Novel Themes: Subs and Dubs

When I woke up this morning and went on my computer, the first thing I did asides from going on Swag Bucks to earn daily points for rewards is go on GameFAQs. GameFAQs is a website dedicated to cheat codes and walkthroughs for video games of any kind. It's saved my bacon many times when I needed help with a certain game or unlocking certain items. While it's a great website, you're probably wondering what it has to do with my novel. I'll sum this up with two words: today's poll.

I look at the poll section and find out that today's topic involves whether people prefer Japanese original voice work or English dubbed voice work in Japanese developed games. First place went to subbed work, second depending on the game, and third dubbed. The losers went to it doesn't matter and I never play Japanese developed games. The fact that first place went to Japanese voices cements the issue of subs vs. dubs in my novel further; that there are people who want subtitles and think any dub is inferior to the original voice work. One of the antagonist characters in my novel, Devil's Egotism, represents these people. He labels anything western as 'inferior', speaks Japanese in addition to English to taunt his foes, and is a representation of the arrogant anime and manga fans that think official dubs and translations are inferior.

I wanted to write this blog post because people say that voice work is the make or break part of video games, especially with Baten Kaitos on the Nintendo GameCube. I strongly disagree; I could care less about the quality of the voice work in a game, but if I can't get past a level or achieve a certain completion percentage because somebody in beta testing fell asleep on the job or the developers were really sadistic, we have problems. Mega Man X6 is an example of such scenarios; the game was localized in a matter of one week, and yes a week, not months or years, one week, and it shows. Not only did Capcom USA not bother to dub voice work, which showed how lazy they were, but they didn't bother with lowering the difficulty some. The reason the game is so hard and hated is because of awful level design and the rescue system of the game. To make a long story short, if you fail to rescue a reploid carrying an important upgrade for your character, your game is royally screwed and are forced to restart, unless you cheat and use the god armors, then you might beat it. The controls aren't a walk in the park, either, and if you get stuck in a level, you will get stuck and be forced to suicide all your lives. What was that about voice work ruining a game again?

It's a sensitive topic I wanted to talk about so I don't worry about my day being ruined over a poll. I just hope people will understand what I'm talking about without starting a flame war of sorts. By the way, I won't be talking about the sections of chapters in the novel, but I will be summarizing what happens in upcoming chapters. I'm not going to baby people with tidbits of individual sections.

Side story progress, and a dream anime cast list

Well, just want the world to know that the second side story chapter is almost completed. Now it's about the efforts of B.W. and Miyu Kusanagi as they momentarily split up from Kirk and Tigercat and take on the Germanians' training exercise while encountering two of the Germanian Empire's four elite IllusionCore pilots.

By the way, I've might have mentioned in an earlier blog post that this novel would feature an ambitious audio novel unique in that an industry veteran voice actor would voice it. However, a full cast is not practical for audiobooks; I'd only hire one industry veteran VA for such a project. I would, however, like to see my work turned into an anime film. So, here's my dream cast for this dream anime.

Personally, I want Cristina Valenzuela to do audiobook for this work, while Karen Strassman would do the sequel. Plans for a third and episode zero novel are still in the works.


Johnny Yong Bosch - Kirk/KFBAT/Kevin Redbeacon
(JYB is the classic hero/anti-hero type, which these characters are; he even prefers this character!)

Wendee Lee - Eloyse Floyd/Tigercat/Vulpecula/Canus Major/Canus Minor/Lyra/Cassiopeia
(Wendee Lee is a superb multirole voice artist, known for characters ranging from high school girls to young boys and older tough gal types. She would be suited for all of these characters as a result.)

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn - Melissa Williamson/Miyu Kusanagi/Venus/Anna Germania/Captain Atsuko Kurasagi
(Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is good with the sexy, tough as nails heroine characters.)

Cristina Valenzuela (or Cristina Vee, whichever she would prefer) - Noel/Vambrace/Suzumi Himoto
(Cristina Vee is good with young girls, but also great for the heroine characters, too. The characters that she would voice represent her in a variety of ways, but perhaps the most important aspect of Noel would be that she would be speaking Japanese. This is actually a part of the novel's theme and story, which will not be covered in this blog post. Cristina Vee can speak Japanese very fluently, and would be best suited for these characters.)

Richard Epcar - B.W./Mars/Pinnace
(Richard Epcar is good with the wise but strong characters, but perhaps the biggest trait is that he has a sort of relation with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn in terms of career history. Basically, Miyu Kusanagi and B.W. are friends in my novel, Batou and Major Motoko Kusanagi are friends in Ghost in the Shell, and Richard Epcar and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn are friends in real life. It's a theme I'm following in this novel.)

Michelle Ruff - Georgette Germania/Mother Angel
(Michelle Ruff, like Wendee Lee, is a multirole type, but somewhat more condensed. She's most effective as a sort of commanding figure, though, so the roles of Georgette Germania and Mother Angel would go to her.)

Stephanie Sheh - Lepus/Devil's Mistress
(Stephanie is good with voicing young women, even though Lepus is more than just a young woman. Also, I wanted her to voice a villainess, so as to break out of her usual mold. [This role is a work in progress, as I want to draw a picture of, and have other female VAs to voice Devil's Mistress before I decide which one works best])

Lauren Landa - Zenaiva
(Lauren is good as the fanservice character, as well as young girls and boys, but this character would be the troubled sister who is forced to work for an evil army.)

Cindy Robinson - C.R./Circinus
(Cindy Robinson can not only voice young boys effectively (she's also the new official voice of Betty Boop), but also use a more natural voice for the more serious characters. That, and her Ordinance Quail character matches her initials.)

Kate Higgins - C.H./Hydra
(Kate recently got promoted to multirole voice artist status, but for the anime, she would be playing this Ordinance Quail character due to her initials matching Kate's.)

Yuri Lowenthal - Suzuki Roberts/Devil's Egotism/Crux
(Yuri is good with a variety of male characters, from Suzuki/Suzaku's Knight Templar style, to Devil's Egotism's maniacal and arrogant villain personality, and Crux's noble and heroic sense of humility. Also, Devil's Egotism and Crux can speak Japanese in addition to English, which is an important part of the novel's theme and story since Noel has some past with these devil characters [they are part of an organization called the Diablo's Darkness, by the way]. Yuri Lowenthal can speak Japanese fluently, which makes him best suited to these characters.)

Tara Platt - Lacerta
(Tara Platt is on par with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's warrior characters, but Tara has some compassion and kindness in her as well. Also, Crux and Lacerta are both husband and wife in my novel, just as Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt are married in real life. Yes, voice actor relations and parallels to fictional characters are a theme in this novel.)

Christopher Sabat - Feral Wolf
(Christopher is good with both the hammy and the aggressive villain types, but I wanted to match Feral Wolf's voice and personality with that of Wild Dog from Namco's Time Crisis series. The main goal is to try and emulate the old voice actor of Wild Dog in Time Crisis one and two, which I find Christopher Sabat to be best suited for the role.)

Crispin Freeman - McDougal Gottfried/Tokuso/Devil's Psycho/Pluto
(Crispin is good with a variety of male characters, but he is suited for Devil's Psycho because of his history of playing as psychotic characters like Albedo Piazzolla from Namco's Xenosaga and Alucard from Hellsing. He's also good for Pluto, a dark-themed hero, as he's played similar characters, too.)

Karen Strassman - Karen Strassfield/Devil's Seduction
(Karen, while achieving the status of multirole, would be voicing both an Ordinance Quail character and Devil's Seduction, since Karen is good with the seductive villainess voice. That, and her OQ character shares both her real name and a pen name.)

Steve Blum - Roger Smith/ORO
(While Steve Blum is a supreme special multirole, his character appearances are somewhat limited to that of a reporter based on a character from Big O and a ninja warrior like that of Time Crisis' MOZ but spelled out with the first three letters of Orochimaru from Naruto.)

Liam O'Brien - Sheruto Garra
(Liam can handle a variety of male characters, but I chose him to emulate the old voice of Sherudo Garo from Time Crisis. Also, the character design is a mixture of Sherudo, Gaara from Naruto and Liam O'Brien himself, which makes him suitable for this role.)

Sam Riegel - Samuel
(While having only a minor part, Sam Riegel would be best suited for Samuel due to his natural voice.)

John Kassir - Devil's Perversion
(He's mostly noted for Raymundo Rocket from Rocket Power and the crypt keeper from Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the Crypt Keeper, but his voice as Monsoon from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance fits perfectly as Devil's Perversion)

Charles Forrest "Spike" Spencer - Devil's Maniac
(While Spike Spencer can voice a variety of male characters, I chose him for Devil's Maniac because of how the character is like that of Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion but has the personality of Arakune from BlazBlue. Spike really wants to play the psychotic characters, kind of like Mark Hamill and Joker from Batman.)

Patrick Seitz - Patrick Seitz
(He's Patrick Setiz. He's a voice actor. He's getting a small cameo in this novel. Need I say more?)

Rebecca Forstadt - Kiva Redbeacon
(Rebecca can voice sweet young girls, but is chosen for this role for reference reasons.)

Michael McConnohie - Michael Germania
(Michael can voice the in-charge and hammy characters greatly, making him a fit for Michael Germania.)

Julie Ann Taylor - Julie Samford
(This character role is minor, but it fits because Julie Ann Taylor is good with the compassionate women.)

Brina Palencia - Corona Borealis
(Brina is good with the young and older women, but would be suited for this role due to the character resembling Rei Ayanami, another NGE character. Of course, the big difference between Rei and C. Borealis would be that Brina would be using her natural voice.)

Tiffany Lynn Grant - Corona Austrina/Devil's Doppelganger
(Tiffany is basically Asuka Langley Soryu incarnate, which is what Corona Austrina is designed upon. Same thing with Devil's Doppelganger, but there's a secret involved with this character. Also, Tiffany would be using a natural voice and a deeper, more sultry voice for both C. Austrina and Devil's Doppelganger respectively.)

Kirk Thornton - Cygnus
(He can voice a variety of male characters, both lone wolf and wise, but in this case Kirk's character is in line with Gabumon from Digimon, voice wise, but design wise he's a mix of Bunshichi Tawara from Tenjho Tenge and Weregarurumon from Digimon.)

As you can see, the cast here consists of veteran voice actors that have experience in anime in one way or another, but some of the cast members don't get as big of a role as others. Nonetheless, as I have said before, this would be the perfect cast if this were made into an anime.

Publisher Reconsideration

I was scrolling around the web finding good publishers and self-publishing groups when I decided to look back at PublishAmerica, my first publisher choice due to supposed incentives involving free publishing and no upfront payments. However, after reading some info regarding an abysmal BBB rating and a class action lawsuit, I quickly changed my mind over the choice.

First, a simple Google search will reveal all sorts of negativity involved with the publishing company, such as how it's a scam and how they're not really getting your book into stores. A forum board even covers the negatives and debunks the myths on their website. I've read a lot of bad things about their services, but what really took the cake was the fact that they didn't even bother to properly edit accepted work. Hell, there were issues of errors being added to manuscripts as well. Not good considering I could do a better job with an online service. Even worse than that, PA openly stated that some of the books they sell don't even sell one copy. Sometimes, for the books that did sell, they didn't even pay any royalties, a big no-no in the industry.

For the too long; didn't read crowd, Publish America, based on my research, is of the lowest of the low. It doesn't help that they have an F ranking on the Better Business Bureau's website. Of course, the madness doesn't stop there. This month, a lawsuit was filed on the company, with the authors that submitted work to PublishAmerica serving as the plaintiffs. You know a company has royally screwed up and broken so many promises when a lawsuit has to be filed on the company. Now I can see why the BBB gave this company an F rank. Well, back to the drawing board. Maybe find other publishers that will accept my work or just self-publish my work. Might find a good book advertising agency that will hopefully widespread my work, too.

Two hundred views, and something relating to my novel.

Hooray! Two hundred views, that's a milestone for this blog! And to think it's been up for exactly one month! Not only that, but people from around the world have found my blog! Thanks for the two hundred views.

Celebrations aside, I wanted to discuss my novel now that I've made progress in it. The novel isn't just a cliche storm of everything anime and manga, but rather, it's really a mash-up of some Japanese pop culture. From the giant robots, to the varieties of characters and stories, and some elements from other Japanese media. Yet, the novel was really called 'Animator's Dream', as the book was intended to explore animation and what makes it tick. It wasn't until I added these other elements that I felt that it was more than just animation; it was everything Japanese. Still, it doesn't change the theme of the novel at all. In fact, I find it enhances the novel and turns it into a reading experience like no other.

The audio novel that I want to do is also something out of the ordinary; imagine me alongside veteran anime voice actors that provide the voice work to the myriad of characters in this novel. This is a monumental achievement, for it is a rarity in the novel industry to have multiple voice actors involved with an audio novel, let alone anime veterans. This is usually reserved for just one person, and one person alone. This is a chance that I hope to get someday when I complete my novel, but I want to meet these voice actors and see if they approve of my work. Also, I have to get past the middle men known as their agents and other similar obstacles. Then again, getting my work out isn't going to be a cakewalk, either. It's not enough that I have to find a good publisher and/or use amazon.com's self-publishing service in order to get my work on the market. I'd have to find a good advertiser or so that dedicates itself to novels or books in general, and pour in lots of resources in order to do so. So much to do, and yet so little time to do everything. It'd take a miracle and a half to achieve what is basically the equivalent of a bucket list goal.

Veteran voice actors: how I want to convince them to do my audio novel

I was browsing on Facebook last night and today when I took notice that three voice actors, Crispin Freeman, Richard Epcar, and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, were going to be at Metrocon. Metrocon is located in Tampa, Florida, somewhat far away from where I live (though I reside in Florida). I perked up when I noticed that they were going to be at that convention, but my smile quickly turned into a frown when I realized the complications behind it. Tampa isn't really what you call nearby, based on where I live, and I also have to deal with schoolwork in the form of a mid-term test for an online class coming very soon. This test happens to be in the same schedule line as the convention (June 15 to 17). Even without those obstacles, I still have to deal with other complications, too.

First, apparently I have to hire these voice artists in order for them to actually do my work. Granted some of these voice artists did their work free of charge, but this is a very ambitious project and I was told by my peers that I would have to pay them for their work. Second, I intended to meet these voice artists at these conventions and talk to them about my novel so they could get a feel for it and talk about the characters they would voice. I'm very shy about it because these are extremely new people to me, and not only am I nervous about wanting to talk to them, but I'm afraid that they would say no to this project. That would be upsetting to me because they are voicing characters that are important to the themes of the novel, and how they are based on the voice actors I intended. If even one voice actor that I viewed as important turned my project down, that's it, it's shot to hell and I'd have to cancel the entire thing. It doesn't help that I'm not even finished with the novel yet; I'm only halfway through it. What if they took offense to some of the characters or ideas that I had in my novel? How are they going to react if I told them they were going to take part in this project? So many questions, and yet so many fears behind them. So many opportunities, and yet so many obstacles to overcome.

I feel a sense of coldness inside me just thinking about this issue. What am I going to say? What am I going to do? It's overwhelming that I have to figure out how to get around this dilemma. I want to work with them, but what if they don't want to work with me? I don't know what to do about it, either...

The digital medium and the future of books

I've started progress on another section of chapter three. While the book spans seven chapters, there are sections that segment each chapter as a means of keeping in line with a story line in a chapter. Segmented chapters is a concept I wanted to introduce in novels, rather than one big chapter.

Speaking of novels, I sometimes see people freaking out about how books are becoming obsolete because of the digital age, never mind the fact that libraries are still a requirement in schools even if the sources there are somewhat dated. It's not making books obsolete, but rather, it's adding a new dimension to reading. In the old days, it was a hassle to carry books because you had to take into account issues like watching your step or your stuff. Contrast that to having a Kindle or a Nook, where you can have an entire library or book collection at the palm of your hands. Again, books aren't going away because of handheld computers, it's bringing them closer to a wider audience.

Additionally, it's bringing writing books to a whole new dimension, now that people can write and produce manuscripts electronically. Amazon.com has a self-publishing feature for aspiring authors, and they even have a how-to guide for newbies. Not only is this good business wise, but it's also good for the environment since no paper is being used. Same thing with manga, or for that matter any other book based medium.  

I for one am grateful for this new digital age. Now we can read books without having to lug them around, and now we won't have to play the pick five books game ever again. If only people would just stop being technophobic towards ideas that can change the world.

Chapter section progress, and meet more characters!

Great news, I'm halfway through the side story section for the third chapter. This section looks at Miyu Kusanagi and B.W.'s side of the secret night mission that Kirk and Tigercat partook in their Armored Cores, and how they are forced to split up after the route goes two ways. While the animator hero and his sidekick are delayed by a fight between a red and black colored AC and it's mysterious pilot, Miyu and B.W. find a Germanian run training exercise involving a prototype laser blade weapon called the Moonlight, and the two also encounter new characters in the process.

Speaking of new characters, some of these characters are exclusive to the other animated worlds within the DVDs that our heroes enter. This means that they don't travel outside of their worlds. This first DVD that they encounter is called 'Ordinance Quail', based on the anime series Code Geass (I always pronounced that word as geese, so sue me if I got it wrong). Basically, the premise of the DVD is that a small resistance group is fighting a large empire with plans of global conquest, starting with a small region of the world and slowly building up to the entire world. In Code Geass, this small region was Japan, but in Ordinance Quail, it's Western Europe. Both the resistance and the empire, called the Germanian Empire (based on the Brittanian Empire in CG) fight their battles in robots called Knightmare Frames, which would become the IllusionCores in my novel's Ordinance Quail. The goal of the resistance is to liberate a part of Western Europe, renamed by the Germanians Area Eighty Eight, and their people, now labeled Eighty-Eights. While the resistance's leader has good intentions, he has his own secret agenda, though this is not made aware by everyone until later on. Enough of that, though, let's meet the first of these DVD characters.

(WARNING: Wall of Text is approaching fast! Strap yourself in, it's going to be LONG)

Kevin Redbeacon - The leader of the resistance group known as the Dark Knights. He was sent away as a political hostage, and now seeks to rescue the people of Western Europe from the Germanian Empire. Though, does he have a secret plan that even the resistance does not know about? He goes under the guise of Oblivion, though this isn't fully shown in the novel. He has a power called Quail, based on CG's Geass, which grants fully obedient mind control to those that obey his command. Obviously he's based on Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass, but the name here is based on Kevin Hatcher, surname of Johnny Yong Bosch, voice artist of Lelouch and a variety of other characters in anime, games and even western animation. JYB also has his own band called Eyeshine, and he was also a cast member in Saban's Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. He was the second black ranger, Adam Park, in the first season of the series.

Kiva Redbeacon - Sister of Kevin, she doesn't partake in fights but serves as support for the resistance and the people of Western Europe. Kiva is seen in a wheelchair because of an assassination attempt that happened a long time ago, and she is unable to see due to a blindness effect place upon her by her father. Kiva cares deeply for her brother. This character is based on Nunnally Lamperouge from Code Geass, but the name comes from a slight change in spelling of one of voice artist Rebecca Forstadt's surnames, Riva West.

Samuel - Owner of an apartment in a city located somewhere near Germany. Is taken captive when Germanian soldiers capture and search the apartment for Kiva, but is rescued by Kirk and Tigercat. Based off of Sam Riegel, or Samuel Brent Oscar Riegel, voice artist and former a capella group member at the University of Virginia.

C.H. - The first lieutenant of Kevin Redbeacon, she's a strange girl that made a contract with Kevin to fulfill her secret wish (though I don't plan on going deep into the details of the DVD characters). She possesses immortality, able to survive even beheading and impalement. C.H. granted the power of the Quail to Kevin, and also has abilities in psionics, too. She somehow knows that Kirk is an animator, and even acknowledges her own animator, despite C.H. only existing in the animated world that she lives in. Inspiration comes from C.C. (pronounced see-too in both the Japanese and English releases), but more based on voice artist, singer and pianist Kate Higgins. The name C.H. comes from Kate's full name, Catherine Higgins.

Karen Strassfield - The second lieutenant of Kevin Redbeacon, Karen serves as the brains of the resistance.  She's a lot more energetic compared to C.H., and is also very strong willed. Karen also leads a double life as news reporter Kirsty Pape. Though she hates the Germanian Empire, she will help any rebellious Germans resisting the imperial rule. She develops a love interest with Kevin, but also has a fascination with Kirk because of his actions against the Germanian soldiers and the fact that he's an animator. The inspiration for this character comes from Kallen Stadfield/Kozuki, but also is based on voice actor and guest screen actor Karen Strassman, who also goes by the name Kirsty Pape.

Michael Germania - The leader of the Germanian Empire. He seeks to conquer the world because of how he hated deceit and lying, but is also a strong supporter of Social Darwinism (basically pro-inequality). Michael seeks to destroy the un-collective consciousness of humanity as his means to unite the world. He has instilled his children into important positions, and views them as nothing but tools, though he still cares for some of his children. Michael also doesn't believe in war, and prefers bargaining and negotiations to full-on fighting. Still, he is not to be trifled with, and is the main target of the resistance. Michael Germania is based on Charles Britannia, another Code Geass character, but his first name comes from Michael McConnohie, who provides the voice of Charles.

Anna Germania - The first daughter of Michael Germania's family, she is the Chief General of the Germanian Military and one of the four special elite IllusionCore pilots. Cold and loyal, she frowns down on those who oppose the Germanian Empire, but she also values her soldiers on the front lines. Anna is protective of her sister Georgette to the point that it's almost her weakness. She seeks to bring an end to the fighting near Germany and capture Oblivion, though she is unaware that he is Kevin Germania, her own brother. Like the other characters here, Anna is also based on a Code Geass character, Cornelia Brittania, but also takes inspiration on a real life American English voice actor. Anna's name comes from Anna Top, one of Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's pen names.

Georgette Germania - The second daughter of Michael Germania's family, Georgette is the second of special elite IllusionCore pilots. Georgette is not as aggressive as Anna, and as a result is more in line with Michael's peaceful methods. This is further displayed when she is equally peaceful with those that aren't Germanian as she is with those who are. Georgette is aware of Kevin's identity as Oblivion, and is also aware of Kiva being involved with the resistance, too. The character of Georgette is drawn from Euphimia Britannia, but the name comes from Georgette Rose, Michelle Ruff's pen name and the name of Michelle's mother.

McDougal Gottfried - The third special elite IllusionCore pilot, McDougal is first seen overseeing the training exercise involving the prototype laser blade Moonlight. He joined the Germanian Empire as a means of getting revenge on Oblivion, though he is unaware that Kevin is Oblivion. McDougal went insane after events that happened prior to the events of Kirk and his friends discovering the world of Ordinance Quail. He displays an extreme sense of loyalty. McDougal draws inspiration from Jeremiah Gottwald, but his first name comes from the middle name of voice artist and lecturer Crispin Freeman.

Suzuki Roberts - The fourth and last special elite IllusionCore pilot for the Germanian Empire, Suzuki is somewhat of a mixture of Georgette, McDougal and Anna, minus Anna's aggression towards any opposition to the empire and McDougal's pure loyalty. He is loyal to those above him, but is willing to betray them if needed. Suzuki is haunted by the killing of his father over a heated argument, and has learned to take responsibility for his actions. He is quite an able pilot, and is also a great athlete, making him deadly in an IllusionCore, and out. Suzuki is based off of Suzaku Kururugi, but his name comes from both the Japanese recreational motor vehicle company and the last name of Yuri Lowenthal's pen name, Sean Roberts.

C.R. - The brother of Michael Germania, he serves as the Emperor's right hand man. C.R. joined the Emperor on his conquest of the world and to unite the world under one consciousness. Both he and Michael have been supporting each other since their childhood days, but does C.R. have a secret of his own that goes against their oath? C.R. is also a Code Geass/Voice Artist reference; he is based on V.V. (pronounced vee-too), but the initials spell out V.V.'s voice artist, Cindy Robinson. Cindy Robinson, asides from being a voice actor, also has a history of being a stage performer, and is the new official voice of Betty Boop.

Whew! What a wall of text. I'd better get a lot of page views for this. So that's the new lineup of characters for this chapter. Below are the characters I haven't covered yet, so speculation away!

This blog has a Facebook page now!

Hey, everybody! I've made a Facebook page for my blog and novels. If you have a Facebook account and are interested in other means of keeping up with my blog and novel developments, go here:

http://www.facebook.com/ProjectRenesis

It's not much right now, but as time goes on, I might include artwork for some of the characters and the gear that they use. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know.
