Especially the kind that smacks at the side of the head with an ice pick.  But I have to watch it.  I have to find a better quality video but right now I’m not picky because, well, smoking-hot-demon-boy.  It’s Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru (The Betrayal Knows My Name) and frankly, after getting a link in my inbox and there’s action and cute and fluff and adorable orphans and GAH.  I’m not entirely positive I’ve seen so much non-pairing FLUFF in a light yaoi before.

 

Let’s start with the fact that our main male lead, Yuki is a pretty boy who in a past life was a girl and the lover of this high-level demon, and now that he’s reincarnated as a man—well, his lover doesn’t really mind even though Yuki-kun/chan *depending on who’s talking to/about him* has no idea what’s going on.

 

I’m only an episode and a half in and I can only find shoddy Youtube rips, but considering the price on Amazon I can’t afford it right now.  Plus I can’t tell if the version they have is subbed.  (And there’s even a drama CD but I can’t understand the language.  LOL.  I’m still tempted.  Luka is pretty hot sounding.)

 

Back to the Youtuebs.

Fukuyama: I haven't decided what sort of performance I'm going to go with for this but I don't have to; my fangirls will love me no matter what I do.
Inoue: Um, shouldn't you be more considerate of your job as a credible seiyuu?
Fukuyama: Who are you to give me criticism?
Inoue: I'm Marina Inoue!
Fukuyama: Who?
Inoue: Remember? I played Caetuna in FF type-0?
Fukuyama: Who?
Inoue: The Suzaku Cie'th lady?
Fukuyama: Pah, nobody remembers her!
Inoue: What about the female protagonist in the portable version of Persona 3?
Fukuyama: ...Are you sure that wasn't just Ishida using a falsetto?

Koyasu: Greetings, Hoshi. I'm your half-brother.
Hoshi: Oh...this is kinda awkward considering what we did together in Sukisho and all...
Koyasu: Oh relax, it's not as though this sort of thing is uncommon in anime.

Horiuchi: Your ass is mine, Morikawa!
Morikawa: Meeples! Please be gentle!
(CUT TO: 2004: recording of Kyou Kara Maou)
Horiuchi: Erm...
Morikawa: ...So you're my dad now?
Horiuchi: This is a little...
Morikawa: Yeah...
(FLASHBACK - 2001: recording of Endless Series)
Morikawa: Hey. We screwing again?
Ishida: What else?
Morikawa: This is what, the...fifth series we've done together now?
Ishida: Probably. Now are you going to be brutal or gentle? I want to know how high I have to raise my pitch.
(CUT TO: 2006: recording of NIGHT HEAD GENESIS)
Ishida: We're...brothers.
Morikawa: ...Eyup.
Ishida: Extremely...close...brothers.
Morikawa: Uh-huh...
Ishida: And my character is depressingly dependent on yours to the point of needing to clutch onto him for protection?
Morikawa: Pretty much...
Ishida: ...This is going to be the biggest ship in the fandom, isn't it?
Morikawa: Seems set to be.
(FLASHBACK - 1997: recording of Ourin Gakuin)
Midorikawa: So can I just ask; how high can you go?
Ishida: Um, I think pretty high. I mean I can do a woman voice if you want-
Midorikawa: Nah, it's fine. Just try and make me sound seme by compariso- actually you know what, never mind. Just keep doing what you're doing.
Ishida: What's that supposed to mean?
(CUT TO: 2000: recording of Sukisho)
Midorikawa: Oh...
Ishida: Hmm...
Midorikawa: So you're my...'mother'?
Ishida: My character thinks of himself as that.
Midorikawa: Does that mean you're not going to do the woman voice?

I'M LAUGHING MY ASS OFF BECAUSE I TOTALLY KNOW KYOU KARA MAOH up to a point about 5 volumes in anyway

Is it bad that each flashback cut I see the old fashioned Pokémon-style speed-cut along with the sound effects it gets?

I've only seen a bit of Kyou Kara Maoh but the seiyuu allusions are pretty hilarious. Mateus is Sephiroth's dad, Sephiroth is utterly dedicated to protecting Cloud, Angeal is another one of Cloud's loyal followers as is Gabranth (Laguna is his cousin)...oh and Kuja is another demon king trying to put the moves on Cloud.

NOT AT ALL.

Is it bad that, without having actually seen the anime, I can SEE who's who from the manga in their proper roles?

Brings that awkward accidental proposal a whole nother level of hilarity.

DON'T PICK THAT UP YUURI! Dope.

Nope. I can judge who's playing who in BLs based on the cover artwork alone...

Really what amused me most was how in the OVA when they introduced Saralegui, not only did Yuuri mistake him for a woman at first (Ishida can't resist playing ladyboys, can he?) but his first series of lines were a send up of Kaworu's introduction from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just in case the fans didn't know who was voicing him. The FFIX version of this speech would be:

Kuja: Theatre is good.
Zidane: Huh?
Kuja: Plays bring joy and revitalize the human soul. I think that theatre is the highest achievement of Gaian culture. Wouldn't you agree, Zidane Tribal?
Zidane: How do you know my name?
Kuja: Everyone knows your name. I don't mean to sound rude, but you're rather ignorant of your own position.
Zidane: Oh really? Who're you?
Kuja: I am Kuja. I am like you, an angel of death.
[AND THERE'S A BIT MORE BUT IT'D VENTURE INTO OOC TERRITORY FOR THESE TWO]

PFFT. I remember this. I did a double take. The friend I borrowed these from, on handing me that one, went, "Let me know when you find the trap. Might take a while."

WTF LOL.

I don't usually watch the 'Next Time On' preview things, but these are hilarious...

Fukuyama: I am nibbling this strawberry pocki in such a badass way. Oh yeah, don't you wish you could chip away at it like I can? My fangirls just dream they could be this pocki.
Inoue: You're not even voice acting! It's just visuals of the character you play!
Fukuyama: Oh yeah, I am just that damn good.

UH
