Kaiser Mazoku posted:At least we can all agree that the best dub of all time is Yu Yu Hakusho. YYH does have an all time legendary dub and it's Exhibit A when people try to act like English Dubs only got good in the mid 2000s or something. I liked many dubs in the 90s and early 2000s. But I don't think dubbing companies dub OP's much anymore and it makes me sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4JUZhF9Kx8 Also all the talk about dubs focuses on anime when we got stuff like Metal Gear Solid and many other big time Japanese games from "earlier" that hit it out of the park. Xenosaga Episode 1 was my second JRPG ever and together with Inuyasha (which is how I found out about XS1, I had recorded iY on my VCR and during it a commercial for Xenosaga came up) made me a lifelong lover of Japanese pop culture. I love both their dubs.

Endorph posted:the greatest anime industry story ive ever heard is the director of the big o being really obsessed with the fact that some random american anime industry guy had a big yard at his house, cause that isnt a thing at all in most japanese cities, you have to go really out into the sticks for people to have huge yards to themselves, so he asked to see his yard and it was like an old farmhouse so he had a tractor and everything so the director of the big o asked to ride his tractor, and then he got on it and yelled BIG TRACTOR, SHOWTIME and drove it around for like an hour. CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD YE HAAAAW

fun hater posted:480 mill+volumes of one piece have been sold. over 20 years ago the friends finale was the 4th most watched thing with 51 mil. neither of these take into account pirating or streaming but im going to guess, again, the currently running and largest selling comic in the world for 20+ years is knocking the tits off a sitcom that ended in 2004. for some reason my coworkers dont appreciate those numbers or how kickass impel down arc was

Mentioning dubs and Slayers and One Piece all in the same breath just makes me think of how Sanji and Xellos's voice actor sounded like Dr. Girlfriend from Venture Bros.

Eric Vale (Sanji) is great and his ability to go from Sanji's normally raspy, scratchy voice to his high-pitched singsong voice when girls are around is always entertaining. Dawgstar posted:There'd be a good video from somebody like the Cartoon Cipher about early good dubs. El-Hazard, You're Under Arrest!, Slayers (once Crispin Freeman takes over as Zelgadis), etc. I'd also love to see a video like that. Throw in Fushigi Yuugi! The man who would become Solid Snake as a prettyboy shojo male lead. Also a lot of the other "usual suspects" like Kirk Thornton or Richard Epcar but also people you don't hear enough anymore like Bridget Hoffman or Mary-Elizabeth McGlynn. Okay many of the voices outside of these aren't very good but it worked for me. Nakago has such a badass voice, I think it was the dude who did the narration for Stardust Memory. These are like the only things I know him from. Also I couldn't get into Slayers. I watched the one with Copy Rezo where they ended on fighting the all powerful little boy. Voice-acting I remember May from Pokemon was the main lady I think and Ash was the little girl with the hammer. I mainly watched it because a lot of folks on a forum I used to post on were super into it. But there's like a ton of stuff, LNs, manga, all the different anime... But just didn't hook me after I gave it a try.

Kim Justice posted:This One Piece/Friends slapfight is one of the silliest in the thread yet, where did it even come from It started with re-reading one of those Lily Orchard tweets again. The good news is this confirms that any of those dumb writing tip tweets can cause a bizarre multi-page debate, and there's over a hundred of them, so we can post a new one every time the thread gets slow and be flush in new, completely wild arguments for about a month.

I hope Dogs Must Die might be a little pocket of that for Jojo likers. Same with all my fannish/media projects. Ah right, Star Wars and Doctor Who, I remembered you being a fan of the former from earlier Chipod Ironicast (and maybe Retsutalk?) episodes but I always thought of you as more of a Star Trek fan for some reason. Yeah with those are being your prior experiences I can see why you'd be apprehensive about hearing that some other fandom is notoriously not great! But don't worry, I've long since learned to stop caring about the things I enjoy based on how loudly everyone else might be an idiot about it, it's shockingly easy to just enjoy things and not worry about someone else being annoying about liking it as well.

muscles like this! posted:I was rewatching an older RLM video this morning and something that struck me was just how much better their production quality is over like 99% of other youtubers. Just from simple stuff like having multiple cameras and not relying on autofocus. I know this will sound reductive, but one of the key points for RLM versus most other shows is production and set design. In that they have it at all. Your living room is designed for watching TV, not for filming people talking about it. It's very hard to have a space naturally suited for shooting and lighting video unless you're gifted with a huge open-concept house, and even then you're going to have to move furniture. This is also why cooking youtubers either end up remodeling their kitchen or setting up a shooting space in the garage - it's hard to get a camera to see what you want it to see if you don't, and that's on a tight close-up of food. Once you've got multiple people in a shot, you need space that may not exist for putting a camera if you want to use your actual living room. When you start with an empty set and a camera in mind you can set that up, light and put the people where you want them to be and then fill out the rest of the set with details to avoid dead spots. When you start with an existing room you may not have that luxury. The single-YouTuber setup you can do - a Jenny Nicholson talking in front of a decorated bedroom, but once there's multiple cameras, people and any sort of movement and interaction in the set there's gonna be compromise. The RLM people know this, which is why they build sets for even mundane locations; it's more flexible to work with. Also, Space Cop would never have the richness of story and universe without it.

A mid-century science fiction franchise that’s continued to the present, reflecting changes in both popular concerns and methods of production? Doesn’t sound like anything I’d be into. Anyway, time to build another Gundam model.

Chris Davis continues his isometric CRPG series and here covers The Age of Decadence, a game made to pander to the sewer-dwellers from RPGcodex. He's not impressed with the juvenile behavior of the lead-developer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBt0qkrnzYA "In Age of Decadence, the un-charismatic nerd is somehow a charmer. Perhaps a bit of wish-fulfillment on the part of the dev there." Inspector Gesicht fucked around with this message at 20:45 on May 31, 2021 |

Every time I read about that game it's so utterly apparent that it was developed for that particular crowd. The entire design ethos seems to be about littering the RPG character building mechanics with as many minefields and pitfalls as possible and if you don't build a certain way then playing to that build perfectly you'll get utterly destroyed. I'm always on that quest to find a spiritual successor to Gothic where you start at the bottom of the barrel where acting like a jackass and action hero gets you whooped then slowly become a walking demi-god but some games just take it too far and replaces the "and then you become an engine of destruction, a supreme being that's unkillable" end-game with "eh, you went from scum to peon, you're still trash".
