#rambles #yakuza liveblogging #i vaguely recognized the voice and definitely recognized the VA's name but uh. i sure didnt clock him as sonic the hedgehog #he does fine as daigo i just think its funny #though watching more of the dub i think my main issue is that everyone talks with that classic Anime Dub Cadence yknow?#like if i were to pretend to be an anime character as a joke its almost the exact cadence/intonation i would go for #just always a little too enthusiastic with very predictable delivery on every line #and theyre all doing it- even VAs who i know for a fact have a wider range than that #which again points to the main issue being direction #also some of the phrasing is weird? which is odd bc i never noticed that being an issue in the sub #probably something to do with needing the dub lines to match the cutscene timing but still #its extremely 'mediocre anime dub'-coded
