Voice Actor Comparison: Fullmetal Alchemist – Greed (EDITED)


Original Video – More videos at TinyPic
My pick: (TIE) Junichi Suwabe and Yuuichi Nakamura
Reasoning: They both have arresting deep voices and jaunty, snarky, lively deliveries. Baker comes fairly close, but doesn’t quite reach their level. Patton’s is a joke, too subdued and flat.
Breakdown: Suwabe = Nakamura > Baker > Patton (Brotherhood) > Patton (First Series)

NOTE: My samefag sense is tingling. I’m closing the comments. It’s pretty sad that somebody has to post as different people to pretend to be a majority. Especially when they don’t change their rhetoric or writing style. I was born at night, but not last night. read more

The 2nd Annual Otaku Revolution Awards

 The 2nd Annual Otaku Revolution Awards

I probably should have been working on this for a while, but instead I’ve been furiously masturbating to Rule 34 of Avatar: The Last Airbender until I exhaust, and then crying myself to sleep with sharp, bitter sobs.

2011 is a year of promise. As in, the promise of remaining a twentysomething virgin who spends his time writing sappy poetry about female friends who have actual men in their lives and arguing the superiority of one cartoon voice over another while most people are having careers and lives. Having barely survived the robot apocalypse by beating them off (lol) with a sack full of magnets, I look forward to another 365 days of soul crushing disappointment punctuated by occasional moments of mild satisfaction, usually caused by the sweet release of my carb-filled bowel movements while I read the backs of DVD cases looking for spelling mistakes (note to reader: don’t touch any of my anime DVD cases). read more

Anime Voice Talent Highlight #6: Masako Nozawa

#6: Masako Nozawa


It’s hard to imagine a voice talent who delivers with more warmth, charm, and sincerity than Masako Nozawa. Though she’s basically well-known only for a single character (and his look-alikes), it’s that one iconic role and equally iconic performance that makes her worthy of highlight. That role, for those of you in a cave for the past twenty four years, is Son Goku from Dragon Ball/Z/GT.
