Must be like Asaba-sama!
yes, sort of a mantra of mine, while i'm working out, i really wanna be like Asa-pin. i can already imitate his voice, which for you people who didn't watch Kare Kano [namely all of you probably] Asaba is voiced by the same guy who does Gaara's voice, except Asaba is all sexy sounding, so basically Gaara if he acted like Jiraya or Miroku [of InuYasha]
yeah, i realized i can do Gaara's voice very well, so i guess i could imitate Asaba if he went on a killing spree [hey, murders do have a lot of fangirls, and the whole anal rape stuff, i.e. yaoi would really get them gals hot!] so yeah i'm discovering my talents of imitation, i can copy voice actors no one cares about.
but lets move on.
yes, i have lost all faith in Gundam Wing, after watching it again i realized how poor a series it is. i mean i love Duo and all, and Zechs' ideas have influenced me forever, but dear God is the animation dated, 08th MS team was drawn at the same time, and oh dear god did they try harder. and the Dub is great! one of the best i've heard. Wing on the other hand sounds SO terrible! i was uber-excited to get the DVDs, but when i re-watched them, man were my childhood memories ruined, with the exception of Brian Drummond [Zechs] and Scott McNeil [Duo] the acting was sO bad! even those two botched their lines a few times, and both of them had to voice countless background characters. basically they had a major shortage of actors, and they really didn't try to hide the fact that they had to voice 20 nameless soldiers. most of the background characters were voiced with the conviction of a 3rd grader apologizing for punching the kid who took his milk in the face, and half the time it sounded like they gave the actors the script they had to read the exact moment they entered the studio for the first take, and then that was what made it for the show, most of the characters sound like the actors just got the script five seconds before they read the lines. and really as far as the story went, SEED, 08th MS Team, and Destiny are better. now as far as Destiny goes yes, Shinn is terribly acted, but other than that they are all great, the occassional overacing on Matt Hill's [Kira] part just makes it sound like the character is ampted up but in Wing like i said, it seemed like they had no idea where the scene was going. now i'm about half way through Destiny, so i can't really say that it will be great, but if it stays on this level it'll still be a great story, Shinn, though poorly acted, is a compelling character, he seems like the classic Gundam villian, which i think Athrun is drawing our attention towards, the story is good, and i care about just about every character. Destiny isn't me turning it on to see "what's going on in Lunamaria's life today" like i did with Wing [i watched it for Duo]. its very possible Destiny could go down the tubes and turn to shit in the next 27 episodes [approximately] but even if it does SEED has a stand-alone ending, so Destiny wouldn't even be nessacary.
but in any case, though Gundam wing is what got me to watch Anime in the first place, but it is a really old, and unfortunatly it does not stand up to the time. of course very little does, then again 08th MS Team was done the same time as Wing in japan, and the art style looks a lot better, it was dubbed better, but it was dubbed later. i guess if you look at it in the classical sense then yesm i think Gundam Wing really helped open the doors to the toonami we have today, and the fact that there is a website like this, but i'm just sayong alone its not that good.
also, being as this rant is really a reply to a comment i must address a statement, that the pilots were average teens. they sure as hell were not, they were all highly trained soldiers, Heero could mask his vital signs while remaining concious and mentally active. they all were very well trained in armed and hand-to-hand combat, they were really abnormal people, hell, they were the most ABnormal characters in Gundam history, i mean Amuro, Char, Kira, Shinn, Athrun, Rau, Mu, all of them were gifted at birth, so they had to deal with discrimination and the struggle of being different, but the Wing guys, they were trained soldiers, especially Heero, Duo's story was pretty sad, and Wufei had some tradegdy, but for the most part their lives were their choosing, and they had to deal with their choices.
yes, in true Gundam fashion their lives were tradgic, but not AS tradgic.
Wing was okay, but its definatly dropped in my rankings of best Anime's of all time.
Well tonight was the Dalek ep of Doctor who again, man i love them Daleks!
and i had a good conversation with Bev, all is good.
remeber people, you read AP, i post a link for you, now to get on with links for my readers...
