>I did not watch nearly so much. I only found... The French one, I think...
The link to what I watched, in English and everything, was this [www.youtube.com].
>Oh, weird. Then again, we've already talked about the odd lack of high-quality dubbing...
I do somewhat remember talking about it, but I've forgot everything we had concluded with.
>I finished the Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright game last night, and one thing that bugged me throughout is the bad dubbing for the Phoenix Wright side. The Layton lot (main characters and new supporting ones) were all brilliant but nearly every one of the Wright-plot ones were bad. Pretty odd considering that the teams clearly worked closely enough together to make a coherent game!
It's pretty rare that I am bugged by a bad dub. The Norwegian dub of Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time was unplayable due to the super-nasal voice it gave the Fongoids (a race of very tech-shy peace-seeking creatures). It could also be a part of the reason why I can't take Nickelodeon teen sitcoms seriously, as the same set of ~10 voices are repeated throughout about 6 shows. Granted, most of these sitcoms had the same actors in the US main roles anyway.
>(Doesn't help that the English translation of the first Phoenix Wright game decided to claim that the obviously-Japan area they live in is actually the US, which has got increasingly weird, as exaggerated by this comic: [Awkward Zombie])
A fun (but very short) read. I remember hearing stories about the Phoenix Wright translation crew finding themselves in increasing problems, such as having to rewrite a Japanese WWII pilot veteran into an American WWII pilot veteran.
>Perhaps you need more creative hobbies? I like your writing, but there's lots more and it all tends to be pretty time-consuming. Knitting's one that's gaining more nerd interest lately, and I quite like the HAMA bead things (that you iron flat, you can use them to make pixel art pretty well).
I have serious problems with patience and fatigue that prevents me from doing most things that lasts more than about 1 1/2 hours, and I have personal and pretty obscure reasons for not getting into knitting. But I feel that I cannot say no to all of your suggestions (Would be pretty rude on my part), and had to think overnight about what more to say to your suggestions: I do remember the HAMA beads clearly, and could be a way to spend an hour or so, but I can't remember coming across bead plates(?) that allowed for finished beads of more than about 100x100 dots, which'd limit pixel art possibilities.
>Ooh...
I think that in order to get in, you need to be able to contribute a fair bit to FuD articles. I can, off the top of my head, imagine that you could write a post about what DeviantArt and Tumblr artists have been up to for the past half-year, like some kind of extended Drawfilly post.
While I have been told awesome information by the others, I have also uncovered info that I would personally prefer never to have known about, since I so clearly know that I know about things that I was never supposed to know.
>Ha, sounds pretty la-la-world. I guess that's to be expected
I've never thought about that saying before in regards to Lalaloopsy, but that was a pleasant and fairly correct surprise.
>You'd think it'd be more profitable to screen it early and hope that other countries see the success and buy it later rather than just delaying it... Maybe that's a gamble they avoid though, in case it isn't a hit.
I know practically nothing about Southern European cartoon companies, but I know that American cartoons bank everything on making it big in the US as a beginning, and only shopping it to Europe between six and twelve months later, and that's assuming that the cartoon doesn't flop. My experiences with BRB may be the very first time I've come across cartoons that give equal premiere priority to all Western (and Asian!) markets.

>Oh, boo.
>I do have access to Sky, but I tend to check things like that online first for convenience's sake.
Since I actually did watch an 11-minute episode of it yesterday daytime, I can say that it was a human, in singular, in the crew. He seems to around age 15, and while he rarely actually does any rescue manouvres, he does give most of the commands that the pups follow, both before and in the midst of it, and does take note when something odd is going on. The actual pups are very active, as in both being happy, task-focused, and easy to distress when something strange is going on.
I can also go good for that Raichu's link to the US Nick Jr. site works from a Norwegian location.

>She does speak with a fair amount of volume in the first trailer, and she smiles just as heartily as the rest of them. So more than likely, it's a fear of failure, not any social pressure. Also, we still haven't seen any Witchy Fillies in the trailers besides her, have we? Loneliness might come into play there.
Indeed she is the sole confirmed Witchy I've seen in the trailers. A fear of failure adds up with what I've seen in the trailers, although it would be a slight difference from the toys, where she's virtually given up on achieving magic skills.
>I think I've done it on smaller scale before, for do-overs, too. It's called retopologising, basically you have the same volumes and shapes but different edgeflow. Think of it as the difference between an L-shaped block in Tetris and straight block that's bent in the middle.
Makes partial sense. I can at least imagine the block difference pretty well!
>On a related note, made a minor tweak to the pony model that might be relevant to Filly: ponies don't have knees, Fillys don't have heels. I couldn't see the knee joint in a profile reference for ponies, which ended up carrying over. (...). Going by the pictures posted here, I noticed Fillys standing on two legs didn't have very pronounced heels. The legs look pretty straight in that pose, no little bony protrusions like ponies have. Maybe the models reflect that, too?
Looking at my images of Fillys standing on both two and four, I notice that their heel is near-nonexistent and can only be seen when looking for very small curves. Moreover, the tiny heels I did find, seemed to be bent the other way.
<An unusually visible case of it should be in this picture.
His upper body isn't a good reference due to some Paint edits I did, but the lowest set of purple lines should show a small bending around his fetlock area.
>and the whole briefing every time can be a bit annoying.
I can imagine that the briefings can get fairly repetitive after a while, even after having watched one ep (Pups Save A Ghost, I think it was?).
>But, again, it is very kiddish in nature. If you can get past that, it's pretty good.
I have gone as deeply into American preschool cartoons as seemingly very few men (or women) has ever ventured before, and moreover have gotten so used to them that most grown-up fiction, and increasingly some non-fiction genres, are frustrating me with their lack of happiness and respect between people.
>Incidentally, the trash pup Rocky is an undefined mixed-breed with a fear of water. Said fear of water makes him aversive to taking baths.
>They literally have the trash truck be driven by a dirty bastard. Well played, Nick Jr., well played.
Wow. If the pup had been older than a pup, then it'd be a full-blown Wu-Tang Clan reference (Hint: Ol' Dirty Bastard). But even without it, it goes one step above Lalaloopsy's references to Flashdance and spaghetti trees.
