I would have preferred British-accented Yuri Lowenthal as Jonathon but I'm still happy with it. JYB is cool but I figured he would have been Speedwagon. Apparently Bryce Pappenbrook is going to be Cesar.

What you meant is Jonathan should have been Brian Blessed.

That's a Japanese thing and it's very weird and disturbing by our standards but over there the connotations aren't quite the same. It's probably more to show innocence and purity rather than anything remotely sexual about it. I don't like it and wish it would go away too, but it is what it is.

Well yeah kind of. The point of that scene is obviously to make you feel very uncomfortable, and you're probably supposed to get an impression of a pretty heavy violation of personal space rather than any kind of "sexual tension" or whatever. Of course the scene plays on the reader's expectations though, be they Japanese or American or whoever.

I'm pretty sure it's just bathing with family.

I mean the trope, not the fact that it is Kira bathing with a child.

The scene ends witha guy killing a small child. So I think it's absolutely meant to come across as pretty hosed up.

Is the Japanese voice actor for Joseph putting on some ridiculous posh accent as well, which i can't pick up on since i don't speak Japanese? His Japanese voice sounded like he was a bit of a clown rather than some posh guy like that dub. It doesn't match the personality of the original.

"This taste...

Is it weird that I feel like how Jonathan was dubbed in the abridged series sounds more natural than the actual dub? JYB sounds great, don't get me wrong, but Abridged Jonathan sounds closer to what I pictured him sounding like. He's powerful, but he's supposed to sound "soft" to contrast with what he looks like.

No complaints about Seitz or Diskin, though.

I was wondering this too for awhile? Sugita's doing something weird with his Japanese but I can't really put a finger on what that is. Overemphasizing things to sound annoying on purpose?

It's not weird at all for parents and young children to bathe together in Japan and other parts of Asia, so that scene is more loving with what's supposed to be a normal parent-child interaction (you thought he was your dad, but it was actually a serial killer! and he's going to kill YOU!), but not in a sexual way.

Also I guess it plays on the whole "fear of bad poo poo going down while you're in the bathroom naked and defenseless" thing?

edit: I forgot this was the let's read part 4 thread! sorry!

Edit: all normies in here watch Gintama if you want more Sugita.

Sugita is also Mr.Satan in Dragon Ball Kai (and probably Super).

He's the best by default.

I guess #3 in the OP was going to happen after all.

What in the gently caress is wrong with you. There are so many things wrong with what you said that I don't even know where to start. Especially Koyasu being the best VA in the show when he's doing the same voice he does in literally everything he's in. It only works because Dio is hammy as gently caress in the source material not because Koyasu is good.

There's also the fact that Unshou Ishizuka doesn't do the voice he's known for and that people probably expected for Joseph. But that's pretty minor I suppose.

Sugita was 100% the most perfect casting possible for Joseph and if you can't see it I can only assume you're pretending to be retarded.

I know that, it is a bit common as well over here in my country. Well, at least it was because I have memories of bathing with my mother when I was a toddler. What freaks me out is the way it's played. Polnareff snuggling against a woman's boobs, Kira getting too close and...err...creepy . But I do get what the message of such scenes is.

I thought the scene with Poleneraff was creepy because of how it was presented. It was super uncomfortable to watch.

The other scene though, I thought it was perfect, because of how hosed up it was. It made you really hate him that much more.
