That part I do not know (except for Gennai being Doug Walker). I am not at all familiar with them.

edit: I think Tai was based on ShadyVox, who does a lot of Stylistic Suck rapping (at least they act like it's bad in-universe, but it's actually quite good).

edit 2: Aaaand Shady voiced Tai in the original Abridigmon so I guess I was right there.

The group at the end was the Pokémon 'Bridged team, that's all I can tell you.

Huh. Now all the gags from this year's April Fool's make sense.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I'm pretty sure the British guy is Little Kuriboh. The joke about United is a Call-Back to a semi-recentish Episode of YGOTAS, which had LK go on a bit of an Author Tract about the airline.

That would also explain his flakiness in episode 2.

...what am I even DOING here?
#19083: Apr 2nd 2016 at 10:56:33 PM

A while ago I commented on episode 2:

Joe is Little Kuriboh, who keeps going to conventions instead of making new episodes of YGOTAS.

Izzy is Masako X, who did have an anime review show on Thatguywiththeglasses.

The four Dark Masters are Team Four Star. They're obviously talking about Ghost Nappa. The fourth guy is Vegeta 3986, who left TFS.

Tai is Shady Vox, and how Jaden in Yugioh GX the Abridged Series raps all the time.

Sora is also Little Kuriboh - the joke is he only has one 'girl' voice.

According to Kaiser on twitter, Leomon references someone called Musical Mike. I have no idea who that is.

Oh, and in the movie version, Devimon is referencing Grant. The joke is that he actually wasn't a fan of TFS before he personally met them. He used to be very vocal in criticising DBZA and the choices they made. And now he works for them. (I think)

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

I think they're paying him.

Grant/MasterWGS I mean.

Things come full circle for MasakoX.

Something that's always bugged me about that movie... When Izzy goes to Tai's computer he takes the monitor and the keyboard off the desk and puts them on the floor. Why does he do that?

I think Grant only runs their facebook page.

Eh. That wasn't too bad. It's not like he called it awful or said people shouldn't listen to it. His criticisms are true enough, and it makes sense that he'd have that opinion of it, considering his particular fondness for the show in its original format.

I have a message from another time...

Yeah, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

That being said, has his pronunciation of Goku gotten more obnoxious?

Glad I'm not the only one who heard that.

But besides that, I'm not really sure what's supposed to be obnoxious about the way he says names. I mean, are Saiga and Tobias being obnoxious for not using dub names?

What's weird is that every time I've heard Goku pronounced in Japanese, it sounds exactly the same as how us English-speakers pronounce it, except the 'O' is soft and not hard.

It only sounds different when you purposely try to mimic the way it's suppose to sound.
