Decided to re-watch #SwordArtOnline season 1.
The first 20 or so minutes are just fine. The scream at the end... Oh, god, the scream at the end.
All those years later, #Kirito still sounds as frightening as ever!
And keep in mind, I'm wearing headphones this time! Hell, I have to wear headphones cuz my PC doesn't have speakers, and even if they did I wouldn't want to frighten others.
He legit sounds like a hydraulic press crushing a bag of wet gravel! A dying pterodactyl trying to pull-start a rusty lawnmower! A garbage disposal eating a bunch of drywall screws! A blender full of broken glass and pennies!
It's no wonder Yoshitsugu Matsuoka is known to have bled his nose, coughed blood, cut his oxygen and spent himself unable to talk for days from the many recording sessions he did on Sword Art Online all those years ago! It's no wonder why he was immediately hired to do Äs Nödt and Petelgeuse later on! He's a vocal cord sandstorm! He's an acoustic weapon of mass destruction!
At least with these characters, I know it's a villain! But with Kirito? I'm constantly wondering whether he's the hero or the villain just from the screaming alone!
