Sounds! The new Kenshin sounds were found at Rae's Kenshin Sound Page. If I could figure out how to email her, I would. Especially since she has the clip of Okita, which is pretty rare to find.
This is probably a good place for me to ruminate on anime voices and music. My recommendation is, watch it in Japanese. usually, the acting is much better - the characters actually have emotion, and generally they sound about the right age. That is, being 15 doesn't mean you sound like you're 30,or you sound like you're 5. I've heard both, it's not pretty.
Anime music is dangerous. OPs and EDs get stuck in my head like you wouldn't believe! There are some good places to download samples of anime music, and a lot of places you can order soundtracks and all. Right now I'm stuck of Weiß music - those guys have gorgeous voices. Although hearing Seki Tomokazu singing "Living in the Pleasure World" is hilarious. ^_^
All those wonderful voices...enjoy the sound clips! I'll try to get more...and I'll put up some links to the wonderful places I found them. Some of them will have translations, and a lot of them should be recognizable.
Fushigi Yuugi
Hotohori
~ Beauty
"What's wrong, child?" - Hotohori
"Oneechan, are you Oniichan's wife?" - child
"I'm a man." - Hotohori
"No! You're too pretty!" - child
"Children are so honest..." - Hotohori
Chichiri
~ Itai!
"It hurts, no da!"
Nakago
Suzaku seishi are so cute...
Rurouni Kenshin Himura Kenshin
~ "Oro..."
Kenshin trying to catch his sakabato....
Okay, so this is actually Okita Souji, the Shinsengumi Ichiban Tai Kumicho. He's commenting that every time he sees Kenshin, the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu is more impressive.
Sagara Sanosuke
While rescuing Megumi, Yahiko pauses to chew on Sano's head....
Sano going to check out the new artist, Tsukioka Tsunan, who's actually his old Sekihou Tai buddy Katsuhiko. It's kind of funny in English, too. "Mister Tsukioka...Mister Tsunan Tsukioka!!" Anyway, Sano says "Tsukioka-san...Tsukioka-san yo! I know you can hear me, former Sekihou Tai member Tsukioka Katsuhiko!"
Oh God. Sagara-taicho saving Sano's life after being betrayed by Shindo Tatewaki.
Saitoh Hajime
~ Shinsegumi wa...The Shinsengumi is the Shinsengumi. A wolf is a wolf. And a hitokiri is a hitokiri...daro, Battousai?
You can raise a dog with food. You can raise a person with money. But no one is able to raise Mibu no Ookami.
~ Ahou!
Addressing our favorite tori-atami.
~ Creed
The motto of the Shinsengumi: Aku. Zoku. Zan.
~ Die
Saitoh, doing his usual work of mayhem and death.
~ I see
He sure says "Naruhodo" a lot, doesn't he?
I think this is more of Saitoh's speech while he's killing Akamatsu and the crooken politician who'd hired him.
While Shibumi offers Saitoh sake, Saitoh politely declines. Shibumi can't believe that Saitoh has no tolerance. Saitoh informs him that it is rather for a different reason. You see, he has a bad habit when he drinks sake: an uncontrollable urge to slay people. So since the start of the Meiji, he's cut back.
Shinomori Aoshi
~ "Sit and count your money..."
What will Kanryu do when Kenshin shows up? Aoshi tells him to sit around and count his money. The Oniwabanshuu are not Kanryu's to command.
~ Shi'ne.
And Aoshi's plans? To kill Hitokiri Battousai. ** If anyone has the file of Aoshi actually saying "Shi'ne." when he's fighting Kenshin, I would LOVE YOU FORVER if you could give it to me! Arigatoo gozaimasu!
Always cool, Aoshi takes a moment to taunt Kenshin during their first fight. What's wrong, Battousai?
Other Oniwabanshuu
~ SarabaFacing Kanryu's gatling gun, Hannya follows the other Oniwabanshuu members to jigoku. I'll include what of the dialogue I remember (some of Hannya's speech is not in this clip, tho).
Hannya: I'll take the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu to hell with me as a souvenir.
Sano: What are you doing?
Kenshin: Hannya! - Sano, protect Kaoru-dono and Yahiko!
Sano: Kenshin!
Aoshi: Hannya!
Hannya: Okashira, saraba!
~ Oi!
Misao calling Kenshin names (like red-headed law-breaker, crossdresser, and telling him he has bad taste in kimonos) to get him to tell her about Aoshi-tachi. Kenshin responds that he has a name, Himura Kenshin, and he would like her to use that.
Kanryu
~ Onore...
"Damn you, Shinomori Aoshi!"
Seta Sojiro
~ Ano tokiAno toki...dare mo boku tasukete kura nakatta.
~ Tasukete
Chibi Sojiro in the rain, escaping his awful family, screaming for help from anybody.
Weiß Kreuz Fujimiya Aya
Just what it says. Aya's just seen Takatori Reiji and wants him to die. I love this clip. Now all I need is Aburatsubo going "Takeo-kun! Kawaii yo...tot-te-mo!"
Gundam Wing Zechs Merquise
~ Shizuka
"It's so peaceful..."
Tenkuu no Escaflowne Allen Crusade Schezar VIII
~ Fight!
This one is mostly music. If memory serves, this is Allen and Van fighting in their melefs. Allen tells Van he doesn't attack aggressively enough.
Dilandau Albatou
These wav's were made by hanako, the webmistress of Alseid . For more clips, please visit that site!
~ Nani o?
Dilandau asks just what the hell he's doing.
~ Burn
Dilandau in his element, which is apparently fire. He's telling things to burn. Gosh, that never happens.
~ Serena?
Silly Allen, thinking Dilandau's his sister. No wonder Dilandau's confused.
~ Jajuka
Dilandau freaks out and calls for Jajuka. I love Jajuka, he's so cool...
