bwahahah!

i just read something that surprised the heck out of me: in taipei they are opening a pokemon themed amusement park.....i never ever thought that pokemon was popular enough to warrant its own theme park, but apparently someone thought it was promising enough to go and finance. you can read about it in the anime link i have. it's not even a museum, which would have been respectable (like the studio ghibli museum in Japan), it features rides or something. shocking.

"hey kids! let's go ride pikachu!"

I was reading the works list of one of the seiyuus in anime "tactics" and i remember some writer said that the only memorable thing he was in was some obscure(read: bad) anime. AND the worst part is that he has a looooooong list of anime works that he was in. And the worst worst part is that he was only a minor character in almost all of them. ^_^ it's almost enough to make you cry.

another thing that scared the living shit out of me was the works list of another seiyuu. Motoko Kumai is the seiyuu for Li Syaoran in CardcaptorSakura. That voice is lower, raspy boy voice that's so popular. AND THEN she's the voice of Sumomo in Chobits.....Sumomo's the high pitched hyper active crazy doll...the difference in sound is breathtaking... it's shocking the transformations that the actors go through to fit the character that they are suppose to be ....
