Kappei Yamaguchi as Crash Bandicoot | Tuesday, 05.23.2023
Did you know that Crash's Japanese seiyuu, Kappei Yamaguchi, dubbed him in Japanese versions of some of the games in the Crash Bandicoot series up until Crash Nitro Kart was released?
so im not sure if anyones interested, but, i went through quite a bunch of totk critiques by people who were also very disappointed with it and thought id share my favorite videos i found (granted, i only really wachted those that youtube recommened and its mostly .. white men... things like the orientalism problem are not mentioned at all for example, maybe ill update this post if i find any more diverse voices)
i dont agree with every single point and also dont know most of the channels (aside from the big zelda theory guys) so i judged solely by what they mentioned in those videos and the quality of it (like the audio .. bc i cant listen to bad audio)
in no particular order, also they talk about or use footage of the literal ending stuff so if you arent done with the game yet, better leave these for now

(the following one is a podcast thing by multiple zelda theory guys, there some stuff you can skip at the start thats just kidna random things, but the video is marked with chapters)

(theres some mention of some things not making sense, like the sonau only being two, and ithink thats kinda bc the english translation was weirdly vague about that, in the german version its much more directly said that they all died out and only rauru and mineru were left of them;
also mentions of how unfitting it is to call the enigma stones "secret"stones in english might come from a similar thing; in german they where called "Mysterienstein" which would be translated as mystic/mysterious/enigma- stone
just wanted to mention that since the vast majority are gonna play it in english only and the stuff online is also dominated by english)
A restaurant with an interesting name and logo! 山家 is usually read Yamaga (as it is here) or Yanbe, but it can also be Yamaya, Yamaka, Yamaie, Yamake, Yamabe, Yamauchi, Yanka, Sanbe, Sanga, or Sanke.
山 means mountain, and it’s read やま, サン, or セン.
家 means house or family. It can also refer to a specialty, expertise, or career. It's read いえ, や, うち, カ, or ケ.
And the triangle symbol between them is known as the triforce 三つ鱗 [みつうろこ], meaning three scales, or 北条家紋 [ほうじょうかもん] the family crest of the Hōjō clan. It was used in the Legend of Zelda games to represent electronic chips, because the game was apparently supposed to be set in the future, but they kept the symbol even after changing the premise. Huh!
*frothing at the mouth* hey did you guys know that. that the stage play of mob psycho 100 is incredible. like it's not just a cheesy production it genuinely is just as carefully-thought-out as an adaptation of the manga as the show was. did you know it makes Teru even more human than he already was. did you know that the way they do Dimple is actually incredibly believable. I died laughing at the physical comedy bits about nine times. ueah. stageplay
against my better judgement im watching a reupload of the lily dunmeshi vid and seeing how she starts off her vid ranting abt how much she hates her own fanbase again really reminded me how like. ngl i feel like watching her vids contributed a lot to my mental health issues as a teen lmao
I know most of our focus goes (rightfully) to the trial songs, but I genuinely believe Baptism of Fire is equally a masterpiece of meaningful writing and intense vocal acting
Incoming tag rant because I need to yell about this, feel free to yell back
