I just fail to see what makes game companies and anime development and translation studios automatically go "We need a guy voice. Let's go with Steve Blum!"
Does the man just work for cheap or something?
War.
I'm guessing its more like, "We need a guy voice. Lets hold an audition." or "We need a guy voice. Who was the guy who voiced [insert Blum character here]? That sold well, lets get him." |

I caught the Adult Swim dub by accident tonight. I'm so pleased to hear that Instro's voice actor gets to play Jin. Pretty good match, I think... and besides, Instro was one of my Big O favs.

Did he really? I never noticed that before. I guess I'll have to pay a bit more attention to Instro next time I watch one of the episodes he's featured in.

i rather do. It depends on the type of rap. i like the kind that is mixed with singing, that isn't self absorbed, and that doesn't have a jarring rythm, which are all traits of the opening theme.

I didn't mind the opening theme, but I also don't like a lot of rap. Just me being me. This show was all right, but there were (and still are) much better ones out there.

Sporadic? I can see it. The show didn't really seem to go anywhere. It was like Cowboy Bebop in feudal Japan.

It was because there was only one person driving the plot: Fuu. Fuu's quest is the only thing that keeps the plot moving. So when the guys are fighting, the plot goes nowhere. When Fuu get's captured, the plot goes nowhere. If the trail of clues temporarily runs dry for Fuu...yep you guessed it... Yeah, I'm not big on the whole urban/rap/hip-hop thing, and I honestly wouldn't have noticed much of it if I hadn't seen someone's "hip-hop meets Edo" sales pitch. I don't even know much about Edo period Japan. But hey, don't get me wrong, I still got some laughs out of it. Sometimes, even stupid, random stuff can be funny. |

Fuu wanted to find the Samurai who smelled like sunflowers.
I think she thought he was her dad at some point, not sure, haven't seen the series since it first aired on AS.
Yes, exactly, which begged the question "Well, what do sunflowers smell like?" No, you're right he was her dad. I think he may have left because the shogunate ordered his death? I know he was one of the Christian worshippers of the Edo period. I'm not sure, having only watched it once. Maybe it will make sense if I catch a few episodes of it before Big O. It's on Adult Swim Saturday again. |
