Somewhere, E.G. is giggling hysterically. Ohhhh, YES! Earlee Gail found Seiryuu's "Bell-Boy Blues" QUITE AMUSING! [Tho' E.G. DID complain about all teh noise Seiryuu made during his nightmare teh other night......."Woke me outta a DEAD SLEEP with his YELLIN' about 'dirty diapers and stretch marks'!" *Indignant SNORT!*]

Oh man, I can't even handle teh Kenshin dub! I tried to watch it on CN teh other night, and I couldn't even get through teh episode. Too weird. For me it usually comes down to how I saw it first, whichever way I watched it teh first time through seems like teh 'right' way. So, I'll probably be stuck with teh FMA dub forever, now that those voices are getting imprinted in my brain.... That's so weird that you mentioned teh Gushoshin thing... just yesterday I decided to check out teh dub on Yami no Matsuei, which I had never really watched, and that totally freaked me out! Talk about a wrong voice. Heh, if I ever decide to move myself back 'in' to teh game here completely again, I am SO bringing teh Gushoshin twins home with me! Yeah. They could organize my office.... (And speaking of Yami no Matsuei....there's some more Suzaku action...we really hafta get all of these phoenix folks together one day.) In all honesty, I usually prefer teh English voices, just because I find them SEXIER [teh MALE ONES, that IS!]--besides, there are a few that I would ADORE no matter WHAT language they spoke in, like Bosch or Crispin [OF COURSE! Is there ANY FEMALE who DON'T find Mr. Crispin's voice SEXY AS HELL!?] I do think it's true that teh voices you hear first tend to be teh ones you prefer in teh long run, but there are always a few exceptions [teh guy who did Zel's voice FIRST was nice enough, but Crispin blew him away, of course!] I WILL agree that some dubbing choices STINK, however, such as Chichiri's , and this is especially true of anime aimed at kids, such as "Yu-Gi-Oh!"--MUST Merik's voice be SO DAMN ANNOYING!!?? And why can't Evil Bakura have a voice just as nice to hear as Good Bakura?
But when teh right VA is put with teh right character, it's "magic"--I'll NEVER hear Vash any other way than teh way Bosch does him!

Well, difficult as it may be for you, Xer, feel assured that your effort WILL be appreciated! Oh, and hurry it up, already! I wanna' know what happens NEXT!! Well, there are two things still holding me back. 1) I still don't know where to begin. I'm all middle and end. 2) I really should do some research on a couple of characters (Seiryuu included). 3) (forgot about this one, heh) This one thing that is supposed to happen that is very important I can't seem to find a good character who can make it happen. teh best chance I can come up with so far is Rosie, if that tells you anything.
Oh yeah, and that's only half teh problem. It's not just that I'm having a creative block or trouble writing or anything, which you could probably guess from my earlier remarks, but I'm kinda embarassed to write some parts, in a sense.

teh only anime I really like teh dub better for is Trigun. And I have seen teh dub first more often than not. I like Kenshin about 50/50, because both have plenty of major pros in that situation. Other than those two, I hafta go with teh sub all teh way. I've gotten to like Richard Hayworth's Kenshin and Lex Lang's Sanosuke so MUCH, that even other English voices don't seem to do them justice--teh fact that Hayworth ALSO does such a wonderfully creepy Legato just makes me appreciate him even MORE! [And he--well, his "alter ego", that is--would be currently residing in me VA closet RIGHT NOW if I knew what he LOOKED LIKE--I only take those for myself that I've "seen"......but I'll "fetch" ANY of them for others, if they ask--I just wuv teh "thrill of teh Hunt!"]

- Richard Hayworth does a really great Kenshin.
- Kenshin greatly requires that you be looking at teh faces instead of teh bottom of teh screen reading when they are talking to get teh full effect.
- teh other voices are mostly still pretty good or okay, depending on teh person, even if not as good as teh Japanese. It's not anywhere close to being annoying like most dubs tend to be.
Reasons I like teh Kenshin sub:
- teh other non-Kenshin voices are better.
- Translation is way better on most parts.
- I had another, but I forgot it.

Some random stuff: -I never did say, congratulations, Snap!! OOOhhh..I wuv babies. Yeah, ain't it WONDERFUL!!??
Thank you and Yes, it IS a "nightmare" at times! But it's also kinda' fun!
I'll find ya' a pic or two......[He's MAJOR sexy! Gives me a HORMONE RUSH just lookin' at him!]
What's NOT to LIKE....!?
He seems to spend at least half his time WITHOUT clothes--Again, what's not to LIKE!!?? *Hubba, Hubba!*
His characteristic smirk [they don't call him a bastard fer' NUTHIN'!]
But.....it's NOT a good idea to get on his "Bad Side", noda!
Basically, Dark Schneider--or Darsches, for short--is a JERK.....but, a Loveable One! [And he DO wuv his Women!!!]
Yeah, aren't ya' GLAD Emi-chan introduced us to this gem!? [So......have ya' seen teh episode where Miaka "feels up" teh Emperor, yet? Or, how about Nuriko's lil' "wuv games" with Tamahome?--I wuv his rather desperate "inch-worm getaway"!]

Hey, THERE's a VA you could bag for us, Stampers! Sanzo! (teh English VA, I mean.) (Heh heh...it would be.... very.... uuuhhmmm..... dangerous for me to have Sanzo's Japanese VA in my possession....*blushing down to my toes smiley*) (and no, I will NOT tell you why!) This is of course assuming you don't have him already or something...just who DO you have in that closet of yours? I shall look into that, that I shall........*tee, hee!* As fer' teh current Occupants of my VA Closet Collection, there are these Seven: --Mr. Crispin [Crispin Freeman] --Kirby-Woogums [Kirby Morrow--does Miroku from "Inuyasha"] --Johnny VA-SHnookums [Johnny Yong Bosch] --"Sexy Lexy" [Lex Lang] --"Fluffykins" [David Kaye--does Sesshomaru] --Stevie-Jay-Jay [Steven Jay Blum--does Spike Spiegel] --Dobby-ku [Paul Dobson--does Naraku] [They all have "pet-names", so hopefully no one will take all this silliness SERIOUSLY--don't wanna' be arrested or nuthin'!] I've seen pics of each, and they're all pretty good-lookin', except maybe Dobson, who's just kinda' "average"
No doubt these po' guys keep getting "cold shivers" and don't know WHY!
[I'll try and dig up some old posts for ya' and email them....]

This is of course assuming you don't have him already or something...just who DO you have in that closet of yours? Okay, Pel--MY VA closet is a bit full, but if YOU want him, I'll get Mr. David Matranga fer' lil' ol' you ta' "play" with! Here's a pic o' "Genjo Sanzo's" English Voice: He looks like a rather large dude, but NO ONE CAN WITHSTAND "Mr. Fryin'-Pan o' DOOM"!!!! *MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!* So get Schu and Farfie OUT o' yer' closet--give 'em a ROOM, for Heaven's SAKE!!--and get it ready fer' "DM" [or WHATEVER ya' decide ta' call him after he's all yer's!] Oh, and remember--VA's are "low maintenance pets"--just feed them a bowl o' gruel now and then and give their needy lil' Souls some "loving attention" [or groping!] on a regular basis and you won't even hafta' chain them after awhile! [Jerks on chain around Johnny VA-SHnookums ankle--"HEY! DROP THAT FILE, "Schnookums"!!! BAD BOY!! HEEL!!!" <---"Schnookums" *whimper*]
