I found this and feel like sharing. Here are a couple of really good English fandubs done by someone on Youtube. The lyrics are pretty close to the original and she's a good singer to boot. She's done more songs, but these two are my favorite. "Again" just gives me the chills. *__*

Okay, now that I've gotten over my initial "bwuh?" and having listened to the rest of "My xxx is best in the universe," I can say that it is indeed VERY AWESOME ( Read more... )

So I've been really looking forward to the new BGM created for the Lagann-hen movie. Well, the official website just put up some short samples of the tracks, and... Maybe I'll like them better when I get to listen to the whole thing, but...

1. "Just stay quiet and get fired up ~ God in Heaven" Just sounds like wailing to me. I hope the rest of ( Read more... )

THIS SONG. THIS SONG. WHY SO BEAUTIFUL.

I AM SERIOUSLY CRYING RIGHT NOW. ;______;

EDIT: Objectively, I guess this song isn't all that special. But I am emotionally invested like woah, okay?!? AND THE LYRICS. AHHH MY OTP. Also the PV itself is beautiful, especially the part where all the lights spiral up into the sky and the flowers ( Read more... )

HEY KIRSTEN, LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE TO FANSUB IT ANYMORE! Way to go, FUNimation! :Db

Hmm, the singer's voice gets a little annoying at times, but overall this song is quite pretty and fitting for the series. *_*

I attempted to transliterate it by ear. I think I got some parts wrong (which is why the translation isn't complete yet), so if anyone could help, I would really appreciate it!

So apparently the official site momentarily leaked the fact that the jrock group SID would be doing the first ending theme for the new FMA anime. All I've heard of SID so far is the OP for Kuroshitsuji. Eh...I guess they could work. (2ch seems to hate them for some reason though ( Read more... )

So right now I have Countdown with Keith Olbermann playing on TV, and they were running a montage on Barack Obama. I wasn't even paying attention to it much, but at one point they were playing this piece of classical music in the background...

And I was like "OMG! That's The Bartered Bride!"

...Thanks, Princess Tutu.

Didn't post last week because all I had to say was that DUB!GENOME IS EPIC and I miss dub!Kamina. :( This week we're finally into TIMESKIP and it feels like I've come full-circle considering I first started watching Gurren Lagann when episode 17 aired on TV in Japan. Anyway, this time I managed to write my reactions on paper while watching.
