This is another post about Ghibli, but not for the reasons that you'd expect.  It's about the dubs that Disney made for them.  Speaking for myself, I love the Disney Ghibli dubs.  Every one of them.  My favorites?  Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, and Whisper of the Heart.  These dubs, while not ( Read more... )

Why is it that you claim to love complex, morally gray situations, yet when a character you personally dislike is involved they automatically must be the sole cause of everything wrong and can't be interpreted as anything other than evil incarnate? Seriously. Lemme tell ya' Quess Paraya is the sole cause of everything terrible in CCA because she's ( Read more... )

Since I'm usually here, venting over how ridiculous the Tales fanbase are, I think I'll start with that.

For those of you that haven't kept score, I'm going to summarize the ridiculousness of the Tales fandom, even after my third strike!

Let's get the major one out of the way.

( Wow, it's not enough, is it? )

I really hate the type of fanboys who has never seen a girl in his fandom since their own mother (or sister, if they have siblings). I've seen these fanboys in fandoms such as Transformers and Dragon Ball Z which sucks since I am a fan of both ( Read more... )

This one fanboy has been giving me a hard time lately because I enjoy shipping. There are some pairings I liked and some pairings I dislike. I once pointed out that I hated a pairing in the DBZ fandom (Videl/Gohan) and gave him my own reasons. He got defensive and tried to make me change my mind about the pairing by telling me that the fanfic ( Read more... )

I have a really good internet buddy whom I've known for years. There are moments when he does act like an obnoxious, controlling fanboy. I've suspected this for the past few months. I didn't want to say anything to him untill one day, I actually cornered him about his immature behavior. All he did was complained, whined and acted like a self- ( Read more... )

We have one deleted post, anyone need a screengrab?

So, Other M is out, and you would not believe the bitching and whining that is coming out of the Metroid fandom right now. It's like they have to nitpick every single damn thing that might be wrong with the game, the gameplay, the voice acting, the localization, and the writing. People, this is what the MST3K Mantra is for; if you look at something ( Read more... )

 ...you need an attitude adjustment.  Now.  Yes, we get that studio produces high quality films.  I'm not questioning that at all.  Hell, inspiration for some of my own works comes from Ghibli.  However, that is no excuse for your elitist, high-brow garbage.  You are the Watchmen fanbase of the animation world; everything the company produces, like ( Read more... )

*sigh*

If this is the third time I'm having to bring up the Tales fanbase here, then we got some major bull here.
