Ichigo Mashimaro - Eng Dub

Category: Ichigo Mashimaro @ 11:55 am
 
Talk about huge disappointments. The Ichigo Mashimaro english dub is … terrible ~_~
I felt like making a post just to let out my rage. i was extremely unimpressed by the english dub
 
Breaking it down by character…
 
Ana Coppola (Katie Rowan) -  I was so disappointed with her performance. For one thing, Katie Rowan’s voice didn’t fit Ana AT ALL. She sounded like a 20 year old with an attempted younger tone. It didn’t fit Ana at all. She should have at least added a shy and whispery tone to fit Ana’s character, but it just didn’t work. I was disappointed with Ana’s voice the most ~_~
 
Itoh Chika (Wendy Morrison) and Matsuri Sakuragi (Kylie Beaven) - Liked the voices, but the voices didn’t match the characters. I wish Chika and Matsuri would switch voices. Then they would like totally fit since Chika’s voice has a shy tone to it, and Matsuri’s voice sounds a bit more out going. The thing is, Kylie Beaven’s voice lacked emotion a LOT of the time. But i was alright with Chika’s voice, dispite the fact that it didn’t really fit.
 
Miu Matsuoka (Caitlynne Medrek) - No ~_~ I hated Miu’s voice. It was unbearable. As an actor, she’s not bad… but it wasn’t for Miu. Her voice was really annoying and just didn’t fit Miu at all. She sounded older than she should have been. Miu and Ana’s voices are the reason why this english dub will get a bad name. Jesus Christ ~_~
 
Itoh Nobue (Carol-Anne Day) - I was alright with Nobue’s voice to a certain degree. There are times when the voice was out of character, acting wise, but her voice still fits Nobue at some points, but at some points it felt a little off.
 
So, I obviously didn’t like the ichigo Mashimaro dub. I’m usually a BIG fan of english dubs, but this one makes me want to go back to the Japanese track (Which I’ll probably do from now on ~_~)

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That’s all really. I’m not sure if I want to keep blogging Code Geass. This anime is kind of disappointing me. My admiration points for Lelouch is going down… he’s become a little too vulnerable and eh well…psyco. His emotions are getting the best of him D: …

I wasn’t gonna post a blog about this episode, but I felt like dedicating something to Rolo. *cries*. Well, i should have cried but SOMEONE told me how rolo died so i ended up seeing it coming and didn’t cry. He died too fast q_q i wish it built up more q_q…

I also felt like the Black Knights betrayed Zero very fast and very easily. Well, it was to be expected but i still felt like it was too fast. And Lelouch just keeps losing everything… especially his mind >_<; He’s making one stupid move after another

Anyways, unless something incredible happens, I’m gonna stop blogging about Code Geass. The first season was good, but this season feels like a drag and making Lelouch look very pathedic. Poor Lelouch q_q… 

Overall Episode Score: 8.2/10

Yay~! I finally got around to watching this movie xD When i saw the promo for this like…over 6 months ago i was like… YES! I NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE! cuz usually i don’t watch one piece movies… they generally suck. The Chopper Plus movie is basically a 2 hour movie retelling Chopper’s Arc. it’s re-animated so it looks a LOT nicer than it did than on the TV version. And for a small twist, they added Franky, Robin and Going Sunny (but Vivi is gone… who cares.)

This movie brought back some really nice memories :] The movie itself wasn’t all that great… i mean, afterall, you can’t expect something amazing to come out of a re-telling movie. Since they’re telling ALL of Choper’s story in 2 hours everything felt very rushed, but that was to be expected. I really liked the animation but i couldn’t enjoy the background music… either something was wrong with the video, or something was wrong with my video player. But the sound efects were great.

The first time i watched Chopper’s arc, I was left in tears q_q it’s been like… over 200 episodes since I saw Chopper’s arc so I forgot bits and pieces. This movie reminded me of how much a genius Eiichiro Oda is. Everything fits together so freakin perfectly to give you these rush of emotions other anime have failed to deliever. 

Anyways, I highly recommend this movie for people who love Chopper xD I wouldn’t watch this movie and expect something amazing to happen, but it’s still nice to watch for the sake of old times xD

Overall Movie Score: 8.2/10

FUCK YEAH. YES. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. HOLY FUCKING CRAP. I LOVE THIS ANIME ALREADY. IT’S ONLY THE FACKING FIRST EPISODE AND I WAS SCREAMING AND NEARLY CRYING ABOUT ABOUT TO KICK MY COMPUTER. FUCK YEAH. MY HEART WAS POUNDING SO FAST I WAS ABOUT TO GET A FUCKIN ORGASM FROM JUST WATCHING THIS ANIME@#!@#!@$#$.

Wow, I seriously didn’t expect this anime to be SO facking good RIGHT from the first episode. Animation is top notch, and everything was just mind blowing. MIND BLOWING. i’m SO freakin glad i picked up this anime out of random curiosity. i’ve NEVER felt this exhilerated after the first episode, cuz usually it takes like 10+ episodes to build up. But I can tell this anime really has it. I just hope Xam’d doesn’t let me down.

Lawl, I’m not gonna write an episode summary. I just needed to get that out of my system cuz this episode FACKING ROCKED MY FLIP FLOPS. I’M GOING SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW CUZ THIS SERIES HAS ME SO FUCKIN PUMPED UP. onwards to the next episode~~~~!!

Overall Episode Score: 10/10

I NEVER DO THIS FOR AN EPISODE, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST ONE, BUT THIS ANIME TOOK MY BREATH AWAY FULL 10 OUTA 10 FUCK YEAH.
For those of you who haven’t picked up on this… WATCH IT. WATCH IT. WATCH IT. WATCH IT.

Argh… soul eater …soul eater… soul eater…. this anime just keeps on disappointing me.
I’m ALWAYS expecting something great and something to make me go HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT. But 20 episodes have passed and i have yet to feel any excitement. The only time Soul Eater has capture me was during the promo, and after watching the promo I’ve had VERY high hopes for this anime but it just keeps disappointing me…
I’m not saying that this anime is bad, and this episode wasn’t bad either. But it wasn’t amazing. Soul Eater has yet to blow me away and amaze me besides using it’s humor. This episode was just alright. Frakenstein vs Medusa was alright, but not the most bad ass’d fight i’d ever seen. There were a LOT of moments during their fight that felt slow and empty, and i think that could have been fixed with some cool background music which this scene extremly LACKED.
My score for Soul Eater drops to an 8. The characters are most definatly the most unique, and strongest characters in all of anime. But story telling wise… not so great. Pretty mediocore if you ask me.

Overall Episode Score: 8.0/10
It was just…’alright’

Itazura na Kiss - 18

RRAAAAAAAAGGGEEEEEEE!!!!! I NEED THE NEXT EPISODE RAWR.

Yaaay~ i’m finally enjoying this series again xD Lawl, with itazura na kiss… there are episodes that just plain suck and episodes that like rock your fuckin socks. This episode rocked my fuckin socks.

All i have to say is…FUCK YEAH. TAKE THAT IRIE. KOTOKO AIN’T YOUR BITCH ANYMORE LOL WHUT NOW. BUWHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA ~~~~!
Gah, after Irie being all cold with kotoko, i REALLY just want to see her ditch him for Keita. Then, i want to see Irie and Keita like beat the shit out of each other. seeing all that drama would make me fall in love with this anime even more than i already do <33 it’s really fun to watch irie get jealous <3

you want to know what i’d hate? what if in the next episode… kotoko breaks away from the hug with keita and declines his offer then runs back to irie realizing he’s the one she loved the most and the series ends happily ever after. THAT WOULD SUCK. I’D KILL THE PRODUCERS. I WOULD SRSLY DROP THE SCORE FOR THIS ANIME IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED. ARGH. THE THOUGHT OF THAT MAKES ME SICK. I NEEEEEEEED DRAAAAAMAAAA RAWR. SOMETHING GOOD NEEDS TO HAPPEN #@$@#%@#$!@$!@# RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE

So obviously i enjoyed this episode, but particularly just the end xD some of this episode was boring, some parts make me giggle a bit, but other than that this episode was alright. I just REALLY want to see what happens next <3

Overall episode score: 8.7/10

WTF. I DON’T KNOW WHY OR HOW BUT THIS EPISODE DID IT FOR ME <33333 YES YES YES YES YES~!!!

Okay… 1) I’m not a totally big supporter of Akira/Tadashi and 2) i don’t particularly like akira. BUT. this episode was like…a real tear jerker. A REAL TEAR JERKER T_____T!!!!

Alright, before I jump into the parts that I liked, I’m gonna just ramble about what I didn’t like… *palm faces* Akira. She kind of really just annoys me. The way she slapped Tadashi when he suggested her to go to the arranged marrage thingy was kind of immature and uncalled for, and not really something to cry over IMO. But ah well, in a way, that built up to the whole Akira-confessing-to-tadashi scene.

Speaking of that scene…wow…just…wow xD I didn’t expect something so strong like that to happen. My heart was racing throughout this scene and…KYAAAAAA!!! I was able to put myself in Akira’s shoes so easily right there. The minute she was at the vending machine and yelled out "I LOVE TADASHI" made my heart beat so fast. I figured Tadashi listened in, BUT HIS REACTION WAS LOVE <333. Omg everything after that was just brilliantly done… pining him down and screaming out "I LOVE YOU". I’ve never seen anything like that in anime so props to that <3

The only flaws with this scene… I wish that there was more Akira / Tadashi moments to build up to this. I would say there were only 2 or 3 episodes where Akira and Tadashi were romantic with each other prior to this episode. Other than that, Akira appeared to hate Tadashi so in a way, seeing her confess to him is kind of out of the blue but in a way you see if coming. Lawl, i’m not making any sense here. Even tho the build up wasn’t all that great, I still loved this scene. Why? I DUNNO Q___Q!!! I guess I was just able to relate to this scene SO much based on my past experiances… you know q___q…. 

Overall Episode Score: 9.5/10
To think I was about to skip out on reviewing this episode xD
