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!

I told you Don't Eat the Neighbours was gay! I said millions of times how gay the little bastards were! You didn't believe me but OH YES, THEY ARE GAY!

*cuddles* You are a wonderful person and if this stupid person does not appriciate you then they are obviously blind and thick!

*pats* Glad you enjoyed Akira and that it was fun! Even if they kept getting things wrong. ;)

Do they? Note to self, don't get that version of the movie.
Err, do you mean they pronounce Akira 'A-kee-ra' and Kaneda Ka-nayda? That kinda sucks. I'm v. glad I got the remastered version. ^_^

Your manager sounds like a right bitch, I have to say.

Don't Eat The Neighbours - when and where does that show? I have to see these gay animals!

YOU'RE AN ANIME GEEK!!!
