Only on ep 5 so it's currently a tie between Reki or Kana. I've been alternating between dub and sub episodes and while the sub is generally better I felt that Kana's English VA hits the beats at least as well as the original actress.

I thought they did that thing where most shows are bought as two seasons for reasons and it takes something supremely bad like the Netflix Bebop show to tank that sort of deal.

The race of dogmatic religious fanatics named after the Qur'an were described as "Militant Islamic Borg" by their writer. Maybe let the Thedas thing slide when Bioware has that particular yikes under their writing belt.

Dragon Age 2 was a mistake.

EDIT: I just remembered that the entire plot regarding the Qunari in DA2 revolved around Isabella stealing their holy book for shits and giggles so they decide to launch a jihad against the city to get it back.

General question regarding singing in anime. Is it considered standard practice for a voice actor to be expected to sing when their characters sing ala Paige O'Hara in Beauty and the Beast or is it more common to have a voice actor do the talky bits and then a singer soundalike to do the singing bits ala Matthew Broderick/Joseph Williams in Lion King?

whenever an anime casts separate speaking and singing voices, almost always seems to me that they cast the singing voice first and then realize they can't act and need an actor, rather than realizing their actor can't sing. I guess thats the opposite of disney movies

I wonder what the stage-to-voice acting pipeline is like in Japan. I know that quite a few voice actors in the anglosphere got their start doing stage work where you pretty much have to rely on your voice to convey information since the people at the back won't be making out the complexities of your facial expressions. It's a different skill set to be sure but it has a fair amount of overlap.

western musical films have begun to simply cast actors who cannot sing and give them difficult voice parts nonetheless and its pretty funny

Nah the best part is when they cast actors who can't sing and then pair them up against trained singers who run circles around them.

It's considered a bad action if you call Isabella out on this and the game really wants you to feel bad if you tell her to gently caress off lol. What a terrible game.

The game also wants you to feel bad if you tell the lunatic Anders to gently caress off after he does fantasy 9/11 on a church.

GateOfD posted:

seems common when the show is strictly about singing.
I believe Carol and Tuesday split up the singing and talking roles too

This one I can understand because the songs are all in English and casting someone who can act in Japanese and also sing fluently in a different language seems like a logistical challenge.

Piccolo is cool and my dad and he secretly gets the best fight scenes in the entire series. Every time he shows up in the movies he kicks serious rear end and his duel with 17 is the best raw action scene of the Androids/Cell saga.

Anyways I had a good day I drank a margarita and then got a pecan butter tart and bought a Henley shirt for 20 bucks after getting it half off with a jew pair of sweatpants. I now have a trendy "lazy around the house" attire.

I've got three episodes of Haibane Renmei left. Quite enjoying it though maybe not as much as Serial Experiments Lain. It's a lot more straightforward than Lain and I picked up on what the show is doing almost immediately once the wings and halos came out, but it's still a pretty compelling little story. I'll probably finish it up in the next day or two.

Office building flooded over the weekend so the ground and 2nd floor are busted and the elevators are out.

I work on the 8th floor. And our phone lines short circuited because the breaker is on the flooded floor. And they can't turn on the building AC either.

This is fun.

Mushrooms go on pizza or in stew.

Bakery question: you have scones, cornmeal muffins, stew and chili. Which baked good goes better with which meal?

Do you consider sukiyaki a stew?

I mean, it might fit the technical definition. Sukiyaki always looks so nice and well prepared that i dont want to toss everything together when they bring it out. I certainly prefer my stews a bit more blended and slathered in beef gravy. Sourdough scones make amazing sponges to wipe up stew residue.
