About smathels
The Very Essence of Me

Of course I'm here for the sole purpose of noting what I have or have not seen in anime/manga, what I like is that I can set a plan to watch method for stuff that looks interesting but have delayed it.
I guess the main thing I want to note is that i mainly listen to the English dubs of anime, now I can understand if someones opinion of the dub actor/actress is pants, but no one will say the same thing for the Japanese track *shrugs*.

Anyhow I'm more in place of existence to show what is not out of the ordinary, but extraordinary. The fine balance of self indulged eccentricity, unintelligent wit and pure rage of unexpected/failed events. How I cope with this is usually a peaceful mind and a swift kick to the perpetrators bollocks. Not the on the internet though, that's just full of narrow minded pricks who think they're the best thing since the Messiah, that or they're Muslim.

Dub Studio Listing

Being such a dub adict I have to put this in order (1= highest 8=lowest)


  1. Bang Zoom - There's no doubt these people know what they're doing spcially under direction of Mr.P.Shermen. Plus there's oodles of actors/actresses that I admire, from Mona Marshell to Michelle Ruff.
  2. Funimation - More a less to this date, with it's cast, a copy to ADV. It would have been the case that you'd only here such people like Eric Vale, Lura Bailey or Catlin Glass, now it's only more evident that ADV cast are working for Funi.
  3. Ocean Group - Bandai Visual and Geneon used this studio quite a lot and in early years even Funi did, the best thing to come out of them to date is Black Lagoon/Shana, and it's always nice to here a change of pace of actors that of America
  4. NYS - Just as much as ocean group, it's a nice change of pace to listin to others. Notable you'll find a lot of 4kids actors here, but to hear Dan Green out from playing card games, to seeing Mike Pollock going for higher stakes other then catching hedghogs is a treat to the ear. Though I kinda feel that Lisa Ortiz and Veronica Taylor are the only things going for them
  5. ADV studios - at the begging they weren't much and such cock ups with Dir Steve Foster made it worse, but in later years they started to pick up, unfortunately not for long (RIP)
  6. Viz studios - OK so mainly there's a lot of people from the bang zoom studios that may appear here, but then why is the main protagonist so crap D:< (yes Naruto where talking bout you smoking habit)
  7. Bluewater - part of the ocean group based in Alberta, Canada. Who knows these actors, are they even worth knowing. It can be just bearable to listen to the dub, just brace yourself
  8. Any Hentai studio - pretty self explanatory, with such feckin plonker alias like Long Dong Silver, how anyone can take that performance seriously "HOLY CAPSLOCK THAT GUY KNOWS HOW TO ORGASM!"

    Visual Novel Corner

    Well not so much VN's but more along the lines of Adventure Visual Games (AVG), though still they contain traces of using visual novel elements. These are ones that I've personally tried and believe that beyond the simple choice of destiny lark.

    Galaxy Angel
    is by far the most excelling game I've been able to play. GA was thought up by Broccoli just as much as other original creative anime like Eva, Nadesico or Techi Mayo. The sole purpose was to create a franchise with the material, but compared to Nadesico where story's intertwined with games, GA's anime to game were completely different scenarios.To sum up, you play the role as Tact, a young commander of the Transbaal empire who has to lead the Angel brigade to victory against a military coup.
    What I admire about this game is that there's no mass of descriptive text, it's all you interacting with the characters or Tact mumbling to himself. The most thing that puts me in ewe is the 3D battle system during space fights, one blog described it as "better then the gundam games" now I'm not one to comprehend, but I can play this thing on my laptop and it still looks amazing.
    Thank God there's now a fan translation of the product, and for people who have a copy of the first GA game can play the first 4 chapters in English :) Find It Here


    Preper Yourselves for Uber Angel Pwnage!




    Lighting Warrior Raidy
    You guessed it you play as a woman, who fights beast women, "1+1=" anyone. That's right a window, the plot may be transparent but the experience defiantly isn't. You play as Raidy, a twenty something year old warrior who can summon lighting (hence the name), who has traveled to the town of Sadd to find that there are no young people at all. Women where captured and taken to this nearby tower, men tried to rescue them but never returned, it's so sad (ugh). Anyhow the most promising thing to come out of this is the 3D dungeon crawling with simple turn based battling, much like how you see Doom or Arx Fatalis.


    Time to Escape the Windows Screen Saver!



    Brave Soul
    A very addictive game this was defiantly adapted for RPG fans alike. You play the role of "Rudy" a novice to be hunter and his journey to find the moon princess that he's had in his dreams for the past ten years on every full moon. The graphics are very simple, in a style that I can only describe as close to pokemon games for the Game Boy. The interesting development in this is that you can build relationships with characters by choosing certain missions and how you act on those missions, of course you still have some CG shots and full cast acting at major arcs.


    If you didn't already guess, we're talking bout her body


    My view on this is that it's a very admirable game that uses a different method on how you "get the girl", and as most RPG games it can be quite addictive in acquiring new items and cash. There are plenty of characters that can join your party, but you can only have a total of four members, where Rudy and Shell (his pet dragon) are consistent in the party. The only flaws i can point out are the hack'n'slash gameplay can be quite repetitive, and considering the age off the game, the sound quality of the voices isn't as clear as compared to most VNs'. it is interesting to know that peach princess are planning in translating the sequel too, but whether that can work on Vista 64bit or above is an entirely different mater.


    I have only bought 8 boxsets in the past 10 months of 2009

I tried to watch it, but gave up after episode 2. It just didn't work for me i thought. The cast maybe decent if you go into it without seeing it previously, but Feldt for starters isn't as emotionless as she is in japanese for season 1, and the rest are a bit off as well. Sumeragi was decent(can't remember the VA for her) but that was about it.

Arbalest | 09-28-09, 6:09 AM
English? Me? Waaaa...i thought i was scottish last i checked ;p

hobnob biscuits be a nice option though. Needs a cuppa tea though to go with it.

CloudedMinds | 09-26-09, 5:11 PM
Lol, and since then i've gone on to pre-order all 4 of the announced K-On! figures...still waiting on Tsumugi, Ritsu and Azusa

Yeah, S2 gets boring fast, not helped by the increased amount of comedy. I'm also 13/26, have given it 7/10 and don't care enough to watch any more episodes at the moment.

Without Hajime and his daughter, there's no hook; nothing to keep me watching. I didn't think they msttered that much in S1, but they clearly did.

Cars: I know sod all about cars. Even at school, when other kids looked at them lovingly, I had zero interest. If only they were looking at anime...

Time of Eve and Chobits are very different in style and maturity of screenplay. The last two episodes I've seen of the former are certainly very intelligent pieces, but I'd ultimately describe them as filler; being tangential to the plight of the series' main android.

Zin5ki | 08-02-09, 4:03 PM
And to you good sir. I considered a seagull, but they're quite a ubiquitous fowl, and they tend not to be quite as gratifying.

Voddas | 07-31-09, 10:07 AM
Sorry for late reply :P

Not seen any of your plan to watch list besides Tenchi. I gotta love Tenchi if not only for Ryoko. Oh yeah!

Watching Baccano at the moment and then I have Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai to follow up with. Everyone keeps telling me to watch it for a while now.

Yawn... too much work makes Voddas a something... something...

Go Crazy?

Don't mind if I do!

WAHAHUUYBGOOOGOOLAAA!! Ahem... yeah...

Voddas | 07-14-09, 1:12 AM
