(no subject)
It’s been a fun week. Ready for this?
I just got over a damn cold 2 weeks ago. Got another one. Damnit! It's been eons since I last fell, I was running out of the lounge at the Bus Barn and somehow didn't make a corner and went spralling to the floor. Too bad there wasn't anyone to see it. It was quite a show, I was laughung all the way to the bus. Now I feel it, a bit sore here and there. And on the 8th I hurry to Suncoast to get the latest Saiyuki. I am so pissed off you can not believe it. Let me explain.
I am a Saiyuki addict. Most people with children have the little tikes on the wallpaper of their cell phones. I have Cho Hakkai, my fav Saiyuki figure. There has been 50 episodes and a movie done. All the same ADV voice actors. Geneon gets the rights to put the next series out and doesn’t even consider using the same people. They are almost like family to me. I wrote, yes… snail mail, to Geneon and complained about this before Saiyuki Reload was done.
So where am I going with this?
I hate, despise, detest, loathe, abhor, deplore, disdain, (love a Thesaurus) scorn and
dislike what they did voice wise to this. Not happy at all with the new voice actors. There is no life, no banter between the characters. Hakkai is slightly feminine on the 1st set. This one has him positively gay. Not that gay is a bad thing, now… it’s just the running joke on the series. Sanzo sounds too bored, Gojyo voice is flat. Goku sounds like he's 3 years old.
The jokes don’t do a thing for me because of the delivery. So do I also blame the writers and the director for this disaster? I have cast commentary on the Saiyuki movie and each time the guy doing the interview mentions this was their last Saiyuki, you can just feel the sadness coming over the speakers! It breaks my heart! These people are as fond of Saiyuki as I am. I got email from Greg Ayers (Goku) and he said he need time alone after knowing he wasn’t going to do Goku any more. He loved doing Goku. I believe these people put all of themselves into this series. I can hear and feel it everytime I watch it. I need a daily Saiyuki fix! I am dead serious. Thank the High Ones I have Peacemaker coming out. I can still enjoy some of my favorite voice people. I am spreading the word on the Anime boards I visit. I am not alone.
Geneon will get no more money out of me on this. Why should I spend $24.99+tax for crap? In my letter I explained I was delighted the original Japanese cast was still there, since that would be the only way I will see it now. I can get the entire 26 episodes for $36.00 from Hong Kong! Why in the hell would I wait (they will be releasing these every other month) and spend more since I don’t want the dubbed stuff?
Hong Kong? Here’s my order.
