In other news! I'm gonna get the Higurashi box set which just released! ^__^ Well, hopefully, but most likely. XD Yey~ I really can't wait. I'm gonna force myself to watch it in dub, just because I feel like I have to, lulz...IT IS A NEW TYPE OF HIGURASHI TORTURE! \o/ I have to admit though, I like Shmion's voice actress, she is wonderful. <3 WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU FOR THE INUYASHA DUB?! ;___; *angst*

I am still highly amused by the box cover, LAWL, that is a return trip made by a pervy old man just waiting to happen.

Yay! I found this, and thought that since I went through the trouble to convert it from FLAC for myself (which seriously took too many hours, DAMN YOU WINAMP. e_e;; ), it'd be nice to share for anyone who wants it.

Volume 2 is definitely A LOT better then Volume 1. For one, it doesn't make me feel like I'm going to have a seizure, but I guess it's not as brain-melting-ly hilarious either. XD;; I still wish they would've gone the more darker, mystical route for the Character CDs, but oh well. The arrangement in this one is tons better, even though it still has that slightly annoying "poppy kindergarten music" feel to it. I personally like it, especially "Ienai Kotoba", but I'm biased as a huge Yukino Satsuki-san fan. (^.^)/♥ She basically a veteran at image albums, having done at least...4, I think? She's also really talented to be able to sing to opposite to herself as both Shion and Mion in this.

Like the first one, this includes two main songs, an original drama, and two karaoke tracks. Enjoy!

Volume 1 of the Higurashi Character Albums hurts my brain. Rena singing "egao HAPPY PEACE RAINBOWS BUTTERFLIES", and then randomly screaming "I'm sorry, I'm sorryyyy" and "USODA!" in a horrifically terrified voice while the bouncy poppy kindergarten rainbow music plays is just...WUT?

But you wanna know what really makes me see polka-dotted hippos?

KEIICHI.

RAPPING.

THE ABCS.

WITH...

wait for it...

wait for it...

OOISHI.

D8 There are no words. NO WORDS, MAN.

I hope the Shmion one doesn't suck this bad. I like Yukino-san's singing voice from her work on character albums for anime like Hina and Inuyasha, but hopefully the arrangement won't be so fucking trippy and designed for Kindergarten kids on blow.

O...omigawd...omigawd...omigaaaawd...

HIGURASHI HAS BEEN PICKED UP BY GENEON.
proof 1, proof 2

That was insanely quick. D8 Then again, us Americans love seeing teenage girls go insane and cut people into pieces, so it was bound to happen someday. *lawl* I hope the manga comes soon, preferrably picked up by Tokyopop...I just always imagined it that way...I can see it now! The lovely un-viz-framed covers with that stupid "100% Authetic Manga" stamp on the back. 8D Plus Viz is probably too wimpy to pick up such a horrific manga like Higurashi. XD They even let go of KKJ because of it's "religious theme", pfft.

I have mixed feelings at the moment. On one hand, now I can buy the products without hassle. On the other hand, I'm worried about the dubbing. Higurashi is a very hard anime to pull off, especially Satsuki Yukino, Mai Nakahara, and Yukari Tamura gave amazing performances, if not their BEST seiyuu work ever, on Higurashi. PLUS! There's a lot of screaming, much much screaming, and you have to make that CONVINCING you know! [/sarcasm]

I'm hoping Vic Mignogna will be cast as Keiichi. XD It would be PERFECT! Does Vic even do work for Bang Zoom! Entertainment and/or Geneon? These voice actors kinda stay in a certain arena, don't they? I know that all the series that were picked up by Viz had the similar voice actors to their anime, so I'm not totally sure how it works.

If Monica Stori gets cast as Shmion, I'm going to have to break out teh emotears...she's talented and all, but she actually SMASHED a character's image with her girly-girl voice, and she is not a good match for Satsuki Yukino nor Shmion. ;__; *clings to Satsuki Yukino-san ♥♥*

I must save money! JUNEJUNEJUNE!! @___@ That Onikakushi-hen DVD w/ Slipcase Cover box shall be MIIIIIINE.

Well, I've been announcing to everyone from friends to the Higurashi LJ com (because I'm GEEK Dx), so in case my lovely flist hasn't yet heard of Santa's gift of awesomeness to the world...



Honestly, I didn't think it was going to happen. The Higurashi anime wasn't a largely populated project (I mean, it aired while everyone was already asleep, so only pre-fans would tune in :/). BUT CHRISTMAS MIRACLES ARE REAL, WHOOOOO!! ANIMATED HANYUU, FOR ZEE WINNNNN~~ *wiggles*

In laments terms...big YAYS!! ^__^ The only anime-related thing that would be better is if it was announced that the Inuyasha anime is off it's 2 year hiatus. SHUDDUPITISNOTOVER. IT'S JUST ON HIATUS, I SAY. ;___; *rocks in feeble position*
