Let's talk about Australian anime. There's uh... Deltora Quest I guess. And the Australian priest in Ghost Hunt?

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I just finished reading Dead Dead Demons Dededestruction like ten minutes ago, speaking of things that change genres. I was keeping up with it then forgot about it just before things got weird. In fact I think it got a bit too weird, but I like the main cast a lot.

That's apparently counterbalanced by some of the American characters being comically terrible at speaking English in the subbed version from what I hear though.

It's actually really uneven but in a way I find charming. Like all the random thugs or bit characters? Pretty good english, still kind of stilted but it doesn't sound heavily accented. But major characters? All insanely terrible.

Bryce is especially terrible just because he has so many English speaking bits.
I assume it's because they could get anyone for bit parts and just grabbed people who could do good English but the major roles have to be established people and good English is optional lol

Tbh the background Hawaii enemies are probably just straight up American actors, though it does beg the question of why they didn’t just ask a bilingual voice actor to do the EN/JP voices for those characters when you’re paying for Danny Trejo and Daniel Dae Kim.

jabba doesn't hate australia. shot weapon does. shot weapon is an illegal weapons manufacturer who was born in california but was exiled to australia, where he met his cohort, jabba. later shot weapon was teleported into the fantasy world of byston well, where he combined the magical powers of the land with his weapons manufacturing knowledge to create giant robots. his plan was to work under an evil duke manufacturing robots for him and aiding him in taking over the world, so that he could one day return to his own world and use the robots to get his revenge. when shot weapon ultimately dies at the end of the series, he comes back in byston well untold centuries later as an immortal lich and builds a nuclear missile silo with the intent of warping the nukes onto earth to cross-dimensionally nuke it, but ultimately is finally destroyed for good when his nukes detonate with him inside them

his death scene in neo dunbine may actually be the worst instance of flashing lights i have ever seen in an anime before. it's worse than electric soldier porygon, it's worse than gaogaigar, it's worse than that one bit from ruin explorers that also hurt my eyes

iirc for some of the bit character/random thugs they just cast the dub VAs and then reused those for the JP version which is why they sound decent

Yeah, just like how the random thugs in Yokohama still have their JP VAs in the dub.

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
RahXephon has some standout episodes, and 11, where Ayato is imprisoned in an escapist dream, is certainly among them. The fake world feels so creepy and suffocatingly surreal without actually being unreal.



Numerous shots of Ayato staring pensively at his hand to go with the introspection.
