C&C - Blood+ - "Phantom of the School" [5/5]

[Space Cadet]

I wonder if this Phantom is hiding out in the school basement, playing an organ at random times during the day.

[Captain Highwind]

Or maybe its the Floating Pervert! [/buso renkin reference]

[Kyuss]

I honestly don't care if it's undead. I just want Saya to go on a blood lusting killing spree.

Maybe then I wouldn't fall asleep half way through:sad:

[Kyuss]

Sam,

You never fall asleep. you just have...highly charged salacious dreams of Crispin Freeman while you're watching this show.

That is just one evil god's observations and one that might be flawed as well.

[Kitschensyngk]

I wonder if this Phantom is hiding out in the school basement, playing an organ at random times during the day.

You just now reminded me of a play we did in elementary school. Apparently some of the kids believed there was a ghost who haunted the music room playing the piano. Turned out to be the janitor.

Why would they trust a high-school kid with a credit card?

Min does a great Scheris impression. :p

Haji's the new school heartthrob.

Why do you need to carry around a Vietnamese phrase book when everyone on the show speaks English regardless of ethnic origin?

"The PHAAAAAAAAAAANTOM of the boarding school is nowwww...eyeing your chest..."

Anyone got any blue roses?...Oh, there's one! We're in luck!

[Captain Highwind]

A paid hotel bill and a free-to-use cash card? Awesome! Whatcha complainin' about boy? :\

Juniper Lee! :anime:

[Classic Speedy]

Haha, I knew Min sounded familiar- Lara Jill Miller also played Karen Onodera in Please Twins. She has a characteristic voice, and I think it fits well.

This episode reminds me of Strawberry Panic's beginning- a new girl at a fancy private school getting adjusted to all the prim and proper atmosphere. Of course it seems there's far less yuri here. ;)

[Ishtar]

Seriously. I'd like a little more action.

Juniper Lee! :anime:
Who's the VA that does Min's voice anyway? I know she also did Carrie in digimon but I don't remember her name?...

So wait they think he's the phantom...well I guess they're half right. :D

[Captain Highwind]

Who's the VA that does Min's voice anyway?

Lara Jill Miller

Crazy Bishi's being hilarious again. ^^

[Kyuss]

well this episode already improves itself by the VA acting of someone OTHER than Freeman and Wulgrun(sp). That it happens to be the mighty Lara Jill Miller helps tremendously. She's a great VA.

Is she a reacurring character or is she only showing up for this ep?

[Kyuss]

Is she a reacurring character or is she only showing up for this ep?
Does it really matter? It's Lara Jill Miller. To me that's like seeing Jessica Alba in a commerical for soap. The material matters less to me than her.

Yes even us, evil gods made of worms have lusts/urges.

Well my bloodlust wasn't slaked but this episode had two things Bleach didn't: Decent fighting and better VAs. Well okay maybe not the second one, but certainly the fight with the "Phantom" was better than listening to Renji complain.

[v1cious]

Is she a reacurring character or is she only showing up for this ep?

only for this arc.

[Grenzer]

What was really surprising was that Jennifer Darling (Ayeka from Tenchi Muyo!) was voicing a character in this episode. They manage to get one of most elusive of all dub VAs to play a role in this series, but Crispin Freeman is still voicing 50% of the male characters. They made some very strange casting decisions with this show.

[Kyuss]

Grenzer,

That is true. It would be nice to not over-use Freeman in this show. I'm not against him, but over usage can lead serious impediments.

[Hyper Shadow X]

Pretty good eppy.

[Kyuss]

Hyper,

Indeed it was better than I expected. Of course the addition of Lara Jill Miller completely changed the complexity of this show for me.

[PickHut]

Kai and little boy (....) get screwed over once again. It's one thing to get ditched... but to do it after they go to another country? Wow.

I actually kinda liked this episode, though, I was really surprised that no one died a bloody death. The way everything was going, I expected at least some of the girls there to get killed while Saya was figuring things out. I was actually disappointed when nothing happened. Maybe next episode.

[Kyuss]

Pick,

Well compared to what Bleach gave us, there was a great deal more happening in this episode. That said, I can see your point about no deaths. We did, however, get an almost decent fight.

[sarita]

I miss Scheris. :(


A paid hotel bill and a free-to-use cash card? Awesome! Whatcha complainin' about boy? :\

No kidding. I'd be like: Spending Spree!

Kai shouldn't look a gift horse in its mouth. Just shut up and take the money, kid.

Min is so totally going to die. I think. Well, maybe.

I have no information to back that up...

I hope we get an actual fight next episode. I want to see some blood, dammit. This show is called Blood+, after all...

[Kyuss]

sarita,

Indeed, i too miss her and I also think you are correct that Min won't make it. Many of the speakers on this show that don't have the last name Freeman and/or Wulgrun(sp) are probably likely targets for death.

[bigdeath]

I miss Scheris. :(

wow, a girl that wants blood, AMAZING :eek:

now, if only haji wore a mask and threw a rose at that vampire (a more normal vampire this time too), we'd have an eppy of salor moon...we were at a school after all :p

I going to enjoy min's death :evil:

and has anyone else notice that the show has mention a Diva several times no, who is that? oh, the suspense is draining my blood (wheres the smile that is rolling his eyes, I miss him :crying: )

and dave's voice sounds more like that narrator for a show than a charactor's voice, anyone else get that feeling from him?

[Kyuss]

bigdeath,

Dave? Dave Wittenburg was voicing a character? I must have had the show on mute or something.

I know who Diva is but only because I read Wikipedia. That said, I'm not spoiling it.

I always enjoy the deaths of characters name min. (Such as waiting for the death of Min in Wheel of Time.)

[Duke]

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Phantom is the Chairman. I dunno why...


Why do you need to carry around a Vietnamese phrase book when everyone on the show speaks English regardless of ethnic origin?
Because the episode was originally in Japanese and had all those different languages and neither Sony nor Adult Swim felt like digitally painting/re-animating the scene?


Haha, I knew Min sounded familiar- Lara Jill Miller also played Karen Onodera in Please Twins. She has a characteristic voice, and I think it fits well.
You're forgetting the voice most anime fans first heard her as: Kari in Digimon.

[Kyuss]

Duke,

I was thinking more along the lines of Scr-y-ed for my anime encounter. As for her in Digimon, eh. *thinks Duke raises a good point that this show is pretty ethnically diverse* More so than other shows that might have such issues.

The Phantom is Frank Sinatra?

no, no, the blond guy that beat kia up is NAMED DAVE :sweat:

[Kyuss]

Ah! I apologize but *shrugs* Christopher Nissley isn't listed in Wikipedia, but so far he's not the worse VA I've heard doing a character he might not understand.

[v1cious]

and has anyone else notice that the show has mention a Diva several times no, who is that? oh, the suspense is draining my blood (wheres the smile that is rolling his eyes, I miss him :crying: )

a bit of a spoiler i can't get into yet.

[Kyuss]

vic1ious,

I don't think bigdeath needs to be spoiled like that. That said, decent of you to reveal it.

[v1cious]

well i put spoiler tags. i guess it is kind of tempting though.

[Kyuss]

vic1ous,

I'm not against tempting, or even temptation. I just figured it's not necessary. However that was my perspective for not putting out the spoiler. You are perfectly within your rights to do so, in my book. I, however, am not.

[Captain Highwind]

That's not all I noticed...

Anime sure love their flying masked weirdos...

Apparently I wasn't too far off from my first comment in this thread. :\

[Kyuss]

*prefers his flying masked weirdos to be superhuman if only to keep out the other riff-raff*

[XOMiss_Samantha]

I love how I fell asleep during this episode:sweat: . Maybe I can find another way to watch it or something. This thread actually makes the episode I missed sound slightly interesting.

[Kagetsu]

Juniper Lee! :anime: YaY. Now it has two favorite va's.

I haven't heard such eager girl talk since that book I had to read for school. what do they put in the water in Vietnam?

It hasn't been called Hanoi since the 70's.

The wing masks are just goofy. I think the fixed expressions of fox or no masks are much more creepy.

what, a fangirl sleeping through a chance to hear Crispin Freeman's voice :eek:

whats wrong with you :p

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Sleep. I cherish it greatly.

[bigdeath]

Sleep. I cherish it greatly.

what, you cherish sleep more than Crispin Freeman :eek:

[XOMiss_Samantha]

what, you cherish sleep more than Crispin Freeman :eek:

Never. The sleep was too strong, and threatened to make me watch Trinity Blood over and over again if I didn't get some rest.

[bigdeath]

so, the sleep overpowered you :sad: that sounds a little odd :anime:

[Fafhrd]

It hasn't been called Hanoi since the 70's.

No, it's always been Hanoi. You are thinking of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon.

[Dark Moridin]

bigdeath,
I always enjoy the deaths of characters name min. (Such as waiting for the death of Min in Wheel of Time.)

Ok, did I miss something? which Min's have died??? I know Blood + Min just got introduced, and WOT Min isn't dying anytime soon. What other Min's are there?

[Kyuss]

Dark,

None but I've had a yearning for WotC's Min to die. This Min might have to suffice.

*thinks Sam is lying to protect her good girl image* But then I'm not the god of lust or love. So it's not my portfolio/area of influence to cover.

Fafhrd is right. Hanoi has been and still is Hanoi, much like Moscow hasn't changed its name no matter who was in charge.

Kagetsu,

Indeed, having two stellar female VAs has sufficiently increased my enjoyment of this series.

Sam,
You did miss a good episode if you compare it to what Bleach gave or rather didn't give.

[Freedom Fighter]

There are two VAs for me that instantly make any cartoon/anime watchable (well, it used to be three, but I got tired of one). Colleen Clinkenbeard is one. Lara Jill Miller is the other. So imagine my surprise when, cleaning up my snack mess after 'Bleach' and preparing to head off to bed, I suddenly hear Mrs. Miller's voice. So, obviously, that got me sitting down to watch the rest of the episode.

And maybe it's just me, but if you look at Min's hairstyle just right... it kinda resembles Kari's of 'Digimon.' Wait... that hairstyle... teenager... in a girls' school / former convent? Aah, Kari's left TK and moved to another country!

*Sorry, shades of the Takari fandom coming out... *

Someone hinted it above... the way her character is playing out, it seems Min is destined to die. Heck, I was surprised she was still alive at the end of the episode.

Well... at least Blood+ has me coming back for one more week...

[Kyuss]

Freedom,

Who was your third? *is puzzled by the choice of Colleen* *can accept Kar/Takari fandom* I just happen to enjoy my women older, like Scheris.

[Freedom Fighter]

Three WAS Jennifer Hale, but I grew tired of her last year. Or, grew away from loving her, to be more appropriate... I adored her work for a whole decade - probably decided it was time to move on.

[Kyuss]

I like Jennifer but I do think she's a tad over-rated. That said, I adore Hyndon(sp) Welch(sp).

[XOMiss_Samantha]

I finally watched this episode a few minutes ago, and I didn't compleatly dislike it. The new roommate is cute, yet shes the typical 'talks to much girl with glasses'. She reminds me of Kyouko from FMP alot.
I think it's pretty obvious who the phantom is:sad: , but Haji and his league of fangirls is funny. I hate that teacher though, and what ever that thing is around her eye.
