The return of horribly TL;DR reviews

Aug 08, 2012 23:39


Well, I've been obsessed with the Sengoku/Warring States era lately. My obsessions usually involve consuming and comparing lots of media. I'd like to review my favourites properly sometime because I usually don't bother enumerating why I like something if I like it, but first, I think I'll launch into some criticism. There's this popular game/anime ( Read more... )

YAY :33 And sure thing! You included pictures, I included our terrible liveblogging.

Oichi doesn't yell, true, but does she ever say anything other than "Nagamasa-sama"? I should've mentioned that, come to think of it! And I don't know if Basara sounded more professional...unless of course you mean professional battle cries. In SW, I think the main problem with the voice acting is that sometimes it's overblown for the situation (like all the "LOOK OUT!!11 HERE I COME" proclamations), but that may just be because they recorded it separately without knowing the context it would be put into (just my speculation). In some of the chapter intros, I also notice that the character's catchphrases might be said in markedly different tones from each other, again because they didn't record them as they then appeared in the game, but at least this doesn't happen with everyone or all the time. Aaaagh, sorry for the tl;dr! Even if they were total amateurs, I'd still prefer them because everyone at least sounds different.

You might be on the right track there! Still, it's silly for them to feel "bad" about a historical event to the point that they exchange it for pointless cheese. Come to think of it, I don't even know why he was included in Basara. He didn't seem to do much, and nullifying his relationship with Oda takes away most of his actual importance to this story.

...well, have we tried to search for that scene by itself yet? XD

Ahaha like I said, I won't tl;dr this much about all of them! Basara just had a lot to...address.

OMG PLEASE DO
