking of Jihl as anything but “Boobs Lady.” :|

Morimoto Ryoji

~spits out tea~ He was in Climax Deka?!

…He is!! In a trenchcoat and everything! ~dies~

@Mikami Ryo: either he gets something sprayed in his throat, or he can naturally produce huskiness in his voice when he talks, because Ryo’s defining difference from Hajime (aside from the 8DDDD) is that his voice is consistently huskier. ._. …Or at least in 29. In 30, it disappears. ._.

…

. . . @Blade 29: …is that piano man from Den-O? o_o
