Apparently my two types of genshin ship are "wholesome best friends" and "annoying person x annoyed person who still loves them"

Where these two overlap is xingyun

Future Diary Radio TL

Here’s the (long time coming) update on the Future Diary Radio CDs! I’m sorry it took so long to finish this project, as always, school has me on a chokehold, but I’m glad to say the translations are finally done! In case you missed the original post, the Future Diary Radio CDs are an obscure piece of media from Future Diary that include commentary from some of the show’s voice actors, regarding their experiences voicing the characters and opinions about the series. You can now find the three tracks with the translated subtitles on my Youtube channel (daisynilla) or on the links down below. Special thanks to @iwanpepsu, @syrpai and @the-chosen-blood-teller for helping me gather the tracks from the radio CDs.

And on a semi-related note, I also wanted to use this post to comment on a couple of things that came up while doing research for this project.

1. In all of the three Radio CDs, the voice actors mention something about a live concert that happened at Shibuya AX on July 29th. I'm not sure how well-known this concert and the music featured in it are among the fandom, but given how much it is talked about in the radio CDs (and how much information I gathered on it incidentally), I figure I should make a separate post dedicated to that. Especially because of… this: 

2. On one of the Radio CDs, there was a mention of the DVD cast commentaries done by the Japanese voice actors. I don't own the DVD, but I was accidentally sent the audio for these Japanese cast commentaries in response to my last post about the Radio CDs. For my sanity’s sake, I’m not translating this, (I feel like the radio CDs are a good enough stand-in for the cast commentaries) but given its mention, I wanted to provide some of the context surrounding it. Like your regular cast commentaries on any DVD’s bonus features, the voice actors share their comments of the show as they watch the episodes. The order of the voice actors featured in each episode goes as follows:

Episodes 1-2: feature commentary from Misuzu Togashi (Yukki’s VA) and Tomosa Murata (Yuno’s VA).

Episodes 3-5: Aizawa Mai (Minene’s VA, ps her voice is so high it caught me off guard), Kawahara Yoshihisa (12th’s VA) and Sendai Eri (Tsubaki’s VA).

Episodes 6-8: Sanada Asami (Reisuke’s VA) and Mizuhara Kaoru (Rea’s VA).

Episodes 9-11: Ishida Akira (Akise’s VA), Matsuoka Yuki (Hinata’s VA) and Hiramatsu Hirokazu (10th’s VA).

Episodes 12-14: Ishii Makoto (Nishijima’s VA) and Tanaka Masahiko (Kurusu’s VA).

Episodes 15-17: Seki Tomokazu (Marco’s VA) and Kuwatani Natsuko (Ai’s VA).

Episodes 18-20: Yukana (Mao’s VA) and Shiraishi Minoru (Kousaka’s VA).

Episodes 21-23: Inada Tetsu (Ryuji’s VA, aka 11th’s secretary) and Konno Hiromi (8th’s VA).

Episodes 24-26: Domon Jin (3rd’s VA) and Honda Manami (MurMur’s VA).

(Also, I'm pretty sure the English version of the DVD includes cast commentaries too, but I don't know if those are the Japanese cast commentaries with translated subtitles or if it's commentary from the American cast… probably the latter, but I guess I’ll have to look a little deeper into that.)

[lanliingwang]

I've once entertained the idea of Sakura summoning Gil in a Holy Grail War AU bc VA allusions are something dumb I'll always constantly latch onto, but consider: Toya summoning Gil (either Archer Gil or CasGil or the younger Archer Gil tbh) or like. Mozart. or Moses tbh

[saeitoshi]

okay but katakuri’s voice is 👌👌👌

tags: ayato is tomo, past tomokazu, past/current thomato, getting together thomakazu or whatever the ship name is lmao, some established stuff, memory loss, canon divergence aka i manipulate lore and timelines to suit my story

--

He has Ayato back. He should be thrilled.

Ayato finally returns to the Kamisato estate after disappearing for a year - and nearly getting himself killed by the Raiden Shogun herself. And Thoma should be happy that he's returned, even if he's lost his memory along with his Vision. Even if he says a name in his sleep, one that isn't Thoma's.

Concept for an anime series:

SYNOPSIS: 

An adaptation of “Spider-Man”, but with the setting changed to Tokyo, Japan. The adaptation pulls elements from various versions of “Spider-Man”, from the 1970s Japanese TV show to the comics and to the live-action movies. 

CAST:

1) Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado from “Demon Slayer”) as Takuya Yamashiro, the Japanese version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. This version of Peter is mostly the same, but with some elements of the 1970s Japanese Spider-Man, such as Takuya’s love of motocross racing. 

2) Aoi Koga (Kaguya Shinomiya from “Kaguya-Sama: Love is War”) as Hitomi Sakuma, the Japanese version of Mary Jane Watson.

3) Chiaki Omigawa (Maka Albarn from “Soul Eater”) as Nico Minoru. In this version, Nico is Peter’s goth best friend who is the first person to discover his secret identity. Nico has her own character arc centered on her family’s connection to the magic world.

4) Yuki Kaji (Shoto Todoroki from “My Hero Academia”) as the Japanese version of Harry Osborn. In typical shonen anime fashion, Harry is the protagonist’s main rival.

5) Kazuhiko Inoue (Kakashi Hatake from “Naruto”) as the Japanese version of Uncle Ben

6) Masako Katsuki (Tsunade from “Naruto”) as the Japanese version of Aunt May

7) Tomokazu Seki (Sanemi Shinazugawa from “Demon Slayer”) as the Japanese version of Curt Connors aka the Lizard. The Lizard is the first story arc main villain.

8) Kazuya Nakai (Roronoa Zoro from “One Piece”) as the Japanese version of J. Jonah Jameson 

[just--another--daydreamer]

apparently pucci's VA is gilgamesh's VA

how are you doing?

I- uhhh- I'm fine?

Tomokazu Seki voices not only Gilgamesh in Fate but also Kougami in Psycho Pass. Aka the two 2D anime men I simp for the most out of all

But that doesn't mean anything, I don't automatically simp for characters voiced by him

Voice claims for Sonic characters

If I could hire voice actors/actresses to play the characters in my Sonic fanfics, these are the ones I’d choose.

Okay, not exactly, since some of the VAs I’m going to mention have already died or just wouldn’t be able to play these roles for some other reason. In those cases, I'd mention them just to give some rough idea of what I imagine the Sonic characters would sound like.

Sonic:

Jason Griffith (Sonic on Sonic & the Black Knight and Sonic & the Secret Rings, both in English): the way Sonic was portrayed there was great and truly novel, Griffith's work was good, he totally nailed it in both games, and his work elsewhere wasn't too bad actually.

Jun'ichi Kanemaru (Sonic on the entire Sonic series in Japanese): something striking about Japanese Sonic is that he sounds “cool”, bold and cheeky but at the same time calm and relaxed, as if he didn't need to make an extra effort to look and sound “cool”, as if it really came naturally to him and wasn’t a mask; besides, his Engrish is wonderfully hilarious.

Masami Kikuchi (Sonic on the 1996 Sonic OVA in Japanese).

Martin Burke (Sonic on the 1996 Sonic OVA in English): he sounds great when acting more eccentric, like when he says that famous line to Metal Sonic: “You might know everything I’m going to do, but that’s not going to help you since I know everything you’re going to do! Strange, isn’t it?”.

Ryan Drummond (Sonic on the Adventure saga in English): his performance seems to be quite divisive in the fandom, but I personally never had much of a problem with how he played Sonic; at worst, if Sonic in English sounded so bad in the Adventure saga, it was the voice directors' fault.

Tomokazu Suigata (young Joseph Joestar on the anime of JoJo Part 2 in Japanese): his voice would sound a little deeper sometimes but would still have its own charm, and he could also make Sonic speak Kanemaru's Engrish; Burke’s English Sonic sounds pretty similar to Japanese young Joseph, too.

Benjamin Diskin (young Joseph Joestar on the anime of JoJo Part 2 in English): he’d make for a more cheeky Sonic, and it might sound a little deeper than usual but would still sound great and also smooth.

Yasunori Matsumoto (Knuckles on the 1996 Sonic OVA in Japanese): for a more serious Sonic, someone who doesn’t try so hard to be a walking advertising slogan.

Nobutoshi Canna (Knuckles on the Adventure saga in Japanese): a similar case to that of Matsumoto.

“Otaku.D Furiku”, aka “2GS”, aka “Slick Goku” (Slick Goku on his videos and on Dragon Ball Gohanverse by “Daitomodachi”): for Sonic’s “Werehog” form, but with more control over himself and a more “gangstah” style.

Tails:

Daiki Yamashita (Izuku Midoriya on Boku no Hero Academia & Narancia Ghirga on the anime of JoJo Part 5, both in Japanese): he'd be great to give Tails that "best boy" vibe that is usually attributed to him in official media; Yamashita also makes his characters sound badass and adorable at the same time when they get pissed off and start swearing.

Yūki Kaji (Kōichi Hirose on the anime of JoJo Part 4 in Japanese): a case similar to that of Yamashita.

Lawrence Simpson, aka "MasakoX" (kid & pre-teen Gohan on Dragon Ball Z Abridged): I tend to think that, after the events of Sonic SatAM (for example, in Archie-Sonic), Tails should have been portrayed as someone slightly more serious, hardened from having grown up in the middle of a war, with some suppressed rage originating from some experiences both during and after the war against the original Robotnik, and usually a bit reserved, except when he explodes and becomes uncontrollable, a situation in which he also reveals great potential untapped until then; Gohan is quite similar -at least in Abridged-, and I know it's partly a parody but still I love how the Gohan of “MasakoX” in the final battle against Cell sounds so serious, even a little scary at times, while still sounding like a child.

Colleen Clinkenbeard (kid & pre-teen Gohan on Dragon Ball Z Kai in English, Funimation dub, and on the videogames Kakarot and FighterZ, also in English).

Ai Orikasa (Rock/Mega Man on Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 in Japanese).

Ayaka Fukuhara (Rock/Mega Man on Rockman 11/Mega Man 11 in Japanese).

Minami Takayama (Conan Edogawa on Detective Conan, Kitarō on the 2007 anime of GeGeGe no Kitarō, and Knuckle Joe on Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, all three of them in Japanese).

Kate Higgins (Tails on Sonic Colors, Lost World & Generations in English): I really like how she makes Tails sound truly like a pre-teen or an early teenager, with a voice naturally high-pitched but a bit raspy due to the changes in his age; that's also why, among the VAs who have played Tails before and are able to do it again, Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Tails on the entire Sonic Boom spin-off in English) is a close second.

Giorgia Venditti (kid & pre-teen Gohan on Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”).

Connor & Corey Bringas (Tails on the Adventure saga in English): of all the official VAs for Tails, they sounded the best, but that's to be expected if you hire pre-teens (something problematic by itself) to play a pre-teen character, and now it'd no longer be possible to make any of them reprise their role.

Natsumi Takamori (kid Jotaro on the anime of JoJo Part 3 in Japanese): for when kid Tails goes edgy.

Marina Inoue (Wataru Tachibana on Hayate no Gotoku! in Japanese): for when kid Tails gets a bit moody or sullen.

Miyuki Sawashiro (Kitarō on the 2018 anime of GeGeGe no Kitarō in Japanese): when Tails is still heroic and deeply cares about others deep down, despite being easily consumed by anger, but is also usually rather aloof and blunt.

Megumi Ogata (Yūgi Mutō on the 1998 anime of Yu-Gi-Oh! made by Toei -often called “Season Zero”- in Japanese): for the Tails from Sonic Heroes, supposedly 8 years old, but as badass as the Adventure saga’s Tails.

Masako Nozawa (kid Goku on the original Dragon Ball anime and Kitarō in the 1968 & 1971 animes of GeGeGe no Kitarō, both in Japanese): a case similar to that of Megumi Ogata.

Yumiko Kobayashi (Rock/Mega Man on Rockman Rockman/Mega Man Powered Up in Japanese): sounds really similar to Masako Nozawa's kid Goku.

Stephanie Nadolny (kid Goku on the original Dragon Ball anime in English, Funimation dub): better suited to voice a 12-year-old Tails; after all, the Goku whom she played in his fight against Krillin was already supposed to be 15 years old.

Saffron Henderson & Jillian Michaels (kid & pre-teen Gohan respectively on Dragon Ball Z in English, Ocean dub).

Older Tails:

Yūki Ono (Josuke Higashikata on the anime of JoJo Part 4 in Japanese): for a Tails older (16 to 18 years old) but still cheerful and with some remaining "best boy" vibes.

Mayumi Tanaka (Krillin on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese): a case similar to that of Yūki Ono, but for a Tails only a few years older (let's say, about 14 or 15 years old).

Megumi Ogata (Yami Yūgi on the 1998 anime of Yu-Gi-Oh! made by Toei -often called “Season Zero”- in Japanese): for when Tails, either as a teenager or as a kid, starts acting more sinister but still fights on the good guys’ side.

Matthew Erickson (Trunks on Dragon Ball GT in English, Blue Water dub).

Kenshō Ono (Giorno Giovanna on the anime of JoJo Part 5 in Japanese).

Sean Chiplock (Subaru Natsuki on Re:ZERO in English): for a more nervous, somewhat less mentally stable, mid-teen Tails.

Patrick Seymour (Commander Torque on Freedom Planet).

"Jinxd4Ev3r": there's a Sonic fan-game in development, Tails Adventure: Armada, of which a demo prototype was recently released for the SAGExpo 2020; Twitter user "Jinxd4Ev3r" is in charge of writing the script, but for that demo, he did Tails's voice too and it came out pretty well in my opinion (his voice lines are among the prototype’s files and he also played Tails on a pretty short video); I don't know if he plans to play Tails again, either in later demos or in the final release.

Matthew Mercer (Jotaro Kujo on the anime of JoJo Parts 3 to 5 in English): for when grown-up Tails goes edgy.

Shannon McCormick (Washington on Red vs. Blue): for a more stable, judicious and already grown-up adult Tails.

Lodovico Zago (Emo Gohan on Dragon Ball Gohanverse by “Daitomodachi”, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”): for an already grown-up adult Tails who, on the other hand, hasn’t healed from past trauma.

Sally Acorn:

Elsa Covián (Sally on the Latin-American Spanish dub of Sonic SatAM).

Dawn M. Bennett (Sash Lilac on Freedom Planet).

Kara Eberle (Weiss Schnee on RWBY): on the Rooster Teeth podcasts, I've heard her speak “normally” when she's being herself; if there was some way to mix that with her portrayal of Weiss, she'd be perfect for playing Sally.

Jen Brown (Carolina on Red vs. Blue).

Miyuki Sawashiro (Jolyne Cujoh on the game JoJo: Eyes of Heaven): for a more irreverent, less "princess" Sally.

Jennifer Bain (Android 18 on Dragon Ball GT in English, Blue Water dub).

Tamara Ryan (Android 18 on Dragon Ball Super in English, Bang Zoom! dub).

Nicole the Lynx:

Ruth Toscano (Nicole on the Latin-American Spanish dub of Sonic SatAM): recommended for when Nicole was just a handheld computer.

Victoria Vitti (Syntax & Pangu on Freedom Planet): just like with Ruth Toscano.

Taylor McNee (Penny Polendina on RWBY).

Yomary Cruz (Sheila on Red vs. Blue).

“Ashie-Kins”: this Twitter user made a good Nicole voice on some animations made by “Chauvels”.

Shard the Metal Sonic:

Andrew Boa, aka "TheMajinV": made a good Shard voice on some animations made by Chauvels.

Bunnie Rabbot:

Barbara Dunkelman (Yang Xiao-Long on RWBY).

Corinne Sudberg, aka "Megami33" (Bulma on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Wendee Lee (Bulma on Dragon Ball Super in English, Bang Zoom! dub).

Irma Carmona (Bunnie on the Latin-American Spanish dub of Sonic SatAM).

Antoine D’Coolette:

Geoff Ramsey (Grif on Red vs. Blue): for a less serious Antoine but without turning into comedy relief again.

Shigeru Nakahara (Android 17 on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese): for when Antoine is much more serious but sounds a bit distracted.

Hiro Shimono (Zenitsu Agatsuma on Kimetsu no Yaiba in Japanese): for when he’s more visibly nervous.

SungWon Cho, aka "ProZD" (Whis on some short videos of Dragon Ball Z Abridged): for an Antoine slightly more cheerful, still mannered and rather calm but without being a total coward or becoming comedy relief again.

Michael T. Coleman & Shinji Kawada (Tundra Man on Rockman 11/Mega Man 11 in English & Japanese respectively): for a rather flamboyant Antoine.

Rotor Walrus:

Gus Sorola (Simmons on Red vs. Blue).

Wataru Takagi (lots and lots of different, varied roles in Japanese).

Ben Creighton, aka "Hbi2k" (Nail on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

"lizardman234": this DeviantArt user made a good Rotor voice on some animations made by Chauvels.

Joshua Tomar, aka "Tomamoto" (Beerus on some short videos of Dragon Ball Z Abridged): for a more grumpy Rotor.

Charles Hedgehog, aka "Uncle Chuck":

Shōzō Iizuka (Doctor Light on Super Adventure Rockman & Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 in Japanese).

Unshō Ishizuka (old Joseph Joestar on the anime of JoJo Part 3 in Japanese).

Knuckles:

Nobutoshi Canna (Knuckles on the Adventure saga in Japanese).

Yasunori Matsumoto (Knuckles on the 1996 Sonic OVA in Japanese).

Scott Dreier (Knuckles on Sonic Adventure 2 in English): he's my favourite English official voice actor for Knuckles; Michael McGaharn from Adventure 1 is a close second, specifically for his Knuckles voice on the trial demo of Adventure 1 for the 1999 E3 expo; Canna is still better than both of them, though.

Takeshi Kuzao (Future Trunks on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Ryō Horikawa (Vegeta on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Nobuyuki Hiyama (Forte/Bass on Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 in Japanese): Bass really is Mega Man's Vegeta, and Hiyama truly made him sound like that.

Shadow:

Kōji Yusa (Shadow on the entire Sonic series in Japanese).

Toshio Furukawa (Piccolo on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

David Humphrey (Shadow on Sonic Adventure 2 in English).

Katsuyuki Konishi (Captain Ginyu on Dragon Ball Z Kai & Super in Japanese).

Daniel Woren (Piccolo on the game Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout in English).

Sean Chiplock (Spade on Freedom Planet).

Riccardo Ricobello (Tien Shin Han on Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”): for when Shadow isn't grumpy.

Nick Landis, aka "Lanipator" (Vegeta on Dragon Ball Z Abridged): for a more emotional -I mean, more visibly angry- version of Shadow.

Hideyuki Tanaka (Jonathan Joestar on the Play Station 2 game of JoJo Part 1 in Japanese): for Shadow when he was living with Maria, before being put in stasis.

Ryōtarō Okiayu (Blues/Proto Man on Super Adventure Rockman & Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 and Zero on the Rockman X/Mega Man X games, both in Japanese): for a Shadow who's already opening to his friends.

Amy Rose:

Samantha Ireland (Nora Valkyrie on RWBY).

Jeannie Tirado (Android 21 (Good) on Dragon Ball FighterZ in English): for an Amy Rose a little more different from the videogames’ version (after having overcome her crush on Sonic, for example).

Hiromi Tsuru & Aya Hisakawa (Bulma on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Julie-Su:

Kei Shindō (Kyōka Jirō on Boku no Hero Academia in Japanese).

Colleen Clinkenbeard (Momo Yaoyorozu on Boku no Hero Academia in English).

Trina Nishimura (Kyōka Jirō on Boku no Hero Academia in English).

Vector:

The YouTuber “DevilArtemis” (Captain Ginyu on his videos).

Chris Hackney (Blast Man on Rockman 11/Mega Man 11 in English).

Robert Bruce Elliot (Captain Ginyu on Dragon Ball Z Kai & Super in English, Funimation dub).

Curtis Arnott, aka “Takahata101” (Nappa on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Yukimasa Kishino (Burter on Dragon Ball Z in Japanese).

Hideyuki Hori (Captain Ginyu on Dragon Ball Z in Japanese).

Espio:

Sho Hayami & Hiroaki Miura (Zarbon on Dragon Ball Z & Z Kai respectively, both in Japanese): please don’t confuse Japanese Zarbon with Abridged Zarbon, they’re totally different (both are good, though).

Hikaru Midorikawa (Tien Shin Han on Dragon Ball Z Kai & Super in Japanese).

Charmy:

Daiki Yamashita (Izuku Midoriya on Boku no Hero Academia & Narancia Ghirga on the anime of JoJo Part 5, both in Japanese): imagine Yamashita’s Midoriya or Narancia with Abridged Vegeta’s personality, mannerisms, pride and anger management problems, and you’ll know how I’d prefer Charmy to sound.

Kazumi Tanaka & Daisuke Kishio (Jeice on Dragon Ball Z & Dragon Ball Z Kai respectively in Japanese): a case similar to Yamashita's, but with an older Charmy.

Minami Takayama (Knuckle Joe on Kirby: Right Back at Ya! in Japanese).

Chika Sakamoto (Clown Man on Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 in Japanese): the videogames' Charmy, but a bit less annoying.

Mighty the Armadillo:

Marc Soskin, aka "GanXingba" (Tien Shin Han on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Chris Cason (Tien Shin Han on Dragon Ball Z -until the end of the Ginyu saga- in English, Funimation dub).

Hirokata Suzuoki (Tien Shin Han on every Dragon Ball series -minus Z Kai & Super- in Japanese).

The YouTuber “Prince Vegeta” (Gohan Absalon on Dragon Ball Gohanverse de “Daitomodachi”).

Mattia Giardinello (Gohan Absalon on Dragon Ball Gohanverse de “Daitomodachi”, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”).

Ray the Flying Squirrel:

Cathy Weseluck (Chiaotzu on Dragon Ball Z in English, Ocean dub).

Fiona Fox:

Monica Rial (Bulma on Dragon Ball Z Kai & Super in English, Funimation dub): for a more cheerful Fiona (for example, before meeting Scourge).

Marina Inoue (Yoko Littner on Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann on Japanese): for the aforementioned “happy Fiona” but in Japanese.

Arryn Zech (Blake Belladonna on RWBY): for a more serious Fiona (for example, after having escaped out of Scourge's abuse).

Kathleen Zuelch (Tex on Red vs. Blue): for a rather serious Fiona, too.

The YouTuber "Bulma Bunny" (Caulifla & Kefla in the videos made by "DevilArtemis"): for when Fiona unleashes her sassy and brash side.

Yuka Komatsu (Caulifla on Dragon Ball Super in Japanese): for when Fiona unleashes her Japanese sassy and brash side.

Yukana Nogami (Kale on Dragon Ball Super in Japanese): if Fiona escapes from Scourge's abuse and also gains powers of her own, a good parallel could be drawn between her and Kale, this version of Fiona being someone with a good heart and concerned about her friends but also rather insecure, with trouble managing emotions and specifically with pent-up anger due to all the pain Robotnik and Scourge inflicted on her in the past.

Rouge:

Rumi Ochiai (Rouge on the entire Sonic series in Japanese).

Amber Lee Connors, aka "Shudo Ranmaru" (Android 18 on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Elizabeth Maxwell (Caulifla on Dragon Ball Super in English, Funimation dub): for a not-so-seductive, maybe a bit angrier Rouge.

Blaze:

Nao Takamori (Blaze on the entire Sonic series in Japanese).

Erica Schroeder, aka “Bella Hudson” (Blaze on the Sonic Rush saga in English).

Serena Bellussi (Android 18 on Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”).

Silver:

Scott Frerichs, aka "KaiserNeko" (Future Trunks on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Eric Vale (Future Trunks on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in English, Funimation dub).

Kazuyuki Okitsu (Jonathan Joestar on the anime of JoJo Part 1 in Japanese).

Giovanni Pizzigoni (Future Trunks on Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”).

Tasuku Hatanaka (Blast Man on Rockman 11/Mega Man 11 in Japanese).

Pete Capella (Silver on the Sonic videogames since Sonic 2006 until Sonic & the Black Knight (as Sir Galahad) included, all in English).

Daisuke Ono (Silver on the entire Sonic series in Japanese): Japanese Silver doesn't sound at all like the English dubs' Silver many of us are used to, but on second thought, Daisuke Ono would be the best fit to play someone from a post-apocalyptic future (Pete Capella's Silver is still good, but as a different variant of the same character archetype).

Amadeus Prower:

Yuichi Nakamura (Bruno Bucciarati on the anime of JoJo Part 5 in Japanese).

Hikaru Midorikawa (Tien Shin Han on Dragon Ball Z Kai & Super in Japanese).

Riccardo D’Aquino (Piccolo on Dragon Ball Gohanverse by “Daitomodachi”, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”).

Rosemary Prower:

Kate Higgins: for a Rosemary who, despite having one or two major flaws, is actually well-meaning, courageous and loves his son.

Masako Nozawa: for the Japanese version of the “good Rosemary” I described above.

Kathleen Zuelch (Glynda Goodwitch on RWBY): for a more serious, calm, level-headed and less openly affectionate version of the “good Rosemary”.

Kathleen Delaney (Rouge on Sonic X in English): for the "alpha b**** Rosemary" from the official Archie-Sonic comics; Delaney would sound better if she played a villain (albeit a quite secondary one in this case), to be honest.

Geoffrey Saint-John (Chauvels’s version of Geoff, somewhat flawed but overall more tolerable and genuinely good):

Takashi Nagasako (Tengu Man on Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 in Japanese).

Marc Soskin, aka "GanXingba" (Jeice on Dragon Ball Z Abridged): excellent for parodying his Australian accent.

Chuck Huber (Android 17 on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in English, Funimation dub).

Jason Douglas (Beerus on Dragon Ball Super in English, Funimation dub).

King Acorn (the SatAM version and Nigel Acorn from post-reboot Archie-Sonic):

Remix (Kami after being resurrected on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Nobuo Tobita (Doctor Light on Rockman 11/Mega Man 11 in Japanese).

King Acorn (Maximillian Acorn from pre-reboot Archie-Sonic):

Jason Douglas (Jacques Schnee on RWBY).

Kōji Yada (Doctor Gero, aka “Android 20”, on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Kent Williams (Doctor Gero, aka “Android 20”, on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in English, Funimation dub).

Gerardo Reyero (Frieza -except on his 3rd form- on the entire Dragon Ball franchise -minus Dragon Ball Z Kai- in Latin-American Spanish).

IXIS Naugus:

Nobuo Tanaka (Dio Brando on the 1993 OVA of JoJo Part 3 in Japanese): on the old JoJo OVA, he sounded too old for a character like Dio, but would be ideal to play an experienced sorcerer like Naugus.

James Marsters (Zamasu on Dragon Ball Super in English, Funimation dub): either for a younger Naugus or for the current old Naugus pretending to be younger and more polite.

The same ones as for King Max.

Doctor Finitevus:

Norio Wakamoto (Perfect Cell on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Ryūsei Nakao (Frieza on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Curtis Arnott, aka "Takahata101" (Perfect Cell on Dragon Ball Z Abridged): for a more eloquent, elegant, charismatic Finitevus who doesn't make his genocidal intentions so obvious (until he finally loses his cool, obviously).

Masako Nozawa (Goku Black on Dragon Ball Super in Japanese): for a Finitevus similar to Arnott's Cell, but colder and calmer (until he finally also loses his cool, obviously).

Shin-Ichiro Miki (Zamasu on Dragon Ball Super in Japanese): also for a calmer and colder Finitevus, either when he pretends to be sane or before the accident that turned him into the villain he currently is.

José Gilberto Vilchis (Zamasu on Dragon Ball Super in Latin-American Spanish).

Anti-Sonic, aka “Scourge”:

Andrew Chaikin, aka "Kid Beyond" (Dio Brando on the 1993 OVA of JoJo Part 3 in English).

Brian Drummond (Vegeta on Dragon Ball Z in English, Ocean dub).

D. C. Douglas (Yoshikage Kira on the anime of JoJo Part 4 in English): for a calmer Scourge, more convincing as a villain.

Patrick Seitz (Endeavor on Boku no Hero Academia & Dio Brando on the anime of JoJo Parts 1 & 3, both in English): for a more monstrous, "unleashed" Scourge.

Nobuyuki Hiyama (Forte/Bass on Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 in Japanese).

Ethan Cole (Android 17 on Dragon Ball GT in English, Blue Water dub).

Isshin Chiba (Dio Brando on the arcade game JoJo: Heritage for the Future).

Shin-Ichiro Miki (Fused Zamasu on Dragon Ball Super in Japanese): for the theoretical D. C. Douglas's Scourge, but once he's become much more powerful (by going Super, for example) and indulges some kind of God Complex.

Takehito Koyasu (Dio Brando on the anime of JoJo Parts 1 & 3 in Japanese): actually, Scourge would have to be an even more compelling villain -let's say, a more "majestic" one- to be worthy of such a voice actor.

Miles Prower of Moebius, aka “Anti-Tails”:

Sean Chiplock (Prince Dail on Freedom Planet).

“KALSKingdom” (Gohan Black on Dragon Ball Gohanverse by “Daitomodachi”).

Giorgia Venditti (Gohan Black on Dragon Ball Gohanverse by “Daitomodachi”, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”).

Nobuhiko Okamoto (Katsuki Bakugō on Boku no Hero Academia & Ghiaccio on the anime of JoJo Part 5, both in Japanese): for a more irate, short-tempered Anti-Tails.

Johnny Yong Bosch (Jonathan Joestar on the anime of JoJo Part 1 in English): for his really few moments of selflessness.

Alicia Acorn of Moebius, aka “Anti-Sally”:

Ashlyn Selich (Neera-Li on Freedom Planet).

Meredith McCoy & Enuka Okuma (Android 18 on every Dragon Ball TV series -minus Z Kai- in English, Funimation and Ocean dubs respectively).

Miki Itō (Android 18 on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Robotnik/Eggman:

Jim Cummings (Robotnik on Sonic SatAM in English).

Maynardo Zavala (Robotnik on the Latin-American Spanish dub of Sonic SatAM).

Deem Bristow (Eggman on the Adventure saga in English): he sounds quite sinister in some scenes, which reminds me a lot of Jim Cummings' version.

Takeshi Aono (Doctor Wily on Super Adventure Rockman & Rockman 8/Mega Man 8 in Japanese): his version of Wily is pretty much Bristow's Eggman in Japanese, and it sounds awesome, especially when he laughs.

Mike Pollock (Eggman on Emi Jones's web-audio-series Sonic & Tails R): I usually disliked his work on the videogames, but Sonic & Tails R made me change my mind; Pollock managed to sound a lot like Bristow's Eggman sometimes.

Chris Guerrero, aka "General-Ivan" (Doctor Gero, aka “Android 20”, on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Brian Dobson (Doctor Gero, aka “Android 20”, on Dragon Ball Z in English, Ocean dub).

Chikao Ōtsuka (Eggman on the Adventure saga in Japanese): only for the videogames' Eggman.

Hideyuki Umezu (Doctor Wily on Rockman 11/Mega Man 11 in Japanese): could have been perfect to replace Ōtsuka.

Snively:

Daman Mills & Chris Ayres (Frieza on Dragon Ball Super in English, Funimation dub).

Martin Piers Billany, aka “Little Kuriboh” (Frieza on Dragon Ball Z Abridged).

Keith Silverstein (Doctor Wily on Rockman 11/Mega Man 11 in English).

Marc Soskin, aka "GanXingba" (Android 17 on Dragon Ball Z Abridged): it might seem odd to pick A-17 as an example of what someone like Snively should sound like, given that he's almost totally bald and his voice in Sonic SatAM didn't make him look very young, while A-17 was most likely a teenager or in his early 20s when Doctor Gero turned him into a cyborg; however, canonically Snively is quite young, roughly the same age as A-17.

Riccardo Ricobello (Android 17 on Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”).

Ted Cole (Android 17 on Dragon Ball Z in English, Ocean dub).

Mammoth Mogul:

Norio Wakamoto (Perfect Cell on the entire Dragon Ball franchise in Japanese).

Toshiyuki Morikawa (Yoshikage Kira on the anime of JoJo Part 4 in Japanese).

Katsuyuki Konishi (Diavolo on the anime of JoJo Part 5 in Japanese).

Hikaru Midorikawa (Dio Brando on the Play Station 2 game and the 2007 lost movie of JoJo Part 1, both in Japanese).

Kōichi Yamadera (Beerus on Dragon Ball Super in Japanese).

James Marsters (Fused Zamasu on Dragon Ball Super in English, Funimation dub): if Mogul tries to achieve divinity, I think it’s very likely that sooner or later he'll use his powers to regain his lost youth à la King Piccolo or even create a totally different, brand new body to transfer his consciousness to it; in any of those cases, the English voice of Fused Zamasu may be the fittest.

José Gilberto Vilchis (Fused Zamasu on Dragon Ball Super in Latin-American Spanish): the same as Marsters's Fused Zamasu.

Ivan Anoè (Perfect Cell on Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Italian dub by “ZeroMic”): a case similar to that of Marsters.

Regina Ferrum, the Iron Queen:

Kathleen Delaney (Rouge on Sonic X in English): as I already said, Delaney would sound better if she played a villain.

イケメン源氏伝〜弁慶

Musashibo Benkei (CV: Seki Tomokazu)

Manly x Helpful

(Aka: Obsessively devoted to Yoshitsune)

Haha! ✨💕 i chose him first.

[drowningotometrash]

Because I’m currently obsessing over Love and Producer (Mr Love Queen’s Choice), I HAVE to rant all about it, and what better place than here lol. I never really thought I’d be this into it as I saw waaaaaay too many ads for it prerelease. I was actually like “mehhhhh I’ll think about it”, until my friend mentioned she liked it and I was bored.

Love and Producer is a Chinese game that has blown up quite a bit in the Chinese community. The taiwan ver was released late last year, approximately a year after the initial release in China, and is also the version I’m playing. You can choose VAs of all versions in the settings, currently there’s Mainland Chinese, Taiwan and Japanese. The Japanese release of the game is actually slated for 2019, but you can already choose the Japanese VA. And despite me usually liking Japanese voice acting, I SWEAR you’ve got to go with the mainland Chinese ver for this game. It simply is a lot more natural and flows a lot better. And note, the music is AMAZING in this game, I’m utterly obsessed. And the card illustrations and CGs are glorious.

Unlike quite a lot of otome games, the charm of Love and Producer for me is the plot. Like Mystic Messenger, L&P is quite plot heavy. In fact, there are 21 chapters released thus far in the Chinese ver (14 for the TW ver) and the first 10 still feels like the prologue, though I’ve heard it gets quite angsty later on.

The plot revolves around you as a producer of TV shows. You’re in charge of the production company that your father has left behind, and it’s steadily loosing viewership. Through various events you come to meet 4 men and they all seem to be interested or know you. You have dreams that you can’t explain and some parts of your memories are obviously suppressed. Eitherway you come to learn of Evolvers, humans with the Evol gene which makes them super human, and that an organisation is trying to capture and harm these people.

There are only four date-able characters, and they each play a significant role in the plot. Rather than say that the game is for you to “date” the 4 guys, occasionally it feels more like a story about people with super powers. In fact you learn more about the characters through side dates with them than the actual main plot line. Though I’ve heard later on you do get to choose whose route you want to play, but as of ch 14 you are still on the main route with all 4 guys. And it’s quite interesting because I do occasionally feel like the asshole that’s stringing 4 guys along as you jump from guy to guy in each chapter lol. But like previously mentioned, it’s because each guy actually does have a role to play in the plot and you need them to push it forward. Though you jump between guys, it is to let you have an initial grasp of these four people that are involved in the conspiracy around Evolvers. And for once I still haven’t managed to pick out my favourite character yet, I just love them all.

So now onto the guys:

First is 許墨 Xu Mo aka Lucien

He's a director and assistant professor of the local university. He's basically the mysterious guy. Very kind and gentle to MC but you know that he’s definitely not all he seems to be. He’s the kind guy you first meet when trying invite him onto the last episode to save your show. He always seems to know a bit too much and you some how end up as neighbours. Xu Mo is the warm but reasonable and the scientific person who helps you a lot with ideas and suggestions for your shows. He’s also the guy that will leave subtle hints for you even before events happen to you. He’s the kind that’s warm but you definitely feel he’s got a barrier between him and everyone. Though you are naturally much closer to him than others, there’s still a distance. Everything about him is mysterious and there’s an underlying sense of danger around him. Out of all characters, he is the only one who’s Evol is still unknown.

Next guy is 李澤言 Li Zeyan aka Victor

His japanase VA is Tomokazu Sugita, the same guy who voices Oda Nobunaga in IkeSen. And what can I say, he’s the typical rich CEO who basically is the guy who funds everything. He’s mean but always helping you, calls you an idiot, teases you and refuses to admit that he cares. You actually call him out on his tsundere attitude on dates lol. He’s basically the Han Jumin of the game, but not as competely out of the loop as Best HusbandTM is. He seems to have a fondness for animals, esp Chibas. He’s also a great cook, sharing memories in regards to pudding with you. He definitely knows you from before though details still aren’t exactly revealed yet (or I haven’t gotten there yet lol). His Evol is related to Time Control.

Side note: His assistant is the best.

Third is 白起 Bai Qi aka Gavin

Baiqi was your senior in high school. The rumoured bad boy who got into fights all the time and with atrocious grades. You were actually afraid of him during high school. However he suddenly transferred away and you never saw him again until the events started happening. Currently he's working as a police officer at the local Police station, though everyone thinks he doesn't care about his job. But he's actually a secret agent working against the organisation targeting Evolvers. He's the special forces guy that has always liked you but is not good at or used to expressing his emotions. Despite being the guy with the clearest and most direct connection with you, he never tries to push that on you. He also doesn't try to correct the assumptions you used to have of him. His Evol is Wind/Air related, as he straight up tells you "As long as you are in the wind, I will know where you are." He is also the one who clearly displays his protectiveness over you.

Side note: His self proclaimed sidekick and best friend is always trying to make you realise he's always liked you.

Extra side note: I was so shocked when I discovered who his Mainland Chinese voice actor was. As I hadn't looked up anything before the game, I was halfway through the released chapters before I found out. I was so shocked. With Japanese seiyuus you tend to be able to recognise them if you've watched one too many anime. But here? I even went back to listen through the story portions again and I couldn't (and still can't) link up the voices lol.

Lastly is 周棋洛 Zhou Qiluo aka Kiro

He's an idol superstar. Basically he can act, sing and model. He's the most popular celebrity and he can attract fans from all walks of life. He's the typical bright bubbly guy who lights up your life or tries his hardest fo cheer you up when you are down. He loves snacks and calls you Miss Chips as you met over a bag of chips at a convenience store I wish it actually were that easy meeting celebrities. You both love to eat and bond over food. You gradually discover more sides to him and he definitely knows more, but he's still a bright boy at heart (at least from where I've gotten so far). His Evol is Absolute Attraction.

Side note: If you thought I was shocked when I found out who voiced 白起 Bai Qi, I was utterly floored when I discovered who voiced this guy. The difference in characters of the roles the VA played in a previous show is too shocking. I still can't link up the two and was literally flabbergasted when I found out.

There's also a unique feature of this game called "By Your Side". It's basically an ASMR recording of the characters speaking to you softly as he lays beside you and lulls you to sleep. It's definitely very soothing though I haven't tried to fall asleep to it. However only one segment of one character, 許墨 Xu Mo, is free. You'd have to pay if you want to unlock the rest.

Yesterday I found a playlist of Japanese seiyuu singing covers of Disney songs

which involved the 2001 voice actors of kyo (tomokazu seki) and shigure (ryoutarou okiyau) singing a duet of 'beauty and the beast'. 🐶😾🥀

And since we're close to THAT ARC .....

In addition: kyo's voice singing a cover for "you'll be in my heart" (Tarzan) and "go the distance (Hercules)

And Shigure's voice singing 'bella notte' (lady and the tramp (which fits cuz puppy)

*there was also one with ayame's 2019 voice actor (takahiro sakurai ) doing cover of "I see the light" from tangled (a duet with hikaru midorikawa, AKA MY ULTIMATE FAV SEIYUU.... ) but I don't want the post to be so long

[kilesplaysthings]

This part got me snickering.

Plus, IS THAT MY BOI SUGITA I HEAR??? (aka VA of Nobunaga and Gintoki)

Ok, it’s settled. don’t even care what his character is like, you voiced by Sugita Tomokazu, you an instant fave 😎

Find A Song whose title is a quote from a film

Chrysalism - I'll kill you, Tomokazu Miura! 

North London’s Chrysalism crafts Lo-fi romantic songs set in a vintage, futuristic world - combining low-key RnB inflected indie-balladry with an eye for aesthetic taken from co-ownership of a visual arts collective. New single 'I'll Kill You, Tomokazu Miura!’ opens with submerged drums, before suitably velvety synths provide a drifting bed for sombrely crooned vocals, it’s night-time music for the broken hearted. The track climaxes with the lead hook of the chorus, a breathless high note backed up by the emergence of glistening guitars provided by Axel Oksby from Jakob Ogawa’s band. AKA Michal Vojtech, he embraces everyday melodrama – as evidenced by a domestically poetic description of the inspiration behind the track: “My gal would kill me if I told you what this song is about. It’s me at 2 a.m. in the back streets of Hong Kong. And her being stuck to her bed in one of the skyscraper apartments, looking out of the window in the humid city air. Listening to distant cars honk.  Feeling comfortably sad between all the traffic and people walking. It’s about a movie I watched that night when I came back to the apartment. The quote ‘I’ll kill you, Tomokazu Miura!” got stuck in my head then.” Alongside this there’s a playful twinkle to the themes he chooses to riff on, and creates vignettes out of. As evidenced by previous singles taking on Elon Musk stealing his girlfriend away to Mars, or the wistful travails of a lonely Monday Nite DJ. A London transplant from Prague, he moved here to pursue music, visual arts and writing. This led to the foundation of visual-arts collective - Peakaboo Luv - with whom he has created video collages for his own tracks and others, as well as shot live videos for the likes of (sandy) Alex G and Elvis Depressedly, and hosted underground fashion shows and art exhibitions that descend into wild parties. This cross-arts and collective approach to his home-crafted tunes results in something at once unique and recognisable. (press release)
