I'm Legendary!

So, anyone notice the change of background? I finally got tired of my old one and changed it. I always liked the big space-type backgrounds, always used to use them in my wallpapers. Also, the song has been changed to "Memory of Fanelia" from (yet again) Escaflowne. So very pretty. Ahhh... Oh, also... I'm an Otaku Legend! Yatta! Told ya little things like that make me happy. Or that could just make me pathetic. XP As Sakura-Con approaches, I've been looking at some anime review sites for good series I could buy when I'm at the con. Here's my "list" so far: Arjuna, Angelic Layer, Comic Party, PlanetES, Fruits Basket, Haibane Renmei, El Hazard. Of course, I probably won't be able to buy all of them, but it's just a good idea of what to buy. I've been craving some new anime lately; thank goodness Adult Swim started showing Blood+. Crispin Freeman is in it, that's always a plus. Here's hopin' this'll be a good anime! Okay, time for that Roots rant I've been meaning to post for awhile now. It won't be terribly long; but then again, whenever I say that it always is really long. *shrugs* Oh well, no one's gotta read it. Anyway, I saw episode 15 of the Roots dub last week; a lot of opinions have changed. Let's just say, all the other voice actors I've ranted about in the past have now climbed to the top of the list. Not because of any increased skill on their part, but because of one character: Kuhn. I'm serious, they must've gotten the worst voice actor for him. For those that know of Shinichiro Miki, imagine his voice coming from this character; now, imagine Johnny Young Bosch's voice (Vash, Ichigo) coming from him in the games; finally, think of Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service, and you have Roots Kuhn right there. I literally thought, "That's who they chose? Really? They couldn't do any better?" Complete shock; Tabby and Haseo used to be the "worst", but now Kuhn has taken that title, and I doubt anyone will come along in the future to take it from him. As for some of the other new faces in the show, they've all been pretty good; Saburo's been a surprise in how good he/she sounds, and both Wool and Cashmere are decent. Pai, because she has the same VA as Ender did, doesn't sound as great; Yata also has the same VA as Naobi, but he hasn't been too bad so far. I still have three episodes of Roots to watch before I'm caught up. T_T Man, this could be very painful... By the way Nehz, I checked your site and read your latest post, but the darn thing wouldn't let me comment. I shall try again later though! (And man, what I wouldn't do to see a giant Barbie under the knife. XP) Ta for now. God Bless
