I Won't Wear A Thong


I'm not sure I've ever written a post heading like that...and I doubt I ever will again.

I, My, Me, Strawberry Eggs is a pretty screwball comedy as it is, but someone has finally uploaded the easter eggs (on the DVDs) that featured some interesting outtakes.

The first clip actually has a cute story behind it: apparently one of the dubbing producers was worried that Crispin Freeman would sound too much like the rather frightening Alucard (from Hellsing fame) for the more mild-mannered Hibiki.

Deciding to have a little fun with that idea (and give said producer a heart attack), Crispin recorded the following:


In the next clip there isn't supposed to be any audio when the guys are talking; it's revealed later that they're talking about one of them marrying someone they don't know when they actually love another woman. But this is, apparently, what VAs do when they're bored:


There were two others, but they don't make much sense if you haven't seen the show. All this does is make me more curious to hear the infamous X-rated contest between Crispin Freeman and Steve Blum.

Outtakes, Anyone?


I'm taking a brief respite from my Broadway Gems series until I can find enough clips of good quality on YouTube to discuss the remaining shows. So, in the meantime, this post will feature another topic of interest.

I've always been fascinated by outtakes. Television, live theatre, animation--the spontaneity and humor behind such moments tend to remind us of our humanity in a lighthearted manner. It's just nice to see actors have some fun with their roles, bringing a certain insouciant element to their work where other professions don't always have the luxury. The ability to have fun and laugh at yourself is crucial to every performer's well-being, and I'm always grateful when the audience is allowed a glimpse into these moments.

YouTube has a number of such outtakes from various animes. You don't have to see the show to understand the outtakes; some of the scenes I've listed here are from shows I've barely heard of.
