Obviously the game won't ever have VA, buuuut...

Post by SpunkySix »

That little in-between chapters loading screen just screams "kawaii anime voices of each main girl saying the name of the game happily together". Seriously, the first time I saw that I totally expected it, and every time after that I felt like it was missing. Am I crazy, or has anybody else thought this?

It never crossed my mind.

Besides, there's a very good reason you can't have all the characters say it together.

Interesting...
Never really thought of it, either.
But... we do have Katawa Seiyu. While, not technically their canon voices, it's the closest we've got.

Still stunned by the fact that Lilypichu voices Misha. Then again, should have expected that. As Lily likes pink hair (despite not having pink hair, herself).
To be remembered by anyone after death is the goal of basically every soul that's lived in this world.

GAH.

I wasn't even aware of the fact that that even existed and omigosh Emi's voice! ~ :D

*swoons*

They all have nice voices, actually. Kenji, Rin and Misha both sound exactly like I expected them to. And I swear I spent three minutes looking for a "Meet Shizune" video before I realized why there wasn't one. This experience only convinces me further that the in-between chapter screen needs that voicing.

The thought has never crossed my mind, but I think it would have been out of place. I'd say that suits a cutesy-wutesy kawaii-type anime rather than an emotional, romantic trip down feels avenue.

Ahhh, Katawa seiju, we meet again...
I always found Kenji and Misha's voices to be far too squeaky. I know they're supposed to be annoying which I do find the voices, but I would have preferred Misha to not have been a stereotypical-american-dub kind of voice. I also envisioned Kenji not to sound like he's trying to be funny with a balloon of helium.

The others all fit pretty well, from what I remember.

I still want them all voiced by Jason Statham, though
Like stupid, silly doodles with no point? You've come to the right place, friend :^)
I also occasionally write oneshots. Why not have a skimread?

At the very least he should do Shizune's voice.

That's why she doean't have an Epilogue

You go through the entire VN without hearing a peep out of her, but at the end she claims to have a surprise for Hisao.

A gruff, gravely cockney voice.

Sexy.
And yeah, Kenji's voice was kinda weird. I always imagined him to have a slightly rough voice - not rough as in 'oi m8, got a rizla? im 12 and a dad of 4' rough, or 'smoking twenty a day' rough, but... slightly coarser, and deeper, than it was would have been good.
Because green eyes are best eyes.

Lilly should be voiced by Patrick Warburton. The rest should be voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.
I love the interpretation of Pac-Man where he's a just a lowly worker retrieving golf balls left all over the course by the rich masters and the ghosts are all previous workers who got conked on the head and killed by incoming golf balls in the line of duty.

...Raw as in uncooked? But...You don't cook a parfait...

Undoubtedly, Yuuko will break into tears trying to explain this. :lol:

And god help us all if Misha Ramsey discovers the manly picnic...
