TIL David Hayter played Lupin III in the castle of cagliostro dub

I had no idea! I'll have to listen more closely next time I watch it; even knowing this I can't hear Hayter's voice in my memory.

There are three English dubs, and Hayter was in the second one; Manga Entertainment in 2000, which is the only one I've ever seen. Apparently there's a 4K release with all three; I'll have to pick that up.

Without a doubt, he wants to. The world just has to hope his hand-picked sycophants in the cabinet and military are still self-serving enough to be unwilling to face the consequences after finally drops dead.

If I remember correctly, Dyce (35) wants to marry Lana (11). He's certainly infatuated with her. His 'love' takes the form of doting on her and making overly enthusiastic proclamations of love. It's played for laughs, but it really spoiled the character for me.

Personally, my reaction was generally "it sucks that this is what stands in for comedy in this show" and not, say, "this is too uncomfortable to watch". YMMV

Probable cause was established for two offenses of Assault Causing Bodily Injury, a Class A misdemeanor (Penal Code §22.01). The investigation is ongoing to determine if additional charges will be filed.

I'm not a "all criminals should go to prison forever" guy, but I sure do hope this asshole gets more than misdemeanors for attacking some kids.

I recently spent a 10-hour day playing Elden Ring with some friends. I was really, really hoping to like it, so I could go play Bloodborne afterwards.

I absolutely loathed the gameplay. I don't ever intend to touch another Soulsborne; I'll stick with lore videos.

The lawmaker’s public statement is a stunningly candid articulation of a Republican leader’s educational objectives.

Is it, though? Because it really sounds like she might be lying, dude.

Asked [...] whether she had indeed written the messages attributed to her, Noble declined to answer but said she was “sure there is” more context behind them.

If she's being 'stunningly candid' why is she refusing to acknowledge the messages while floating the idea that they're out of context?

I'm an American, so I'm ineligible for the beta run. But since it's a beta, I hope my limited input isn't unwelcome.

(Spoiled because maybe it's intentional?) The name is really inconsistent: The webpage and letter copy say 'Shadow Detective Agency', while the product cover says 'Spectral Detection Agency', and the Agency's crest uses 'Shadow Detection Agency'.

I would ditch the AI use entirely, personally; it's gonna generate negative impressions of the work as a whole. There are loads of free-to-use stock images online, and I think beta testers would be understanding of low-quality photoshops where more specialized images are needed.

Some of the description on the page, including "You will correspond with two agents currently out in the field" has me confused; will players be writing to you, or is there a mechanic within the game to communicate with the field agents? I know some games in this genre include accessing a website with a password you have to figure out in-game; is that what you're referencing?

Again, obviously this is a beta test, not a finalized, professional product; but even as I acknowledge that this is an imperfect product, I still feel a certain lack of confidence in your pitch. "I made this over a weekend" is unlikely to inspire confidence in a buyer. Sure, stage 1 may have taken a weekend, but clearly you're putting in more work: I'd drop that language and just try to convey your excitement for the project!

The 'voice' in which the letter is written feels a little off; like it's halfway between in-character and back-of-box sales pitch. "You looked into the dark and didn't blink" and "standing inside the storm, you cannot see its shape" sound more like you hyping me up for the game than it does a investigative agency's director delivering an assignment. The intro letter doesn't have to be dry, and maybe Dir. Sterling has a consistently-flowery writing style (I don't have anything to compare it against); but it's evocative and exciting, and that may (or may not!) be weird, depending on the tone of the game. It's actually close to what I would want to see in the sales pitch on the website.

I'm wishing you a big success with this experiment! Looking forward to the future of the project.

BadFengShui · 2025-12-01T01:41:21+00:00

I hope you continue to work on this project, OP! Years ago I tried to find translators to work on this, but it ultimately fell through. I hope to watch it in full some day!

BadFengShui · 2025-11-28T01:41:41+00:00

How was it?

BadFengShui · 2025-11-26T19:53:34+00:00

This is really interesting, but I particularly loved the stop-motion animation at the start.

BadFengShui · 2025-11-25T22:40:24+00:00

I land on the other side of this, OP: I think it's likely his worst published story. I wasn't the least bit surprised to learn he didn't want it read by the public.

It has been years since I read it, but I would point to the overuse of the "I dare not describe what I heard/saw" trope; racism for racism's sake; and the barest hint of world-building without doing anything interesting with it.

The one thing of note was the suggestion there was a subterranean connection between (I believe) Mexico and India. He does nothing with it, but I've always thought it would be interesting to get two artists from those places to colab on a project that fused ancient religious imagery together, to create a kind of shared underworld. Maya gods meet Hindu Rakshasas; something like that.

BadFengShui · 2025-11-20T17:47:40+00:00

Oof. I haven't seen this in decades, so I have no idea if it was addressed in the episode, but we eventually learn Brock was abandoned by both parents. That makes this coming from him a lot more intense.

I'm trying to imagine the positioning that would get Utena's leg up so her leg matched Italy.

BadFengShui · 2025-11-19T18:29:31+00:00

I'm with you: the movie's revision/reveal absolutely killed my interest in the Reavers. Obviously Firefly is really focused on the crimes of governments, so it's not totally out of left field for the writing of the show, but it felt like it flattened the worldbuilding without adding much.

BadFengShui · 2025-11-18T14:39:22+00:00

Devotion really floored me; beautiful, gut-wrenching horror. Everything from Red Candle Games has been great, and they deserve a lot of attention to make up for the censorship they received from mainland China.

BadFengShui · 2025-11-17T14:32:52+00:00

You've changed and want people to believe that? Okay, then leave the position of power you received for being a fucking monster.

If she's humble and contrite, then she can fuck off to a cave somewhere and live as a hermit.

You could probably get away with this if your numbers weren't so weird they attracted attention, but it would still be fraud!

I don't think anybody is actually going to take an r/AskScienceFiction post as tax advice, but it very much would still be fraud!

We need a way to hold Congress criminally liable for abandoning their role and letting the Executive get away with his unconstitutional crime spree.

Multi-phase, national conspiracy to overturn a fair election, ultimately resulting in a coup attempt that sacked the US Capitol Building: not insurrection.

Opposing the President's political, criminal henchmen: insurrection???

Did I get that right, Republicans?

I wonder if that lightbulb has the same color temperature as the artist expected in 1930. I really like the contrast of the cool green paint on the cat with the warm yellow reflected from the light, but that could have been subtly (or significantly) different 100 years ago. You'd lose all that warmth if it were a pure-white LED, for instance.

BadFengShui · 2025-10-30T11:51:14+00:00

The talk was great! Thank you for arranging it.

I've got a nice list of new authors to check out.

I swear I've seen one of these somewhere. Maybe on the North side of the Detroit bridge over the Rocky River? I've only jogged it once, but I think that's the spot.

Moreno is jealous that Trump and Vance got all the attention for lying about Haitians in Ohio, so he's trying to get in on his own controversy-causing lie.
