Hawt. Moetan gone horribly wrong is like a mushroom that rotted and has mushrooms growing on it... well, that dirty, but cuter

And I love seiyuu trying to speak foreign languages! Except in songs.

Well, I don't know if I'll ever post here again, and I have little love for moe shows and the like, but I actually know the American character's voice-actor, and I thought I'd pass along the info. He's long-time Tranformers fan Hydra, who actually lives in Japan. I've known him since back in the late '90s, not closely, mind, but he's been fairly active in the fandom, wanting to and helping TV Nihon translate old Japanese Transformer shows.

This is just, WOW.

Well, I don't know him closely, obviously, I know him as well as any Transformers fan does, but it's kind of weird to see a guy go from trying to make VHS fansubs of Japanese Transformers shows 10 years ago (that never really got off the ground save for a bunch of translated scripts, until 2004 when TV Nihon lent their services) to actually BEING on Japanese television. I guess some fanboys can make their dreams come true.

Wow... I didn't see that happening! I wonder if he will get more roles to play in within the future to come.

This was actually the first time I've seen Aya Hirano. I was surprised at how young-looking and pretty she is! No wonder fanboys worship the ground she steps on.

Guess it's not just the Haruhism. XD

Coo. I watched that one just for a laugh, and I have to say they achieved the impossible, in that it made Moetan look superb!

SuperKnuckles · 2008-02-12, 08:45

I think it's not too fair to compare the anime segments to any anime really. I've actually seen my share of bad educational anime before. But yeah, stand-alone it is pretty bad.

But as educational tools, I think it could be effective with enough exposure.

It's always a blast listening to foreign speakers in anime though. It seems most, if not all the foreign speakers are native speakers. Hilarious cross-language voicework

The english video doesn't work, I was looking forward to it

!! Hearing that makes me want to watch Moetan

. Thank you for saying "they achieved the impossible."

To bad I bet this gets a full subbing before Moetan ever does. Moetan is also a hell of a lot more fun to watch and doesn't recycle the same animation sequence between each episode while only overlaying the essentials.

Moegaku*5 is licensed now, it's going to be on CrunchyRoll (legally).

Now, this show isn't *really* meant for children, is it?
