I just watched an animated movie trailer for a Japanese film based on the
Professor Layton video game series. I didn't understand a word of it, because I don't speak Japanese and there weren't any subtitles, but that didn't stop me from just soaking in the exotic-sounding chatter, adorable giant eyes, and charming storybook animation. About the only thing that made me cringe was the over-enthusiastic narrator, who would forcefully shriek something insane-sounding in Japanese every few seconds, accompanied by a large title ending in at least one exclamation mark. Our voice-over artists are much, much better. But otherwise, it was a lovely trailer that reminded me again how in love I am with Japanese culture.
Just thought I'd make that a public proclamation. Nobody do a Zelda movie, or I will rip out your soul and feed it through a log chipper, because I'm making it first.
