When I wrote "While the English cast did resort to cliched accents" I wasn't referring to the British actors, but to the English voice acting in general (as opposed to the original Japanese). Sorry about that confusion. I added a correction. Thanks for highlighting where I should have been clearer.RooksBaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749758612050000488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917171058426101597.post-18553116600417652752014-10-29T18:35:38.372-04:002014-10-29T18:35:38.372-04:00Well, that would explain the GERMAN accents of the...Well, that would explain the GERMAN accents of the Major and Rip van Winkle! ;) But even Alexander Anderson's accent seems to swing between Irish and Scottish at times (Steven Brand is originally from Scotland, so that explains that!). Lastly, according to this interview with the actors, it seems to me that only the voices of Intergra (Victoria Howard), and Dornez (Ralph Lister) are truly British: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdH6sWNn1Xs Regardless of the actual nationalities of the voice actors, the accents just sound too heavy to me, if you understand what I mean. They are just too "typically" whatever nationality we are dealing with. Of course, this is only a minor criticism of the otherwise excellent voice work. <br /><br />Thanks for reading my review! Hope we agreed on other points!RooksBaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749758612050000488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917171058426101597.post-16103126615910489512014-10-29T17:36:11.320-04:002014-10-29T17:36:11.320-04:00Which "cliched accents" are you talking ...Which "cliched accents" are you talking about?

Now, most fan parodies are usually pretty terrible, but this is actually...awesome! I mean, they really nailed not only the fundamental nature of the main characters, but they actually improved some of their dialog! I highly recommend it with the following warnings:<br /><br />1) NOT SAFE FOR WORK: Seriously, profane stuff coming up. <br /><br />2) SPOILERS AHEAD: Even though this is a parody, it sticks to the fundamentals of each episode, so it will spoil them for you.<br /><br />3) "IN HUMOR" AHEAD: While you could probably watch the four parodies and get a good laugh from them, you really need to have experienced the show itself to really "get" the humor - which is some wicked satire. Do yourself a favor and just watch the first four already!<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65dNu497z7g<br /><br />They completely nailed the arrogant ass who is Alucard!RooksBaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749758612050000488noreply@blogger.com
