The visual novel "Killer Queen" had a blooper section at the end.

Ain't no shame in making mistakes. We're only human. However, considering the prices of anime sets, especially in Japan, one expects a work of art. Would you rather have good packaging and playback, or some thrown-together extras? Many western releases are stuck in the early-2000s with the latter model, although it might be justified when we don't have the promotional events Japan does where you get to actually see the VAs, as Justin said.

Recently there was a series (possibly more than one) that had "outtakes" of the animated characters flubbing their lines or their on-screen actions...can't quite remember what it was. gdgd men's party? Show by Rock? Whatever, it was pretty clever.
One of my favorites wasn't an outtake set but scenes from Texhnolyze with scripted alternative dialog, such as the "Child Safe" version. You can find them on YT, but if you've never seen Texhnolyze, they probably won't be very funny. |

That really depends on your rank. You get paid substantially more when you become a "ranker," which you only become after a certain amount of years. Also, voice actors sometimes get to appear in events, which pay very well usually. I have a Japanese VA friend who does VA work, but mainly makes his money off event and livestream appearances. He makes a lot more than me, and I'm an employee at a Japanese company. lol |

The only "blooper" i know of was the box scene involving the voice actor Nakamura Eriko of Haruki from Idolmaster but thats from the radio show and not in a recording session.

Are you revisiting old questions? I asked this a couple years ago and you answered it and now you're answering it again today.

Ugh. You're not alone in that regard. God forbid other human beings do things *gasp* differently that other on another part of the globe. I figured we'd be more globally connected these days as a race, but idiots and the ignorant want it their way. Absolutely loathesome. |

The blu-rays for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - one of them, at least - had a bunch of dub voice actor bloopers/antics and they were a pretty good riot imo.

Yeah, I dust off old questions when the ones I get aren’t suitable for the column. In some cases I will update and/or add to the answer, as I did here. I usually pick from 2014 or 2015, before we changed the format to be one question per column, to make the answers easier for readers to find. |

America and Japan are the closest comparison, apart from maybe France. "Los Angeles union American animation" actually gutted the animation industry, first to Japan and France, and today South Korea and Vietnam. It's also no wonder voice acting moved to Texas, a right-to-work state. I'm not ripping on unions. Japan has unions, except they're not as crazy as Hollywood's unions. Agencies usually do the collective bargaining, too. Last edited by Compelled to Reply on Mon May 28, 2018 5:02 am; edited 2 times in total |

I wouldn't be surprised if those prices are part of why they were included since it is at least something extra to help give the customer some incentive to pay Aniplex prices. |

Yeah, to also add to that list, Midori Days as well, lol. But yeah, bloopers or gag reels seem to be a relic of its pasttime, though yeah, its rare to see them now and days. |

I'd be interested in knowing what show it was, if you or anyone else can remember. I think this approach - actually animating the characters goofing up, like what Pixar and Disney did for certain films - would be the best way to do outtakes for anime. Hearing voice actors flub a few lines is okay, but seeing the whole goof-up take place "on set", with characters falling out of character, is much funnier in a surreal sort of way, playing around with the show's sense of reality. Of course, animating a full blooper reel is probably not an expense most projects can afford (or would want to?). |

One of the Sora no Otoshimono endings had that sort of pseudo-outtake.
