Ever met a purist?
They are those people at conventions and clubs who go on and on about how the origional, non-dubbed (and occasionally non-subbed) anime is the only anime that is true. They feel that dubbes perverse and corrupt the origional spirit of the anime, and are therefore evil. They hate English Voice Actors, and constantly bash them.
I once met this guy who went on an hour long shpiel about how Chris Patton
destroyed Sousuke Sagara, and
Full Metal Panic! in general. It was all I could do not to kill him.
But he did regret it. Trust me.
I have nothing against the origional animes. In fact, some of them I prefer over the dubbed version. And then there are some dubbes I prefer over the origional. FMP is one of those animes. Vic Mignogna as Kurz Webber was oh so much better than Kurz's Japanese actor, who sounded really bored with his part, and slightly nazeled. Vic was awesome sauce, and Chris Patton and Luci Christian were a dynamite combo. And Hillary Haag was just too cute. x3
Anyway...I had this idea for a bit. I think I wanted an excuse to draw Kaze with a gun. And, let me clarify:
I. CANNOT. DRAW. WEAPONS.
I had a
picture reference! And I
still failed! D;
That also includes knives. >>
I had origionally intended then all to be glaring down at the purist over their noses like those yakuza you see in manga, with piercing glares and gritted teeth, and huge, flaming battle auras. But, once again, my drawing skills failed me.
*sigh*

people do have a right to their preferences tho some take it to another level.


sometimes i do prefer the original + the subbed than the dubbed one eventhough i can't understand a thing (well maybe some phrases) ergo i like it subbed. ehehehe but there are also good dubbs. there are pros and cons to the subbs and dubbs sides so whatever. ehehhe
anywho, nice portrayal. nice blaze-y effect of anger with the shading at the background

I don't mind english voices. I may prefer certain japanese voices, but overall, they are well done. Shino is better in english in Naruto (©Masashi Kishimoto). I like the subs. A lot.
