Thinking about that "Western names for MDZS characters" post and, yeah, let's not do that. But it reminded me of a story:
Back in the early 2000s, a rumor was floating around the anime internet that there was going to be a US-made live-action movie version of Neon Genesis Evangelion. All of us fans were, naturally, appalled. But a game developed among us where we created "fan" casts of plausible but awful actors and then tried to come up with horrible Westernized character names. Because that was what happened back then. And we knew whoever was trying to make this rumored movie would fuck it up so bad. We had a good, cynical laugh about it.
I don't remember many of the names we came up with, but I do remember someone betting on "Sean Icarus" for Shinji Ikari.
Thank fuck it was just a rumor.
Nowadays they might keep the characters' names the same, but they'd all be played by Scarlett Johansson.
The upcoming post is inspired by my little self. I used to write such good shit man. Trust me I am not bluffing I was just shocked. So no matter how tight my teen days are let’s keep writing.
