Dub Talk 203: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

0:01 or you were demon then you risk it all tomorrow night I have no time for idle chitchat I'm a Demon Slayer and I should be out there hunting demons right now what's a Demon Slayer you ask well how do I put it demon Slayers someone who slays demons plain and simple of course whist any demon slain he knows my language and content takers so uh yeah it's at your own discretion there are also major spoilers abound because let's face it the LA corpses as a result I I don't know exactly demon sorry I

0:50 just I was raised by pigs uh what is opinionated mean I don't know what whatever it is me and my friends I travel with we have our own and uh well to each their own that's all I'm gonna say now if you don't mind get out of my way I have some tigress to kill and I have a live training to do also I'm feeling like eating some bacon right about now I don't know why so tell me kid why you interested in me all of a sudden your family was killed by a team we're point away let me at them rat bastards I'll show them what no Sookie I see

1:35 bears all about yeah that got part to a comic book no I think you could do I could do better it's a dark night you're coming home from selling charcoal in the village it's been snowing a little bit you're cold so you decide to cut through the woods it's too quiet you don't hear the birds you usually do you feel like something's watching you skulking around you pull your jacket tighter over across you you hope nothing bad happens you're so worried about it you don't realize that you almost run into a man with a box on his back oh it's a member of the

2:21 Demon Slayer Corps this should go well nothing possibly bad could happen while he's around you right right Iowa's news welcome to another exciting episode of dumb talk we're a bunch of nerds talk about the latest and greatest in English anime dubs and tonight do we have an episode for you I hope your chair is comfortable you will be sitting in it for a very long time because tonight we're going to be talking about the dub for the Smash Hits Shonen anime of 2019 and 2020 demon slayer japanese subtitle I never remember hey I came in to thank you I understand why they're doing it but it's like you're not gonna sell me on this any harder than just calling it Demon Slayer it has everything I want in life yes and sling I mean I guess they

3:07 want to be nice to referred we'd like the actual name I mean I should I soon was also add like an SEO search engine kind of a deal as well but yes that too yeah yeah I mean yeah I mean I could've like tried translating it straight but I guess like demons sort of destruction would it does it sound like something both people would actually read yeah that sounds fun but confusing like I'm imagining imagining Steve bloom saying that on TV every week it just it just rolls right off the tongue doesn't it anyways joining us joining me tonight on this little excursion into the depths of depravity and mayhem we have jet spotting any spiders everywhere it's true Jamal

3:53 it's a sis in the box it's sis in the box man it's a cyst in the box what is wrong with you fam Thank You Jamal and Megan oh I wish that was a member of the twelve keys the key that is what I drew we like to be cuz if I was a member of the 12 Keys a key Mouzon wouldn't these be so mad with me I don't know about that part I've been sitting on that joke for at least two days I'm proud of myself also be when you were talking about walking through the woods I thought you were gonna start saying Shia LaBeouf I'm not that clever thank you

4:39 for thinking I am though so yes we're we're here to talk about demon slayer which has that rare feat of becoming the biggest anime in the world right as it's mangas concluding a rare sight indeed yeah that I think has it been seen since I want to say it's not safe in classrooms manga author of demon slayer like all right I've got buku books I'm here I'm out I'm out fam cut you on the flip side buddy Oh dad just peeks at very drying Bordeaux two waves them away fun I like your crocodile avatar thanks I like your fish avatar well remove our cows sets up in Hokkaido with her cow

5:26 exactly yes we're going to be talking about Demon Slayer tonight because it's a big deal and we enjoy it and content I don't know perhaps you don't know what Demon Slayer is in which case I'm impressed you don't hang out in fan circles that's probably a smart decision keep doing that but if you don't know what it's about let me let me give you an overview is about our our protagonist Tanja roe it's the taisho period in Japan it's that weird period where modernization and sort of Western culture was starting to filter in sort of the very end of the nineteen mints in 1919 'the century that kind of thing and he lives out and sort of Murrell japan with his family he sells charcoal every

6:11 is going great until he comes home one day to find that his entire family has been murdered by demons except for one of his sisters who has merely been turned into a demon this this is bad but a passing demon slayer basically initially tries to kill a sister realizes that there seems to be a little more humanity in her than normal and basically says like alright I'm gonna give her this thing so she won't bite people because she seems okay and you should come join our little crew here because you know if you're part of us you'll probably have a better shot at figuring out both protecting your sister and figure out a way to turn her not into a demon because who wants that right things escalate from there that's

6:57 the understatement of the century like I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying like you know you're going along and he has to fight a demon that keeps you know a little hair ornament trophies from the people he kills I'm like oh this is a minor entry this isn't even notable we're not even talking about that character he doesn't matter enough that is that's the episode where I literally had to put a trigger warning on people with sensitive ears because holy [ __ ] yeah do you hate the sound of grinding teeth you may want to skip that episode yeah after if you got tinnitus be so phone yo if you're hard of hearing please skip episode 8 save yourself but

7:42 yes so since this is hello I thought someone said something ago saying along the way we will learn how the collected e of the internet learned how to [ __ ] their pants for a girl in a box eat your heart out girl from outlaw star eat your heart out sometimes so since this episode is definitely going to be really long does we have a lot of characters to go through let's start ourselves off with our ADR director and our scriptwriter so directing this thing we have Steve Staley is known for plenty of things recently you might have seen his work directing the promised Neverland also on

8:28 Toonami and script writing we have two people doing script writing the first ten episodes will dump like Kyle McCarley who's done stuff like Carolyn Tuesday and the back half was done by Lucy and dodge who's done a number of things but I know I need Sun for one bungo stray dogs but I know we have some fans on here of Megan Megan looks up from eating her Popeye look I have seen the bit of BOGO you show me it looks very entertaining all song on boom go stray dogs is another show that it's exactly if you're alley of weird [ __ ] it's it's I was I was I was looking up cats at one point it's like some version of John Steinbeck isn't this I'm curious now yes he has a giant floating whale airship also be there's a character who can only there's a character who is

9:14 immune to bombs but only if they're shaped like lemons so that is so beautiful I love that but as such you should watch on the show it's literally tailor-made for people so while I'm staring at the moon thinking about how I should watch a book go at some point I would like to go first talking about our adaptive crew here I guess I'll go go ahead okay so see family seems to be quickly becoming one of the hottest director is his work on this year was a pretty good example of why his work has been pretty consistent so far and he definitely brings that same level of consistency to this done and everyone

10:01 here it sounds pretty well directed and pretty much every performance of this time branches from pretty solid to pretty strong I didn't have any like particular issue without anyone here so I did how to appreciate that while he didn't do the casting for this dub it has a pretty decent mix of fresh faces folks who have been around for a while but work like necessarily household needs and a couple of veterans so I definitely do so definitely like went back to a casting director mommy okay brought to the table here on that end and I'm also glad that either flex out to debate this in Judea dub in particular so we could get a couple of specific veterans who will talk about later I guess script wise everything here is definitely a man assault as the boy's reaction examples but that to the source material mostly safety to the

10:48 time translation but not bigoted for you to punch up the dialogue every doubted ed for ITER couple of jokes like there was what bit during despite all right that I've had pretty music wave-like identity is fighting like the big spider dead and it's a nice other glottal lines of I want your eyes over here I think that is by far the funniest one liner in the show yeah so so yeah it's pretty solid so far it's not quite up there with my recent favorite dirty dogs but it's definitely very strong and it's probably many weird of annoyed the plates are seeing circulating here today when this was first announced I can simply say that they were very a more

11:33 day than we got a pretty good product yeah who wants to go next I guess I'll go I would say just after it will pretty much face solid I I have to watch bunch of Steve studies workers are there's a couple episodes of the farm is definite but for wives Oh F got Kaka GUI but other than that everybody seen much of his work but he does priests are job with what he's giving and he's a directory where you want to see more as a more boy and they more and more animates being wif at a Carlin Lucian I have not really familiar with them and script buddy but they did a pretty good job I didn't have a couple of nitpicks well when we get to a certain character

12:19 but one of them I thought was a typo so I realized something but when we get to a certain character later on I'll explain both and I think they did a very good job for the most part nothing ready for that place so I'm good I'll stop I'll stop eating for like five seconds a month I'm starving I didn't get to eat before we record it I claimed I was pulling an ESCO and I was just passed out this tub is really good but this dub is not like okay I like to stop a lot I like it enough to have both of the limited edition sets pre-ordered so which is saying something because we'll get to that final thoughts however there this is I have the same

13:05 problem with it that I have but the promised never land dub which is that it's very good it's very solid it's great but it just doesn't Wow me like it's just very much okay everyone's kind of doing their thing there's maybe one really standout performance in this but we'll get to that because that character is the entire reason I stopped watching the show in the sub like I actively will not watch the show in Japanese anymore not to say that some dumb job is better than some it's like no there's this one specific performance in the subtitle version that drives me up a [ __ ] wall and and but I hear the the sub here is clutching their pearls but but Japanese voice actors don't do bad performances

13:51 it's like it's not a bad word their pearls are clutch they're they're hunched over like a bunch of Karen's crying out in front of a Kroger's I just it's something with Steve say Lee's dogs and I think some California dubs in general is that sometimes they just feel a little too sterile yeah they just feel a little too sterile and and you know what that's fine it's a solid dub it's doing its job it's just I kind of like it when stuff is it like one oh I don't like things going like so far out of left field but like a little bit of vocal variety because there are some casting work choices in here I was like yep yup that's that character because that's what they would sound like in the

14:37 Japanese okay yeah they got this because this is a similar performance to the Japanese which I guess it's finding good and all but sometimes it's just like I don't want that after to have to replicate the subs performance I want them to perform in their own way and interpret the character through their acting to make it their own performance and sometimes when it feels a little too close to the sub it's a little bit distracting in a sense because it's just like okay you you wanna you want a vocal match so that you don't piss off these people who are like well well dubs are bad because because they don't sound like the sub and and this actor sucks because of that and I'll also agree with jet lake

15:22 there's a lot of unfounded unfair assumptions that were made off a trailer the ad maybe like five seconds of an actor's performance in it like highly unfair and the whole like oh well they this actors in way too many things and that sucks in English actors use the same five [ __ ] people it's like literally I could pull up like you skate I think I think it's the guy who plays senko in the sub I think his name is you skate kobayashi yeah I could pull up like any of his work from last year where he was doing like five different characters in summer of twenty twenty nineteen alone so shut up yeah the sub does the exact same thing you're just using your your preference to justify

16:08 bad facts I think the writing on this is really good I I'm not as familiar with Kyle McCarthy as a writer I am a lot more familiar with Lucian dodge as a writer I genuinely love anything that we're solution dodge writes I think the dialogue was pretty good there's maybe a couple times where it felt a little stilted but honestly like you could do a lot worse than being like super literal to the script but overall I genuinely do really like this dub I don't think I think it's a lot like promise Neverland for me last year it works like one performance really six out and could get a dubby for me but the product as a whole I don't think it's gonna get something for me alright ai-ai-ai-aight I really enjoyed this I think it's a good solid dub

16:55 everyone pretty much everyone feels like well-directed I'll bring up a few instances where I thought stuff was maybe a little weak here and there but I was usually kind of minor or felt very actor specific or even just like kind of time period within the show specific I thought like I was angry I was enjoying this a lot I think the writing is very strong I think it is punchy without feeling like it's taking huge liberties with the original text it feels very solid you could be I think you could tell that they probably either knew or guessed that this might get itself on TV or some major streaming platform or something and I think they put in the care of like now we should we should make sure that like this is gonna have eyeballs on it we should put out a good solid english-language tract I

17:40 joined it a lot I think this is if nothing else like do you want to watch the show in a way where you can just you don't have to worry about subtitles so you can look at all that beautiful ooh photo Bowl football do be do a wonderful job doing that you'll enjoy and also see you photo balls really awkward sometimes CGI to 2d on there because there are some awkward as [ __ ] CGI moments looking at you little brother spider looking at you you [ __ ] hell jerk abomination yeah baby I mean there's also just a couple of awkward seeds of dr. air walking through the snow and they don't like you didn't really do you see do there guys okay do you want another one that actually bothered me the most yeah okay so it's after the knees who fights the little brother spider and he's laying on the the shack that's held up

18:27 by the why by the threads Yeah right before Shinobu finds him so his body the breathing animation on him was clearly CG and it bothered the [ __ ] out of me like it looked like a youtube poop CG model that was breathing and then it cut to Shinobu who was very clearly like 2d animated it literally looked like somebody was in VR chat and dying there are days what I just want to be a fly on the wall when certain creative decisions are made just I'm just was it budgetary was it time who a lot who and why that's all I want to know wasn't this Pablo Escobar level of cocaine was it guilt about tax fraud

19:20 about that I didn't sir I am NOT below I like you we what we like your work but you should [ __ ] with the Japanese IRS I can't imagine there any nicer than the american IRS Oh anyways they're like I can't believe they're following after Japanese icon European [ __ ] with their taxes I really enjoyed the stuff I thought it was really well solid and really well put together there's good stuff so let us let us now dig into just just out of truly a truly unfortunate number of characters we're gonna talk about all at once I'm sorry editor who might be me for having to cram this many people on screen but we're gonna talk about a bunch of the Demon Slayer core because

20:07 they are important but about 75% of them basically only show up in the last like four or five episodes and they don't talk that much so we're just gonna kind of lump them all together let me let me get up my notes so I can remember who the [ __ ] all these people are at least three of them are him Bo's unquestionably at least three of them are him Bo's alright first up we have kaga kagyu uh ub Aashiqui he's in charge of that he's in charge of the Demon Slayer Corps he's this big blind guy who gives soft proclamations and everybody listens to him even though he mostly just seems to surround the place real home doing who knows what I'm sure well I'm sure if I dread farther among guide know now but I haven't so that's him

20:55 we have Giotto Tomioka he eats like a you has no friends he does not have any friends he is the guy who helps save Mitsuko early earlier in the show and he shows up again he does not seem to get along with anyone in particular poor bastard we have Shinobu coach show are you someone who likes currently who will step on you well congratulations I found your favorite character do you also like do you also like bugs do you also have a doctor fetish this is also accurate he's quote fun unquote we have Kyoto ring Goku his

21:44 hair looks like it's on fire because he's a fire guy exactly I've also been told that he likes to ride the train yes he plays a very important part of the train movie that's coming out later this year so you know keep your eyes peeled for that for this bad boy when you're watching that he might make a notable appearance we have a Mitsuda Conroe gee he is green and pink hair she's very nervous she's easily vowed by people it's the over once she also wants to [ __ ] like half the demon player core I

22:30 mean look I mean I mean look at them they're all very pretty but pretty much everyone if you think about it we have ego to open eye who's this creepy header creepy dude with heterochromia his eyes are two different colors his powers are snake based because of course they are looking up we have a son ma oh boy sunny may Sheena's tsugawa there you go he's very loud he's exceptionally loud he might be the second loudest character in the show he has a bit of a hate voter against mezack o cuz does it go as a demon he tries to make an example of her it doesn't really go the way he's planned so you know and

23:17 it directly leads to the best shot of does it go in the show or she's just sitting in her little box angry don't touch my [ __ ] [ __ ] just fuming at him from from her from her box it's great we have Guillaume a kimijima he cries a lot he's a he's a real or just we people would be beep we have a tengan buzu news we lose we lose we thank you is we he has tattoos on his face I know Tyra Tech Lee classify him as a wife guy this will not make sense until season two unless you read a head into manga so put a pin in that one for later and you can have up we can all have a good hearty chuckle of like a year so what you say he's a waifu dad no he's a wife guy there's a difference okay

24:04 we have me Chiara Toki Toki toe he's kind of a space case if memory serves he just sort of mmm he's not paying attention and we also we also we have again yo Sheena's Ogawa he's another guy who has joined the Demon Slayer Corps around the same time as Tanjore Onizuka oh [ __ ] he's angry looking he hasn't shown up much he will probably be important later he has an undercut let's say you know it's him look I I am I am very bad at name so a lot of times the only way I'll remember characters is what they look like I just realized something about those names to what we're gonna save that for wait okay that's kind of awesome Euler oh I see

24:51 hey we also have cano Yuri she is sort of a sort of a semi Lackey for our dojo he's very quiet she uh she's she's animate to face basically why would you say that what cuz it's correct that's why you're correct by just because you're correct [Music] look there is a baseless one note similarity between these two characters and I'm gonna make that observation

25:37 about our how wrongheaded it is as it's my right as a nerd on the Internet damn I can't that's flawless logic [ __ ] huzzah let me just put on my cloud shoes and finally we have a a Kahn's act who's she basically works in this training hall that our protagonist gets sent to I have to get the [ __ ] beat out of them so they can recover and have their limbs grow back to the correct size she's very stern but she's a nice lady in the end are you doing how you doing none of the other sections will be this love thank God yeah anyways Jeff would you like to go first again I was so

26:31 excited to be done I forgot that I wasn't finished shut the [ __ ] up you all can y'all [ __ ] y'all [ __ ] on YouTube can read that's the pictures we were now no no I have it I have it here I could be very quick about it you gotta stop the axes first so exactly Ubu Yashica is played by Matthew Mercer he would know for playing Jotaro Kujo and Jojo as among other things Gyo is played by Johnny Yong Bosch you know if we're playing leo and premiere among other things Shinobu coach show is played by Erica harlacher you know her for lots of stuff recently she played ELLs and B stars kyo judo is played by Marc Whitten who you might know for playing a pseudonym outer kina gah Eureka

27:17 yes sir Marge si Super Mario you're doing Super Mario in gutsy geeky token ranbu I met sooner econ Rho G is played by Keira Buckland he go to open I is played by Eric Scott c'mere come here kid my camera thank you Sunday May she knows ooo gamma is played by kg tang yo may he he made Jima is played by Crispin Freeman tengan newsy who's Susie who's V is played by ray chase meat shooter took taquitos played by Griffin burns Kenya shooting tsugawa is played by is you know robinson cano theory is played by a brianna Nichkhun Nichkhun Bakker and cons Ock is played by remeber who did it all I know is that when you

28:04 said that Moochie roars Griffin burns all I can think is mochi mochi mochi mochi reown s no I will never not I will never stop doing that for any Griffon birds character because he is a dopey oh and uh Joe Joe as par 5 if you're watching this on YouTube hopefully the image for Griffin Birds the [ __ ] frog to his face it will don't you worry god bless your heart jet now would you like to go and share our ABS here I will be quick with my clearance of these and how we rape a bird did a river bird did a really good job it's well it's Bertie's pretty much always good at things I thought they did a lap dog he

28:50 did a very good job of making a team at sea very stern toward sides or any others I got a I got a few good chuckles out of that but didn't lead to too much pressure on me outside of that yeah but I didn't like the character so if he does show up later on definitely looking forward as a barber let's see Mercer as the blind leader guy he's as I a peep again it's again it's about Mercer he's pretty much always did and I definitely enjoyed him here it's a lot it's a lot softer than a lot of the work he's we tend to do but being simply done that sort of thing before I thought I did a very good job of just good being

29:36 disliked very kind of Cerrito to him where where he says where he says very polite but also in a polite but firm kind of way we could also kind of - why everyone had so much respect for him and I definitely want a mystery surrounding this guy that I imagine we won't learn for quite a while but I'd a free there intrigued and that's doing a pretty good job with him so far and sad going down so the other geeky as I read it's like read Goku he has a lot of he has a flaming head of hair very loud and bark with AD Marc Whitten is very loud a little bit I believe really familiar with Marc Whitten [ __ ]

30:25 Pope [ __ ] that Pope oh wait [ __ ] that's Jeremy [ __ ] assisted [ __ ] the Pope's assistant he's an actual delft you can get the daddy credit if it's a pretty decent guy on by just I'm just saying have sex with set this what's the worst that could happen I'm down but anyway I thought mark did a really good job it's definitely a lot

31:10 higher pitched compared to he plead said if it's IRA blue but it's not a pretty good and I have we've had four hearing to report stuff so bring it on Kiera Buckley as bait sorry Kiera buckles played very sweet gauges before so this isn't anything to do for her but I thought you did a pretty good you pretty good job of making carrot sound like very weirdly Thursday even in a very sweet way but I mean once I had a little board to say but he only had like maybe five lines so yeah I kind of a similar deal with Eric Scott Cooper as like heterochromatic angry snake guy and he was he was definitely very snarky and it

31:56 was a little like raspier than a lot of than some of their it's other roles was that that was kind of interesting and I did cover appreciate a bit like a voice of dissent side where he did we really like the most skeptical and I thought I got very good a pretty good job of playing that up that was like that was kind of interesting even if I didn't want to see that cared about the fates after a while that's accurate Chris would free bid it is always thanks to here Crispin Freeman at David's because he's a because he's really TV on babies they which is very unfortunate but it's nice they see him here I which he had a little board to do then just like cry very loudly but that was kind

32:43 of amusing hopefully the character gets bored to do soon as I read chase as Ted did I did that's always kind of nice to hear a chase and things I thought he I thought he did a good job and Beckett of skaters I'm fairly immunity for like the three or four lives he had where he apparently wants everything to be very dramatic which is a bit of a weird quirk but I guess I guess we'll learn more about that eventually again I wish I had more to say about a lot of these characters but they are kind of literally like maybe five or six wise and then like nothing else Griffin birds as maturity kind of has the least slides that I've ever wanted

33:30 this section probably did do a very good job of sounding kind of Spacey like I don't want to be like I don't want to be here like you I want to be here like a flying saucer so I thought I thought that was kind of amusing now they do Robert season Viva Robertson as Genya and we early he only really has any wise like the side like at Episode four or five after final selection uh but it's always but Peter Robinson it's definitely getting up there and I'm always glad to hear me do things and I was gonna be doing a good job at making

34:15 jenia seen very other I don't want to see I don't wanna say like super angry but definitely like very rough around the edges and I definitely very intrigued to learn more about its character so I'm definitely glad he's going to be more relevant later up and I'm carry to see what else he get to do there what's up about the egg race carrier in this section KZ tagged as somebody here because that dude absolutely furious all the time I thought yeah yeah I mean if they over lately if you could've might be white hair like big Avery eyes and like stars across his face this is a clearly this is clearly a married that that's he's

35:03 very well-adjusted I can tell you know you want it eat my blood here take this oh man sees this reboot of my hero academia is wild yeah he does remind me a park ago so it'll be the end credits animation for the next season he does

35:49 have that he does have a lot of respect towards the master if kind of aggressively but he is also definitely very much it's not afraid to get his way which is why it is very satisfied with dies right right ahead but in definitely to do what is probably one of the better jokes at the back half the dub where I got [ __ ] row gets dragged off you like immediately roids baggy like narrow and I have work here there's work to be done thank you tons row is a nice boy but when he sets his mind on something he's gonna get it done yes it's his mind on something alright didn't you know that Todd row is that this Pokemon tantaros

36:36 best attack his head but a British brand Knickerbocker as a con I'll bring a dick about there isn't my game suit is it super big day for Pat while keeping around but but I was like here here a new things that I don't you did a very good job here Akane Oh doesn't have a whole lot to say but not because she's not to chew that much that's just like literally the character because as we see with her back story as he definitely has a lot of reason to not be very talkative but they did well I do have like some [ __ ] without the two handles flashbacks I didn't think hers in particular was

37:21 pretty well done and we've got a pretty good sense of like whatever character is why she doesn't like to talk that much as I and how she kind of like struggles with making decisions on a road and I thought that was all handled really well and I picked up a Bree and did a pretty good job of like making that all come across and her actual performance and where she doesn't seem like kind of emotionally stunted she's she has a very kind of robotic todor where he's clearly just very used to following orders doing things very directly so and so in cheek that's what she kind of record - Todd retirees like oh yeah they wanted like wait what does not compute very curious

38:08 to see where that goes and I've definitely enjoyed it before but so far yeah but I probably have the boats to say a bad key when Shinobu because they're probably the most relevant characters of the section so so what you type is relative jadi a Bosch is pretty much eternal there it's like a very small period of time Bertie like he wasn't getting quite as much work as he used to but he's definitely made a pretty good strawberry the last couple years so we did him in a show as big as this was probably inevitable if that's called a setting in anyways because I mean there's a 2-byte else I could say here I mean it's instead of boss people

38:54 are they ever turned in about performance has he I mean is only said once I can actually critique every but bad jet society I could definitely say that a Saudis key you does actually sound a little different than what top of your soccer I were doing the Japanese because it's well it's time for soccer I and it was Johnny's voice would that be like a little softer but it definitely so works I thought that I did a really good job of making you some come off with you know very wise and seasoned which makes is it is a ration to Todd romantics really understandable excuse kind of setting there whatever what that kid is doing yeah but at the same time about he is kind of Satan series he's not like totally unreasonable anybody see that designated dangerous he's willing to vouch for her and give Todd

39:39 zero very brief loss and how to defend himself which he he didn't really have to do all that so if he's a pretty decent guy and if it makes a lot of its that adequate parrot we're at the house you know we're pretty funny and if we got a couple of good last watching historic attitude play golf and prayer like very blood polite this and I wish I had a little board to say about this one but like it was I she doesn't have a whole ton to do this season but John even if we work anywhere with what he had but with that let's we want to the realist artists such in that big erica harakiri she doable I didn't know who was put into place you do boo but in hindsight Erica how charity like a pretty smart choice since he does a pretty good job here her she do boo reminds me a lot of how she plead you be killed you Bobby from category and that

40:26 heard general turns heads very sweet nice which is just something a little sinister about it that makes a bit feel very into the insincere that definitely really works with you know boo and while it might seem like she's that being very friendly and polite a lot of the ballot results were not afraid to be very blunt which he want to be and like when Jesus led you to his face I know what else really likes him and I thought that hope it was pretty funny she could also be pretty cold like when one of these spiders is asking for healthy he agreed only under the condition that this fighter suffers the same level of pain is every person's ever killed which is pretty what yes yeah at the same time though that sweet sincerity doesn't make it doesn't make things too surprising what

41:13 it turns out the whole portunity gives off it's just kind of a basque and i even if he talks about for freddy deeb it's he has about as much hatred towards empathy others players do and she can't really understand how anyone else could think doing tough to think it's possible but she does respect that Eric tried to do with it so he kind of carried on to the lead seemed if she doesn't actually feel them ourselves and what you do boo actually does open up the tie through a little bit Erica is overall to sounds a lot more buried more sincere I don't really like to there with like a very notable noticeable difference with that I'd also like that out what do we do get bled to breed frost I prefer younger self and kaido's backstory haircut you do but it sounds a lot more emotional went down to earth and it definitely helps you better sell the idea that

41:58 boats of what you doing currently just like an acting pretty god and again well I got like super sure where this janitors going to end up go away guy definitely liked her so for and so far and probably as far as the lady that they share ago I think it's probably my favorite performance yeah yeah I don't watch la la dub so you gotta fight sub comparison to the car now Kanaya I said this before the super episode that she had hands like note citrate Saxton to a voice I do think I've followed Sabo cash she's kinda were the weaker words doc that Desa Sarah bad performance it's just that at first I

42:44 thought it's a little robotic about my secretary watches because it's kind of Westbury because she gives off a worry told what she doesn't look it and cuts the character doesn't talk his punches bad fact when you gave to her flashback and she starts doing it didn't seem quite right to me that dolly that but didn't mean fair character decided because I tried to fight for context how old this character was but the character card looks 12 to me to be honest but the voice would I guess the voice would work track what she be more mature - needs to be so with him versus taquito yeah he doesn't talk much and say a lot but I am starting to pick up on his voice now thanks to another show he said boom that's the day let's

43:31 see who's next I guess you could do a re Kanzaki Weber / people I realized I haven't listened to a lot of stuff she said I haven't seen a god get on life but I do realize that as it compares the chance to voice told similar to Alex more to what she kinda it really kind of shows you add to the towards Tyler or the others and I thought that came off very playful and very charming ray chases oh sorry I'm gonna be honest I did I didn't remember it was very chase because I saw too much I saw the Karikari I was like hey Kate you take how you do it Oh again you can horsing off exactly thank you okay for was worth Crispin Freeman

44:20 well first off holy [ __ ] talk about Crispin Freeman second fall holy [ __ ] talk about crisp eat free bit but see in your bedroom well yeah highs for today quite even if you played a character that whose design kinda looks like kabob assassination classroom but he was very sob buries his tempers very deep for a guy who weeps a lot I'll get what he's doing this yes I can't wait to find out X got camera yeah I can recognize Eric Scott cable almost instantly die but his toad is it fits the character especially

45:06 waste can't be bit slippery I'm not saying that because he's a snake artists and killed Buckley killed Buckley I don't need no is just like this soft-spoken Qaeda character like maybe sometimes we had to do so but see her seen her display this Qaeda thirst for crew members I guess it makes sense because my head that because this character wad burger I mean come on come on pinky pinky green tell me you in think of Weidman's which is funny because before was even as I said myself please let you speak Arabic because I could see you doing this kind of easily like she's been able to do is cut the easily very easily actually dryer Bosch

45:51 is you I'm gonna be honest much like a pure bucket I kinda saw this coming because it just looks like he's trying Yong Bosch character to me what can I say does faker drop voice giving and like you say he's never put off a bad performance as far as I can remember but my quitting is when Goku yeah mock weddings which displays a very gung-ho attitude with his character to the point out both sides characters kind of cockeyed cuz every time you see him speak on screen he's not really looking away particularly just got like those dead set eyes on you bring Goku is a weird looking [ __ ] oh yes yes it's the eyebrows man it's

46:37 the [ __ ] eyebrows I haven't seen things that bushy since fully coolly oh yes yes I remember now that was a trip and Magnus is the bastard the mansion it's amazing for a guy who looks like he had the hot wire spilled on his face he did he did very good this character like I don't get talked about matter so much but I did recognize a bit first that I see is their request as like way he was in this episode was it just later episodes I realized he was the bastard imagine it makes perfect sense now birth courses jet pointed that

47:23 way hard before we get to her second Robinson is ganyard from the final selections ode he did very good we did very good for what know he spoke and you know he he got wet hard character cuz you know he was very temperamental so to the point when you see human in later episodes which I didn't realize to time zero point yeah that's like okay that's you you know I can't wait to see what he does to actually character but of course the start of the section is Hanukkah and Shinobu culture which yeah it's a good thing you pointed out coffee GUI because I could see the sarcasm she takes with her toe you know she comes

48:08 off as cheerful but you know just that underlying sense of dread at times which is odd because there was also the flashbacks he was canal and you could see her being angry with her sister and it didn't make any sense at first bite you see what she kind of adopted that nature front but yeah man which she could be that's what she wants to be but she's also deadly so don't let look fool you it's kind of fake she's deep I guess the pharmacist to this a debate whether you play the character who has eyes buzz wise like if you were cocaine user now now back in that day would probably be opium yeah definitely opium well Oh [ __ ] coca leaves you know I have a fgfc

48:53 is definitely bad at OPM at least once are we gonna make the alignment chart of wake has done weed has done weed once in light about it would never touch weed is the dealer my favorite one of those lists is somebody who did it for horse girl who would be the horse girl and Fire Emblem three houses I saw that one that is my [ __ ] favorite one next also the video of it's a Tech Talk it's like POV the horse the drunk or Cyril at the party decides to defend you if it's like by the power of star clan they like stop their foot and go running after a

49:39 guy it's like the funniest [ __ ] video sorry Jamal go ahead yes I can pretty much tap that alright I guess I'll go let's start with the characters who talked the least she mo she gotta okay every time you guys keep talking about a taquito I think you're saying taquitos so no I just want to call him taquito mochi mochi mochi mochi taquitos someone just got up and left so much like I can't I can't work under these conditions you've driven away the host if you're proud of yourself do you are you going to get a taquito no I unplugged my

50:26 headphones back so then bump the desk putting it back in oh no I like Griffin burns and things her friend burns is a great actor so I'm really encouraged to see what this character is gonna do later on I thought in his little like love the cloud was really adorable because that characters really adorable a ray chase is not the best mom ever boon Bruno in this show he does a good job being smug and big I could have seen it being kg Chang if they would have switched them around Eric Scott camera I like Eric Scott Kim ER I wish Eric Scott Kimber wasn't more things I watched I loved him to death in your lie in April so I'm looking forward to him as a mr. sneaky snack in this and I thought care

51:14 about go and as meet Sarah meet sir he was really cute who haven't talked about yet it's always nice to hear Crispin Freeman of things so I'm enjoying Kristen Freeman crying in your courtyard he's a lot of fun sadly no Yuri Lowenthal so tell him to get out there's plenty of time to do you know they might've been there somewhere listen here if you could just put ray chase number taste Kristen Freeman and Yuri Lowenthal into something again where they get to yell at each other I'll be a happy person also be if I can just always reference the noene bloopers and the Durarara bloopers it's a good night um where am I oh [ __ ] face Mick attacks shit-faced

52:02 Mick attacks nesic oh I really enjoyed getting to hear crazy cagey was great I was very threatened by him but not turned on because he's a bad person who would hurt a child um sorry I like I like bad boy sometimes not that bad boy the only thing he deserves to be he deserves to get his head kicked but his head footage bite on trow and his other kick in his other head kicked by netskope Oh Nessa coast Pokemon move is mega kick um no but I really really like kg tank and I really like son of Robinson its Kenya for what we heard of him they sound Kenya does sound younger then

52:47 son son son May which is really good and I do like how Tanja row just like [ __ ] breaks his arm at one point for being an [ __ ] to children yeah man what an oddly coincidental shared trait they get kicked out after it final selection after that yeah you grabbing the grabbing the teacher man what the hell oh but no as somebody who's it's the first time I got to talk about is I know I was genuinely impressed with them and I've genuinely been impressed with what I've heard him in and other things this year konna Brianna Knickerbocker she was cute she was quiet um unfortunately like I think she did sound robotic but I think

53:32 that's that's part of that character and I okay see where it goes from there Raven pers how weak on sake how we caught sake is the best character in the show um a because Aki is actual best girl [ __ ] off and fight me I love her I love rapists performance rapist somebody who's been growing on my radar and I liked what I've heard her in and other things cuz I I think I've gotten the chance to listen to her B and other stuff and I know that she is somewhere and the Madoka's spin-off which I think we actually at the talked about setting up a day to record that soon cuz that's done alright let's talk let's talk about fire eyebrows cuz I don't think I've talked about him yet hi mark I got to get used to you and as

54:18 not Dragon Pope but just it man I'm sorry Seth is this really attractive um in his voice his welcome performance helps but I wasn't super sold on him his friend Goku I'm actually a little worried about him I think he sounds a little too raw I think that he's not able to balance having a good performance and being overtly loud that well yet and and that's not because marks a bad actor I think it's also genuinely not fair to him that his character hasn't actually gotten to do much and uh I've been told the trainer can fit into a movies length of time yeah yeah they could like that that that is that is compact enough that you can easily make that like a 90 minute 2 hour

55:04 movie without too much trouble I'm just a little worried that we're not gonna be able to see Marc get to adapt and do it as you would and the chance to have maybe that arc be like five or six episodes of a show especially because movies have to constrict things for time and like Jett said this show has a really really really bad way of putting in flashbacks that is actually like one of my biggest detriment to the show in terms of tonality and pacing and I actually think that does affect a lot of the performances in the show - Oh points there there the show expects me to know why certain actors are acting in a certain way but it's gonna give me that information after I've reached that point so now

55:50 it's asking me to it's not a show that like on your first watch through you can understand the letter form you watch things in the performance so I'm a little bit worried for mark there but again I think he's doing okay just not as good as I expected it to be um Matthew Mercer uh you guys have all seen the scary movie that the scary movie where she's like Beyonce you know the Beyonce you know what it is if I would send it to you but that's my entire point is when I call you to talk to it both Andrew and I were just like Mercer so hey Matt um what'd you do what's up

56:36 buddy uh I'm hoping you're like being kind of creepy ominous blind man I thought he was pretty good again not enough for the character to be there I like the kind of general unnerving this that he gives also I like when tandra is leaving the mansion and he just whispers say hi to Tommy Oh for me and Todd Rose like wait what um Roger was like wait boy as he's going um Shinobu I actually was like oh it's Erica harlacher what a safe choice I felt like sometimes that she was a little bit too constricted to the say use performance uh cuz Oh God who the [ __ ] did her in Japanese yes sorry yeah I was like okay yeah that makes a lot of

57:22 sense I liked it a lot I really like when she gets to be more glitty evil than like good I love when she's like when she's talking to an actual number one hear of Demon Slayer Murata has played by koi dal when he comes out of the thing naked and it's like oh I just came from Asteria poisoning I know by the way all your clothes are gone but your body's fine okay bye and he's just like oh and he just like shuffles away well I thought she was really good there I thought her flashback stuff is really good but then again you would also want your older sister to be eerie sl1 on Vernon's voice I was like oh it's julius wheel that's that's um would you have me not yes I was like it's Bridgette

58:09 Hoffman I hear Bridgette uh uh Bridgette [ __ ] and then oh you who has no friends Johnny Yong Bosch was pretty good in this again it's hard to find bad Johnny Bosch performances these days I think there was another performance he did last year that was a lot stronger and tedward hint-hint he's the king of the gays in a certain film but no I really liked it I really liked how kind of deadpan he is ask you because you is just like okay so he's like saitama's okay face if he was an entire personality deadpan and uh because I still remember when she no boot talks about like I guess no further

58:56 so yes she asked what is he doing his life hey keep it Mikey's got her in a headlock oh that's like my favorite that's like one of my favorite scenes is like here's got her in a headlock her heel has like a knife on it and it's like aimed at his face and the birds like cut back to the mansion and they're just holding each other like well this is [ __ ] awkward so yeah I like Johnny a lot in this I thought he was a lot of fun I also like County you is literally on the line for anezka bikes things but I don't think that he's a hundred percent okay with that because it's like if necessary was to ever by anyone tonzura record hockey in key you will all commit seppuku and he's like welp this is my wife

59:41 you've kasaya yourself to this fate ha I decided to just give them what they want it's bit easier this way anyway go ahead I'm done Mercer was really I liked him as Kaguya he's commanding and a little unnerving because I don't know I call it a hunch I just don't think things are gonna be as simple as they appear as the story goes on I don't know something about everything well he did play dick called Yahshua as his children so I mean he does have that kind of creepy cult leader vibe a term that isn't helping though what no you think a guy who's running an organization of child soldiers the killer killer demons this

1:00:28 has nothing under nothing out no demons of the closet themself I'm already gone but Tommy oh so I mean who can say certainly not me I'm behind on the print volumes as it is much less the manga in general well to be fair now you can just go read all of the manga through mrs. Apple I can't but it's true fact I like this performance though I like I like I liked mark Ezrin Goku he was loud I'm probably more interested in seeing him in the movie because like that is kind of like the story line or Ringo who gets the most chance to shine and so I'm interested to see what he gets to do there similarly I'm I like I liked ray chase as newsy but I'm also interested in what he's gonna do what's probably gonna be

1:01:14 like the first big storyline of season 2 which also prep which probably features his character and I feel like he's gonna get a lot of chance to shine there especially given how that plays out mmm oh I can't wait for season 2 it's gonna be it's good oh the Internet's gonna lose its mind a good way or a bad way yes it depends on what you want out of life you know what do you want out of your show Dan animate anyways what else Carolyn Kiros fun as misery she was just very Oh everybody oh she was fun I liked I liked Eric Scott as a B'nai he was he was just a

1:02:00 good good snaky boy a lot of these a lot of these are just like I feel like especially the scene you get kind of a broad overview of what these characters are like so they begin and get a more depth look at them in a later storyline and I thought for all these performances I thought they did a good job of like here's what this character as light as a serve a baseline and I did think a lot of these actors did that well guide you was really fun as sodomy he's just so mean what a jerk sheesh I'm glad he got hit in the head he deserved that serves you right jerk Christopher was really funny is Gil Gil May just weeping profusely Griffin was really fun as Mashiro just being a

1:02:45 big old space cadet you know Ronson get could do too much as Jenny as we've mentioned but I did like his presence and I do like that there then the people making this clear where this character is going to be big news later on I do think they've at least kind of like here this is our casting choice now so you can remember that later when you're gonna when you're gonna thank us for this yeah what else I like Brianna as kinda oh I thought she'd just do a good job playing this very like sort of quiet character who I feel like this kind of rolled it's often challenging as a voice actor because a lot of what the character is going to do is going to be physical which you don't have control over you can just do the vocal part and I thought she matched that really well reboot was fun is how

1:03:31 he just ordering people around I also liked her like three like sidekicks at the mansion the Tangier cheer squad yes we're just like oh no they blow up a guard this day big or this big and they're just very sunny and it excited about everything I thought they were a hoot they I agree I think the standouts are definitely johnnyís gua Erica is Shinobu I think Johnny just does a good job of playing this character who's in another life would have been the protagonist of his own series but he's not anymore which i think is appropriate cuz I'm sure if this show came out in like 2006 there's probably like at least a 50/50 chance they would have cast Johnny as tanja ro and I thought you didn't you know a good bet and I also really liked

1:04:17 Erica Shinobu I thought she just did a good job of being very it's just that thing of like are you evil you seem evil but I can't decide if you are evil you will probably hurt me you're under me and she did get she was very good at that and I enjoyed that a lot yeah good good solid set of characters and now that that section is pass through this podcast much like a rat through a snake let's go on to a much shorter section you know the show has spider monsters big old family of spider monsters incredibly dysfunctional it's very upsetting very upsetting very also very well designed very well this it's very

1:05:03 creepy real talk like I think they are some of my favorite designs in anime last year like I [ __ ] love this my family designs so they they look they look absolutely fantastic it's it's great that there's a unification between them but they all look distinct it's wonderful and we're gonna talk about them first stuff we have we have Rui he appears to be one of the sons he's actually the person in charge you can tell this because he's the only one who gets an actual name everyone else just gets generic titles he's not a nice boy he's not good people and you can tell this because he's basically coerced a bunch of other people into being his fake spider family and mutating them dope all sorts of horrifying monster cities such as the

1:05:50 father who was a big spider face dude the mother who's a little more normal looking but very sad the older brother who sort of uh he locally look so like those people in ocarina of time have been cursed to turned into spiders and so they're kinda half spider he's awesome he's also very unnerving CGI oh yeah you bet he's the only reason he's not the most unnerving is the most unnerving of the spider people is that little like spider baby that runs into I can never take I can actually never take that moment seriously because of Kaiser neck oh oh no kind of but in the best way possible so if you don't follow uh Scott I can't say his loss a front Fredrick's Erik farik's causer deco on

1:06:37 Twitter there is an amazing video he made of that baby spider do you mean going up does any to going hey man what some weed just screams so whenever I see that seed I just hear that spider thing going hey man what's weed and we also have the older sister spider who who initially seems like he's bad news but much like many of the demons and this she's just some sad poor lot so that you feel bad for it and playing these characters really is played by Billy commits you know for a bunch of things including playing Jessica and diamond is unbreakable the father is played by killing golf not with a filter mind you that's his real voice because I guess he went down to the crossroads may the devil with the

1:07:24 voice acting maybe with the voice acting devil or something can I say something so that nobody else spoils this moment for me certain the spider demon sounds like the father spider demon sounds like stitch it sounds like stitch from Lilo & Stitch he convinced me otherwise I thought he was gonna tell I thought he was going to ask them to stop touching his Ohana I mean that is a compliment Kellan you know for playing such roles as the boss and golden wind the mother is played by Allegra Clark you know for a lot of things such as Jinyu and FLCL progressive the older brother is played by Derek Steven Prince Hugh no for playing various digimon characters and tied to him I got su and blade of the

1:08:09 immortal and the older sister sister is played by erica lynn beck you know for a lot of things including Sayaka Ekadashi in kakigori jet do you wanna start us off again sure I'm probably gonna go to reverse order and eventually to I will add the older sister I thought she did a very I thought you did a very good job there and really I haven't heard Erica went agony like major role I thought you to me yes I thought you did a pretty she did a pretty good job here and she'd she definitely baby sister Tabitha is very much being a victim

1:08:54 which which was definitely a twist I didn't see coming initially I wasn't totally sure what the whole family bill and if we felt very cyber when she was just getting beat up constantly may really because really sucks a lot and and I thought Erica did it and I that Erica did a pretty good job with and I also definitely appreciated her delivery where when she had look at it cut by cheetah who boo and as is he like a cheat I said outplay a crisis like oh I really I really feel like maybe five or six people but I was forced into it was like things like laugh am I telling you you throw that leaves like eighty people

1:09:42 that's as much as eight tens and that's terrible that's as much as eight tens and that's terrible Dericks even prints it it's even prints doing it bad voice well the iPod boy without going like the full Al Capone would bit but it's so basically at Bob but that voice is always kind of fun to hear out of him and I thought he did a pretty good job giving in giving it this very like far over the top five but not like a super it's our duty see way as I and I thought the way he added that performance a lot of fun I got his favorite anything wasn't like super super super super impressed a but it was so a pretty interesting little chair dad

1:10:28 and I like the way that whole thing wrapped that's a nap was pretty fun and electric work as the spider brother and look at Clark definitely has a lot of Rage and I've always kind of surprised to see how wide if you get so I could immediately tell it with liquor Clark but once I definitely did people together I definitely got I'm pretty if you're gonna want to be a bit out of it out of it like Erica hard liquor she is very much framed as a taboos victim and I definitely felt very sorry very immediately which makes it all the nicer went on to row gets are a very nice mercy table even if you know it whatever nice we could have saved her somehow but this isn't that kind of show unfortunate way seven kellard cough as these fighter

1:11:17 dad Kellogg off with another person who's raged could to she competed suicide be at every dude thing I heard of in I mean I read first okay every first you hear his overhaul and by here with you before it's like okay that's pretty good Village Voice like I don't really like this rip never heard of it like this one character what price fancy to do where he gave him like this very big doctor claw voice and I better look like there's this character a gold a tweed and then there's a switches which as Megan said is like basically centrally they would say that it's like I don't know how he does it but like this ribbon is definitely under Nisei as mad as it was it's a will house the David be able to try because it's like voice I think with the Dre I don't know

1:12:03 how he better use to do all these crazy voices but it's definitely very impressive and I've got a really good kick out of this wood and it is definitely very much a predictable black magic intended for me because like again I really don't know how the heck you been at the pool that I forgot filter but it was really really impressive yeah but a court but of course the definitive start of this section is definitely a ability to match it really because it really is a bruit is quite a character so I've got pretty you too Billy commenced with an actor by this point and but here would this role was actually a little surprising and well he simply played software cofee characters before I kind of used to him play very

1:12:50 loud jobs like Giusti or Gallio and I definitely haven't heard of tackle Eddie Villard roles and well baby bit Kayla charity Hagar but caught Mikayla bill wood has kind of a little bit of a stretch his rule about saying we Bisbee exactly I kicked around my bed [ __ ] gonna obey that it's kind of you thought I feel really bad for him but anyway why he would have expected is able to get classes where we I really joined it and if Boise is a little deeper than what the character design would apply but there's this unsettling softness to it that just kind of makes that work and it's something about the way he talks at bigs really sound very creepy and almost every CDs in and pretty much every time he opens his mouth and it was fully doesn't help that Ruiz sweet rid of his quote-unquote families basically just abuse and Billy really knows how to play

1:13:36 about an abuser and he felt this general - it makes it clear that he's very you to have his way
