The Computer Programme - serious BBC show aimed at explaining what computers were and could do at the time (early 80s). Features the BBC Micro computer a lot, an often overlooked computer now.

Bad Influence! - now we're onto the 90s. So everything 16 bit in consoles and home computers, Amiga, etc and after the Amiga's demise.

Bits 1999 to early 2000s - (if you like to ogle women while you think about video games and listen to vintage edgy humor). Covers PC gaming as well as console. They mention interesting stuff like betas and in-developing games, some of which never came out or changed from how the described them before release.

Thumb Bandits - a brief follow up to Bits with one of the presenters filmled in a spooky abandoned Glasgow hospital...

What's fun about these is not only do you get info on these vintage things, you get to see it through the eyes of the peroid, advertising blurb of the day, the context and hear some stuff that was promised and might not have even appeared, etc.

I think with a few exceptions they're all other seiyuu who happen to like videogames. My favorite is in an early episode when Takahiro Sakurai was there and the 3 of theme were all doing Norio Wakamoto impressions while playing an SNES YYH game.

Using the foreign language word for a thing, to denote only those things that come from that country, is common practise.
Führer just means leader in German, but in English it means a *German* leader. Same with anime; means all cartoons in Japanese, but it means *Japanese* cartoons in English.
Thus seiyuu is a valid word fir Japanese voice actors.

Yeah, I'm from Norway and it was always "French-Belgian comics" here if you wanted to refer to them more specifically than just "comics". It's probably because murricans aociate the word "comics" with superheroes too much.

Your examples only work because those are specific thing. Anime is its own style of animation, and nobody outside of Germany uses Fuhrer to talk about "German leaders", they use it for a specific thing: Hitler.

There is nothing specific or different about Japanese voice actors. They're the same kind of VA all the other countries have, so there is no reason to differentiate them. Therefore you come out as a tryhard.

>> No.8073232

>>8073204
> Anime is its own style of animation

A good example being that French anime is a thing, the word anime doesn't just refer to the country of origin, but to a specific style, hence why the use of the word is warranted. Again nothing like that applies to voice actor, and while you're trying to bullshit your way out of it, you know very well that nobody uses the word except people like you who try hard to look like they're "in the know".

>There is nothing specific or different about Japanese voice actors.
The youthful voices female seiyuus are able to produce, in contrast to western ones, is something that separates them. Someone more knowledgeable then me can probably find more differences.

>A good example being that French anime is a thing

It is French anime-influenced cartoons, or French anime-style cartoons, not "French anime"; the same way if one makes sparkling wine in Japan it is Champagne-like bubbly, as Champagne is only in France.

>you know very well that nobody uses the word except people like you who try hard to look like they're "in the know".

It is a useful word when there is ambiguity if one is talking about western dubbers, or original seiyuus.
