Which episode was that???
I remember half-naked Zechs very well, but I'm coming to a blank on Wufei. >.> Need to rewatch that episode.
Rurouni Kenshin...I got into that by reading a fanfic by one of my favorite fanfic authors, Arigatomina. When I heard it was going to be on CN, I watched it and am I the *only* one who thinks the beginning song 'Freckles' belongs on the dubbed Sailor Moon?!
First, for the sake of vanity and curiosity, which fic was it?
I never got far with Rurouni Kenshin as a fanfic medium (liked Kaoru too much to do anything wild). You should try my 'Don't Wake Me' music video - once your 2 week wait is up. It was made to go with one of my RK fics. ^.~
And no, you're not the only one to think Freckles was an insanely girlish song for a samurai anime.
I just figured it was meant for Misao - it sounds like her type of singing.
Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha I got hooked on in the same way. Word of mouth. A friend of mine online got hooked into it and told me I should watch it, so I did. I wanna see the japanese version though. Those are apparently better than the dubbed...course...everything's better in it's original language.
YYH is god of my anime universe. As a worshiper I can tell you - Japanese is beautiful. You'll get used to Kurama's voice fast, and you'll love Hiei's voice (you'll never go back to dubbed after you hear Hiei's voice...) Rent a dvd or two from Netflix (
www.netflix.com ) if you can't afford to buy one - that will let you compare the Japanese to the dub. There's a free trial rental, so you can cancel quick and not have to spend a penny. ^.^ I recommend getting the long movie - it has all the characters, so you can hear all of their Japanese voice actors.
