My niece is absolutely aggravating me. Due to an interesting day change, I get a few days off (hopefully). And I really could use a day for an appointment.

But what worried me was how much anger my mother's possibly harbored until last weekend. Enough to wish the death of Stink-Pest kind of like myself. If SHE was that angry, that just shows how much trouble that Stink-Pest is, and she's the type to believe in the Golden Rule.

It's funny how I worry about that and yet not my own character, and I continue to be irritated. No, second thought, I don't think I'll be changing soon. If love and support doesn't inspire another, then what's the point?

I'm so disgusted with what people get away with w/o remorse. No, it must be taking things for granted.

Hard to explain.

Trying to figure out what the new Sonic Memory entry should be about.

Continuing my Fishing quest in Breath of Fire three, I'm entering the big ones now (Size is 100cm and over!). Such as the following: Angler, Devilfish, Spearfish, etc. The Whale in Kombatant is going to be a total and utter pain. I HAVE YET to catch it, BUT I think it's harder to catch than in Breath of Fire 4. I think I hooked it before; when I did, it dragged my line and bait all the way to the side of the screen. What can I do?!

NICOVIDEO Blogger: Voice Actor Predictions

「月に変わってお仕置きよ！」 (IN THE NAME OF THE MOON, I'LL PUNISH YOU!)

Okay.

So, the Sailor Moon remake (anime) is going to air in the Winter of 2014. But we have nothing on it. No character designs, no info, just nothing. I hope that the studio is taking its careful time with it.

I probably talked about this before, but they may or may not bring back the original voice actors. The first anime was produced by Toei, a company that's the core of many popular shows that go down in history: Dragonball, Precure series, Gegege no Kitaro, Cyborg 009, Saint Seiya, Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin, DIGIMON, One Piece, Ojamajo Doremi.

Therefore! It may be likely that veterans are cast. Even if Digimon, veteran actors were given the main roles. Same with Toriko and ONE PIECE; even though, before the tv series, the ONE PIECE OVA has a different cast. PreCure casts many, but I think mostly as the baddies and the animal companions.

Cyborg 009 series is like TMNT series: Its cast changed each generation. So did Gegege, or is it just Kitaro's VA?

Dragonball is one of few series to actually maintain its original cast for years. Another is Conan, and Doreamon until later.

There is the other hand -- I still can't help but think that Sailor Moon may be passed to a new generation, to adapt today's anime, and so that new voice overs can follow their dream in being in a legendary anime. Also, some roles can't be helped, such as Kuznite (CV: Sogabe Kazuyuki, who is deceased) and Pluto (CV is retired). Saturn is on a hiatus; I think Mars (Tomizawa) is in and out ^-^;

That link above are just predictions (or wishes?) from a blogger. Or is it a big joke? Because someone picked Anno Hideaki for Sailor Moon (lol ^_^;). However, the person mentioned Anno being a fan of SM.

Inoue Marina and Sawashiro Miyuki are picked for Mars. Wouldn't Marina fit Jupiter? But Swashiro is also picked for Mercury.

A bit of bias here?

Also, Miyano Mamoru for...Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask? if he wasn't a subject of idol hogging. I guess the choice could've been Yuki Kaji However, FURUYA TORU is still listed ^_^; I still want Furuya because I want to hear Furuya be a jerk again, when Endymion is captured and turned. He was pretty creepy.

Heck, maybe the cast can get switched around. Maybe a mix of the old and new? What if Mitsuishi Kotono was someone like Sailor Venus rather than Sailor Moon?

I want virtually everyone to come back. Plus, I can see Takagi Wataru as a handsome bad guy again. He was the Black Moon Clan's Rubius.

VA Larry Kenny (Lion-O of Thundercats love that guy) did say once that what's the point of repeating something? Something along those lines, or "make something that's the same, sounds the same?" I understood.

But isn't the new SM going to be an adaptation closer to the manga? Wouldn't it be more like another chance?

I don't know. Just look at Dragonball Kai.

Horikawa, good luck!


Three English versions. A great example of voice changes and performance quality Vegeta just..makes me sick. Man...~_~; How can anyone find Funi DB good? At least Vegeta's? I don't care if I get flamed. That doesn't reflect pride or a prince-like air at all? It's not a nice testament to Horikawa Ryo either.

So what, are Piccolo and Vegeta wrestlers? Batman? On a personal level, even with dubbing, I try to see if I can tolerate it JUST a little. Because there are some things you can't imitate; as an actor, an imitation isn't what you should seek. It's how you know and portray the character.

But I seriously can't. I can't tolerate the Dragonball english dub. Teen Gohan I'm somewhat OK with.

Try to survive.

I got this from xlumierex. Here's the directions, quote:

Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

I think this is the second time I did this:

Here's the five Lumie gave me.

All done.

「フォーメーションうわぁーーーー！！！」(Formation UWA------------!)

Hi I'm back.

SekiToshi
Remember when I talked about Seki Toshihiko's birthday? I didn't want to make another entry about it, so instead I edited the previous ones with videos. I also have a SekiToshi gallery on one of my photobuckets. I need to update it.

http://doggiedynasty.livejournal.com/114584.html#cutid1

I also forgot to mention, the photo up there is Doi-sensei. Nice guy. I think his first name is "Hansuke"? I'll have to look.

CGI & Dubbing
In the same previous entry, I talked about Cats and Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore, at least a dubbing version. Dubbings really get me curious; I listen to German, Spanish, etc. Just to see how it turns out. Cause you know, you hear the voice of, say, Keanu Reeves, and you don't like expect him to sound different. Otherwide, there's a sense of incongruity.

Germany can make some nice dubbing.

Oh yeah, Takagi Wataru IS in the Cats and Dogs 2 Japanese dub. I can't remember the dog's name (Beet?) but its a science geek kind of guy.

Cats and Dogs looks kinda creepy. There's Toy Story with talking animals (toys) and there's this, that make it looks like real animals are talking and making very sharp facial expressions.

Reading Dedication
OK! It's doing bad.

Bad Acting and Directing
Just something I've been curious about. I don't mean B-flicks, but what about big names?
So Leonardo DiCaprio starred in a high grossing film recently and I am glad that he's doing well. Knowing that, I just remembering how he would get criticized on bad acting. Mainly from the girls -- who always love on Matt Damon and Johnny Depp.


MAPLESTORY: Boss Balrog
On MAPLESTORY, my warrior has reached level 51! YAY! I'm really surprised by my dedication towards things. I will count this as a strength. I have a feeling it may take me a year of my life just to get to Fourth Class. Maybe four to six months for Third Class on level 70. I can't wait to be a knight dangit.

So what happens on Level 50? ;(

I'll tell you what happens. BALROG! (Video here). Scary stuff!

So I'm gonna work on creating that Hero Gladius!. I already know what to do and I hope I can succeed. Hey, I could use a holy sword. It'll make me feel mighty and like an actual knight.

Oh! Edo Rocket!
I was watching a little Oh! Edo Rocket since it's coming to the U.S. Funny stuff.
Main character is, I think, the boy Tayaka Sekiichi. Sekiichi (Japan)...his voice I got mixed feelings on. It's quite funny. It feels kinda deep/rough at times; it's so unconventional, it makes me feel like "it's bad and good". ;) Somi, I know you can do it.

Before I go to bed, I'm gonna share this, since I'm such a big fan of the megaman series, especially their bosses. So, I've decided to look up and collect their seiyuu names, because of some reason I was always entralled by the Maverick's voices as brief as they were.

( Seiyuu of Megaman X Mavericks/Baddies? X8 is bizarre! )
