On new name for P3M....

[sealkun]

It doesn't sound as bad as you keep making it out to be.

So I guess I'm Makoto now?

At least you're not throwing a fit about it. "Better than Gettarou" indeed, if you're not making it a big deal.

... What do you mean I share a name with a porn star?

[ It's true! ]

...dunno why they have to change it.

[sealkun]

The same happened with Sou... Yu when the anime came out and now Hibiki.

It seems like the names for us are always placeholders.

[evoketh]

...mm, I know that.

It's not much of a reason, though.

[sealkun]

I guess not.

I was getting used to Minato, too. Do you think people will still call me-er, us, Minato even after the movie's been released?

I AM SORRY FOR SLOWTAGS i'm not getting notifs somehow

[evoketh]

Not sure if it'll catch on.

The Japanese fandom is pretty fond of "Kitaro" as it is... and "Makoto" is a pretty common name, all things considered. It... hasn't really been popular so far.

[shifts his weight a little] ...should just stick with whatever you want.

IT'S OKAY BB BACKTAG ALL YOU LIKE.

[sealkun]

Established reputations are hard to change, huh?

I don't think my mun has ever referred to Souji as Yu. It doesn't seem like she'll change any time soon.

[evoketh]

Mine swears not to change my name.

Though I wonder how the movie will characterize... us.

[sealkun]

Oh yes, speaking lines and the like...?

I'm more worried about vocal distinctions between us and Ryoji. Mine swears Yuri Lowenthal sounds the same in every role.

[evoketh]

Ah... Akira Ishida's reprising his role, so...

If you want to compare his voice for us and for Ryoji, Episode Luck's pretty handy.

[sealkun]

Japanese Seiyuus tend to be pretty good about voices.

It still seems really strange to switch voices quickly... it's like talking to yourself, isn't it?
