Description:

Am I not Pretty Enough? - Kasey Chambers This amv was made pretty much on a whim out of exhaustion and boredom. It took a surprisingly long amount of time to get done considering I didn't put a whole lot of effort into it. O.o Still, hope you guys enjoy it despite that. ^_^ *strangles WMM* I'm having a hard time deciding if the singer's voice irritates me or not. :/ Anyway, if you're wondering why Ed's looking at his automail for the majority of the "Am I not pretty enough" lines that's pretty much because I've read a wide variety of fics that involve Ed being self-conscious and thinking his automail is ugly and I'd never really seen that done in an amv, so this is my, however vague, attempt to bring that closer to the surface of the amv world I guess. *shrugs* Warnings: Yaoi, possible spoilers. That's pretty much it, as always. (Bleh, AMV warnings are so boring. XD) w00t! It got an honour!!! # 88 - Most discussed today! :D How come the vids I always expect the least to get honours are the ones that get honours? XD

Oh. Well, I don't know if I noticed, cause I only watched the second half in Jap, so... XD Lol, yeah, I know. ^_^ I think a lot of people expect more out of the Eng VAs then they do out of the Jap VAs without even realising it, and then get disappointed when they don't meet that standard. So it's not just you, don't worry. ^_^

Lol, I don't know-- I don't pretend to understand the logistics behind anime editing. XD That early in the series, we're old enough to see a naked girl surrounded by smoke, but not old enough to see two guys "accidentally" kiss. XD

Oh yes, because early in the series we can't POSSIBLY be tough enough ;D They changed at least the first 2 songs, which annoyed me. Oh WOW. Good point. Goo~d point. I guess I just expected since we had all the sounds, there wasn't an excuse - "You go into voicing over Japanese, learn how to say the words" was always my philosophy, but I never minded when the Japanese glossed over English, cause I suck like that. Someone slap me X_X

For the pronounciation I don't care much either way. English actors speak english and have their entire lives most likely, so you can't expect them to get the pronounciation of Japanese words exactly right. Just like I wouldn't expect the Japanese voice actors of FMA to suddenly start pronouncing Ed or Al's or any of the homunculis' names correctly. *shrugs*

Lol, I guess they were trying to protect all our innocent eyes from seeing it that early on in the show. Later on it's acceptable however. O.o XD Mm, yeah, I noticed they changed one of the theme songs (or maybe more, I don't know). I don't know why they did THAT either. Guess they're trying to appeal to the American/Canadian anime fans. They forgot though, that it's the Japanese aspects of these shows that DO appeal to us more than anything. XD (Ran outta room)

Yeah, what's the point of editing out the kiss anyway? ESPECIALLY since they use it later. Another thing that bugged me a little were the English theme songs, and how they stressed the names wrong. Nah-ROO-toe instead of NAR-toe (yes I know, the u is there but it's whispered), He-NAH-ta instead of HEE-nata, ect. But that's to be expected I guess ^^

Mm, yeah, well I never said they were terrible. I just think that the Jap VAs did a better job. ^_^ Yeah, they edited out Sasuke and Naruto's kiss (which makes NO sense to me considering they show it later on in one of the opening themes I believe, or when Sasuke's having some kind of flashback or something), and the blood coming out of peoples' noses whenever Naruto uses his sexy jutsu. For the most part they seem to have kept most things unedited, which is a good thing. ^_^

The English Naruto's not TERRIBLE, but they cut a scene from ep. 3 and the Japanese did a better job acting and wording I think (from what I get from the subtitles).
