Scary Laugh Contest: Jinnai vs Naga the White Serpant! Go!

[ickaimp]

This is the theme song for the day:

I'd like a new set of lungs kthx. And my sense of balance back. And keeping my guts on the inside. And maybe some vodka. Why is it whenever I get sick, I want alcohol? blargh. /whinging

And, of course, what is Bugthumping without Jinnai and the Bugrom Live! -?
If no one here remembers El Hazard, I'm gonna feel SO old.
... years before I got into yaoi, I thought Jinnai had -such- a crush on Makoto. He's got this gorgeous Insect Queen who wants to mate with him, and he'd rather go chase the cute boy. ye-ah

*goes back to sleep*

I remember the anime, but never saw it - though now I want to! And dang, that laugh is just as scary as Naga's!!!

;__; El Hazaaaaaaaaaard!!!!!!! (and Jinnai and the Bugrom Live!! XDDD)

...If you feel old, can I feel old with you too?

El Hazard~!
Never got to watch the anime but I did read most of the manga when it first came out.

. . . *is feeling my age again*

Ummm, I know of El Hazard but have never seen any.

What is Jinnai on at the end and where can I get some?

-the scary part is that it's hard to figure out if that's the American or the Japanese VA doing the laugh... they both did it so well.

Kinda leaning towards Naga (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD1567FdDKg) being slightly scarier though.
The Japanese VA (slight slip of a woman she is) does SUCH a better job than the American one. The Dub voice it too shrill.

Talked to a couple teenagers this weekend about anime and they were commenting about how they had seen some of these series when they were like -five-.
... I bit my tongue on how I had been ninteen when they first came out...

Yes, please.

Was just realising that I had half of this series, back when it was VHS only, and you had to decide if you wanted dubs or subs. ;_;

[sapphirus.livejournal.com]

D: Omg, the age of VHSs. ♥

.__. Man... I actually -liked- dubs in the day. Now I can't stand them at all. ;__;

Jinnai's laugh is VERY Scary. XD Wouldn't mind catching up on it again too.

... why does Lina look like she's ready to blow something up?

*laughs*

Tenchi Muyo was one of the three major portal series that got people into Anime back when I got interested... the other two being Ranma and Eva, I believe.

Both laughs are scary (I' love that kind of laugh. I drove my friends nuts by the occasianal mad laughter) but they are a bit different. Naga is more of a maniacal, self important laugh and Jinnai is more of a truly mad laugh, like he's a few marbles short. I'm leaning towards Jinnai. My first impression of his laugh was more of a 0_o than Naga's.

To be fair, dubs were a little better then. Well, some; Slayers dub didn't suck, from what I recall.

[kasuchi]

I remember El Hazard. I wasn't into it, but I remember encountering it, mostly in crossover fic.

NAGA...I miss Slayers.

Megs is being a Great Big MEANIE and trying to tempt back over to the Slayers side of the fandom with canon video of a VERY smug Zelgadiss cross dressing as a Dominatrix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lenEFlU9qU4).

blast it, it's working. *whimpers*

[sapphirus.livejournal.com]

They were! Omg... I don't know what happened between those days and this past decade, but... ;_; it's so difficult to find something I'm not hissfitting over!

[kasuchi]

HAHAHA. Best video ever! I can't remember why they did that, though. Man it's been a while.

[kasuchi]

The last truly good dub was...Furuba? FLCL? Cowboy Bebop? Somewhere around 2002 the dubs hit the peak of their quality, I think, and now they're kind of...meh. Or awful. It's what happens when you capitalize on popularity.

Okay three things.

1: Never seen El hazard. Seems vaugly familier, but i'm not not sure. Looks hilaruos tho.

2: wherewherewherewhere can i watch this?

3: All three vids are snicker and giggle worthy. Slightly disturbing, but what isn't in anime?
