Ugh, wow i messed that up good, i'm not even sure how i made that post, must be too tired and not functioning properly this early in the morning.

What i meant to say was that Pixar spent a good 15 years working purely on technology and SFX in other movies, building up that experience and tech base, so that when they finally branched out on their own into Toy Story (which was indeed their first feature film) they already had the technology in place and that, combined with an understanding that voice acting requires acting and a partnership with Disney (who, face it, were\are the masters of animated features) meant they got off to a good start.

Dreamworks, on the other hand, seems to have missed out on that acting part, most probably because they didn't have that 15 year tech development period, which meant they focused on developing their tech, and the acting suffered as a result.

Fortunately, Dreamworks seem to have caught up with the whole acting thing, with Kung-Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and, of course, Shrek, although ironically it took them a few years to work out that the reason Shrek was so good is because it had good actors, since Shark Tale was released right afterwards and, frankly, sucked.

The best part about Umineko, for me, was Ronove. Voiced by Sugita Tomokazu (Kyon!), seeing him pull off a butler-role was so deliciously narmful, it was probably the only reason I finished the show.
Oh right, and Battler is Ono Daisuke (Koizumi/hundreds of other roles)

Edit: Ono Daisuke is really just narm exemplified. (~2:40 onward)

Oh man, that guy is so awesome.

I also like Genji (Who I refer to as Genie).

I agree totally. And besides, I'm not a loli fan. Even though she's weird, I like Yoko better.

So, ACen is comming up, and I just realized that my friends are going this year, so there's a fair likelyhood that I'll tag along too. If I do, I have questions for yous guys:

1) I need costume ideas.. I was briefly pondering Rincewind from Discworld, Pickle Inspector or John Egbert from MSPaint Adventures, a Fisherdorf, or possibly Protoman. On a scale of 1 to I-Dont-Get-It, where would those fall? Also, other ideas?

2) Any of you going to ACen, such that I might run into one of you mugs if I go? It'd be kinda cool.
