#Seriously there need to be a trend of 'Everything Goes with SONO CHI NO SADAME'

(Alright. Back to being a "nerd x weeb".

In February, after watching Puss in Boots 2, I said that was my favourite anime movie.

on my b-day In August, after watching Mutant Mayhem, I said that was now my favourite anime movie. (I still can't get over with how they got away with referencing a real anime)

But after rewatching the RotTMNT movie, I realised I had actually already found my favourite anime movie a year ago.

Yea. This is my favourite anime movie. (until it is somehow dethroned, that is)

[A weeb screeching nonsense below]

So. Confession: Back in August of last year, I actually watched the movie first in the Japanese dub. And right after that, I bugged my friends online about it blasted SONO CHI NO SADAME the rest of the entire day.

And last week (this week?), I watched it again, but on a computer + played SONO CHI NO SADAME during the (climax of the) movie. Basically doubled the weeb energy.

(It makes it look very much like the final battle of Battle Tendency)

And also: Speaking of JoJo, I...uh...also watched the dub credits this time like a hopeless weeb, and...okay this is a bit crazy...

→ They got Muhammad Avdol's VA to voice Raphael (Kenta Miyake 三宅健太) [That's also All Might's VA. I thought Raph's voice was Hijikata Toshirou's at first listen]

→ They got Jonathan Joestar's VA to voice Donatello (Kazuyuki Okitsu 興津和幸) [Very surprising to me, but I could hear it in some lines]

→ And they got Okuyasu Nijimura's VA to voice Splinter (Wataru Takagi 高木渉) [That was very obvious to me, because he used the Daffy voice]

Leonardo is voiced by Jun Fukuyama 福山潤, who is a super famous VA in the industry, but I don't think he has voiced any JoJo so far. I also could not realise his voice, because all the roles I know him from have..."irregular voices" (e.g. Panda from Shirokuma Café who has a "cutesy" voice; Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom who has a...weird voice; Joker from P5 who doesn't speak at all) (sorry I haven't watched 7DS so I don't know how King sounds like)

There may be other JoJo cast in the movie, but somehow the credit scene only shows the VA for the protagonists.)

[This scene from Battle Tendency

Literal end battle spoiler so yeah]

[Appendix: If you are also a JoJo fan interested, try finding out the Japanese dub cast for Spiderverse (both movies). You'll be surprised by the amount of JoJo VA (and famous VA tbh) in the cast.

For one, Miles' voice is Giorno's. Sadly the Netflix version of Into the Spiderverse does not have the Japanese dub (in my region at least)

seriously don't become familiarised with jojo or you'll be like me associating everything with jojo]
