Conflicted tales from physical media: "Persona 3" got a re-release, and the dubbing job was redone pretty much entirely from the ground up. On the one hand: hooray, no more of the terrible (and honestly kind of always overrated, I never got the hype. Kirk Thornton was where it was at) Vic Mignogna as Junpei, so well done there guys. But no Tara Platt (best actor, playing best girl), no Michelle Ruff, no Karen Strassman, no Liam O'Brien (though honestly, dude must be exhausted by now!), no Grant George, no Dan Woren (great as the villain, damn!), and no more credit to the (rather unusually) unknown actor who played Fuuka. Hell, even the Wikipedia article on the characters doesn't credit a lot of them from the original (for the record I think it was Mona Marshall who played Ken, if memory serves). Kind of sad really. "Hey, here's some great work, some wonderful performances, some from actors who we don't even know, and some from actors before or around the time they were really hitting their stride! Well, gone now!" I appreciate the remaking of these games to update the jank and keep them around, but games are honestly kind of a time capsule and should be preserved as all art should. Kind of sucks man.

[WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN]

Believe it or not, I have two this time that are both related to Huntik: Secrets & Seekers.

• Originally during both development and production of the show's first season, Zhalia Moon's backstory was to never be revealed and she was supposed to be a Huntik agent who for some reason left intentionally ambiguous turned to the other side as an Organization operative.

• Originally with the show's second season, both Sophie and Zhalia would've still had a rivalry with each other since the latter was an Organization spy that had still betrayed them.

Cubot, Amy, Rouge at a Convention (SFM)

I went to a convention about a week ago and got to see the voice actors for Cubot (Wally Wingert), Amy Rose (Cindy Robinson) and Rouge the Bat (Karen Strassman) for the Sonic franchise. So, I recreated the photo from the bottom *apologies for low quality* into SFM with their respective characters.

Can we please get a new VA for Rouge? Like, we’ve already got the rabbit, we don’t need Cream the Pants too.

Reloaded: The Voices of Persona 3 | Behind the Scenes - Episode 4

[talesfromthebacklog]

Side post: Anime Convention Haul!

I went to Kumoricon this weekend! Got some really neat autographs from some really awesome people!

Had Karen Strassman (Rouge) sign my copy of Sonic Generations. And Brandon McInnis (Count St. Germain from the anime) for my copy of Code Realize! The gold Brandon used to sign it was literally perfect.

And finally I had my volume 1 copy of the manga My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead To Doom signed by the anime voice actor Jeannie Tirado. She even drew a little doom flag for me! So cool!

So I had an awesome con day.

And also horses. I just really love horses.

There was also a giant Doujinshi booth. I did pick some up but I’m going to leave my Doujinshi taste to be a mystery. 😜

i am SOOOO happy somebodies finally talking about the VAs talents. the fact that the show had some of the strongest anime VAs i've ever heard and is still considered underground shows how VAs are treated in the industry. although i believe that dom pyro and medea shouldnt have been in a show for kids i have to admit that they were voiced really well and are two of my favorite voices in the show. karen literally CARRIED the girliepops on her back and i also appreciate how chase wasnt shipped with anyone, as it keeps cams identity as a gay man in mind(maybe im looking way too into this but yk.) so far i LOVE when VAs get to expirience with as many characters as possible and practice their range.

Monsuno had only FIVE voice actors: A thought about multi-casting

I recently finished an American-Japanese co-produced Anime that had aired on Nicktoons. And I say Anime since it was animated largely in Japan with the usual trademarks of a TV Anime rather than something like Avatar or Teen Titans that mimics the look of Anime.

But the animation aside, you got the voice cast. All five actors for the five leads and many supporting characters.

You have Cam Clarke, Kirk Thorton, Chris Smith and Keith Silverstein spreading themselves thin but Karen Straussman had to carry every single female character on her back, main, minor and secondary.

The way they went about it was somewhat impressive with Cam Clarke balancing between spunky teen Chase and his straight laced dad, Jeredy. Keith Silverstein also is a quick shot with accents with Aussie Dax, Southerner Kilo, stoic Six and proto-Hisoka Don Pyro.

Yet also ridiculous when Karen had to sound like she was having a perpetual orgasm to distinguish her performance as Madea of the Dark Spin mercenaries from "Strong Female Character(TM)" Jinja. And Charlemagne's accent must've been a challenge without bursting out laughing.

It's honestly fascinating given how Anime dub VAs are criticized (by those who don't watch dubs usual) about the "same 12 voice actors" or that they "lack range." Part of me finds Monsuno's super limited casting interesting since most dubs have Additional VA casting to avoid this and they're funds barely match a franchise that flew under the radar.

Where I'm going with this is that I actually ponder if dubs could experiment more with an actor's range and double casting. Especially with recent demands for Union talks and the like. That is, you'd never truly know two characters in the same scene had the same actor until pointed out.

[un-pearable]

and here's lloyd's lines. i love him dearly

[tenmyoujump]

i know i’m looking at old opinions by redditors so i should take it with a grain of salt but it honestly kind of shocks me that people thought troy baker had the best performance in vlr. i think liam o’brien, karen strassman, and travis willingham did the best jobs tbqh

Escape From Echo Planet

What is it —

A 2D anime-influenced action/sci-fi/adventure animated film that is best described as a cross between The Incredibles and old school Saturday morning 1930s serials in terms of its tone and style.

PREMISE:

At first set in New York City, we follow Susan Gilchrist, a young and absolutely drop-dead gorgeous 25 year old woman, who is an Olympic medalist with ten of them already under her belt and five of them being gold. A single mother who despite her incredible accomplishments is recovering from a rather nasty divorce with her now ex-husband, Susan's only care in the world currently is her 8 year old daughter Gerda who is as shy and frail as can be.

It's one night, however, that is about to forever change her life as the doorbell rings when Susan is busy making cookies for Gerda as it's the day before Christmas Eve and she puts the bowl of dough down to go answer it. But to her shock and then immediate horror, Susan finds three women her age and wearing tight skin, full body catsuits standing there when she opens the door holding a large sack and saying "Susan Elizabeth Gilchrist, you are coming with us!"..... right before they instantly kidnap her in it.

It turns out these are not any ordinary kidnappers as she's taken to their getaway vehicle - an invisible yet extraordinarily advanced spacecraft.

Blasting off to the speed of light straight off Earth and into the cold depths of space, a terrified and bewildered Susan is brought directly to where these women are from and it's none other than the titular Echo Planet, a vast yet utterly dangerous flat jungle-esque planet located right behind the moon itself where all is finally revealed.

An entire army of female super soldiers is being put together by the leader of Echo Planet, an unseen but powerful shadow figure by the name of Mistress, and is comprised of the best of the best highly skilled women of Earth from martial artists, army soldiers, marines, FBI agents and even other medalists among many others in order to take over all of said Earth with the moon playing an important and central role in it.

Susan is about to become the newest addition as Mistress' plot is ready at long last to be put into motion but unfortunately for them, right before she's about to be brainwashed, she manages to escape from their clutches.

Now all by herself and wearing the same type of catsuit the soldiers are with hers being blue with the usual white in front, she must or is forced to use everything she's got in order to not only survive against all the forces out to get her but overcome the odds as it turns out she's the one and only hope to stop the ensuing takeover from happening and while all of this is occurring, Susan comes into contact with a certain high-ranking and seductive female alien captain by the name of Crypta who seems to know more of what's going on with the domination of Earth than any others.

NOTES/TRIVIA/DETAILS:

• The big thing right out of the gate is that yes, the design of Susan Storm/Invisible Woman from the underrated Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes will be reused for the main protagonist's design along with her suit being reused for both HER suit in this and the overall suits for the soldiers and captains, just with different colors on the latters. Top it off, her voice actress from the show, Lara Gilchrist, will voice both Susan and Mistress/Crypta, thus making her character's name a combination of her character and actress playing her.

• The cast (which is all-female) that I have in mind even for supporting roles are all of the following fifteen — Lara Gilchrist (obviously), Elizabeth Maxwell, Stephanie Young, Caitlin Glass, Holly Hunter, Wendee Lee, Rebecca Soler, Karen Strassman, Kelly Stables, Christel Khalil, Collen O'Shaughnessey, Nicole Sullivan, Kerri Kenney Silver, Christy Carlson Romano and Rebecca Shoichet.

• The animation style, while it is definitely influenced by the style in the aforementioned Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, will have its own distinctive look to it to make it stand out from others. Not only will it be far more fluid and expressive than the show it's also aforementioned style is from but it will have a slick and color contrasting noir aesthetic to it that gives it a rich look especially with its environments.

• As for the director for it, I want someone who is just as weird and distinct as the project and story to helm it since they'll obviously gel with it. The choices that I have in mind are Brad Bird, Gore Verbinski, Michael Dougherty, Kerry Conran, Chris Bailey, John Knoll, David Lowery, Elliot Dear, Lauren Faust, Robert Rodriguez, Shane Acker, David Yarovesky, Emily Dean, Simon Wells and Brenda Chapman.

• Lastly, a major and subversive aspect of the movie is none other than both the characters of Mistress and Crypta. See, Mistress is a literal shadow whose real appearance is never seen by anyone but is always an imposing figure and force. As for Crypta, she's an entirely chalk white female alien and one of the best captains of Mistress' army who is shown to be deliciously evil and enjoys being vile and sadistic. What adds more to the overall tension and danger of the film is that despite Mistress ordering that Susan must be brought back alive, all of the captains and soldiers (with wicked grins on their faces) have their fingers crossed behind their backs on that part INCLUDING Crypta herself. This culminates in Susan accidentally landing right on her..... and a twisted Crypta proceeds to instantly devour her whole in one big gulp. Later though, Susan ends up using a force field activator that Crypta had swallowed earlier in the film during their first encounter (this is their second) to literally blast her way out of her stomach, exploding her body on the outside in half. It's again another later though that Susan eventually discovers along with the plot to take over Earth that Mistress and Crypta are in fact THE SAME PERSON with the former being a persona she created and the latter being the real leader pulling the strings while hiding amongst her own army as Crypta reveals herself to Susan as alive and well and puts herself back together in one like it was nothing. And yet it's here that Crypta reveals another thing that changes everything and it's that she's been secretly watching Susan throughout her entire adventure through several orbs and that she's managed to do one thing that no one else has ever done including those of her own race - Susan impressed Crypta, so much that the latter offers the former to join her and together, they will lead their army to conquer Earth to which a disgusted Susan refuses. And YET that's still not the end of it as by the climax, Crypta sees for herself the humanity Susan has and why she keeps fighting through her protecting her daughter Gerda (who as it turned out stowed away on the spacecraft her mother was taken in) and soon enough, Crypta has an unexpected change of heart and decides to help Susan in stopping her OWN plan. Against the odds, Susan and Crypta manage to put an end to the latter's robotic creations (turns out she also has giant steampunk-esque indestructible, or so it seemed, robots) and free the whole army of the mind control they're under, all on Christmas Eve. It's afterwards that the two meet together on the balcony of Susan's deluxe apartment and after one final confrontation, Crypta ends up on top of Susan where they meet eyes and they proceed to have sex. The movie ends with a stunned and shocked Susan looking up into the Christmas night sky and asking herself out loud in utter disappointment "Susan Elizabeth Gilchrist..... what have you done?" to which Crypta beside Susan herself responds "I'll tell you what you just did. You've made me the happiest Zyrod (her race) in the entire universe". They both look at each other, kiss again and proceed to have sex a second time as the camera pans out all the way to space to reveal both Earth and the now destroyed remnants of Echo Planet, credits role.
