I know none of you are Attack on Titan fans, but let me tell you, when those actors scream bloody murder, they really sell the idea that they're getting eaten alive.

Screaming is one thing that American actors rarely get right. Not just voice actors, but across the board.

Yeah no Americans wouldn't know terror if it came up and scared the **** out of them. They just can't reach the threshold of true pain. The Japanese got that ****. They can make horror feel uncomfortable. Evangelion is one of the best examples. I was looking for that scene where Asuka gets mindraped by an angel, which is just entirely uncomfortable in Japanese as it's a very long scene which makes it clear that it's a rape, but I couldn't quite find the right clip.

Yeah, that was some seriously great acting, I agree. American actors can only ever seem to breach "angry shouting" most of the time. If anybody ever commits to a blood curdling scream, they instantly win my respect as an actor.

Honestly the woman who played Asuka in English did a relatively good job comparative to other English language actors, but I imagine that's simply because the job was to act like she was being raped and there was simply no other thing she could do but to act like she was being raped, so at least she reached a good volume, which is more of a feat than most other people ever try in her line of work. But it still doesn't have the visceral feel of the Japanese voice actress that just puts your haunches up like a cat.

TFW you're like "I should cancel my subscription to Crunchyroll cause I never use it," but then you realize that it's a bitch to find new anime in Japanese/subtitled even in torrent and you're like, you have worth, Crunchyroll. You have worth.

Lulz, Castlevania did it first, but yeah it's nice. Tell me you're watching it. It's like the best show ever so long as you're watching the second series and not the first.

This is why you didn't get a present from Ori. Now go to your room and think of what you've done.
