Speaking of which, Adric, you should watch Antfish's Jojo Abridged.

I've watched every episode of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Abridged (except the episodes adapting Part One), and it's all amazing. Antfish is one of my favorite contributors to TFS. Hell, I even loved his cameo on Bennett the Sage's review of Fist of the North Star.

Part 1 Jojo is enjoyable as heck, but it's not actually good. But it also has the benefit of having an anime adaptation that understands exactly what the appeal is.

What I've seen so far of the Jojo dub has cemented it to me as my favorite dub ever, possibly. Rare is the dub that will have people yelling "You villain!" with full conviction, or using word like "sirrah" in proper context.

Dio, you villain! What type of monster have you become?!

Any dub where Johnny Yong Bosch gets to ham it up is a good one in my book.

On voice acting:

  • IIRC, somewhere in this video, Billy West talks about how voice acting being in pain actually wears you out by the end of this. Although that might be in the following video. Also, this video contains my meatspace voice, so... you're welcome.
  • One of my favorite [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl_nZWrV3C0 videos]] about voice acting.

JJBA part 1 was "somewhere between okay and bad". The following parts were fantastic, though. I haven't seen the dub.

I used to have a job where I got to see a lot of recording footage of animation voice acting, and it was always interesting to see the difference between newbie actors who were unsure what they were supposed to do when grunting and such, and the experienced ones for whom belting out grunts and weird noises was oddly routine.

I'd love to see some recording footage for Billy West one of these days. He's been at it so long I bet he could basically make any reaction on demand without even thinking.

If we're over here recommending Abridges, I'd like to put forward DWK's Legit Recaps as the only good MLP abridged, even if all he's done is season 6, although it being an abridged is contentious for the fact that he uses almost entirely still images and barely changes his voice.

I contend that it counts on the grounds that it is hilarious.

I'd like to recommend BlazingAzureCrow's Digimon Adventure Abridged. It's only four episodes in but it's pretty funny. They also do a Bleach Abridged that I've heard is pretty good and they're abridging a few other things.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

Hey, my friend's birthday is tomorrow too. He'll get this and the Switch announcement, that's not bad.
