I hope it comes soon, I am planning to watch it ^-^
Ah so a female version of Zeo I am sure once the series is up there will be more awesome, unusual and downright questionable fanfic/art for you and Mac to see, I feel sorry for Fem!Faust in that pic being pestered by Jack there but maybe I shouldn't since this is Faust we are talking about here and they do say the females are deadlier than the males...
I think Toby is sweet from what I have seen of him so far I am pretty sure we'll all love him pinkish shirt, long hair and all hehe (and will make his transformation to Faust rather heart wrenching) and I am glad you enjoyed the challenge it does sound very interesting.
So basically whether it be your idols, those who help you, those who you help or fellow actors you guys all help inspire each other that is pretty sweet. Naturally I am pleased to hear that Mac has been prominent in that sense recently, A friend on DA says how Beyblade brings everyone together and it seems that includes the cast members
Mel Blanc has made quite the impact on the voice acting industry.
The general thoery is that Nelvana will put two 15 min episodes together to make a 30 mins episode when it comes to dubbing them. It is just grating that TV Tokyo doesn't seem to think that either Beyblade or B Daman deserve their own half hour slot but then I don't know how broadcasting works.
And as per usual THANK you for answering them!!!!
For many of us here Beyblade (be it Tyson's story or Gingka's story) was one of our fave shows we grew up with
My question is what were your fave show/s that you watched growing up?

Toby is sweet. When I went in to record it for the first time they played back my audition to make sure I matched the voice. The line was something like, "Hard work will NOT let you down." Every time I heard it I thought, "MAN, I hate hearing myself" of course then it was followed with, "Aaaw, he's so cute". I hope it's a little heart wrenching, then one can appreciate Faust.
I am also very glad to have become friends with Mac. I've become friendly with Scott McCord too. Hopefully I can get to know other cast members as well. Having a support system rules.
Mel Blanc was the greatest.
We'll see what they do. Whatever happens, I'm just glad to be back.
Well, you are welcome for the answering. Keep them coming! The more the better. I see there's another one.
Oh my favourite shows while I was growing up… this is… harder than the last question. I was a HUGE fan of the entire WB set from the early 90s. Batman, Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Freakazoid, Pinky and The Brain (which one REALLY was the genius and which was the insane one? Think about it.) Ninja Turtles… I could go on and on and…. OH WISHBONE! I loved Wishbone. I'm such a fan of classic literature.
Heheh, thanks again for the question!
You're awesome.

The audition line certainly sounds very much in line with Beyblade I have to say and it is weird to hear your own voice come from somewhere other than your own mouth. I can imagine how sweet the line is to come from Toby considering his circumstances, I think it would make me want to hug Toby and tell him everything is gonna be fine and what not (Mother Hen strikes again...)
When it comes to characters I prefer sweet over sour regardless of power etc. (the fact that Max is my fave character from the original Beyblade is an example of this while most were/are fans of Kai/Blitzkrieg Boys) I find this also applies with how I see people in life.
Well I hope you get to know more cast members be it Beyblade or one of your other projects. Nothing beats having the support of people who go through the same as you and also you can swap notes
Not only did he set the bar up for you guys but Mel Blanc pretty much changed how VAs were seen and treated (like getting credited for example).
Thanks again and I'll always try and think of a question for you and Mac...even if it is a silly question
I can see why it was hard, the stuff WB/Cartoon Network churned out in the 90s was of awesome quality and pretty much most of what I watched before discovering anime (oh Pokemon...) and hitting double digits. You can go on and on about your fave shows if you want to it is interesting to hear plus this is topically about you and Mac.
Unfortunately though most of today kid's shows are not what they used to be...
Benji that is a good question you brought up about Pinky and the Brain, while the Brain may be considered a genius his megalomania and short fuse would put him in the insane category while Pinky is just cheerful/hyper really and maybe a realist compared to the Brain making Pinky the genius. Genius doesn't have to be in the academic sense.
Wishbone I remember that, it's the show where the little dog of the same name would appear in story re-tellings.
Naturally I am gonna ask you now what is your favourite Literature?
Oh and what was your fave Batman episode?
You are welcome again ^-^ thanks for answering
Thank you for the compliment

Toby would welcome a big giant hug. (As would I. Hugs are fun!) Faust… not so much.
I always love meeting my cast members, I agree with you and I hope I get to hang out with all of them constantly.
Yes, Mel did set the bar… SO IMPOSSIBLY HIGH! It's amazing trying to strive to be up there. There has never been another voice actor who can even come close to touching his brilliance.
Shows haven't been the same since the 90s. Story lines are very different now, rarely do we see a season long story arc. Hopefully we'll see some return to that.
About Pinky and the Brain. Pinky was an idiot savant. He actually successfully took over the world twice and Brain messed it up both times. (Brain took over twice too, but one was a complete fluke and the other he destroyed his plan because of Pinky writing the most touching letter to Santa).
No, I don't actually remember EVERY episode… but my friend Adam does and we've been discussing it ever since I posted it a week ago.
My favourite literature… hmm.
Shakespeare is my favourite, hands down.
I have this habit of taking a complete works of Shakespeare book with me on every plane ride I take. It's a weighty tome and when I go on a brief 24 hour trip it can be a pain to take it with me. However, it's my reading material. This past May I went on a 11 hour plane ride, so my family bought me a Kindle. Makes Shakespeare a lot easier to carry.
My favourite authors from recent times would have to be Douglas Adams, Ernest Hemingway, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and a few others.
I'm currently reading The Sun Also Rises.
How about you? Do you have a favourite author?
I'd actually like to hear from EVERYONE who reads this topic! What authors do you like!? Please tell me you guys read…
I don't even have to think for a minute to remember my favourite episode of Batman, "Almost Got 'Im".
"THERE I WAS, hold up in this quarry, when Batman came nosing around. He was getting closer closer…"
"And?"
"I THREW A ROCK AT HIM!"
*Silence*
"So Harvey, what became of the giant penny?"
"It was a big rock…"
Again, thanks for the questions and general interest. I love it.

Oftentimes I was leaving school in the middle of the day, usually around lunch. And if there was enough time left after my recording session, I would go back to class and continue the day like nothing had happened. I was like Clark Kent/Superman up in there.

Well big giant hugs are my specialty! I'll hug anyone who wants/needs them, when I first went to a anime con I hugged so many people (many carry signs saying free hugs) in such a short amount of time it was so sweet! Hugs are very much fun! I can imagine Faust would most likely try to kill me if I even attempt to hug him...at the very least if Faust's in his best mood he'd give me a stern look XD
I am sure a day will come where we have a voice actor who will achieve what Mel Blanc has maybe even more...
I have not seen all episodes of Pinky and the Brain, but it goes to show that sometimes the simplest methods go far compared to the complex methods. It just shows that the Brain goes over the top with his plans and also that deep down he really cares about Pinky and arguably Pinky is actually most important to him more important than his world domination plans.
I have only seen bits of Wishbone when I caught it as I was flicking channels.
Blimey complete works of Shakespeare in one book? I'd imagine it is quite weighty at least it makes a plane flight less boring, I do have to ask which of his works do you like best? At college back in 2006 the group I was in made a mini-movie called "The Tangled Web" or "Confused? You Will Be" which had elements of Twelfth Night with some Acorn Antiques thrown in. In our version both twins were male (played by the same student) and one of them IIRC got one or two girls pregnant and was dodging responsibilty so he disguised as a female model. I played the photographer who finds out about the cross-dressing twin and wants to out him out of prejudiced revenge (her family was conned by a cross-dresser) via photographic evidence of course. After being called out on it by the twin's father when she confronted him she ended up marrying the other twin believe it or not when she apologized to him thinking he was the one she was gonna out . Oh god I remember how much fun we had making it :'3 even our Course Team leader had a role in it... I apologize for going on a tangent like that ^^;
I had to look up what a Kindle is admittedly (I am not one for stuff too high-tech tbh) but yeah you'd be able to store Shakespeare and more in that little gadget which is brilliant for long flights.
How far are you on The Sun Also Rises? You are very much into your literature well what I get from your answer anyway.
Hmmm to answer your question (thanks for asking btw) I am not sure if I have a favourite author as I am more into the stories, but I'll read pretty much anything that sparks my interest (which can include fanfic, magazines, newspapers, travel books and even dictionaries etc.). Fave stories over the years include Gobbolino the Witch's Cat, Animal Ark series, Worst Witch series, Cat and Dog stories by James Herriot (I love animals hehe), most fairy tales and Momotaro the Peach Boy to name a few. What I love about Momotaro is that the book has the story in Japanese and English text, the art is a beauty and the folklore in that story with the demons/oni is awesome. I tend to like fantasy/supernatural/adeventure/comedy/animal genres when it comes to literature.
Ouuu that episode was voted one of the best by Nostalgia Critic. I can't say I have watched that episode but I watched quite a bit of Batman TAS as I grew up and for me stand out fave episodes are the 2 parter "Two-Face", "Baby-Doll" and the two Man-Bat episodes. I guess I like sympathetic villains hehe... oh and monsters too.
Again you are welcome and thanks, it is great to learn about you! I apologize again for the tangents but your answers make me dig up some memories from long ago.
Another question would be do you have any favourite singers/bands?

Excuse my prolonged silence… I stopped getting email updates and then today I decided to check the thread. I'll click on "Subscribe" again RIGHT NOW!
Unfazed would be the name of the game. I'm glad my own mind is twisted enough to allow that privilege.
Hurray for hugs… Faust WOULD probably kill you, but Toby would just smile and give one back. Luckily I'm a Toby type of fellow.
Hmm, favourite Shakespearean work. I'm going to cheat here and ignore his wonderful plays and go with the Sonnets as a whole. If I had to choose ONE sonnet, I'd have to say 116.
That mini movie sounds AWESOME! You should post it somewhere, I'd like to see it.
Never apologize for tangents. Tangents are the reason we will never discover why "There was a bedside table and a single banana in the fruit bowl". However, we love the book anyhow. (IF you know the book from which this quote originates... WITHOUT looking it up… I'll uh… do something… or other)
I've finished The Sun Also Rises (of course by now), and have moved onto two dickens novels and two F. Scott Fitzgerald books. Reading all four is a task, but I read each depending on my mood.
I like your book choice. I'll have to check it out sometime.
If you like sympathetic villains… I don't know if you'll like Deadpan… he's… well… you'll see one day.
I went on a nostalgia kick a few days ago and started digging up my old VHS tapes of Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, and Ducktales (WOOO OOOO)
Always good to bump up against the mirrors of memory.
To answer your new question… I'll have to think hard.
Immediately Louis Armstrong comes to mind. Frank Sinatra. Bing Crosby. Many many more.
Also, The Beatles, The Animals, Bob Dylan, etc.
Beethoven, Mozart, etc.
And strangely enough, Disturbed. (I love many of his super personal lyrics)
I have a very eclectic taste in music.
Yours?
Please, go on more tangents and keep asking your questions.
Thanks again!
I am guessing that the poetry part of his work is largely ignored which would be a shame if it was the case.(Dec. 01, 2011 1:05 PM)Kirst-Mizuhime Wrote: Hi Benji, don't worry about it.
That's a good thing, there is one yaoi (I'd say it is more fluff) pic with Zeo/Faust already on deviantart...XD!
That is good to hear that you are more like Toby than Faust, especially when it comes to hugs!
The Sonnets? Woah I can't say I have heard of those sounds like a long series I'd imagine *looks it up* oh a collection of poetry sounds very nice
Our drama tutor said we'd all get copies of it on DVD but we never did get them T-T it was like we were shown the end result a few times and then that was it. I am not happy about it as all I have to remember the project is my memories and probably some folder stuff but that's it. You see we actually created the characters we played based on Shakespeare character archetypes for example my character named Ellie Flash (cringeworthy pun I know) was the jester archetype IIRC. Funny thing is my companion who did a different drama project with the same tutor in the same year (in this case the group he was in did a music video) actually got a copy of his group's music video so I don't know why my group didn't get copies of our mini-movie. You know something though I want to see the mini-movie again...
Thanks, and sorry to say but I have no idea which book the quote has come from. I'll have a think about the quote though because it does sound interesting and rather intriging.
Great to hear that you have finished The Sun Also Rises, I am quite amazed you plan to read four novels at the same time (not literally at the same time) it does sound like a task I have to ask though if you read each depending on your mood does that equal one novel each for a different mood? Random I know...
Thanks my tastes are a little unusual mind you.
Oh does this mean we may get to see Deadpan someday? It depends on characteristics for me I guess.
Oh goodness you have your VHS tapes still??!! Now I really wish that I had kept hold of one tape which was a movie called Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland *which conicidentially like Beyblade is done by Nelvana* I'd watch it again and again when I was younger and I used to think of going on a school trip to the town park as a simlar adventure to it (the fact that it has a part named "Wonderland" does not help) XD! No kick is stronger than one of nostalgia I mean last week I was looking up Chipmunks stuff (after watching the live-action film with my mum) and this week it's been all Digimon (after watching an episode from the first season last Wednesday) yes it really is good to bump up against the mirrors of memory. And thanks I think I have the Ducktales theme in my head now XD! I do find that being in one's 20s does make you feel more nostalgia kicks at least that is what I think.
You have a varied taste in music, I love music from the 80s in particular with some 70s thrown in, retro game BGMs (I did say my tastes are a little unusual) , a bit of Reggae especially in the Summer, nature intrumental music, relaxing intrumentals, ambient music and some of the instrumentals by Jean-Michel Jarre to name some sometimes I do prefer instrumentals as some lyrics I hear in some modern songs really grate on my nerves. I also LOVE the cheesy Christmas songs (from the 70s/80s in particular) which we are going to hear alot of now for a month!
Favourite group would be Queen (I grew up hearing alot of their music as some of my family are also Queen fans) and favourite singers would be Kate Bush, Kylie Minogue, Ali Campbell of UB40 fame, Lady GaGa and of course Freddie Mercury. Other than what I have mentioned I usually like songs rather than who sings them it depends what catches my ear I guess.
Thanks again for asking, answering and for not minding my tangents XD! and you are welcome hope you are well too!
