JoJo’s the Animation with Subtitles and a Better Game Trailer
The anime community is quick on the ball to translate something I wanted to see. You remember the JoJo’s Animation trailer, now remember being able to know what was said during it.
Takehito Koyasu was an excellent pick for Dio. But that’s not all. Now we have a better look at the trailer for All Star Battle. It doesn’t have a Rohan cosplayer, but you can hear the voices better.
The game still looks interesting. I didn’t expect Gold Experience Requiem to be in the game since that seems a little unbalanced what with it being invincible, but maybe it’s just a power up ultra like when Makoto from Street Fighter gets a sunburn. More importantly, at least from this trailer since it isn’t gameplay, are that I can finally distinguish the voices well enough to comment on them. At first, I thought that everyone was fine except maybe Joseph, but I’m not sure anymore. Jotaro and Wham sound appropriately voiced, Jotaro being very calm and collected even when kicking ass and Wham sounding like he has a lot of authority and being calm inside that, but their actors don’t sound as into it as they should be. This may seem like a non sequitur, but did you ever see the Gurren Lagann parts of Super Robot Wars Z 2 – Saiseihen?
I’m getting the same feeling where the voice sounds right, but something is slightly off as though the actor wasn’t totally into it. Maybe it’ll be better when I’m playing the game itself. However, Joseph still sounds off. He doesn’t sound young or hot blooded enough to accidentally set off a volcano. That’s super robot levels of hot blood, so you have to bring you A game to that voice. Gyro is the only one I wasn’t at least somewhat bothered by.
Still looking forward to the game. Gyro’s horse has become the equivalent of The Big O’s piston punch because no matter how many flaws crop up in that game, stomping on people with a horse will save it just like the final move against Big Duo makes that whole show worth it.
Oh, and the pizza and mozzarella song and Gyro’s sweet 1800′s grill, obviously. Basically, I want this game for Gyro and no other reason.
Just try and find a better moment in JoJo’s than this. That’s what I thought.
