This. Dub companies are poverty as hell. They make pretty much all their money from DVD sales in a market that’s nothing but piracy and none of their shows are shown on TV for the most part. Anime’s also their only business while Nick and WB and CN have a lot of others things to make them money. Companies like Funi only have Anime.

Facepalms Man hirigana and katakana are children’s languages?

Fuck… just finished learning hirigana alphabet and was going to play a Japanese pokemon game to get a little help with the language, and then find out that it uses katakana…

Anyway to find a children’s book online?

The reason you get into the anime business is so that you don’t have to spend money. If you wanted to spend money, you’d probably be making your own stuff instead of regurgitating somebody else’s.

Plus, they don’t understand the appeal except in the sense that it makes money.

pretty sure their kinda like a union…when you hire a studio…you have to use their voices. i dont think you can hire one person from one place and another from another place…at least you used to not be able to do it. thats why it wasnt a mix and match for dbz voices. they all came from one studio.

With DBZ, they were hiring a studio for a while, then they went in-house. Which is why at first they had voice actors who were woefully miscast but of good quality in their own way, then they subsequently had one guy doing 30 different voices that all sound more or less like a constipated version of the cookie monster.

i just used that as an example since most people know the story. but take greg ayres im pretty sure hes a studio guy, thats why he gets picked for some stupid roles he should not be voicing. almost like its sag of voice acting…you gotta take these dudes when you pick this studio.

Breaking Bad keep getting darker, THIS IS THE BEST.

PS - lol Anime.

You mean as deep voiced black guy and not so deep voiced black guy doing an impression of another race?

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HE DOES.

Sike I’m just playing, Phil LaMarr is great. Strangely enough along with it’s good presentation the persona game has good VAs too. Good job Arc.

(I shall know show you properly, Havatchu.)

Ugh. Time to finally start this driver search. I expect this to take the rest of the night.

…When the fuck did you become a fangirl?

This reminds me. I keep meaning to go to “knowyourmeme” or whatever that website is called that keeps track of these things specifically to look up the more insipid memes like the above or “epic”'s overuse or the like.

…Then I remember that they’d still be insipid shit and promptly forget.

Haw haw! [/Nelson]

begins to patiently wait for white shadow’s rage if this is true

Also, what the hell is Toonami Aftermath?

That is indeed cool.

Amusingly, it means that they’d catch fatal diseases even easier than they historically did though.

It’s less that Hiragana and Katakana are “children’s languages” than that they’re just the most basic part of Japanese before it decided to borrow mostly overly complex logographs from the Chinese that became “Kanji”. I mean, I guess I can see what you mean with regards to the fact that Japanese kid’s books likely have minimal kanji, but neither writing systems are restricted to children in Japanese. It’s just that most adult publications use kanji for most applicable words. Katakana’s mostly for foreign words anyway.

Kanji’s the only difficult one to learn.

…Why do you want to know Hiragana and Katakana all of a sudden?

All the little kids read Anpanman. I’d find a link if I wasn’t on my phone.

Another place to practice your 'ganas and 'kanas: http://www.hiraganatimes.com/hiragana_blog/

P4A is the first fighting game that I…actually wanted to finish the story mode with.

I feel dirty saying that.

damn I still get nervous around girls lol…

I usually go pick up my food on my rollderblades. girl working there caught me off guard and started asking about the “secret to rollerblading”. didn’t know wtf to say. I was like…uh…learn? then made up some BS like “go to the park and practice on those carpet tracks…you’ll be good in no time!”. not sure if there was anything else going on. looked kinda underage too.

THE END.

And he does it sounding like a normal human being and not a cartoon voice, which is the real trick.

I thought phil lamarr/vamp died??

(Yeah, this is going to take a while…)

SNAAAAKE! Why the hell would you say something like that?!

Stopped reading there.

And not because you misspelled rollerblades.

Do you wear short shorts too?

Oh, I see. Thanks.

Great. Something else I can’t stream…

Don’t forget the awesome synthesized background music made of mostly silence and a few bloops and bleeps here and there. Niggas prefer this over fully orchestrated music apparently.

Trying to become multilingual my nigga(I want to learn 2 more languages after this, I’ll probably touch up on some Chinese that my aunt tried to teach me when I was a kid and Spanish after that) … I’ve been spending like a month just trying to learn the damn alphabet, but turns out I know no vocabulary:bluu:

The Japanese is mostly for shits and giggles… with Japan being the technology capital of the world, I can start importing shit from there… I don’t have any real interest in visiting Japan honestly though… I might do it once I get these loans off my back…

Honestly I’d have an easy time with Italian since I have an assload of Latin under my belt, but nobody I think I could come into contact with speaks it… I don’t fuck with Italians…

Now that I at least know Hirigana alphabet, I’m trying to learn how to read it… Katakana is giving me a run for my money though…

Hmm, I don’t think I can access this website in america… c’est la vie… thanks for tryna hook me up though…

lol had to put a kid on blast who owed me 30 bucks for a graphic design job. now his moms all mad i put this kid on blast and says shes gonna pay me. bitch i dont want your money…this kid owes me not his mommy.
