WAHAAAHAAAHAAA!!!! DESU!!!!!
Posted on October 1st, 2008 at 9:29 am by chicagolo
- ***Before I start off, happy october everyone!! October is going to be AWESOME!!**
- Okay, so now that I have CALMED DOWN ( I was bouncing all around my house last night) I can write a post about this. This is what arrived for all you freaked out people. WHAT ARRIVED WAS THE ROZEN MAIDEN ENTIRE FIRST SEASON BOX SET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEHEHEHAHAHAHOHOHO!!! So, I am going to be reviewing my purchase.
- First off the packaging itself.
- The box part of the box set is very lovely and all foncy (p_o) and each disk has it’s own case and the case’s are swee-eet!! There is no text on them besides”Rozen Maiden” and on the spine but there is pictures and it’s all pretty. The disc’s themselves are awesome!!!! They have one of the pictures from the case on them and little rose’s all around the edge. *_*
- The subtitles are HIDEOUS!! they are like, this puke yellow color and extremely cheap looking. It’s kinda sad that fan-made subtitles are better then the company one. But, they do their job and after a while you stop registering them.
- Now onto the ear-bleeding part. THE ENGLISH DUBS!! Duhn.Duh. DUUUHHN!!
-
- The Humans
- Nori
- C

- Okay, for a while, Nori.. just kinda sounded how she was supposed to. But, then she took a turn for the worse. She sounded like she had a sinus infection and just sounded uber nerdy. I know Nori IS kinda nerdy, but more so, she is just kinda ditzy. And the english voice just didn’t do that. She just sounded bad and then “Nori” said stuff that made me barf slightly. Like, “Whatever this is, it’s gong to be awesome!!” Nori doesn’t say awesome. She isn’t like that. I guess what bugged me was that they made Nori sound like, a dorky nerd who is trying to be cool. And she isn’t. Also, at one point when she said “Jun-kun” she said it like “JOOOON-COOOOON!!!!” Like, she was on a hunt and had spotted a raccoon and was calling to her dogs.
-
- Jun
- C

- Ok. Jun’s voice was very annoying. He sounded like an eight year-old when Jun is in like, 7th grade. His voice was squeaky and awful. When, he was yelling it sounded better,sorta. His voice was bad at the beginning, then it was ok in the middle and then it was bad again.
-
- Tomoe
- C

- (Wow, all the humans got C’s) Tomoe, I didn’t really listen to her much, as she isn’t in a lot of scenes. But, from what I did hear she wasn’t that good. When I first heard her say”There” it sounded right and I was all “oh! maybe they got tomoe right!” But it went downhill. It is obviously a 30 year-old woman trying to sound like a kid and while that is acceptable in japan when their voice’s are all cute sounding, in america, it doesn’t work very well. Granted I only listened to her for about 30 seconds.
-
- The Dolls
-
- Suigintou
- B-

- Suigintous voice was passable. It wasn’t Suigintou’s voice. But, it’s pretty good. The voice person pulled off the laugh reasonably well. I havn’t heard her screaming voice yet, But her insanity was captured and this is the best dub out of all the voices. Which isn’t really saying much, but still.
-
- Hina Ichigo
- D+

- As expected Hina Ichigo was bad. I know you can’t exactly have a five year old dub voices but, Hina Ichigos was blegh. It was annoying and whiny and Hina is only supposed to be annoying and whiny for like, two episodes.
-
- Suisei Seki
- F-

- “Eeeh! My english dub is terrible,desu~ “
- EPIC FAIL. Suisei Seki’s voice was awful,terrible. This one didn’t even sound like an older women trying to sound young. It sounded like a bratty 17 year old. And to make matters worse, she didn’t say desu. She didn’t say anything to the equivalent to desu and her voice was so irritating and horrible and I’m sorry, it can’t be that difficult to find someone who sounds whiny but CUTE is it?
-
- Sousei Seki
- C+

- Okay, Sousei Seki’s was okay. nothing special,could have been better. Meh, the voice actor (like many others) had trouble pronouncing names and at times all hints of girlishness went away and she was completely masculine. I know she’s supposed to sound boyish, but… she’s not supposed to sound exactly like a guy.
-
- Shinku
- D+

- Shinku’s was worse then my impersonation of Shinku. She never sounded haughty enough and I think the voice actor was trying to put a upper-crust british accent, but failed. She sounded conceited and was insanely annoying, also she had trouble with the names as well. ( she said Suigintou, Sweegintoo and suffers from Jun the raKUooon syndrome as well)
It Has Arrived!!!!!

It Has Arrived. That is all I will say because I am too excited to write more. Waahaahaaaa!!!!!
Rozen Maiden Vs. Shugo Chara!
Posted on September 27th, 2008 at 8:43 am by chicagolo
- Since most of my posts recently have been videos or chibi news flashes. I am going to actually write something. Granted, it will have a lot of pictures to make it seem longer. But, anyways onward with thy postage!!
 ( Teehee, it looks like their fighting! ((sorta)) )
- Ok, so this is a post about which is better Rozen Maiden or Shugo Chara. Now, I know it seems that the answer is obvious here, as um.. really how many obsessing over Shugo Chara post do we see? Ok, their is only like, one. Rozen Maiden on the other hand… there is around twenty. O_o
- But, while I am fawning over Shinku and Kunkun and all those beloved peeps, I still lurve Shugo Chara, something (Ok, Ikuto) always keeps drawing me back. So, here is my decision.
- Rozen Maiden wipes the floor with Shugo Chara if we are talking about anime. About half of SC is filler and sometimes even non-filler episodes are actually filler. Whilst Rozen Maiden only has one filler per season(Not counting Overture, that doesn’t have any) and even those fillers are more like episode 47 of SC. ( Seiyuu needs to keep it up!) Not exactly but, as there is so little filler it doesn’t feel like a filler, it feels more like an non-plot driven episode. Which is okay, basically a filler, But it just seems more like, “Oh, this episode is funny! Hina Ichigo and Suisei Seki are so cute!~ I feel kinda sorry for Jun” instead of” GYAA!!! ENOUGH WITH THE UGLY FILLER CHARACTERS!! I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE STUPID OWNER-LESS X-EGG!! GIVE ME IKUTO!! I HAVN’T SEEN HIM IN 35 EPISODES!” I think it’s partly because they do what SC doesn’t i.e stick with the characters we know and love, instead of some never-mentioned-before-ugly-cousin. Also, The animation in RM is awesome. they hardly ever look ugly unlike SC - WHERE THEY FAIL TO MAKE EVEN THE MAIN CHARACTERS FACE LOOK RIGHT SOMETIMES ( the part were Ikuto catches Amu as she falls of the aquarium and they screwed up his face as they were falling comes to mind.)
 
- (Sorry I couldn’t find a good picture of RM anime)
- However, Shugo Chara wins in manga. BURN AND DIE PEACH-PIT FOR ENDING ROZEN MAIDEN ON A COP-OUT BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO WORK ON ZOMBIE-LOAN. (and for naming yourselves after something from 90210) But, before you do, finish Shugo Chara. So that is pretty much why Shugo Chara beats RM. Also, because the artwork itself is stunning. Except lately they have been using The Fugly Eyes. ( I can’t find a picture of this or I would show you) I do really like the artwork in RM though, because it is so relaxed. It looks like they could have just sketched it out and penned it in with like, a normal pen. Also the coloring is so watercolor-y and nice. But, Shugo Chara is so bright and sparkly and awesome. Also, the manga has Smexy Ikuto instead of the animes Sorta-hot Ikuto.
 
- So this is my reasonably sized post. I have more swooning on the way..
Lyke, OMG!

Ohmigosh!! So, I was on this website and look what there was an ad for… Uwaaa!!!^_^ And guess what! I went to a different website AND SAW THE SAME AD!!!! I am all sunshine and rainbows right now. ( oh, @steak, they only have the first box set. Sorryz)
Yaa! J-Pop!!
Posted on September 24th, 2008 at 2:15 pm by chicagolo
So, I am currently OBSESSED with ALI Project. I have been listening to them via Youtube and whilst I was watching them, I found this:
Shugo Chara watchers! Do you perhaps recognize the guest star’s voice? No, well I will tell you. It is Nana Mizuki. AKA Utau Hoshina!! SINGING THE OPENING FOR TRAUMEND! ^_^ They sound good together,ne? I personally think Nana gives a better live performance then ALI project( She is so CUTE!!!!!No wonder she voices pretty Utau.), but, as it is basically like my two fave animes together, I won’t complain.
Freakish!!

This is terrifying how well this song fits RM. It sounds like it could be in the soundtrack.
Egads.

This is not for people who love Kanaria or value their brain cells.This is….. THE KANARIA ENGLISH DUB!
Um. Sorry Christina Vee, whoever the heck you are. This sounds like when I imitate Kanaria. Except worse.
