I tried but not very hard to see what the anniversary date was, and i decided to just prepare myself for the 16th or the 18th... it was the former. so, as always, but this time truly by accident... happy belated 17th birthday Black Butler!! I truly hope this year is amazing for us.

this year, I decided to use an idea I had wanted to try for a while but I never thought I would be able to pull off. and I still probably couldn't in the best way.... but regardless, here is a made up last chapter scenario.

you can also see this comic on webtoon here. whatever your fancy, if you please :>

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.

It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.

Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.

The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.

This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.

Actors are not the same as voice actors.

And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.

I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.

People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.

Voice Actors ≠ Actors.

The cadets whisper tales of a mysterious rogue 99 clone, who roams the darkened hallways of Kamino in the middle of the night… searching ever for toothpicks, and woe betide the cadet who gets in his way!

Do they tan or burn? Pt. 2

Tachibana Kotoha - She tans! Doesn't go out without sun protection though. Also gets little freckles on her face and shoulders.

Sakaki Uryu & Seiryu - both burn and then tan for a bit before it goes away

Enomoto Takeshi - burns so bad you can fry an egg on him.

Tomiyama Choji - Tans. Sometimes he's on the Ori's roof with as little clothes as possible and just barely has any tan lines. Lots of freckles on his back.

Togame Jo - Tans and like Ume, is warmer for it. Goes without a shirt more often if he gets a lot of hours outside during the day. Always has a good stock of sunscreen regardless. Gets barely there freckles you'll have to be up close to see.

Sako Koto - Burns especially on his face and hair part but refuses to wear a hat smh he's a stubborn ass. Get sprayed by Togame or die of sun poisoning. His feet are prone to burning bad too if he's in flipflops.

Kanuma Minoru - burns occasionally but usually not too bad

Arima Yukinari - Tans but doesn't like to, so he'll stick to sunscreening often. His hair gets lighter in the summer

Endo Yamato - Tans and is smug about it when he sees the other guys are lobster red.

Takiishi Chika - Burns >_> He'll wear a hoodie or Endo follows him with an umbrella/parasol. Endo tried to put a hat on him once (1) and got punched.
