Celebrating the natsume dub with a small doodle of our boy

It just occurred to me...

...that nothing was really stopping Cazador from Ascending aside from his lack of brain cells.

If the chamberlain guy was afraid that he'd become a replacement in the ritual to the point he tried to fake his suicide (and overdid it), it probably was technically possible.

The kidnapped victims weren't connected with their kidnappers through blood - none of the Cazador's spawns bit them. Cazador did. Cazador easily became a replacement for Astarion in the Ascension ritual - which meant there were no specific requirements for the sacrificial lamb aside from the runes on their skin.

So, technically, Cazador didn't need to catch Astarion to continue the ritual. He could have easily Turned any other person into a spawn, carved the runes, and proceeded with his plan. Only one piece of the contract was missing and it was rather easy to replace.

But he just had to be a little bitch about it. He just couldn't let it go even for a moment. He had to show who's The Boss. He had to Make a Point.

He spent tendays, months coping and seething over his bruised ego, refusing to proceed with the Ritual before Astarion came back -- and in his self-obsessed mind Astarion had no choice to come back because the opposite would be an insult to his Vampire Lord status.

The Ascension was literally at his fingertips. He could have Ascended, walked out into the sunlight, and used all that newly gained power to find Astarion himself.

But did he do that? Noo.

He chose to stomp off to his bitching corner and make an Astarion-shaped salt mine in his diary.

bad news: Noct doesn't actually use ぶす ("ugly") in the Japanese dialogue of the opening scene of Episode Gladiolus. good news: it comes down to the same thing (in a way).

ノクティス：さらにガラが悪くなったよな

Spelldaggers, the project that translated the game directly from the Japanese version, translated it as: Noctis: And it makes you ugly.

if *I* were to translate it, it'd be: Noctis: You look even more like a thug now.

which is (unfortunately) closer to the English version's "Worse than looking like some kind of thug?", but let me explain.

the exact phrase Noct uses here is ガラが悪い (literally "[a] bad type [of person]"), which is often used to describe delinquents and people with no good manners. and these kinds of people are often depicted as ugly.

have you seen Kiryu from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series? i'd describe him (based on his literally being in the yakuza) as ガラが悪い... he ain't ugly though. but i digress.

in any case, this is just a case of light banter between Noct and Gladio, so i wouldn't read into it too deeply.

As I rewatch Haikyuu for the Nth time, I am once again reminded of how the English dub missed a huge opportunity when they didn’t cast voice actors with any sort of dialect or accent for the Inarizaki players. But more specifically, Miya Atsumu.

In the manga, Atsumu’s dialect is incredibly noticeable and the way he speaks is informal and rough around the edges.

But in the English dub of the anime, the way he speaks is just… boring. Dry. Bland. Like a slice of plain ol’ Wonder bread. 😔

Manga Atsumu: Well? How’d ya like spiking?

Anime Atsumu: So, how’d you like being a spiker?

Manga Kags: ! It was fun. The way you put the ball up is really easy to hit, Miya-san.

Anime Kags: I found it interesting. And the sets you gave me were really easy to work with as well.

Manga Atsumu: Ain’t they? Anybody who can’t hit my sets sucks. That’s all there is to it.

Anime Atsumu: Yeah I know, right? Anyone who can’t hit one of my sets is a real waste of space.

If he were a spice, he’d be flour… 😒

Manga Atsumu: Y’know, Tobio-kun. Don’tcha think yer more cut out to play wing spiker than setter?

Anime Atsumu: But anyway, I wanted to ask you. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather be a spiker?

Manga Kags: Why do you think that?

Anime Kags: Why would you ask that?

Manga Atsumu: Cuz you’ve always got your face screwed up in this ‘I’m thinkin’ reeeal hard” look when yer setting… But you looked like you were havin’ a blast when you were playin’ on the left side.

Anime Atsumu: You’ve had this real tense look on your face every time you’ve made a set. But then, it went away while you were playing on the wing.

Where’s the silliness? Huh? Where’s my goofy guy at?? 😤

Like seriously, they couldn’t find a voice actor with a little southern twang in their speech? Or one who could at least fake it?? Or at least someone who would put a little more emotion into my boy Atsumu???

I hate to say it, but they made him sound like just another generic background character. Which is such a damn shame.

what's one nice thing you can say about the DiC dub of Sailor Moon?

I'm a huge hater of the original dub, but I'll be the first to admit that they totally got the theme song right. It's iconic. Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight? There's a reason why that phrase is still associated with Sailor Moon.

[VD: TFA Clip of Optimus fighting a powersuited speester human, Nanosec including moments of extremely fluid character action animation, espefically were a cable grapple is involved.

Detail desc and transcript below

Nanosec is collasped in puddle of oil. Optimus as a truck, infront of it.

Optimus: Negative friction lubricant. [Transforming] And techincally I'm nuts, bolts, and armour plating. With a few added features.

He fires his grapple, wraping up Nanosec and reeling him in.

Nanosec skating away: I have a few added features of my own.

He skates around Prime to wrap him in the cable in turn. Prime pulls his axe, severing the cable, it falls away from him. Nanotech, unanchored, spins to unwind himself, fluidly grabbing the cable section to wield as a whip, striking three times, the first blocked, the second dodged and the third landing. Optimus winces and sparks.

Scene change to Bumblebee, in car mode, Sari, a human girl, in the drivers seat.

Optimus over comms: Autobots, I need back up.

Sari, to Bumblebee: Ready to try it out?

Bumblebee: Let's motor!

[Sari twists the key in the ignition, and Bumblebee rockets foward impossibly fast across the city]

Bumblebee: You rock!

Sari: No you rock! [They continue this several times]

Back to Nanosec and Prime. Prime lunges at Nanosec and misses, allowing Nanosec to wraps the cable around Prime's legs, tripping him.

Nanosec: I could do this all day, but I've got a schedule to keep.

He rears back to whip the cable again. Action impact shot of Optimus intercepting it with his axe.
