Well I'm back.

[hellzabeth]

So I'm back from France.

It was fun.

Will elaborate later when photos and video diary are put up.

Right now my concern lies this side of the channel...

WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO YOU ENGLAND I'M HALFWAY BETWEEN LAUGHING AND CRYING BECAUSE THE GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY THE CAMPNESS IS OFF THE SCALE MY GOD.

....

NENA HAS JUST OBSERVED THAT HE SOUNDS LIKE JAMES FROM POKEMON.

HE DOES.

ESPECIALLY THE FLYING MINT BUNNY THING.

BTW WTF IS UP WITH THAT.

ALSO.

"BRITAIN"

UM.

YOU GUYS.

SCOTLAND WOULD LIKE A WORD WITH YOU.

In other news France was amusing. His laugh is spot on and was just creepy enough to make me recoil and then burst into hysterics. I'm happy enough with that.

Also, can anyone tell us what America's accent is? It's not what we were expecting this side of the pond.

Omg yes

EXACTLY

Or Stewie Griffin as many people were saying

And THAT. Exactly my issue with the Britain thing. Yeah we're a union but there's four countries in it guys. Come on. Okay UK wouldn't sound right I imagine but yeah... orz.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Orz.

Well I suppose if HRE can exist as a collection of states...

But. Britain? All of the stereotypes associated with the character are English stereotypes. To be honest I'm disappointed. It's hit and miss really; the other voices were alright (maybe sans China) but this one just kind of ruins it.

[katamanda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that too. He's always characterised as English no matter what he's called and since we know by Word of God that the other UK nations exist still, it's silly.

I wasn't planning to watch the dub anyway, but now I definately won't ( or at least only watch episodes without England, few as they are). I just really can't stand poorly-imitated English accents in dubs, they drive me crazy. Why couldn't they have got Walter's VA from Hellsing or something.

OTL ignore me, but with my friends all I can think of is hear England say this >>

[meg-inatree.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it be marvelous if he turned out to be a homosecksual?

:3

[starrose]

Ah, but he is represented with the British flag, not the English, so I suppose I can see where they're coming from.





Still grr.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Indeed, but that might make more sense to call him UK... or something.

Thing is Hidekazu even mentioned Scotland as his older brother so... orz still.

In australia send blankets and help plz. Think NWO invaded maybe. Rode a horse and didn't fall off. Dogs are cute. Still cold and I only brought one jumper, typing on iPod coz mum's asleep, should be online in 7 hours or less, mayb.

Luv, Oz.

PS I'm scared and cold.

[oozaru-angel.livejournal.com]

Ps link to pom voice plz.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Pom voice here.

Silly Oz, you forgot it's winter down under. *pets and snuggles with blankets* Hooray for horsies and not dying! 8D /waits for 7 hours. <3

[oozaru-angel.livejournal.com]

It's 16C I blame Russia. And thanks. /Snuggles

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

16C?

Pussy.

[oozaru-angel.livejournal.com]

You live in Finland you are never allowed to talk to me ever go away it's 11C now and it was 8 before leave me alone

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

Well to be fair I have no idea how people can stand temperatures over 30C. x___x *MELTING HERE OKAY*

[emelethaine.livejournal.com]

NO FAIR.

Where I live that's like, 24/7.

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

H-how do you survive? DD:

[emelethaine.livejournal.com]

To this day, I have no idea. (But having an AC in every room of the house helps.) I hate living smack-dab on the Equator pffft

Believe it or not, I have gone to a place where it is over 40ºC. -dies-

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

And btw 16C is when the water is warm enough to go swimming. (_ _)\m/

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Pfff dude I refuse to go in water unless it's 20C or over.

But then I don't understand the people up north who run into the North Sea on New Years to bring in the new year. They actually had to break up the ice to do it this year.

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah a lot of people do that here too. 'S called "avantouinti".

[meg-inatree.livejournal.com]

;; *covers and leaches body warmth*

AHHHHH THAT WIND YESTERDAY ;A; WHY DOES THE SUN LIE TO MEEE

[lovelylurker.livejournal.com]

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK I MISSED YOUUUUUUUU~ <3 Glad you had fun!

England's voice made me laugh really hard. And then I thought about James from Pokemon. And then I thought about that episode of him with breasts. And then I cried because I couldn't unsee England with breasts. B| I knew you'd flip out at the "Britain" thing. Most of the rest of the fandom has too.

(But that Captain Hook line was priceless.)

I love France's voice. That is all.

Their version of America is using a standard American accent without regional inflections. That's uh... that's kind of what most people here sound like, especially in cities, for the majority of their speech. Regionally there will be pronunciation differences on a few words here and there but otherwise it's kind of like that.

(Unless you're from a very specific place where the accent is usually thick. But then people hear you from and mile away and are like "haha I know where you're from!")

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

I'M HAPPY TO BE BAAAAAAACK I MISSED YOU GUYS. <3

... fuck it Lurker now I cannot unsee it ever. Pfffffff At least if England had breasts there would be a reason for all his PMSing. I'm not flipping out over it so much as I am irritated about it. The Scots will probably be more angry over it.

(I lol'd at that even if it was kind of bemused.)

Honhonhonhon. "If you are done releasing sexual tensions..."

That's kind of odd, since when Nena and I were listening it sounded a bit like America's accent was put on or emphasised... though maybe it was. idek I'm only half coherent.

[lovelylurker.livejournal.com]

It's the American version of a lack of accent, actually. ^_^; That's not a put on (especially considering Eric Vale is American. xD)

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

I swear I've heard people speaking without an accent (or rather with Standard American accent) that don't sound like that. Though I am no expert really. Maybe it's because he's next to England and all those other accents.

[candesceres.livejournal.com]

OH HEY YOU'RE BACK SOONER THAN I EXPECTED. o/

I think I'll do you one better and say that I cried laughing listening to England orz. COULD YOU BE ANY GAYER.

F-FLYING MINT BUNNY orz. That's it no more opium dens for you. B|

No words for Britain wtf. Who even uses that? But France is fabulous and America is just adorable, so. Awesome. BDb

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

\o/ well we were only staying two nights so. <3 Bastille day was cool.

THEY HAD TO PICK THE SCENE WITH THE FAERIES DIDN'T THEY. I wonder if there's a term for so traumatised you're laughing bemusedly.

And you're not allowed to visit Holland's place any more. Or accept magic brownies from Belgium.

I've never heard it used on it's own without a "Great" or "Little" tacked on. It sounds awkward. idefk I knew I wasn't going to watch the dub anyway. It's just... yeah, the fandumb are going to latch on to this.

[candesceres.livejournal.com]

Dammit I wish I could just hop over to France whenever I wanted to orz. /o/ Hope it was an awesome anniversary nonetheless! <3

I THINK AMERICA IS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING. He's the one dubbing it afterr all lmao. XDDD Shell-shock maybe fff. That must be it. I have no other words orz.

I think we should take a visit to the AA while we're at it.

This. I think that's it exactly. It sounds weird, America stop iiiiit. I was expecting many things... but "Britain" wasn't one of them. I might just have to watch it for France though. <3 And later on for Spain's deep voice fff orz.

[vivamente.livejournal.com]

MAN, I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING AT HOW CAMP HE WAS EITHER.

FLYING MINT BUNNY

WHAT MAN, WHAT.

[millesettecento.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what all of this is about because I just avoid English dubs they always sound so wronggggg /shot

Anyway~ I'm glad you're back ♥!

[vehira.livejournal.com]

Pfft, England's voice is hilarious. That scene was so much funnier in English probably for that reason XD

GOD I LOVE J. MICHAEL TATUM. Totally called him voicing France~

America is...American. Best they can do with all the accents here. It'd be pretty hard to pinpoint one, I think.

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

Well in Japanese he was voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama. Might not be so camp but it's basically just as gay in Japan's style. *didn't even listen to it yet*

*listens* Okay it's pretty camp. xD

[hirra-chan.livejournal.com]

Okay, he sounds camp. But I love it. I'll need some time to get used to Britain though (But then again, we Mexicans are so ignorant on the subject that we still use England/Great Britain/United Kingdom as synonyms. Isn't that sad?)

France's voice was perfect, I mean:

Though now I'm afraid to check the main comm. The Script changes wank. OH EM GEE.

[thera7.livejournal.com]

Gods, I could've killed myself when I heard it. The accent was just about tolerable, but the voice....Aaarrrgggh. Just NO. WHERE IS THE IGGY GROUCHINESS??? Did they pay NO attention at all to how they'd done the Japanese voices? Just... ugh. I could'nt even listen to it all at once, I had to keep stopping and changing the screen...

[aislingthegreat.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh dear. That was...pretty bad. Like you said, it's like they took James from Pokémon and made him gayer. Plus his accent slipped in a couple of places. I kinda knew before that that I was going to prefer England's voice in Japanese, but still...

I liked America's voice though (YAY, political incorrectness D:).

*rants*

[emelethaine.livejournal.com]

alfkjda Terrible accent terrible accent why why why whyyyyyyy Where the feck is the sexy English accent I was waiting for?

No really. I was fine with laughing at the other dubs, but I just needed this accent done good. AND CAMP JAMES VOICE WUT. (Just because he does naughty things with Port doesn't mean he doesn't sound manly, mmkay? I mean Pokemon's James? Really.)

I wish they kept referring to him as England, tho B| It would be easier and 'Britain' just sounds weird and that means it also includes his bros, who I'm not sure would be too okay with that. >.>

But France made that clip. I mean, I always liked him, but now he's on the fave character list. That 'hon hon hon hon' laugh was just right and then 'When you're done releasing sexual tension...' I admit I lol'd pretty hard. I can't wait for the rest of his lines 8D
