| Fudce | eep |
| JLS | Gundam 00 is a shoo-in for BEUSA. |
| JLS | I'm hoping it'll be more like the original Mobile Suit Gundam and 08th MS Team -- that way I could enjoy it more. ^_^ |
| JLS | Atleast I'm fairly sure we won't get another SEED. :) |
| * Fudce enjoyed SEED | |
| * PioneerB liked SEED | |
| Fudce | I don't get why everybody seems so negative about Gundam Seed |
| PioneerB | SEED was berry similar to the original Gundam series |
| Fudce | I've never seen the original gundam series |
| JLS | In the Gundam franchise, Fukuda was highly unliked for him putting Hisashi Hirai in charge of char designs. |
| Arcturus | I'm allergic to Gundam |
| Fudce | I enjoy it, I don't go gaga over it |
| Fudce | and I enjoy the model kits, but that's more to do with my enjoyment of modelling, and less to do with my liking of the franchise |
| PioneerB | The other thing is that SEED's main players are among the most popular of all anime characters in Japan |
| Fudce | oooh, GitS:SAC #24 is on tv |
| JLS | Because its the most recent. |
| JLS | I'd personally like to see Yoshiyuki Tomino direct another one. >_> |
| JLS | Kill'em All Tomino FTW. |
| JLS | Also the fact SEED failed was because Tomino hated Fukuda. |
| JLS | Hmm... if BVUSA released Gundam 00 in a high-def format, I'd buy it :( |
| Fudce | can you honestly say that Seed failed though? |
| JLS | Seed failed in the plot aspects. |
| Fudce | Seed introduced a whole new generation to gundam, and several new markets |
| PioneerB | Fudce: true |
| JLS | Actually, Wing did more than Seed. |
| PioneerB | but JLS is speaking from a US prespective |
| JLS | SEED isn't exactly as popular as say, Newtype USA makes it out to be. |
| JLS | or Newtype Japan even. |
| PioneerB | While it didn't really do much here, it was all the rage in Japan, and SEED Destiny was unfortunately overlooked by many because of it |
| PioneerB | I have it ON DEMAND up here and I understand why now. |
| Fudce | Anyway, enough about Gundam, and why Seed does, or doesn't suck... |
| JLS | Fukuda merely copied the original Gundam plot-wise. >_> |
| Fudce | new topic: why Laura Bailey rocks |
| JLS | I dunno, why? |
| JLS | ;x |
| PioneerB | Good evening BenP! |
| BenP | Evening |
| Fudce | Evening Ben |
| PioneerB | No, new topic: there were rumblings on the AoD BBS that Kadokawa is putting Lucky Star on the license market |
| JLS | Kinda old news. |
| Fudce | we mentioned it last week |
| PioneerB | ...then what is Nozomi up to? They have 2 new licenses they're being vacuum tight about |
| JLS | One will make heads explode. :P |
| Fudce | I'd guess that they have two new licences that they're being vacuum tight about |
| Fudce | and that one will make heads explode |
| JLS | Heads exploding could be anything. |
| JLS | Monster, To Heart 2 or whatever... |
| JLS | Monster is a wet dream, so >_> |
| JLS | I'm patiently waiting for ADV to announce the licenses for the 4 Evangelion films. :> |
| JLS | Some Eva milkin'. |
| Fudce | evening geo |
| PioneerB | Good evening Duck |
| Geoduck | Good evening, ladies and germs |
| PioneerB | Welcome to your frying pan! |
| Arcturus | Wow Geoduck, it's almost as if we're in the same room! |
| * JLS wants some of that Studio Khara Evangelion goodness, yum yum. :) | |
| Fudce | I'm not a huge fan of seafood pB |
| PioneerB | Good Evening Otakuman. |
| Otakuman | Eveing all |
| Otakuman | Heya Bay |
| JLS | Yo Taku. |
| Geoduck | Arc: It's like living in the year 2000! |
| Otakuman | Heya JLS, Koji, Nijh, Geo,Fu |
| Fudce | hi Otaku |
| Otakuman | Heya Arc |
| Fudce | wait a second, you two ARE in the same room.. |
| Geoduck | Fudce: *muted trumpet noise* |
| Geoduck | Yes, a rare both-of-them-in-the-same-room chat! |
| PioneerB | Alright, Fudce. Don't give them ideas |
| Fudce | it's 2am, and I've had a few drinks, my hastiness can be overrated slightly |
| Geoduck | Don't worry, none of you people have ever given us any ideas of any kind. |
| Fudce | I rarely have any of my own, so... :D |
| Geoduck | VoxBox is ON |
| Geoduck | Welcome friends, to the show that frequently ends. |
| PioneerB | 9 pm in New York, 8 pm in Minneapolis, 6 pm in Fresno |
| Nijhazer | Greetings, folks |
| Geoduck | It ends as often as it starts, as a matter of fact. |
| Arcturus | Funny how that works out. |
| PioneerB | ...on DUBREVIEW, the leader in DUB FAN WANTS |
| Geoduck | I guess today we're "+1" on more starting than endings, but I think that will even out before the end of the night. |
| Geoduck | But enough drollery. |
| Nijhazer | Thank you all for being here... Tonight, we take our own lives. The cup in your hand holds the key to eternal existence. |
| Nijhazer | Drink up, my brothers; for we've got a theoretical plane to catch. |
| Fudce | wayhey! Planetes on telly |
| Otakuman | So Anyone saw Bleach 51 last night? |
| Fudce | hi Kiggy! |
| PioneerB | ...but we don't have as many people to begin with tonght...maybe because of the ADR Awards situation |
| PioneerB | Good evening Kiggy |
| Geoduck | Nijhazer: Hersh Applewhite? |
| Otakuman | Yo Kig |
| Kiggy | oi |
| Geoduck | So, a relatively small number of new dubs coming out this Tuesday... |
| PioneerB | AcTN programming rocked last night |
| Geoduck | We've got the final volume of Fate/Stay Night |
| PioneerB | get |
| Geoduck | Volume 4 of Kurau Phantom Memory |
| Geoduck | Volume 4 of Tsubasa Chronicles |
| Geoduck | And finally, volume 3 of the doomed release of When They Cry. |
| Geoduck | A series that I am glad I cancelled after a single volume. |
| Geoduck | Glad for a variety of reasons. |
| PioneerB | (for now, doomed) but, get |
| Fudce | When They Cry? When it's stalled |
| Otakuman | Yeah Watching Orimime was great |
| PioneerB | Kenpachi = win last night |
| Otakuman | Too bad the pink Brat was bugging the rest of the gang LOL |
| PioneerB | Hey, I liked the pink-haired brat! |
| Geoduck | Tsubasa is the only one I will be purchasing, from the rapidly decreasing number of series I am purchasing. |
| Arcturus | I saw the first volume of Kurau and didn't have any desire whatsoever to continue watching. |
| Fudce | Tsubasa is the only one of those I'm buying. I'm following Kurau, buy only via TV run |
| Kiggy | I finally saw Tsubasab. it is Love |
| Otakuman | Yeah she was goofin around Poor Orihime |
| Otakuman | Hehe |
| Arcturus | Tsubasa's good though. |
| Fudce | Carrie savage is awesome in Tsubasa |
| Geoduck | I was midly intrigued by the beginning of Kurau, but the second volume was terrible. Volume three was an improvement, but the series still isn't anything to write home about. |
| Otakuman | Yay |
| PioneerB | Blood+ was good last night |
| Arcturus | And I write home about a lot of series! |
| Geoduck | When They Cry is terrible, and Fate/Stay Night is terminally boring. |
| PioneerB | Good evening George! |
| Otakuman | Didnt watch Blood+ |
| Fudce | MrGMan! |
| Otakuman | Hiya JAWJ |
| Kiggy | heyo Jawj |
| MrManley | Yo, homies! Pull me a beer! |
| MrManley | or something... |
| * Kiggy opens a can of Schlitz's ffor George | |
| PioneerB | taku: One of the bad people defected |
| Nijhazer | Welcome aboard, JAWJ |
| MrManley | Heyo PimpNinjahazer |
| Otakuman | Bay: Oh? |
| PioneerB | Irene |
| MrManley | Schlitz? |
| MrManley | Dude.... |
| MrManley | PABST BLUE RIBBON! =D |
| PioneerB | She opened up to Kai, revealing the story sbout the [human experiments] and why they revolted |
| Kiggy | Well the Schlitz brand is now owned by Pabst ;D |
| PioneerB | Ooh, and there was new OP and ED! |
| Geoduck | A new OpEd: "Cheese is good." |
| Fudce | but what kind of cheese do you like? |
| PioneerB | American Cheddar for me. |
| Arcturus | Venezuelan Beaver Cheese, of course. |
| MrManley | Yeah, I quoted Blue Velvet.... it's all good |
| Fudce | good answer Arc |
| Arcturus | (In actuality, my favorite cheese is Emmenthaler) |
| PioneerB | Wisconsin Cheddar more precisely |
| MrManley | Dude... .the German joint near where I work makes this white wine swiss cheese soup that is to DIE for |
| Fudce | "American Cheddar"? |
| Geoduck | Parmeggiano Reggiano is the king of cheeses. |
| Arcturus | My parents are going to be living near a German joint pretty soon... |
| Geoduck | Arc: In Germany? |
| MrManley | I thought Fomunda Cheese was the king of cheeses |
| Arcturus | Geoduck: Well, yes. |
| PioneerB | Enough cheese moves, what has everyone watched last week? |
| Geoduck | Pumpkin Cheddar |
| MrManley | Heheheheh |
| Koji_M | Pump |
| Arcturus | Pumpkin Cheesecake, more like! |
| Fudce | Cheddar isn't Cheddar, unless it comes from the Cheddar Valley |
| Koji_M | Pa pa pa Pumpkin |
| MrManley | That cheesy little war story |
| Koji_M | La la la Pumpkin |
| Koji_M | Scissors!!!! Scissors! |
| Arcturus | I will be watching Pumpkin Scissors soon. |
| Geoduck | Fudce: Bah. We obey not the strictures of the EU in the USA. |
| Koji_M | I got the new edition of Onizuka |
| Fudce | lol, actually the EU ruled that Cheddar can't apply for name protection |
| PioneerB | hi Aqua! |
| Geoduck | Speaking of which, there is an ADV sale going on at TRSI for the next 3.75 hours. |
| Otakuman | Hiya aqua |
| Fudce | Evening Aqua |
| Kiggy | hey hey Aqua |
| aquastar831 | hey guys |
| Geoduck | Pumpkin Scissors and Air are my personal favorite recent new releases from that fine company. |
| Geoduck | If my recommendation means anything to anyone. |
| MrManley | Oh, it does... I like them tremendously |
| MrManley | =D |
| Fudce | Air is fantastic, and I'm looking to look at Pumpkin when it reaches these shores |
| PioneerB | To you, maybe |
| Koji_M | Geoduck, how did you feel about Monica Passley as Stecchin |
| * MrManley gives himself a homer trophy | |
| Fudce | I'm trying to support the local market much more recently |
| Arcturus | MrManley: D'oh! |
| Geoduck | I can't remember who that character is. I'm not great on the names. |
| Koji_M | the desk girl |
| Geoduck | MrManley: A homer sexual trophy? |
| Koji_M | She's the staff sergeant i think |
| MrManley | The one with the donut hanging off of his... um.... |
| Geoduck | Oh, her. I thought at first she was Ms. Karbowski, which I suppose is a good thing. |
| MrManley | Sergeant Major |
| Koji_M | okay |
| Fudce | nose? |
| Otakuman | Britnney & Monica sounds alike geo? |
| Koji_M | And how was Grelle as The Viscount |
| MrManley | Yes, nose... that was it |
| Geoduck | Otakuman: They have some vocal similarities. |
| Otakuman | I see |
| Fudce | When Brittney first appeared, she was talked about a lot in comparison to Monica |
| Koji_M | But Monica hasn't been in much |
| Koji_M | I mean a few additional voices in Kurau, Godannar and Chrono Crusade |
| Fudce | Oh, Monica Passley, sorry, was distracted by TV |
| Koji_M | and then she gets this role |
| Koji_M | I'm sweating this Tokyo Majin game, I'm very confident on two or three |
| Koji_M | So Ocean is doing Nanohan |
| Koji_M | Nanoha* |
| Fudce | They are? |
| Otakuman | I can see Jocelyn Lowen as Nanoha |
| Koji_M | Yes apparently |
| aquastar831 | really? |
| aquastar831 | how did you find out? |
| Koji_M | the subtitler is from vancouver |
| Koji_M | and Zero no Tsukaima is also being dubbed there |
| Geoduck | I can see "(Japanese actress)" as Nanoha. |
| Otakuman | Heh |
| Fudce | I'm very glad that it's Ocean doing it, that's my "best case scenario", for when/if it gets released |
| Otakuman | Tru dat Fu |
| aquastar831 | is the info posted somewhere? |
| Koji_M | one more week until new hellsing |
| Arcturus | We'll see if Nanoha actually gets released... |
| Otakuman | ANN aqua |
| Geoduck | Already received and viewed my Hellsing. |
| Koji_M | Geoduck how would you rate Doc and Tubalcain |
| Geoduck | The German characters are all quite cheesily delivered, which I think was the intention. |
| Geoduck | I am disappointed with the German prounciation, however. |
| Otakuman | Im sure other companies will rescue the rest of Geneon Titles |
| Geoduck | Unlike with Pumpkin Scissors, which has quite good German. |
| Koji_M | Gespenst Jager? |
| MrManley | You're welcome |
| Otakuman | Yeah wheres Tiffany Grant when ya need her? |
| Otakuman | LOL |
| Geoduck | Except for "Toeten Sie", which was mispronounced. |
| Koji_M | Manley I'm wondering how they were able to pronounce that word |
| MrManley | That one semester of German came in handy |
| aquastar831 | I see it now |
| Koji_M | lol |
| Geoduck | However, "Toeten Sie" is a bizarre phrase to use, anyway. |
| Koji_M | Would have loved to see the recording session for the german words |
| Geoduck | It can either be a gramatically correct way of saying "Kill"... but excessively polite. Like saying "Kill, sir." |
| MrManley | Um... there was no recording session for the German words |
| Koji_M | no no |
| MrManley | It was just part of the script |
| Geoduck | Or an ungrammatical way of saying "Kill them." |
| Koji_M | that's what i meant |
| Koji_M | I mean i would have loved to have seen the recording sessions when they did those lines |
| MrManley | Well, in German... it's like an imperative, isn't it? |
| Geoduck | But, that's the Japanese creators' fault and not the Americans. |
| Geoduck | MrManley: Yes, it's imperative, but weirdly formal. |
| Nijhazer | For those reading the chatlog, it was at this point in the discussion that I opened my own throat |
| MrManley | Like "kommen sie hier, bitte" |
| Koji_M | Manley, they do say Gespenst Jager? |
| Fudce | lol |
| MrManley | Yes they do, and they get it right |
| Geoduck | For a command like "Kill!" you'd usually use the familiar. "Toete!" |
| MrManley | Hmmm.... okay. Maybe it was indicative of the brainwashing |
| Geoduck | Yes, "Gespenst Jaeger" was admirably pronounced. It's a trickly couple of words. |
| Fudce | Don't do it Nijhazer, there is so much to live for, such as sausages, and cheese, and Brittney Karbowski |
| MrManley | It's not like we could change it, because it was crawling all over his body |
| Koji_M | lol |
| MrManley | That, and I think we have a German speaker among the staff... I think Charlie was pulling him in to help the actors when he could get ahold of him |
| Koji_M | Geoduck how did you find Kaytha and Adam as Alice and Oland? |
| Arcturus | Hey, maybe we'll see more German anime dubs when we go there next year! |
| Geoduck | But hey, I've seen far worse "Engrish" before. |
| Geoduck | I wonder if it was the same guy who coached Chris Patton in his German dialogue for Princess Tutu... that was some awesome pronounciation on his part. |
| MrManley | Could very well be |
| Otakuman | Oh yeah speakin of ADV TRSI Sale ends today |
| MrManley | We are a diverse group |
| Koji_M | and next week also has the finale of 009-1 |
| MrManley | =) |
| MrManley | 5 episodes, y'all |
| MrManley | Gotta love that |
| Koji_M | i only know Wendel Calvert is in the bonus episode |
| MrManley | 5 for the price of four... that's a good deal, yo |
| Geoduck | 009-1 has some nice retro visuals. |
| Koji_M | yes it does |
| MrManley | When I watched the first 3 minutes, I felt like I needed a bath because it was like watching a sexed-up episode of Astroboy |
| MrManley | Then, as usual, I started to enjoy it |
| Geoduck | And the scariest shoujo-ai scene OF ALL TIME. |
| MrManley | "Joo ah da best, dahlink!" |
| Otakuman | LOL |
| PioneerB | lol |
| MrManley | I love it when actors make that copy come to life... |
| MrManley | There were some lines in PS that were done so well that I had to go back to the scripts to see if I'd actually written them |
| Geoduck | MrManley: Did you feel nervous the day you turned in your first ADR script? |
| MrManley | Yeah, it was my test script for Gantz... so hell, yeah! |
| Otakuman | Ah |
| MrManley | And then Matt Greenfield tells me I'm going to finish writing it |
| Otakuman | Dont forget Tokyo Majin Game Tomorrow |
| Koji_M | Tokyo Majin is crazy |
| Koji_M | I don't know who's going to be what |
| Fudce | that's why it's a "guessing" game :D |
| Koji_M | lol |
| MrManley | I was scared to death of screwing it up, because I'd already boloed one writing test a couple of years earlier |
| Fudce | mistakes are there to be learned from |
| Otakuman | Interesting Who Jin Chung gets for TM |
| Koji_M | Jin Chung is even more difficult to predict then foster |
| Fudce | been a while since I've seen a Jin dub |
| Geoduck | It's scary enough to have other people read your writing, when there's NO consequences. |
| Koji_M | He uses lots of Foster's stuff |
| Geoduck | Oh, I didn't notice... Jin Ho is directing Tokyo Majin? |
| Otakuman | Yes Geo |
| Fudce | wow, I'd forgotten how bad this dub is |
| MrManley | Indeed... and Matt Greenfield was doing the judging... think I was nervous? You better believe it |
| Geoduck | Koji: I don't think Foster owns any people. |
| Fudce | he owns several peoples souls, though |
| Koji_M | Geo, he has a number of people only he uses |
| Fudce | I'm sure they have other gigs |
| Koji_M | generally |
| Koji_M | only he uses |
| Koji_M | And Jin was one of the only other people who uses Foster's cast members |
| Geoduck | ...but they AREN'T his cast members. |
| Koji_M | He's used Matranga, Taylor Hannah and Rozie Curtis |
| Geoduck | Is my point. |
| Koji_M | i know |
| Fudce | Did Steven Foster direct Law & Order? |
| MrManley | oy...... |
| Koji_M | I should have said director favorites |
| Otakuman | Hey folks New Anime Insider has 2 VA Interviews 1 with the lovely & talented Luci Christian & the other VA is LA Actor Quinton Flynn (Death Note on the Cover) |
| Fudce | sorry, just getting a point accross |
| Koji_M | he's got certain people he tends to use alot |
| PioneerB | Quinton Flynn is getting hot lately |
| Koji_M | and Jin has used Matranga, Taylor Hanah and Rozie Curtis in his shows as well |
| Otakuman | Talks about New Digmon series & Video game voices |
| BenP | Rozie Curtis was also in Legend of the Mystical Ninja. Which Scott McClennen directed. |
| Otakuman | While Luci talks about Nami in One Piece |
| Koji_M | BTW the new Digimon Data Squad dub is great |
| Otakuman | Hehe |
| MrManley | And, lest we forget Those Who Hunt Elves |
| PioneerB | Koji: I agree |
| Otakuman | Koji: I saw it too |
| PioneerB | Ep2 though isn't until tomorrow |
| Koji_M | I was shocked at how mature the dub got |
| Otakuman | What do ya mean mature? |
| PioneerB | Elseswhere, I've been enjoying Megaman Star Force on the Toonami jetstream |
| Fudce | Mature as in Stephanie Wittels in NHK? |
| Koji_M | well It doesn't feel kiddyish like the other four digimon shows did |
| Otakuman | Ohh ok i get the point |
| PioneerB | ...because it's older people involved, Koji |
| Otakuman | I did like Colleen O'shagnessey(SP?) in the new series Koji |
| Otakuman | Heya Mach |
| machineger4 | hey all |
| PioneerB | Good evening Machinger! |
| BenP | Hey. |
| Fudce | Evening Mach4 |
| Koji_M | Otaku, I didn't recognize her as Yoshino even though I knew she was playing her |
| machineger4 | how's everyone doing tonight? |
| Geoduck|pie | And George would approve... it's pumpkin pie |
| Geoduck|pie | Courtesy of Costco |
| Otakuman | Ive seen her interviews on the BZ site shes Hawt |
| Koji_M | BTW Eternal Sonata has possibly one of the best Video Game Dubs of the year |
| Koji_M | I love it |
| Koji_M | Patrick Seitz playing Chopin was a great choice and I have talked with Sam about it |
| MrManley | Punkin pie is okay... I'm a bigger fan of pumpkin cheesecake =) |
| PioneerB | Koji: Oh Really? |
| Koji_M | yes |
| Nijhazer | Sam Eagle? |
| PioneerB | Is the gameplay/story that good? |
| PioneerB | because the chara designs are awsome! |
| Otakuman | Say on GITS-SAC: The Laughing Man OAV are ya people disapointed that Ocean is dubbing it instead of Animaze? |
| Koji_M | the Gameplay is great |
| machineger4 | does the gameplay get monotonous? the demo was kinda fun but I can see it getting old over time |
| Fudce | Mmm, pie |
| Otakuman | Hiya Hfan |
| machineger4 | hey Hfan |
| PioneerB | 'Evening Hfan! |
| Fudce | Evening Hfan |
| Hfan | heya everyone! |
| Koji_M | they change up the gameplay every while |
| Koji_M | the battle system i mean |
| PioneerB | [grunt] damned Yankees! |
| machineger4 | how so? |
| Hfan | heya Otakuman, machineger4, PioneerB and Fudce! |
| Fudce | wow, that transformer just said "yearg" |
| Koji_M | like when you start of the battle system gives you unlimited tactical time and 5 seconds to move around the map |
| aquastar831 | hey Hfan |
| Nijhazer | Are we talking RPGs? Because I'll tell you right now that you will not play a better JRPG this year than Persona 3. |
| Hfan | heya aquastar! |
| Koji_M | but then as you go throughout the game they lower your tactical time and your map moving time |
| Koji_M | Nij I have palyed Persona 3 |
| Koji_M | and it's great |
| Fudce | there's a great RPG that was released here yesterday, but I wont receive it until next week due to postal strikes |
| machineger4 | i see, coulda swore I read that you're able to pick a time level and stick with it |
| Fudce | Final Fantasy Tactics |
| Koji_M | i don't think you are |
| machineger4 | FFT is dang good |
| Koji_M | at least i didn't |
| Nijhazer | Eternal Sonata is a good game, a beautiful game, but it's about twenty hours long and the story tapers off towards the end |
| Fudce | That's my big bother about newer RPGs, they don't last long enough |
| Nijhazer | I've pumped about 120 hours into Persona 3 so far |
| Fudce | Suikoden V... good story, good characters, great dub, 70 hours long! |
| Geoduck|pie | Video games. Pshaw. In my day, video games had joysticks. |
| MrManley | And one red button... =) |
| Geoduck|pie | We didn't have all of the colorful buttons, and the ability to save or pause games... |
| Geoduck|pie | And we liked it! |
| Fudce | I don't want to be accused of shutting myself in my room playing with my joystick |
| Nijhazer | In my day, if you wanted to play a video game, you'd shove your head into the fireplace |
| Geoduck|pie | Fudce: It's not true? |
| Fudce | I never denied it, I just don't want to be accused of it! |
| Geoduck|pie | I see. |
| MrManley | w00... fireplace video game |
| Fudce | I can't confirm or deny though |
| MrManley | You know... in a way that's true |
| MrManley | At Christmas, one of the greatest joys I had before my Odyessey 2 was throwing wrapping paper in the fireplace |
| MrManley | easy to distract, I was |
| Koji_M | new bleach game this week |
| Otakuman | BOO no PS2 Bleach Game :( |
| PioneerB | Guys, there was action at the PMX that is shaking heads |
| Otakuman | OH? |
| MrManley | w00, action |
| Fudce | pmx? |
| PioneerB | Pacific Media Exop |
| PioneerB | Expo |
| Fudce | aha |
| Koji_M | what was it |
| Fudce | surely that |
| PioneerB | It's a little hard to explain but here goes. |
| Fudce | 's PME |
| PioneerB | 4Kids had a 5 yr. contract with FOX (which created 4KidsTV). that contract ends at the end of this season |
| machineger4 | X has much more edginess than E so it's PMX :) |
| PioneerB | FOX exercised an option to extend that contract by one more year |
| Otakuman | Yeah i read about it on ANN |
| PioneerB | But now, 4Kids signed a 5 yr. contract with the CW, and the CW is dissolving Kids WB! next year to make room for what stuff 4Kids will put there |
| Otakuman | Yup YUP |
| PioneerB | So next year, Saturdays will be 4Kids whetever ya like it or not |
| machineger4 | don't care so no skin off my back |
| Otakuman | So anyone like the New Funi One Peice so far? |
| Fudce | only half here for the next 1/2hr |
| PioneerB | Why? I do not know, but the Shiho chan Network got some specualtion that it may have to do with getting around to broadcasting Pretty Cure, but nothing's been announced to my knowledge. |
| MrManley | OK... I'll chime in. The new One Piece sounds great! |
| MrManley | =) |
| Otakuman | Yay |
| Otakuman | It'll take time for me to get use to the new VAS |
| PioneerB | George: you get +1 in my favor |
| Otakuman | But the NYC Actors i shall miss |
| PioneerB | Last night's One Piece was crazy good |
| MrManley | Oh shucks... I'll donate it in perpetuity to the Great Texas Anime Machine |
| Geoduck|pie | Otherwise known at GTAM. |
| * MrManley nods vigorously | |
| Otakuman | Funny Luci uses her Kaname Voice fer Nami |
| MrManley | No, I'm pretty sure she uses her Nami voice |
| PioneerB | More from the PMX, VIZ has licensed the Kirarian Revolution anime, and is actively looking for a place to broadcast it! |
| Geoduck|pie | MrManley: Touche! |
| Otakuman | Never heard of it |
| aquastar831 | I still haven't watched any of One Piece yet, though my friend raves about it |
| PioneerB | It's a pretty good Idol/Shojo/non-magical girl anime |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | wb pieman |
| Arcturus | Okay, ate my pie. |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | good pie? |
| PioneerB | wb Arc. |
| MrManley | Glory.... I swear, if I get a couple bucks ahead, I'm going to do a road trip to San Antonio so I can have me some Marie Callendars |
| Otakuman | Yeah weather its a Anime Con or the TZ Forums there are people still screaming bloody murder about 4Kids OP dub, now that funi has it theyre saying YAY!! |
| Otakuman | LOL |
| MrManley | 100 bucks for gas... 20 bucks for dinner... 30 bucks or more for stuff to bring home with me (potato cheese soup and cream cheese pie) |
| PioneerB | So many anti-4Kids [bleep]s on TZ |
| Koji_M | Im wondering what's gonig on with the Blue Dragon Anime |
| Koji_M | I don't know if they are going to keep the original cast or go with a new one |
| Otakuman | Bay: Heck shoulda gone to the Funi Panel at AX the Q&A people were bashng the NYC Actors & Kids |
| Koji_M | but I'm going to believe a new one |
| Kiggy | hi hito |
| PioneerB | 'Evening Hito. |
| Hfan | heya Hitokiri |
| JLS | iT'S vIZ, EXPECT ANYTHING OUT OF THEM... >_> |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | hi hito |
| Koji_M | i don't think it's the actors probably |
| JLS | Gah. Stupid capslock. |
| Hitokiri | hello everyone |
| Koji_M | I think it was 4kids that was to blame for One Piece more than the actor |
| JLS | my wife forgot to turn off the caplocks .-. |
| Koji_M | I'm hoping that Funimation might be able to ask Sean Schemmel to reprise a few roles for one Piece |
| PioneerB | brb |
| Otakuman | What OP roles Sean did? |
| Koji_M | Helmeppo |
| Koji_M | Carne |
| Koji_M | Tin-Plate Wapol (4Kids) |
| Koji_M | Kurobi |
| Koji_M | Hachi |
| JLS | Silly 4Kids :P |
| Koji_M | yeah but he should reprise those roles considering funimation's relationship with sean |
| Otakuman | If havent been fer 4ids there would ne no Pokemon nor Winx Club or Viva Pinata |
| Otakuman | :P |
| JLS | Pokemon isn't licensed by 4Kids anymore, so no problems there. ;x |
| Otakuman | Yea |
| Kiggy | Who has Pokemon now? |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | Pokemon USA? |
| JLS | Ninetendo USA/Pokemon USA >_> |
| JLS | *Nintendo |
| Kiggy | aaah |
| Kiggy | are going to keep making an english version? |
| Kiggy | they |
| JLS | Hmm.. I really like this song. |
| Otakuman | Yup |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | Pokemon will never be the same though, without Veronica Taylor & co |
| PioneerBathroom | Over 500 Pokemon eps and growing |
| Otakuman | Tru Dat Fu |
| Otakuman | Veronica is one of the nicest people I ever met |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | Never met her, but she is really amongst the top 10 anime actors in the industry |
| PioneerB | BTW, there's a second Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game and corresponding anime special coming soon |
| Otakuman | ahh |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | that's an interesting question, who'd be in your "dream team" of any 5 voice actors |
| JLS | I found an interesting tidbit that Code Geass Season 2 will have 2 Creative Consultants of high-profile. >_> |
| Otakuman | Hmm thats a toughie |
| PioneerB | real tough |
| MrManley | Goodness... I know that's a situation that talent pools deliberately try to avoid |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | what is? |
| MrManley | Dream teams of 5 or less =) |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | lol |
| MrManley | Goodness knows, I wouldn't work if that was a goal |
| JLS | Blood+ is a good example of 5 people doing just about every role. >_> |
| MrManley | However, for outfits like small improv companies, it's pretty cool |
| MrManley | The cast of Whose Line Is It Anyway, for example |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | Transformers Headmasters is a bad example of 5 people doing just about every role. <_< |
| Arcturus | Alas, I must make my way to Seattle, so I am taking my leave of this chat. |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | have fun on the journey Arc |
| Otakuman | Bye arc |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | don't run over too many animals |
| PioneerB | IIRC, Digimon Frontier only had 8 people doing all the voices |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | Voices of a Distant Star had 3 people doing all the voices |
| JLS | There weren't that many to begin with. ;x |
| JLS | Speaking of Makoto Shinkai, evidently hes working on a 12-episode anime for Mid-2008. |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | oooh |
| Otakuman | Hmm |
| JLS | He's working with Studio Khara for in-between animation and op/ed animation. |
| MrManley | Always good to see the good ones working |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | my prediction, it will be a love story based on distance |
| JLS | I'm glad to see Studio Khara get more work. :P |
| JLS | Very solid and beautiful animation. |
| JLS | Studio Khara = Hideki Anno's personal animation studio |
| JLS | Just fyi. |
| JLS | Since Hideki Anno left Gainax and all. >_> |
| Otakuman | ah |
| JLS | I've been on a bad Evangelion binge as of late. |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | Evangelion Binge... sounds expensive |
| JLS | No, just marathoning Evangelion. |
| Kiggy | Geneon Binge is what I'm getting ready for |
| JLS | I've gotten everything I want from Geneon practically. |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | speaking of expensive, anyone picking up Evangelion again when the box is released? |
| Otakuman | Yup yup |
| JLS | I would to support Hideki Anno, Gainax, ADV and the idea of getting Evangelion 1.0 You Are [Not] Alone :( |
| JLS | How about that terrible review of Glass Fleet? |
| JLS | Or shall I call it, "Glass Trainwreck" |
| Otakuman | What review? |
| JLS | Glass Fleet vol.1 review from Chris B. >_> |
| Otakuman | Oh |
| Fudce|Escaflowne | glass Trainwreck? Sounds shattering |
| Otakuman | Talk about Chris's Xenosaga1 review |
| Otakuman | :P |
| JLS | I expect FUNimation will sale precisely 6 Glass Fleet vol.1 |
| PioneerB | I don't know how Chris does it...reviewing so many anime at once...and all subbed too |
| JLS | It might be his preference. >_> |
| PioneerB | I guess that's why we have people like Duck and Koji |
| JLS | Zegapain's Cast List Revealed = :( |
| PioneerB | JLS: Oooh |
| JLS | I knew it too, but I was in denial. |
| PioneerB | link? |
| JLS | I listened to it for 10 minutes before I said.. "No, just no." |
| Otakuman | OOoh |
| JLS | Click Here (Opens in New Window) |
| EmperorBrandon | Hey all |
| JLS | I'm glad it had high-quality subs, because the dub was just terrible. :( |
| EmperorBrandon | late again this time |
| JLS | Yo EB. |
| PioneerB | Hi EB |
| Fudce | Evening Emp |
| Fudce | and an emperor is never late! |
| EmperorBrandon | checking eBay and then playing Risk with my brother and his friends tonight |
| JLS | Bill Lemas was -horrid- as Kyo. :( |
| EmperorBrandon | I'm getting a Magic User's Club poster, which is nice :) (have one, so that's another to add) |
| JLS | I don't see why they dubbed over the Zegapain AI, which was already in English -- it was a stupid directing decision. |
| Kiggy | is Tokyo Majin animated? it's title makes it sound live action |
| JLS | Tokyo Majin is an anime. D: |
| JLS | A very good one at that. |
| Fudce | I need to watch that, bought the Magic Users Club box this week :D |
| Fudce | watched 3 episodes so far |
| EmperorBrandon | Oh yeah, cast guessing game... that starts tomorrow doesn't it? |
| EmperorBrandon | Liking it so far, Fudce? |
| JLS | Yeah. |
| Fudce | yeah |
| Fudce | It was your recomendation more than any other that pointed me to it EB |
| Kiggy | I'm still waiting forthe magikano game |
| EmperorBrandon | I'm probably going to be watching it again soo, after I finish up CCS |
| Kiggy | and Sgt Frog, that one will be big! |
| EmperorBrandon | cool |
| Fudce | Kiggy: sell me on Magikano |
| JLS | I'll say, JenSeki's performance in Zegapain was the worst of her career. :( |
| Otakuman | WHAAAT?????? |
| Fudce | :o |
| PioneerB | You're full of it, JLS! |
| JLS | BEUSA has severely left me hurting after such a bad dub. :( |
| Kiggy | it's not a classic, but it's good, turn-your-brain-off-for-half an hour-fun |
| Otakuman | JenSeki never does any bad performances |
| MrManley | Magikano: GONZO does a harem show |
| Otakuman | NEVER! |
| Fudce | what does it compare to? |
| JLS | It was pretty bad. |
| MrManley | That's pretty much a selling point =) |
| JLS | Magikano isn't GONZO >_> |
| EmperorBrandon | Sgt. Frog will be big, when it ever happens. I wonder how long off it is... (starting to get worried....) |
| PioneerB | Isn't it still running in Japan? |
| Kiggy | I think Magikano is by JC Staff |
| Kiggy | Froggy? yes |
| Kiggy | I think |
| MrManley | Once again... taken too literally |
| PioneerB | That's what I thought |
| MrManley | Just like people thought Coyote Ragtime Show looked like a Gonzo show |
| JLS | Coyote Ragtime Time was totally ufotable. They love lolis. :) |
| JLS | >_> |
| Fudce | don't we all |
| JLS | *Cayote Ragtime Show |
| MrManley | Look... I'm not freakin arguing about it |
| MrManley | I'm just stating why I said what I said |
| Kiggy | but... but..magikano doesn't look.. but...but |
| Kiggy | oh I get it |
| Kiggy | i hope |
| JLS | I'm slow.. I just got it too .-. |
| EmperorBrandon | ufotable? Don't think there's anything from them I particularly liked so far (but then again, may not have seen much anyway) |
| MrManley | Christ, you can't cut a comparison in this place without all you jokers trying to fall all over yourselves trying to prove who's got his facts straight |
| Kiggy | btw did the basebal game in NYC finished? who won? |
| Kiggy | who was on first |
| JLS | Manabi Straight, Futakoi, Futakoi Alternative are a few of ufotable's works. >_> |
| EmperorBrandon | I've seen a little bit of Manabi Straight |
| EmperorBrandon | None of Futakoi though |
| MrManley | It's animated, and it's got boobs, hair and perfect teeth.... |
| MrManley | moving on |
| Fudce | Manabi Straight is love in a spraycan |
| Otakuman | Yanks won Kig |
| MrManley | Goodness knows, that's all you needed to sell me a title 10 years ago |
| Kiggy | ah OK |
| MrManley | See now, I like that... "love in a spraycan" |
| Kiggy | they 'd lost all prev...so dubs |
| EmperorBrandon | dubs... |
| Fudce | dubs! yay gun! |
| Otakuman | Anyone like Haruhi 3 dub? |
| EmperorBrandon | I need to actually watch one. It's been a while... |
| Kiggy | I'm hoping..well, wishfully thinking that Funimation will "rescue" Card Captor Sakura |
| JLS | I watched Evangelion and fell in love with Tiffany Grant... again. :( |
| MrManley | "boobs, in a easy, spreadable paste" |
| MrManley | an, even |
| Otakuman | So Funi can dub it & MONICA willbe Sakura |
| Otakuman | YAY |
| Kiggy | that way Mionica can be the definitive vvoice of Sakura |
| Otakuman | LOL JAWJ |
| Geoduck|pie | I have noticed a distinct drop in people offering opinion in dubs, and more people trying to show off how many actors resumes they can recite off the top of their heads. |
| MrManley | Exactly |
| Fudce | yeah |
| MrManley | Trust me when I say that it doesn't help their "fledgling acting careers" any |
| EmperorBrandon | I still think CCS should have a different cast from Tsubasa if it ever does get "license rescued" by someone |
| Kiggy | well I'm sop behind on my back log that by the time I get to watcha volume you're already 2-3 volumes ahead T_T |
| MrManley | As it is, among actors, I'm the resident geek... and people wonder if IM spending too much time embroiled in trivia.... |
| MrManley | Helps as a writer, though |
| Kiggy | SO I'll get out a blast from the past |
| Kiggy | nadesico |
| MrManley | Although, I think Mariela has me beat by a wide margin |
| Kiggy | where all the voices clicked perfectly |
| Otakuman | AKITOOOO!!!!-Yurika |
| JLS | Never seen Nadesico. |
| Otakuman | ^_- |
| Geoduck|pie | Back to dubs. I just watched Beck volume 3 this week. Liked it a lot. |
| Fudce | JLS, watch it :D |
| MrManley | Nadesico was cute in an easy cheese can |
| * Kiggy hi5's manley | |
| MrManley | spread on a chocolate wafer of boobs |
| Otakuman | Hows Greg & the rest of the gang Geo? |
| JLS | Mmm. cheese. ^_^ |
| Fudce | The beck dub is fantastic, I've only seen vol1, but I can already tell it's something special |
| Kiggy | Geo I haven't even seen Vol of Beck ToT |
| MrManley | Ghod, I'm bad sometimes |
| * PioneerB has all of Nadesico -the movie | |
| JLS | My Evangelion Collection can beat your Nadesico. :( |
| Geoduck|pie | Some really good singing and interesting performances. |
| EmperorBrandon | I would rather CCS be dubbed by Bang Zoom, with the same cast as Movie 2. Not sure if that would really be possible recently, though |
| PioneerB | Hi ANderson |
| Fudce | it's comparisons like that which we need more of Manley :D |
| Kiggy | heya Nos |
| Otakuman | NOS!! |
| Nosredna | hi all! |
| PioneerB | Down with the Yankees! Down! |
| JLS | Yo's Nos. D: |
| EmperorBrandon | The one I most wanted to hear in the series was Julie Maddalena, who isn't doing anime VA'ing anymore |
| Otakuman | Who was BZ's Sakura EB? |
| Hfan | heya Nos |
| Geoduck|pie | Cardcaptor Sakura will never be redubbed. |
| Geoduck|pie | Never, ever, ever. |
| EmperorBrandon | Kari Wahlgren |
| MrManley | Yeah... the world needs more screwballs in the world... just like me |
| JLS | I preordered Death Note vol.1 + Calender this week. :) |
| Otakuman | AHHH Jule Maddelena I missed her |
| Kiggy | How do you know, Geo? |
| Kiggy | Can you swear to that by your prosbocis? |
| Otakuman | Never say never Geo |
| Otakuman | :P |
| MrManley | Today, Grand Master Flash Manley of The Twinkie Empire (formerly the US), challenger Prime Minister Prancy Pants of Pizzaworld (formerly France) to a whipped cream pie duel on rowboats in the English Channel |
| EmperorBrandon | Hey, I can dream, right? @_@ |
| Geoduck|pie | Kiggy: Because it sold terribly, and nobody will risk the cost of dubbing it for the small chance that it will sell better. |
| MrManley | The winning country, it is said, will get out of Iraq... |
| Geoduck|pie | I will post nude pictures of myself to the internet if I am ever proven wrong. |
| Kiggy | it's all Nelvana'ss fault |
| Kiggy | kidding |
| Otakuman | If Funi gets it & then they should redub it & sell it in nice boxsets :P |
| PioneerB | Duck: Illll, don't do that! |
| Kiggy | I don;t think I wanna see naked mollusk pics |
| * JLS decides to not take a swipe at FUNimation. | |
| MrManley | Of course "Iraq" is the code name formerly known as "Belgium" |
| Geoduck|pie | If FUNi redubs it, then I will be crowned queen of all England. |
| Geoduck|pie | IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. |
| JLS | Can I take a swipe at FUNimation? :) |
| Otakuman | NOPE |
| Nosredna | No |
| JLS | Aww. :( |
| MrManley | Oh sure... I'll tell them to duck |
| Kiggy | Geo Can I fom a rock band and sing at your Royal Command Performance? |
| Kiggy | that way you can clap your hands and rock your jewelry |
| Geoduck|pie | Kiggy: I'll command you to play "The Girl from Ipanema". |
| Fudce | JLS: depends if it's justified, or just one of your normal swipes :D |
| Fudce | Oh, Hi Nos, btw :D |
| JLS | Normal swipe. |
| MrManley | I get a big moving picture of that... Kiggy, prior to his appointment as an expatriate Officer of The British Empire, performed for Emperor Geoduck at Buckingham Palace |
| Kiggy | hmm Don;t know that one. I could sing "Claridad", but I won;t tell you who sang that because i don;t want to be tarred and feathered |
| MrManley | "Who sings that?" "James Taylo..." "Yeah, let's keep it that way." |
| EmperorBrandon | So, as far as dubs go, anyone seen School Rumble Vol. 2? |
| * JLS gets the tar and feathers ready. | |
| Fudce | it's awesome Emp |
| Kiggy | anyway, I'm still beginning to watch Princess Nine |
| Fudce | Colleen is teh sexah! |
| Kiggy | a jewel fro ADV's past |
| Otakuman | Yay Kig |
| JLS | I've been watching episode 1 of School Rumble. >_> |
| Hfan | haven't got School Rumble v 2 yet |
| machineger4 | good job, kiggy |
| MrManley | Oh dude... P9 is the shizznit |
| Kiggy | ooh Speaking of Colleen. Yuko is so damn hot |
| EmperorBrandon | Behind on that... and on Full Moon (need to get the latest volume on that - though it's pretty hard to fall too far behind with Viz's release schedule...) |
| Fudce | Colleen voices a lot of sexy characters, and Luffy |
| Kiggy | she's Luffy/ |
| Kiggy | LOL ( in a good way) |
| Otakuman | Hey Tofu girl!!-Hiroki Ryo-IM NO TOFU GIRL!! |
| Fudce | Stop calling me TOFU! |
| Koji_M | best game ever Click Here (Opens in New Window) |
| Hfan | Been watching Hellsing 3, finished up Ergo Proxy 5 &6 and Black Lagoon v 2 & 3, all whose dubs I enjoyed :) |
| JLS | Eww Youtube :( |
| machineger4 | EP has a dang good dub, just wished the show itself was better |
| Hfan | and ended up rewatching quite a few episodes of Fruits Basket and the AMG movie ^_^;; |
| Otakuman | YT Rocks whatta talkin about?? |
| Koji_M | JLS, you never have something that you don't like do you |
| JLS | I like plenty of things. |
| Nijhazer | FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOUR MINUTES REMAINING |
| JLS | You just don't read them because you don't believe its true I'm human too and like/hate things. |
| * Fudce unglues Nijhazer's F key | |
| Geoduck|pie | MrManley: I prefer the wording "Who sings that?" "James Taylor." "And do you know why he sang that?" "No." "So you don't have to." |
| aquastar831 | so, what are we talking about now? |
| MrManley | Heheheheh |
| MrManley | My quote was from Family Guy... full of originality and goodness and stuff |
| Otakuman | I wanna hear more Serena Varghese ^_- |
| aquastar831 | I saw the news about 5cm Per Second |

| EmperorBrandon | Going to, aquastar |
| Otakuman | Never heard of it aqua |
| EmperorBrandon | but haven't yet |
| aquastar831 | Tomoyo is hot <3 |
| JLS | Plan to, aqua. |
| Kiggy | Aqua: I was stating how damn hot Yuko the Dimensional Witch is |
| aquastar831 | hence why she's my avatar now |
| Nosredna | aqua: not yet |
| Kiggy | Aqua: I see |
| Otakuman | Aha |
| Kiggy | Maybe I'll make Yukomy next avatar |
| Kiggy | once the magikano game ends |
| Otakuman | Yukomy? |
| EmperorBrandon | Not sure who my next avatar will be |
| Kiggy | Maybe I'll make Yuko my next avatar |
| EmperorBrandon | Either another one of Sae |
| EmperorBrandon | or someone from Mahoraba, since I'm keeping my support up :) |
