Frieren 2, episode 3


Not the usual hot-springs episode. Or the usual first-date episode. As usual for Frieren, it’s the journey that matters.

I would not have guessed that Himmel had the same voice actor as Bakugo and Accelerator. I learned this after viewing a short clip from the Japanese-dubbed Chinese animation series “The Last Summoner” and finding the voices of hero and heroine kinda familiar.

It’s a shouty, tropey Boy-Meets-Goddess show where she spends most of her time as a bratty shoulder chibi, because full-figured-full-power form is too expensive to maintain, and any power use at all requires stuffing her face. Y’know, a Completely Original Story™.

The punchline is that her voice actress is Frieren.

(Anime News Network has no record of this show, so off to MyAnimeList; licensed by Crunchyroll, by the way, who lists it as two seasons, but it’s just Chinese vs Japanese audio)

Unrelated,

Chaney’s latest series “Accidental Astronaut” is called that because…

…“Flash Gordon” was taken.

Z Image Base knows ray-guns and retro, but the name “Flash” is rather heavily trained on the wrong character. It does get some things right, though:

The creator of a large collection of excellent 3D models for gaming miniatures just announced on his Patreon that he’s got severe IDS (ICE Derangement Syndrome), and has invited people who disagree with him to stop supporting him financially.

His proposal is acceptable.
