- First thing’s first: Why didn’t anyone tell me I spelled potpourri wrong last time.
- Geass Voice Synthesizer. What is this I don’t even…
- Taniguchi has been giving an interview for a business site about anime, making a hit, viewer generations, la la la. After the shitstorm caused by just commentary on a Taniguchi interview, I don’t really feel like delving too deeply into this. However, at one point, Taniguchi says that there’s 3 elements to a successful, which he names off as being your DVD and toy sales, your TV ratings, aaand if people are still humming the tunes from the show years down the road. This made me think of someone walking into Hot Topic goin’ jibun wo~ in the future.
- After a blurb in Gattai
about me raping Schneizel’s corpse, I have decided that if Schneizel’s corpse makes it out of Geass intact, Kannon will keep it a la Rose for Emily in some room. Ignore the rat poizn part, though.
- Oh, and Eej wants morphing .gif’s of Michael Garret <-> Kannon and Quattro <-> Schneizel. Someone make these, thanks.
- The Geass mafia game started the other day too. >:0! Quit being pussyfooting faggots and post, imo.
- I was writing something in this bullet point about Lelouch’s theatrics bullshit which turned into how I thought his voice actor always felt “forced” and this was representative of that and then this somehow morphed into how Nunnally being alive is kind of dumb and why LAST BOSS NUNNALLY would come off better if it was just LAST BOSS NUNNALLY or just LAST BOSS SCHNEIZEL and not like two phase battle but this is kind of related to why I didn’t think Schneizel would make an impression as a LAST BOSS because he comes off as set fireworks then sit around and watch them explode and then I realized this could probably be its own post and wound up writing about how I came to this conclusion because I think I just wasted an hour writing something I didn’t end up posting or something and I might be a little emo on the inside and baaaw.
- Kannon-tan is introduced in the R2 novels asking Schneizel if he would like more tea~ I don’t think the novels are canon due to various contradictions but this shit is cute and amusing. :(
- Uh, Euphy’s dub voice. I’m not sure how to say this. It’s like some episodes she sounds like she’s 12, and some episodes she sounds like she’s 40.
- Is it bad if the only reason why I want to see ep 23 is to get a clean screenshot of that delicious evil guy face that Schneizel was making in the preview?
I’m pretty slowpoke.jpg here. I saw this earlier but then I started looking for what kind of ratings that Geass was getting on Adult Swim anyway and I got massively sidetracked and… yeah.
As you can see on their TV scheduling, the Geass dub on Adult Swim is being moved from a 1am airing to the 5am airing. Stay up until 5am to watch Geass dub orrrrr just watch it on their webstream? Uhm, lol… Some of their promo materials for Moribito included something about them thinking Moribito would fail on TV due to webstream pirating. I’m guessing they think the same of Geass, as they’re lumping them together in the 5-6am block? Yet last rating remark I saw for Adult Swim Geass was that it was around Bleach’s ratings~ (Hey I still can’t find this figure anywhere, I just remember reading it somewhere. Fuck.)
Anyway, does anyone know where to actually get Adult Swim tv ratings? People are crying, “This will be the death of Geass on US TV” etc, 5am is called the graveyard slot for Adult Swim programming. Also common sense kicks in because of the +4hr time change - It’s always easier to stay up until 1am than it is to stay up until 5am or wake up before 5am. But I’m also kind of like, “…….” because people were up in arms about it being in a 1am time slot to begin with, saying there’s “no way” it would get ratings there or gain any exposure to begin with. I’m curious to compare the before and after the slot change, but that would require being given more ratings from Adult Swim than simply the top 3 shows. :p
Fuck dicking around with the video. 
The fps is fucked up (Edit: And I’m pretty god damn lazy because I know exactly how to fix it) and I need to do mah e-homework. Schneizel’s Eng VA lacks Keaton-sensei FABULOUSness. (his farewell to Cecile is p. slick tho)
- The above picture raises a point about Schneizel’s outfit: Is the purple thing under sleeveless or not? We’ve never seen him w/o the overcoat, huh.
Also, living in Arizona sucks. I used this picture because I’ve been eating ice cream lately for a cold snack.
- The Geass.jp website has a summary for Turn 22 which includes the phrase, “a new story is being sung” or something similar, which is really comforting to hear for episode 22 in a 25 episode series. If it was “new chapter” I probably wouldn’t be saying anything but uhm!
- There’s a new poll on BIGLOBE for your favorite R2 episode. The fields on the bottom = Comment, Gender (M / F) and Age. I’m tempted to vote for R2 19 and put “Schneizel is a fucking magician” in the comment box.
- The Geass.jp website also lists a new event called Cafe Geass which will take place at the mai:lish maid cafe in Akiba. They’re making a drink and food menu of some sort to reflect the characters images and will have various Geass merchandise on display. Maybe it’s due to subbing Antique Bakery, but I really want pics of the food they make for it…
- The Sound Episode 4 cover and details have been announced. It features Lelouch and a fabulous rainbow of fast food, and Kallen doing some semi-Guren cosplay.
- Yesterday I went to my anime club to try to make them watch Geass R2. It was rejected because they’re strict about watching series as a club. When I suggested this, people yelled out, “Just do what she said, Geass is awesome” and the Club President said something like, “Wat no Geass was okay until like ep 22 of the first season”. Interesting, seeing as how most think that srsbsns shit went down in 22-25 that made Geass awesum in the first place.
- They ended up watching Kara no Kyoukai 3 without watching 1 or 2 (though this is likely because we explained that it’s told out of order anyway). It’s extremely weird watching stuff you sub on the projector at school… and in Windows Media Player. D: I avoided telling them I’m from the fansub group so they don’t ask me where the fuck movie 4 is.
- Dio/Yujiro from IRC and ADTRW went to his anime club too yesterday because they advertised themselves using a Spinzaku wearing a top hat and cane poster. I have yet to hear anything from him about how that went though.
- S1 19 of the dub is supposed to be on AdultSwim today, which will introduce Schneizel’s dub voice actor. I suspect it’ll be up by the time I get home from class so if they did a separate clip with him in it I’ll throw it up. (Also since I’m lazy I think I’ll make the next poll about Dubeizel)
- Canned Dogs posted about Geass’s BIGLOBE’s online stream viewing numbers from an MSN article. I asked Tamaki’s Girlfriend to check out the BIGLOBE webpage before to see if there were any view counters that the public could see, and she gave us a screenshot that didn’t indicate there was a view counter. The numbers are, assuming Bandai Visual isn’t lying out of their asses, mostly positive (420k+ views on R2 01). Why no public view counter on the stream anyway?
- Oh, speaking of the dub, Bandai Ent. has begun shipping replacement disks for the defectives.
From the dub stream of S1 15:
Epic censor job. Even Kallen’s shower scene was less retarded than this. I like the script writing too. “Are you waking up now?” and “What were you doing in that place passed out like that?” Christ, its like an Eliza script…
Related to the English Geass world, the results are up for Bandai’s character poll~ 4chan powervoted Clovis to #1, Rivalz to #2, and Shirley to #4. Maybe now they’ll fix Clovis’s character page icon so it’s not the Glaston Knights dude anymore?
Also, Yzak/LtEagle’s logic is pretty flawless here IMO:
It wasn’t 4chan, it was CLAMP, who have been quoted multiple times as saying that Clovis is their favorite character.
Oh, and the Geass R1 DVD’s are glitched.
K everyone look at the Bandai Ent. character page for Geass. See the guy inbetween Orange and Guilford? Link says “clovis.php”. PROBLEM: That face icon is not Clovis, it’s one of the Glaston Knights. Y U DO DIS, Bandai?! Maybe /a/’s campaign to power vote him in the character poll will cause them to re-think this horrible error they’ve made!
For our foreign friends who can’t watch videos on AdultSwim.com…
Comment on the Adult Swim page: “Seriously? Wow. We know this is an adult cartoon, but what Nina Einstein just took this show into a not safe for work zone.”
Dialogue: 0,0:25:37.66,0:25:38.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Good meowning.
From my Dominos script, dated 4-09-08! Dub also uses Good meowning. HIVEMINDED OR FTP HACK?! (Speaking of which, TheFluff, 8-10, where?)
Diethard’s voice actor needs to faaabulous a bit! Nunnally’s voice actor needs to drink poison and die.
But moving along, what’s with the person who makes the script for the Geass dub? You know, you don’t have to make Zero’s lines sound awkward to match them up to lip syncing. He’s wearing a fucking mask so his lips aren’t even moving on-screen.
What am I talking about? The awkward sound of “The man who killed Clovis… was myself.” in this weeks Geass dub episode. :| I’m not complaining about the Black Ranger’s voice acting since… well, everyone else does that, but the actual line itself seems poor. Zero was wearing his mask so it’s not like they had to phrase it a certain way to lip sync. If you take away the “who killed Clovis” part, the sentence is “The man was myself.” Zuh. Who uses a construction like that?
