I don't watch a super-lot of anime, so I feel pretty good picking and choosing the dubs that are good. And I'm excited that the dubcast is coming back for Brotherhood, they were good the first time around.

Is every one of my posts on this board going to be responded to with "Oh, dear" as the subject? I mean, Meir Brin and now you... hehe

Just not in the sense I thought he was.

His name is actually Jonathan Thomas Meriweather, but Mudge the otter can't pronounce it and calls him Jon-Tom.

Alright.

I take it Jon-Tom is someone special?

And speaking as someone who also has an OFU hanging over her head (three years and only ten chapters published? Bad me!) it's so awesome to see you coming back and starting it up again - gives us all hope!

Go read the main TVTropes.org page, it'll help you get a lot of injokes in fandom-type circles.

"Culling of the Fold" might be useful for an assassination, but beyond that I can think of no practical use for any Decemberists songs unless one finds oneself in dire need of an 1800s hooker (well, Mudge could probably find a use for one) or a giant ship-eating whale. Why are all my favourite songs depressing or violent? No wonder I had so many emotional problems in my teen years. Nine Inch Nails is pretty useless too. I could probably eventually find a song for any situation, but what impresses me about Jon-Tom is that he does it WITHOUT the benefit of a lyrics website with a search engine.

Uh... spot anymore what?
"Indestructible" and "Ten Thousand Fists" by Disturbed would be very useful, I would imagine.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Spellsinger If you spot any more, add 'em in. May contain spoilers.

The Spellsingers don't have to write lyrics, they can just pick appropriate songs that they already know. Jon-Tom discovers his power by playing "Purple Haze" and getting a lot of purple smoke. I know a few which would be useful during a battle (Heather Alexander's "March of Cambreadth", Slipknot's "Pulse of the Maggots", etc) but in everyday circumstances ... I could get Jon-Tom home, though. See "Los Angeles, I'm Yours"; if it didn't bring him home, it'd make him stop wanting to go back there. (It's a Decemberists song about how horrible Los Angeles is. Yeah, they're a weird band.)

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

Hey! Am I in the new chapter? *runs over to read!*

Some of us are still here, not many though, almost a compleat turnover of members here.

The command word tends to be specific to each item individually. Probably they'd be the same for all the arrows in the set (quiver, whatever), but there isn't a specific word that would work for all everbright arrows ever.

The FMA dub is pretty good. It's one of the few that I can actually stand. The Brotherhood dub cast is mostly the same as the one for the first anime, so it should be just as good.

I don't want a compendium of what's wrong with chocolate. It'd ruin the experience.

I know that I can't. It really angers me when they use a terrible voice for an awsome character.

Hikaru no Go Example: Japanese voice for Fugiwara no Sai is cool. The English voice makes him sound prissy. I cried.

My two yen.

And also possibly for my waistline *looks rueful*

They put out official subs every week, I think, or they were. Only available if you live in America though, which resulted in many irritated people outside of the States and thus no decrease in fansubbing of the series. There was even a proper, subbed DVD of the first three eps shown at ComicCon this year, which was awesome.

*wanders off to LJ comm*

Yeah, the majority of the dub cast has already been announced.

Oh, this was the channel messing around and editing the show on top of what the American censors had already done to it. They pretty much made Naruto unwatchable for me, even if I had been able to overlook the voice acting. And they weren't fighting with edged weapons, because there were no edged weapons, or even blunt weapons for that matter, in sight. Stupid censors. It wasn't like they were putting it on in the middle of the day. It was after the watershed.

Yes it is.
Except for maybe my complexion.

...don't worry, no need to sell your soul into slavery...yet... *evil grin*

*hands over more chocolate* Because more chocolate is always a good thing :D

As for the analogy... perhaps we can arrange to have that grave filled with dirt. ;)

I remember you! Good to see some of the oldbies are still around.

*scratches head* Yeah, I think I might have to go find a more anime-centric board to beg for a beta-reader. Still, it's good to be back!

A reviewer likened the story to a zombie repeatedly lurching out of its grave. I enjoy the analogy. Hopefully this new electric cattle prod I bought will keep it out of the grave for a while. :)

(I actually had to re-read the entire story, too. It has been a looooooooong time).

*takes drink, adds milk and sugar. Oh, was that beer? Now it's tea*

It's nice to meet you! I am, let us say, quite over-whelmed. :)
