And reportedly (according to Vic) they said 'no". *and this is only from watching the 9 minute rant*
I find this hard to believe on several levels.
CLAMP is very elusive.. they neither confirm nor deny things. It's how they operate and a good reason of why I love them. Anyone asks, I highly doubt that they would give a straight answer.. because they are LIKE that. As
kaitou_marina stated, they know limited english and Vic knows limited Japanese. You can see where that would get very FUN to muddle through. Seriously though, I could say that they would say 'yes' but even I know that isn't the truth. This is CLAMP you are dealing with after all, they make money off of faceplanting millions of fangirls everywhere.Try a little harder, Vic. Try to make your lies more convincing and then -maybe- people will believe them. (that is why I think that religion and ethics should stay the hell out of anime.. because Vic is turning his anime career into an anti-buttsecks pro-jesus-christ campaign and I have no problem with that.. but not a whole lot of people are going to be listening to him at anime-cons where the main point of them -are- fantasy worlds and unreality)
It is obviously a very clamp-ranty week.
Okay, I totally don't care. XD
...Maybe he'll cry. X3
I actually saw Vic up close once at Anime Boston (I was standing maybe 10 feet from him), and the first word that came to mind was CLOSETED. I can't take dubbers seriously anyhow, especially not ones who claim to be the be all and end all of their character's orientation.
(Plus IMO the manga's a million times better)
Anime studios need to drop the idiots (and alkflasfaklsdf;; BAD VAs) they've kept on payroll for the last 10-15 years and pick up the consummate professionals that modern video games are hiring.
Besides just when does he think this talk took place? A phone call would be out unless they had a 3-way with a translator plus they would have to work out the time difference. CLAMP has made no trips to the US lately so that means he would have to take a trip to Japan during the middle of the biggest con season (which I doubt he'd want to miss out on since he gets paid for going to them).
Vic's the type who would try arguing that Yukito and Touya are just "really good friends".
Seriously, I want to call that guy out on all of his shit, but it's nigh impossible. I keep hoping he'll find my LJ again so we can have it out.
WORD. Absolute, total word.
♥ for this post.
And yay Wolfwood and Vash! <3<3<3
So what are your thoughts on Hiro and Ando from Heroes? After catching the ComicCon panels on Youtube (couldn't be at the con this year) it looks like they're headed for officialdom too.
It's a good time to be a fan ^_^
