and not knowing Japanese really sets me back a good bit too... I've asked for help before, but nobody seems to want to...

and, once again, if you anyone thinks they could be a help, it'd be great to contact me!

i sent you a pm like 2 days ago.

I went for a different approach for this month's Featured VA...

This time it's Akira Ishida (Athrun Zala, Gaara, among 100s of others)

Also has two sound clips of voices from him. Go read it now!

thanks to AthrunOwnzAll and sheva (Ikari on IRC) for their input.

Wow... That was quite an article. Quite a chaotic article... But what it seemed to lack in formality it certainly gained in funniness. Better this way, becaus formal bits of information no doubt are found from many places, whereas articles like this aren't. For sure. And I'm glad you got in a couple of voice samples. That really connects the voice actor in question to the reality, as the faces change from series from series, but the core essence of the voice remains.

Good work. Probably took more effort than the previous ones, but it was worth it. The only thing that bothered me somewhat was the layout. Or to be blunt the lack of a clear layout...

That was an awesome article. Really funny, and I love Akira Ishida. I know he's one of the more prollific and popular VAs out there (the quote in my sig actually refers to him), but I didn't know he played Luke Skywalker in the JP dub. Based on your description, I might have to see some episodes of SEED just to check out how he sounds in that. Judeau is also one of my favorite Ishida roles, so I'm glad he got mention.

Heh, you happened to pic the most homosexual line in Evangelion for that second voice clip...*shudder*

I must wonder how much sleep deprivation played a factor in this one

I must wonder how much sleep deprivation played a factor in this one

i did start working on it in a sleep deprived state, and it sorta took on a life of its own from there... i just wanted to make it funny, even if it's stuff only i thought was funny. One thing that I wonder is if people can see the image descriptions i typed in for the pics, as I wasn't able to and that was a semi-bummer.

Akira Ishida is fucking awesome. Judeau is 133tness, end of story. He did so damn well with Athrun, even though his performance in Destiny doesn't touch the job in the 1st SEED series and then he also does Gaara. I mean, goddamn can you get any better? I doubt it.

I also really respect that he's an 'all around' performer. I didn't mention it in the article but he's voiced EVERY role you can imagine. Men, women, kids, old men, screaming, calm, serious, goofy, everything. The guy can even fucking sing. You gotta giveit up for that.

also, Xan, lol at the quote. I remember watching that scene in Eva and I was like "Oh, my, fucking, homosexual, god" Seriously, Kaworu kicks ass but I mean it when I say that line is 'creeeepy'.

Oh yeah, i photoshopped soooo many pics for that article so you better like it!
and i'm fucking drunk right now!

you killed Athrun, why......?

The descriptions you put in for the pics are located in their alternate text (alt="enter description here") value in their image tag. Originally the purpose is to put a label on the picture in case of a broken link, but it's also used as you've intended as humourous add-ons. alt text will show up in IE, but other browsers may not display it. If you use the title tag instead of alt then firefox will show it after a mouse-over. For example: in your first pic, if you were to do edit it in notepad you would change from:

<img width="101" height="96" id="image49" alt="At-yelling" src="http://www.gotwoot.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/athyell1.thumbnail.jpg" />

to

<img width="101" height="96" id="image49" title="At-yelling" src="http://www.gotwoot.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/athyell1.thumbnail.jpg" />

or just simply add the title value afterwards as such:

<img width="101" height="96" id="image49" alt="At-yelling" title="At-yelling" src="http://www.gotwoot.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/athyell1.thumbnail.jpg" />

I'm not sure what the format is for how you input / create that page, so if you're using some kind of program to insert your article then I'm not sure how you'd go about editting this.
