Anime Voice Talent Highlight #1: Yoshiko Sakakibara

Yoshiko Sakakibara has been in some of the greatest female roles in anime. During the 1980s, she was a staple of anime, as ubiquitous as Megumi Hayashibara during the 1990s or Rie Kugimiya in the past decade. Playing largely powerful, strong-willed women, leaders and stateswomen, Sakakibara’s carefully measured tone and leveled pitch, even in histerics, make her an indispensible talent in the industry for over two decades.

Sakakibara’s earliest memorable role is the female villain of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam Double Zeta, Haman Karn. Delivering power and believability to the role in every scene, never faltering, it’s no wonder that she garnered a reputation for strong performances in similar roles. read more

OR.net down

… though, it’s not because of anything I did.

It seems my webhost, 250free.com, is having a bit of a seizure today. So, until they’re back up, the strips (which, yeah, I know, nobody reads anymore… shut up already!) will be pretty much down.

Except for the most recent stuff, which I’ve gone ahead and posted on my Comcast space: http://home.comcast.net/~otakurevolution/

Hopefully, this’ll prove to be a temporary problem.

Playmobil’s Security Checkpoint

My girlfriend sent me a link to this rather odd offering from Playmobil…

That’s right. Playmobil has made a set depicting the romping grounds of authority crazed TSA employees. The set comes complete with a conveyor X-ray machine and metal detector. Everything a small child* needs to fantasize his afternoon away. Unfortunately points are lost due to the lack of accuracy. No trashcans full of water bottles? Whatever will employees fit over?

Despite this disheartening lack of detail Playmobil has attempted to raise appeal with the following description… read more

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not everyone of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
