Things With the Initials C.P.

[amarissia]

Crisis Perverted

The Choir was asked today what they think of their English voice actors. (Answer: mostly "eh") I neglected to mention that there are English voices of theirs they actually love - those of the geniuses over at Crisis Perverted. We're all big fans who get very excited when a new audio parody is available. (Genesis also gets sulky because he says his CP!self doesn't get nearly the mansex adoration that all versions of Genesis are rightfully due, but even he loves them.) I've recommended checking out Crisis Perverted in my author notes many times, but if you haven't come across it yet, for the love of all things shiny go now! Pay special attention to the voices of Zack, Sephiroth and Reno, because they're all done by the same talented guy who needs to be sent to Square Enix now, to take over as the official voice of Puppy and (Sephy-)Pants.

They also do Kingdom Hearts skits, which I'm just starting to listen to and only then because I can't resist the hilarity. I have played some of KH1 and some of KH2, that's all, so I don't really understand everything yet. But it's still funny! (Also, took me forever to realize that OrgLIX means Organization 59. I kept calling it Org-licks, which since it sounds dirty was probably no coincidence.)

Cleaning Products

Okay, the second bit isn't really about cleaning products, it's about Bleach. (Which is a cleaning product but apparently not what the anime is about.) To any of you in the ether who happen to be familiar with this particular anime, I wanted to ask - how in the name of the Goddess's holy panties (as Gen likes to say) do you keep all the characters straight? I've been meaning for some time to check it out, and been lately reminded by Karadin mentioning it, but dude. Just looking at the Wiki made my head hurt. I thought FMA/HnR was complicated. And I'm longing for the days when I thought FFVII was complex.

Uh, Choir, we got anything else C.P. to talk about?

Cloud: "...Cocoa Pebbles?"
Zack: "Creepy Pedos, as in what you constantly dump on me?"
Genesis: "Chocolate and Porn?"
Sephy-Pants: "Closed Portals. And they will stay closed, Amarissia."
Genesis: "Closet Perv! That's gonna be my new nickname for Angeal."
Zack: "HEY!"
Genesis: "Maybe Angeal would rather have a Chloroformed Puppy."
Angeal: "Keep it up, Gen, and the phrase of the day will be Crushed Pelvis."

I better go before this gets weirder.

Genesis: "ChocoboPhilia?"
Sephy: *swings Masamune* "Corporal Punishment. And no, there will be no spanking."

I agree about Bleach, I haven't watched all hundred something episodes out yet lol, only really watched the first 70 and some of the new ones. I don't understand how they can keep all straight. Its crazy, there are SO many characters. Its an alright anime though, I think... just so so many episodes that are very complicated at times if you dont watch all of them. Lol. I don't know, its weird but it has a few good fight scenes! -shrug-

Oh and I looked at Crisis Perverted a while ago, it was hilarious lol. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[ayuka86.livejournal.com]

XDDD I like them all!

As for Bleach, I lost track only a few episodes in... same goes for interest. As you said, there are just too many characters. Sure, I do like a few of them, like Rukia's brother and the "megane"-guy (the quincy?)... but otherwise, my new thing is Nabarino Ou. It's about ninjas.... who don't wear bright orange jumpsuits yelling "believe it". The main character's an apathetic reminder of Loveless' Ritsuka, named Miharu.

And about Crisis Perverted, they are pretty damn awesome, aren't they?

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Ninjas? :) *ducks Naruto reference, ooh that was close* I gotta check that one out and see if doesn't trigger GenGen's shota complex...

:)

[ayuka86.livejournal.com]

Now that you mention that... maybe we should keep Gen far FAR away from little Miharu. You see, he (miharu) knows what kind of power/pull he has with the shota thing and uses/abuses it so... That will only give Gen ideas, me thinks.

[key-of-ra.livejournal.com]

I lost track of the characters early on. Don't worry, most of them show up once or twice and you really don't have to remember their names. The Soul-reapers and Arrancars you need to keep track of are easy enough to keep apart. I dunno about the characters from that filler arc the anime dumped in, though. *shrugs* I skipped to the Arrancar season after seeing Uluquiorra and finding out that Ichimaru wasn't in the fillers. ^-^

Crisis Perverted rocks! Thanks for introducing me to it! *hugs*

*chokes on pop*

My friend Brandon started watching Bleach about a year ago because a friend of his was basing a D&D game on the anime. He claimed it was "research". Hee.

Gah. I've listened to a few episodes of Perverted, but I could only manage it at work occasionally when I was covering a respite shift or something. Stupid dial-up. I didn't even know they did Kingdom Hearts. Heh. Perhaps I shall get Kevin to bring over his laptop so I can listen to all of these in one sitting.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

I'm going to keep you and Kevin very busy, aren't I?

Soooo, when ya doing MoB? I am feeling sympathy squees over here just thinking about it! :)

Yes oh yes, listen to it all, as soon as you can, it is the awesome.

[kel-fish.livejournal.com]

Very. Not that we mind, considering we do this kind of thing on a weekly basis. Just depends on which series we're binging on.

ASAP. Not this weekend, because he's doing stuff with other people tomorrow, and today we're watching movies with family and such. I do not think my dad would approve of MoB. Just sayin'.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, MoB is not for family viewing. :) Well, maybe up to episode 7. But even just the looks Naoe gives Takaya...well, you'll see... :)

[mistress-259.livejournal.com]

The manga's better.

Although the anime is fun, especially if you think of who else the voice actors have done.

Did you know that Cloud's voice actor does Kira Izuru, and Sephiroth's does Kurosaki Isshin in Bleach? And Rude's and Rufus' have anime-only roles.

And from FMA, Edward Elric's does Hitsugaya Toushirou, Alphonse Elric's does Kurosaki Karin and Kurotsuchi Nemu, and Riza Hawkeye's does Rukia?

And if you've played Kingdom Hearts or Dissidia in Japanese, Squall's voice actor does Ukitake Jyuushirou, and FFX's Tidus does Kurosaki Ichigo.

From YuYuHakusho, Hiei, Yuusuke, and Kuwabara are all represented, too.

....Just thought I'd throw even more names and confusion at you.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

:) Well, thank you, familiar voices are always incentive!

*is wondering if Romi Park specializes in grumpy short guys*

[meowwl.livejournal.com]

Toshiyuki Morikawa (Sephiroth's voice) does indeed voice Isshin Kurosaki, but he also does Kaname Tousen, and Tsubaki (one of Orihime's hair clip fairies)...and he sings too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaxmDW2-efg

Sorry, hit wrong reply button the first time.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

*can't reply, too busy laughing over 'hair clip fairies'*

[icewolf89.livejournal.com]

I kinda lost interest in Bleach after some episodes >>'' It's interesting but... not my type. Plus, it has sooo many episodes == these type of animes normally tire me off very quickly, I have no patience at all for them... So I ended up jumping a bit and watching only a few epis. *shame* I'll keep my Pandora Hearts, thank you xD
Crisis Perverted? I've got to check it out ^^ *runs*

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, check it out! You will laugh, I promise!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

You'll remember the characters as you read the manga or watch the anime as they are introduced (usually in groups of three) and their designs are all very different. Now considering who Gen would like ... plenty of brunettes to choose from...

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (And possibly GRR, if you end up unknowingly dragging me into a new complicated fandom. :))

Gen does tend to favor brunets...huh, I never noticed that...

[chalkbutterfly.livejournal.com]

I got to Bleach episode 145 before I gave up. The characters aren't that hard to keep track of, because all the important ones look different. But it does drag on...
Many thanks for reccomending Crisis Perverted! I found the link on your ff.net account, listened to one, then downloaded the bunch! Epic win!
While the Genesis voice actor might not be as amazing or sexy-sounding or as good at making me go weak at the knees as the Japanese voice actor (Gackt I<3U!), at least he's much better then the one at the end of Dirge of Cerberus. I only found out about the secret ending after Crisis Core, and I think I know where vampire!Genesis from Madness came from... He sounds like a bad Dracula impersonator...

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

LOL, that may indeed be part of what inspired Madness!Genesis's vampireness. My reaction to DoC!Gen's voice was like "...what the hell? That voice is a joke, right?" Thank Gaia it was better in CC, from the little bit I've heard, anyway.

Mostly the idea of a vampire Genesis came right from Gackt, who claimed to be a vampire. Since I don't have any proof he's not a vampire, I assume he is and figured I might as well try it on Gen as well. This is an example of Amarissia-logic. :)

[meowwl.livejournal.com]

If you've seen Cowboy Bebop, then you've heard Genesis' english voice...It's the same guy who does Spike Spiegal, Steven Blum.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

...what?

I failed to recognize Steven Blum?

VINCENT [BLEEP]ING VALENTINE?

...I have to turn in my FF Fan badge now, don't I?

[ayuka86.livejournal.com]

Um, I though Gen was voiced by Robin Atkin Downes in DoC...? I know that Oliver Quinn played him in CC, though.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

...really? ...I can have my badge back?

HA, I thought thye were voiced by the same guy for some reason...which makes no sense, considering that CC!Gen was okay.

[chalkbutterfly.livejournal.com]

I think Gackt is a vampire in real life. I mean, he hasn't aged in any of his videos! He looks exactly the same now as he looked in his Malice Mizer days! Besides, who else but a vampire could have such sex appeal? Both Gackt and Genesis can bite me anytime... *sigh*
I agreee, though. First time I found out about the hidden ending, I decided I should watch it online before I put all the effort into getting the 100% ending, just to get me psyched up. After waiting through about 5 minutes of "The end" that didn't even have Redemption playing, I get one line in that rubbish voice. It sounded much better in the Japanese version. Now that was worth waiting for!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Hee, I sucked at DoC so bad that I didn't get the special ending, so I had to go see it online. Which is better than having worked for it and gotten that awful voice, I guess...

Genesis: "Sorry, dear, no females!" :)

[chalkbutterfly.livejournal.com]

I managed to finish it. It took ages, but I got to play as Vincent, get an ending with Genesis, look at Nero, Weiss, Cloud and all the other bishies and play an awesome video game at the same time! What's not to love! Plus, I got to beat the snot out of Hojo, AGAIN!! Seph must love that game.
No hard feelings, Gen. I can always dream...*goes and does just that*
Seriously, though, if you aren't going to pass on your genes, they should clone you. Those genes are too good to waste. Beisdes, imagine the world with Genesis clones readily available! There would be no wars, just rainbows and happy girls and gay guys everywhere. We can kill the straight guys off. We don't need them. Then everyone will be happy!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Sephy loved the Hojo-beating. He would have made me play that part over and over if the game hadn't been making me uber-anxious already. He didn't so much like watching Vincent hit on his mother. And he complained that there was too little of Cloud. And of himself, of course.

Genesis: *soaks up praise* "Well yes, my genes are too good to waste. If Seph or L would just be willing to - "
Sephy: "No. No mpreg at all, but definitely not with you."
Genesis: "Spoil-sport."
Choir: *shudders at the thought of multiple Genesises...*

[chalkbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Not mpreg, clone! I want perfect copies! No contamination of the genes shall be permitted! You can't improve perfection, so don't mess with the genes!
But I think multiple Genesis' is a great idea. If you do decide to clone him, I bagsie one!
Going of on a total tangent, but damn you for getting me hooked on Kyou Kara Maoh! I haven't gotten any homework done for an entire week, because every time I sit at the computer to write my essays up, I hear it calling my name! But, I'm around episode 70, and I see no yaoi. Not even a hint of BL! Tell me there's hope! *goes to feed KKM addiction*
And, another sidenote, imagine, the clones would have to grow up first! Little Genesis chibis! Awwww! That would be so undescribably adorable... Well, now I know what I want for Christmas! What are the Choir asking for?

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Sephy: "Even cloned Genesises would be s horrifying ordeal for us. And the world, I imagine."

Genesis: "If I do manage to clone myself, you get the first one, dear." *charming smile*

BWA HA HA, KKM convert! I know, it's a hell of an addiction. Not a hint of BL? Look closer. Watch Conrad obsessing over Yuuri, and Gunter...obsessing over Yuuri, and Wolfram...let's just say everyone obsesses over Yuuri. Episode 70? Damn, it's been a while. I believe Wolfram will speak more...explicitly, and his behavior will become less I-love-you-so-I-pretend-to-hate-you and more I-love-you-and-I-admit-it. KKM is not yaoi, so all it does is hint, but the number of bishies alone kinda makes up for it. You haven't met Sara yet, have you? (Don't worry, he's a guy.) He'll gay things up a bit too...

And...gah, I don't remember how far things have gone by episode 70. Don't you just assume they're all secretly paired up just by watching them, though? :)

Angeal: "I had to deal with the real Genesis as a child. You don't want chibis, trust me. They'd be very demanding."

The Choir does most of their Yule celebrating apart from me, since I don't celebrate Christmas and don't like it. I made the mistake once of asking Cloud what he wanted most and he rattled off a string of sex toys that he said Sephy was getting for him, and from innocent little Choir!Cloud...it was weird. :)

[chalkbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Yay! I get the first one!
Yeah, it's pretty implied, but the inner me is yelling "70 episodes, goddamn it! Give me yaoi already!" I tried to shut the voice up with chocolate, but that yielded no results... No Sara yet, mind.
And yes, Angeal, I do too want a chibi! Imagine, a little Genesis, with big blue eyes, asking for a bedtime story! Oh, so kawaii! Demanding, maybe, but it's not like I have anything better to do with my time!
Don't celebrate Christmas? I'm an atheist, but I still celebrate it as a holiday (and cause I want presents!) and it's a good excuse for a holiday!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

I know, I was kinda waiting for the yaoi to pop up too, but soon I was so absorbed in the story that I didn't mind. And wow, so many cute/funny moments! Is Murata around by episode 70? I think so. I want to adopt him.

Angeal: "A little Genesis might be cute, but it would still be Genesis. Which means manipulation and tantrums and very...uh...explicit stories."
Genesis: *tries to look innocent, looks diabolical*

I'm Pagan, so really I should be celebrating Yule, at least, but agh. This time of the year just makes me anxious. I don't do well with a lot of noise and lights, so you can imagine...

Alas, here we do not take holidays, only vacations, which are inferior... :)

[chalkbutterfly.livejournal.com]

Eh, I guess I can watch an entire series with just implied yaoi... It will be hard, but I can do it! Murata has appeared, and he's like the adorable nerd best friend I always wanted! King of his own country, magic powers, awesome alter ego, surrounded by bishies, awesome best friend...Lucky Yuri...
I have a yaoi fangirl little sister. Nothing my Genesis-chibi does could possibly shock me further. Besides, if it got too bad (which I doubt could happen) I could always just tune out the words and listen to that voice. Imagine what a chibi-Gackt would sound like! *dies*
Yule, Christmas, either way. Noise and lights are annoying, but eh, what can you do? I hate carolers, mind. People knocking on your door, then singing really badly... And just slamming the door in their faces would be rude... Moral dilemma! You can't just not answer, you never know who it might be!
On a seperate note, why are all the best sales after Christmas, once all the poor students are broke and can't afford any of the great bargains? The world is conspiring against me, I swear!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Seriously, Yuri should stop complaining. He's living every fangirl's dream! :)

[rethira.livejournal.com]

While remember, OrgLIX is awesome. I die whenever I listen to anything they've recorded.

Their Xemnas is so brilliantly crazy - also, Saix+dress=craziness.

In keeping with the C.P theme, I offer Crawlspace Pervert, in honour of DiZ.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

LOL, I get that now but so wouldn't have, like, two days ago. Heeee, Diz!

[rethira.livejournal.com]

Please tell me you've listened to 'Late Night at the Grocery Store'.

Please. It's madness like you wouldn't believe.

I quote:'Peanut butter, doggie treats, condoms and a nubile boy!'

It just kind of goes from there.

Also, nothing can beat 'Answering Machine'. Nothing. Ever. It's just the pinnacle of awesomeness, to which we all aspire.

And 'Official Pie'. I have new respect for all pie based anything. Otherwise Xemnas will have my head.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Yep. Haven't heard Official Pie yet, but I LOVED the grocery store one. And I love that it's a voice I now associate with Hojo. :)

I must remember to go devour them all...I was just surprised there are so many...

[rethira.livejournal.com]

Yeah there are loads. And they're all brilliant.

Bedtime Story. Just... I think I died. Also, Birds and Bees.

Their awesomeness defies description. Hojo is suddenly funny, instead of evil.

[ladygunblade.livejournal.com]

Isn't that a very easy question? CP = Choir Porn.

I have not checked out Crisis Perverted... yet. Don't glare at me like that! I will in the future. ...Maybe. Ow! *rubs smacked head* But they have KH parodies as well? Ohohohoh! I hope it's dirty.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

AGH, why didn't we think of that? Why didn't I think of that, it's only my WHOLE LIFE? :)

You whaaaa? Go forth and check it out! Three words - Hojo drunk-dialing!

Zack: "It is seriously awesome. The guy who does me rocks. Uh, who does my voice, I mean."

[robonun.livejournal.com]

I realize that Hojo is a sore subject with the Choir, but can I just say that the Hojo of Crisis Perverted is friggin' hilarious? Better comedy through experimental biochemistry, baby!

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

Yes, he normally is a sore subject, but the Choir actually finds CP!Hojo so funny that it's okay. Sephy still wears his traumatized expression when we hear him, especially The Talk and the Bedtime Story, but they all like him.

Genesis would like to add that if you say the phrase "MC Hojillionaire" to Sephy, his eyes twitch. :)

[sanu-chan.livejournal.com]

Glad to help out with Angeal's new nickname, because it suits him! <3

L- :sigh:

Five men in my head now, lol.

L- Kidnapping, Sanu. I'm telling Watari.

[amarissia.livejournal.com]

HA HA HA, getting tattled on by L!

(How does Watari punish, I wonder? Some proper British method. "Into the naughty chair you go!")
