The writer who said he was a professional voice actor seemed to be a bit flakey for me. IANAA (I am not an actor), but it seems to be that if you've been hired by Disney to do voice work for them, you've been around the block a few times and have most likely an agent that handles things such as finding the major VA studios in town.

I don't understand the point of the rant of the week. They rant about how nobody likes their favorite show and then they turn around and take cheap shots against Naruto fans just because they don't like Naruto? Maybe, just maybe, people might be more willing to give your favorite show a try if you didn't act like such a hypocritical elitist ass.

The "Flake" reminded me of this classic gem posted by gyrobot at the DBZOA board (who also posted as asaqe here until he was banned) way back in 2003:
I was actually wondering if that kid grew up and got some perspective or whether he just focuses his cunning tactical genius to raging against whichever domestic dubber it is that distributes whichever anime it is that is most popular now. I have no way of knowing if the "Flake" is the same person, but it wouldn't surprise me. |

I take issue with the author of the first letter claiming that "many animes contain sexually exploitated young girls and even boys". They're exploited in the context of their fictional universe, perhaps, but in real life, nobody's being exploited. You can't exploit non-existant people. The argument that lolicon or shotacon scenes/themes exploit children is wrong by definition.
The rant seemed just like an uncessary defense of some obscure anime. Maybe I'm missing something. Last edited by penguintruth on Fri Jan 26, 2007 1:14 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I wonder when people will understand that VIZ doesn't edit Naruto (assuming they're talking about the anime)? Cartoon Network does. They still release uncut episodes on dvd.

I dunno, it seems he's borrowing a joke for that section. I thought it was familiar. Does anyone remember Chris Farley's (RIP, the world is a little less funny without you) salesman on Saturday Night Live? He usually says that as a ptich to sell something. Man, am I old.... @Ranter: There are going be people who just won't like some anime that you watch. I saw the first couple episodes of Sister Princess and though it was boring. Out of 10 harem anime, there would be one that enjoyable to watch and out of 5 of enjoyable harem anime, there's one that is actually good. Sister Princess seems to me to fall into alot of traps that most harem do: the main loser character, many girls with each stock character type for girls (ex. the childish one, the bossy one, the sweet one, etc), fluffy plots. Only harem title I actually like alot was Happy Lesson, mostly because instead of the women being potential lovers, they're all the main character's adopted mothers. Plus, the main character isn't the loser type but the cynical one (which is not often used in harem anime). They have stock characters but they do have time to shine out of their roles. I also like Ken Akamatsu's work, my most favorite being Negima! but not as much as HL. Harem titles rarely do well with American audiences anyway unless it's either by Ken Akamatsu or it's Tenchi. @The reviewer's bias question: People like to think their opinion is fact. That's a fact of life, sadly. So as a reviewer, you gotta expect when some inane fan scream bias at you. When I recommend anime or give my opinion on it, I try to be as unbaised as I can. And when I don't agreed with a review, I usually state the reason why. Like the review for the Gakuen Heaven GN, I thought it was given too high of a rating but I gave some reasons why. There's nothing much you can do than ignore them. @ The Flake of the Week: Buy the uncut DVDs, duh! Last edited by ArielTsuki on Fri Jan 26, 2007 1:23 pm; edited 3 times in total |

No, Viz does do the editing before handing it off to Cartoon Network. Although based on some comparisons between the American and Canadian versions, it is speculated that two or three episodes were given additional edits by CN on top of those done by Viz. |

Unfortunately, since he's referring to FMA with respects to Viz, he must be (for that title, at least) referring to the manga, not the anime, and unlike (most) domestically released anime series, if you're unhappy with edits made, there's generally no uncut version to go to. Not enough reason to firebomb the building, of course, but for manga there's generally little recourse if you're unhappy with the production of the domestic release. |

This week's column was hilariously bizarre, from the King looking for work to the obviously fake Rant.
And about the FMA manga edit, honestly the cross-shape wasn't significant to anything but to make an allusion to the Christian imagery, which is a whole lot less inflammatory in Japan than it is in the U.S. And even then, Viz said the creator gave the edit the thumbs up, so yeah, that e-mail was appropriately flaky. |

I think the idea that the artist gives their "ok" to edits is kind of funny. What are they going to not release it, or not edit it if the original artist is not ok with it? |

@ the rant: Wow. I've been bored by the last few rants about You Tube, so this one was a breath of fresh air. It was so funny! It was clearly a joke, and I have a feeling even the ocasional bad grammar was on purpose. I read it outloud to my friend, and we thought it was hilarious! And did anyone else notice that he abreviated Haibane Renmei as "haRem." heheheheheh
