So many emotions, so little time...

Amazement: the animals in the animated kids' programme Don't Eat The Neighbours do not just have gay hints, they are actively and totally gay. The producers are taking the smeg here.
Gloom: I wish my manager didn't keep acting like she found me totally irritating to be around. I was thinking this as I left the shop this evening, and as I had nothing to read I spent the entire bus journey thinking about it as well. By the time I got home I was extremely down. It just feels like I don't fit in there and they just think I'm stupid and useless, and I hate feeling like that.
Okay, self-pitying bit over.
Fangirlishness (so it's not a proper emotion, so what?): Nik and I watched almost all of the original Akira movie with the original dubbing!

Everyone sounds stoned. That is the first thing I have to say. Everyone sounds much less awake and speaks more slowly. (Hmm, maybe it's just our speakers.)
Kaneda's voice actor is awful. Well, he sounds a lot stupider and his voice drags down at the end like a bad impression of Bill and Ted. Tetsuo's is a bit more melodramatic (Nik hates him because he claims Joshua Seth (Tai from Digimon, who does the remastered voice) is sexy.)
Yamagata and Kai are about the same *phew*
Their girlfriends are so much deeper and growlier. It is very disturbing.
I can't get over how different the dialogue is in this, though! I'd love to know what the original script was meant to be, because one of the films must have employed major artistic license. In terms of which script is better though, I think they come in about equally.
Oh, and in this dub, everyone's names are pronounced in a Western way (i.e. Kaneda, Akira) which is just plain irritating now I got used to the other pronounciations...

Okay, I'm done!

The entry WAS LJ-cut for anyone who wasn't interested in reading about Akira. Don't put yourself through unnecessary misery, 'kay? ^_^

Oh, and what's wrong with being an anime geek? You're a video game geek.

Video Game Nerd.

Forgive me, but isn't that a case of 'same shit, different wrapper?'

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[tallulahgs]

Not according to American kids it isn't (I've had this sort of conversation before...)

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[sashwizzled.livejournal.com]

:~whispers~: Americans are weird.

Seriously, though, I don't understand how it's different...

See AS's notes to my answer.
I would criticise you for your racist stereotyping ^_^ but he said our country was nuts, so I second your comment!

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[sashwizzled.livejournal.com]

You can't really blame me, you see more crazy Americans than sane ones on TV.
Therefore, we must blame the media. ^_^

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[tallulahgs]

Yup. It's all the media's fault ^^

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[angrychemist.livejournal.com]

No. Nerds are different from Geeks, as are Dorks, Losers.

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[sashwizzled.livejournal.com]

How? ^^;;

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[angrychemist.livejournal.com]

By being different words.

:~facefault~:

...

Well... yes, I get that! I meant, how do they mean different things!
:~can't help giggling~:

*See replies to Tallulah*

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[tallulahgs]

Remind me of the difference.

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[angrychemist.livejournal.com]

Nerds are really smart and people and I believe are the highest classing, as they sometimes become or end up cool.

Geek only refers to Nerds that fit into a specific category, like anime or video games. Technically, I'm video game geek and you're an anime geek, but we're both nerds.

Dork, is a person that only a few people like.

Losers are total asshats that everybody hates.

These rules are unofficial and only represent my opinion.

So Tallulah, we are both NERDS!!!

Re: YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!

[tallulahgs]

Then why did you call me an anime geek?....Okay, okay, I get it really :p As long as you're not claiming it's better to be a nerd than a geek and therefore claiming you are better than me, because I couldn't allow that.
