all this excitement over Daffy in Wackyland (which i have watched 4 times today and plan on watching even more) has got me thinking about how much i love stop motion WHICH, reminded me that i never posted this! all of the Shin-chan movies (i think except for the first one) open with a claymation sequence and they’re magical. i really like this one from Movie 6. this has nothing to do with the plot at all.
#csc#vid#Hiroshi as godzilla is very cute and Misae Plane is hilarious#i initially didn’t really like this opening song but i love it now#theres nobody like Akiko Yajima

Another of my favourite cheesy anime Christmas songs, “Ginga no Christmas” by the Houmei Girls from Kidou Senkan Nadesico’s “Ashita no Kanchou wa Kimi da!” album.

MEDIA - ラジオCD「20th ANNIVERSARY ペルソナラジオ」 [JP/ENG]
Title: Persona 20th Anniversary "Persona Radio" Download Link
The Persona 20th Anniversary Radio was a weekly broadcast featuring various voice actors from the Persona series, and it then got released in CD format for the 20th anniversary!
I was always curious about Koyasu's thoughts regarding P2 and his inclusion on this CD because it was the first time he was called out for something anniversary-related, so I comissioned a translation of his radio appearance!
The translation has been done by the wonderful @currytantou so all kudos to her! The video is long and heavy so tumblr doesn't let me attach it directly uhsdfkj
Some things of note:
Koyasu likes Trinity Soul (likely because he voiced Kanzato Ryo www) and wishes others gave it a chance, not to erase it's existence.
Koyasu is a huge Megaten fan and he started with Mainline and Devil Survivor. He was also in other (old?) Atlus streams as well.
Koyasu has also played Megami Ibunroku Persona, and his favorite character there is Nanjo. He wanted to voice him.
Tatsuya's voice was always meant to be deep. Koyasu was told several times to actually deepen his voice when recording for Tatsuya.
Koyasu's favorite option for Tatsuya is Lisa. He immediately replies "Ginko" without a doubt lmao.
He loves Tatsuya very much, and complains about Atlus "removing him when they're coming up with something". He wishes he was more relevant and that he could voice him again.
Additionally, here's congratulatory messages of all members that are featured on the CD
Koyasu Takehito:
Nova Cytheeeerrrr!! Persona 2 Innocent Sin/Eternal Punishment is a work that'll be forever in my heart, so I was very happy to have been able to participate this way. I'd love to do it again (lol) That's all!
Akira Ishida:
Thank you for listening to the 20th Anniversary Persona Radio. I can only express my gratitude to all of you who have run alongside me in this 10-year marathon of “Persona 3"
I'm confident that this is content I can present to the new fans who will support us for the next 10 years. I hope you will continue to support the Persona series"
Hikaru Midorikawa:
I'm glad to have been able to participate as a guest this time. I wonder if this will be my last work related to "Persona 3"? But I had a lot of fun talking to Ishida-san♥
Namikawa Daisuke
It's been a while since we last spoke, but once we started talking, it didn't take long for us to get back to the atmosphere of that time. It was a fun time! I hope I was able to deliver it in style…
Kanda Akemi
It was fun!! It's been a while since I've had the "Persona" feeling, and I really loved it. Thank you!!
Kappei Yamaguchi
It didn't feel that it's been that long! The cast of "Persona 4" are all good friends, so I would be happy if we could do something for the 20th again♪
Fukuyama Jun
This is Jun Fukuyama, playing as P5's protagonist! I was supposed to tell you about the charms of P5, but I ended up focusing on the fun stories of each character, but that's alright!!
Aoi Yuuki
Eh!? No way Fukuyama-san is a cheater…! Eh!? To think Fukuyama-san could do something like that…! Eh!? Fukuyama-san…! It was a lot of fun to hear this side of him…(lol) Of course, we're talking about P5☆
Unfortunately, not *all* of the CD is translated (I would die x_x, these interviews are so fast paced and like 40 mins each!!!). If you want to know the 345 side of the interviews, you can trust curry for a translation~
But to compensate, this has nothing to do with the 20th anniversary, but I also comissioned an additional message that appeared in the somewhat recent 25th anniversary as well! This is one of the first instances of Maya's VA, Akiko Yajima, to have been invited to an anniversary-related event too!
I'm mostly a p2 blog so I wanted to take the opportunity to post this during Tatsuya's birthday as well. So please enjoy!

Today's translation #660
Pash! 12/2016, Toyonaga Toshiyuki x Uchiyama Koki cross talk
Part 10.
-- Please, tell us some stories from studio, that happened when you were recording the voice-over.
Uchiyama: The Three Skating Otaku Sisters played by Yajima Akiko-san were funny. They are very fun to watch on screen, too.
Toyonaga: Yeah, the three sisters were funny. It was like 'So first, I'll record the lines for the first one', and she recorded the lines, and then the second one, and then the third - Yajima-san had to record her lines three times. And sometimes the only visuals that we had were the line arts or just director's storyboards, and then even the Sound Director, Shimizu-san was like 'I have no idea which sister this is supposed to be'. But even if the direction was 'it's okay, if all three sound the same', it seems that for Yajima-san, each one of them is a separate character, and so, she was changing a little bit the way she says her lines for each one - I was very impressed each time, witnessing that.

CROSSCANONS: Is your mom voiced by a Precure? (Precure x Love Live)
Upon confirmation of Yukana being another Precure veteran to voice a mom in the Love Live to one of the school idols (Lanzhu, of all people), it reminds me of the other Precure seiyuus who lent their voices to other Love Live mothers.
==Let's start at the beginning with Muse.==
Honoka Kousaka
Honoka's mom is voiced by Masumi Asano (Minami Kaido/Cure Mermaid). Asano still had credit for the LL! movie, when Go! Princess Precure was midway through the season.
Kotori Minami
Believe it or not, Kotori's mother is voiced by a well-known voice actress [Noriko Hidaka] who had a supporting role in the Precure franchise. In Suite Precure, Hidaka played Aphrodite, Cure Muse's mother. Kinda fitting, don't you think?
Maki Nishikino
Maki's mother, voiced by Kikuko Inoue, has a few roles in Precure, but Benigyo (from Maho Tsukai) is the most well-known of the three.
Nico Yazawa
(I have to mention her or else I'd be punished in the name of the moon. No, literally. Nico's mom is voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi.)
Mitsuishi provides the voice of Hummy, the mascot from Suite Precure.
Eli Ayase
While her mother is never seen in the series, her grandmother makes an appearance. She is voiced by Fumi Hirano, who had a minor role in Star Twinkle Precure (that being Lala's mother).
==Moving on, let's get into Aqours.==
Chika Takami
Rie Kugimiya voices Chika's mother, who previously was involved with DokiDoki! Precure as Madoka Aguri/Cure Ace and the Yes! Precure 5 movie as Dark Lemonade.
Riko Sakurauchi
Riko's mother is voiced by singer and voice actress, Nana Mizuki. Prior to Sunshine, she was Tsubomi Hanasaki/Cure Blossom in Heartcatch! Precure.
Yohane Tsushima
Yohane's mother, voiced by Hekiru Shiina, also voices Madoka's mother in Star Twinkle Precure.
Mari Ohara
Mari's mother is voiced by Akiko Yajima. In Futari wa Precure, she is credited as Mipple, Honoka's partner.
==Nijigaku==
Setsuna Yuki
The voice behind Setsuna Yuki's mother, Ryoko Shiraishi, had a minor role in both Smile Precure and Heartcatch! Precure.
Kanata Konoe
Yuko Minaguchi provided the voice for Kanata's mother. She was the seiyuu behind both Dark Mint in the Yes! Precure 5 movie and Flora from Yes! Precure 5 GoGo.
Lanzhu Zhong
As mentioned in the beginning of this post, Lanzhu's mother has been confirmed to be voiced by Yukana. She is best known as Honoka Yukishiro/Cure White in Futari wa Precure.
==Liella==
Kanon Shibuya
Kanon's mother is played by Mamiko Noto, who also voiced Ayumi Sakagami/Cure Echo in the Precure All Stars New Stage movies.
Ren Hazuki
Ren's mother is voiced by Aya Endo. She also voiced Tenjo in Star Twinkle Precure.
Kinako Sakurakoji
Ikue Otani, the voice behind Candy from Smile Precure, is credited as Kinako's mother.
For the meantime, this is every canon LL mother with a literal CV. It is unknown, to my knowledge, if Hasunosora has any yet to be mentioned. Hopefully you enjoy learning something different today!
Til next time, here's to the end of the summer and the start of fall weather, endless pumpkins, and-- OKAY LET ME JUST SAY I'M DESPERATE TO GO PURCHASE A RIKO NESOBERI TO FINISH MY AQOURS NESO COLLECTION.

25 Spyro the Dragon Facts | Thursday, 12.28.2023
The 25th anniversary of Spyro the Dragon isn't over yet!
Here are 25 trivia facts within series itself down below (while also featuring Crash Bandicoot):
the original game was released on September 9, 1998 on the original PlayStation console in North America
the very first Spyro game was conceived into development following the commerical failure of Insomniac's very first game they developed: Disruptor (1996)
the original game in its PS1 trilogy is the only one of the three (barring the Reignited Trilogy) where Tom Kenny doesn't voice Spyro himself, but rather by Carlos Alazraqui (who's known as the voices of the title characters in Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo respectively)
the game was released in Japan around on April 1, 1999 (April Fool's Day, roughly seven months after the game's North American release), though it had little commerical advertisement, nor an impact itself to the Japanese community, due to the game's "3D sickness" and how the controls and camera angels weren't going smoothly to anyone during gameplay
as the very first major antagonist introduced, Gnasty Gnorc was referenced in almost every mainline game (even he made a few appearances in a few Crash Bandicoot games either as a playable character or a boss)
Spyro was voiced by Akiko Yajima (known for her works in Blood+ and Mobile Suit Gundam at the time) in the Japanese dubbing of the first two games
Irony: the original game was released exactly two years after the original Crash Bandicoot game (developed by Naughty Dog) came out
Tom Kenny (known for voicing SpongeBob Squarepants shortly before Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage came out) is Spyro's most recurring voice actor for his major voice work as the title character in (down below):
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (1999)
Spyro: Year of the Dragon (2000)
Spyro: Enter the Dragon (2002)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (2018)
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (2019)
Crash Bandicoot: On The Run! (2021)
Crash Team Rumble (2023)
Irony: Spyro's Japanese name ("スパイロ") was used for during the making of introducing recurring villain, Ripto for Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage during development.
since his introduction in Ripto's Rage, Ripto became Spyro's most persistent enemy in the following games down below (cameos excluded):
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (1999)
Spyro 2: Season of Flame (2002)
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (2002)
Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (2003)
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy/Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage (2004)
Up until Crash Team Rumble (as of Season 3, where she'll be playable for the very first time), Elora's only major appearance was in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, although she makes a minor appearance in Spyro: Year of the Dragon and a cameo in Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy as a collectible trading card (although she was cut in both Spyro: Season of Ice (2001) and Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (2003) respectively)
at the time Spyro: Year of the Dragon was released, Elora was voiced by Carolyn Lawrence (known for voicing Sandy Cheeks in SpongeBob Squarepants and Cindy Vortex in Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius)
Coincidentally, Spyro: Year of the Dragon was released in the exact same year the actual Year of the Dragon event occured (for the Metal Dragon in Chinese zodiacs)
Spyro: Year of the Dragon is the only game in the original Insomniac Games trilogy on PlayStation to not release in Japan due to the first two games performing below critical and sales expectations at the time (However, it's not possible, courtesy of the 2018 release of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy)
Coincidentally, both Spyro: Year of the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot: Warped are the highest rated games in their respective series (they both scored an average of a 91 out of 100, therefore they both received "universal acclaim")
Spyro: Year of the Dragon not only marks the final Spyro release on PlayStation, but as the game developed by Insomniac Games themselves since they would go on and focus their development on the Ratchet & Clank and Marvel's Spider-Man franchises exclusively on PlayStation consoles
despite selling well at the time of release, Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly is not only the worst rated game in the entire series (second only to the Nintendo DS-exclusive, Spyro: Shadow Legacy), but it was the only game in the franchise to developed by both Check Six Studios and Equinox Digital entertainment (both developer studios dissolved shortly after the game's original release)
despite being planned to appear in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly as the main antagonist of the game besides Ripto, Gnasty Gnorc never made it in the final game, although he is mentioned in-game by Ripto at the beginning of the game
as sibling franchises previously owned by Universal Interactive (now owned by Activision since 2008), both Spyro & Crash have crossed over in each other's games several times throughout the years, which includes:
Spyro the Dragon / Crash Bandicoot: Warped (demos; 1998)
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage / Crash Team Racing (demos; 1999)
Spyro: Year of the Dragon / Crash Bash (demos; 2000)
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy / Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage (crossover games; 2004)
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (crossover racing game; 2019)
Crash Bandicoot: On The Run! (Season 3 crossover event: 2021)
Crash Team Rumble (multiplayer crossover game as of Season 3 and onward; 2023)
Coincidentally, both Spyro and Crash were not only designed by Charles Zembillas himself, but were also voiced by Jess Harnell (although he voiced Crash between 2005 and 2021, he only voiced Spyro,as well as Hunter in Spyro: A Hero's Tail in 2004)
the 2005 release of Spyro: Shadow Legacy (exclusively on the Nintendo DS) was the last game in the classic series to be available until Spyro returned with the 2018 release of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy (excluded The Legend of Spyro and Skylanders since they're reboots of the title character and aren't considered canon)
as of 2023, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy sold over 10 million copies worldwide (yes, it includes Japan)
Spyro made a few cameos in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, where one of his cameos includes being a balloon float for the level "Off Beat" (you can also see it in the background of "Jazz Junction" in Crash Team Rumble shortly before he became playable since Season 3 started not too long ago)
since the 2018 release of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, its art style has returned in both Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (also developed by Beenox) and Crash Team Rumble (also developed by Toys For Bob) respectively instead of backtracking prior character design choices as, in a way of indicating any possible future installments being released when made available (even after Microsoft owns all of Activision's IP since post-2023)
a McDonald's TV commerical advertisement for Crash Team Rumble (credit goes to Lex Lang, the current voice of Dr. Neo Cortex) features a small cameo of Spyro flying in the background (as well as him appearing in some of the Happy Meal toys), foreshadowing his upcoming arrival in the actual game itself (as of Season 3 and onward)
Anyway, that's Spyro 25 facts that I could put in after looking them up before the end of the year.
Happy 25th anniversary, Spyro! 🎂

The Japanese voice actress who dubbed baby Anakin in TPM, Akiko Yajima, is also the voice of young Sasori.
I just think it’s a bit funny; she voiced two desert boys who grow up to become murderers (albeit in different ways, Sasori is a criminal and Darth Vader technically isn’t, under the empire) and are also enclosed in armor. They’re also both puppets, but in different ways.
#anakin skywalker#sasori#akiko yajima#i downloaded the japanese dub of tpm#i wanted to get the audio for ‘i’m a person and my name is anakin!’#for reasons#and if anyone who reads this is curious#it’s ‘ningen da yo. namae wa anakin’#「人間だよ。名前はアナキン」
