He presented @ Con ja nai in MI yesterday, have to say, as someone who is only a casual anime fan at best his presentation was really quite impressive and educational! Very easy to understand for those of us not so in tune with a lot of references! Highly recommend!
My friends and I enjoy talking about the motifs and ideas expressed in fiction, especially animation. It's probably the geekiest hobby ever, but we're okay with that!
A mythology scholar? That's quite a term. :0 I've know about this for quite a while, I actually joined his Yahoo group on mythology a few years back. XD
...I guess I'm a mythology sponge, I've been absorbing myths and gods into my head since I was around 10 years old. *melt* Mythology is one of my passions, maybe that's why Saint Seiya is my favorite anime. xD ...I really want an anime centering on Celtic myths one of these days. Or Mesopotamian. That would be awesome.
Ah bugger. I didn't know you actually had deep intellectual discussions as well, until a few minutes ago. I would most certainly like to attend at some point, perhaps even debate a bit, circumstances allowing, but my woefully inadequate funding and alienated locale do nothing to help with that. If you would be so kind as to keep doing this for a few more years, so that I can finally attend, I would be most appreciative.
Although to be honest, I'm not entirely sure if you even read these posts.
Good morning, sir. Wow, I will definitely check this out! You are one of my all-time favorite voice actors (along with Steven Blum, Andy McAvin, Tiffany Grant, Vic Mignogna, Chris Patton, and others), but it's also fascinating to see you exploring the mythology of western/eastern animation. Also, the music reminds me of one of the tracks in Wolf's Rain (I love Yoko Kanno).
Excellent stuff here. I find academics stuffy, elitist, and full of hubris...but you're an exception. Keep it up, man.
Like omgeezers!!!! Love this!!!!! And can't hardly wait to...ahem....stumble upon one of his magicaaaal seminars of mind awakening fantasies!!!!! Aaaaaah soooo lovely XD
wow this awesome i didn't know that Crispin Freeman gives lectures on animes as well as voice acting.great actor love to see him more on hellsing ultimate
If these were recorded, either by audio, or preferably video, I would pay for CD/DVD videos of the lecture series. I am highly intrigued, but am unfortunately located in the midwest, and will never be able to attend.
That class looks pretty amazing - I'd love to attend, though living in Australia means it'd probably be more expensive to get there than to take every class you have on offer :D. Would you consider on-line classes and seminars in the future, if you think they'd benefit your students?
Ack! Why do I have to live in Canada?!?! That was amazing, I hope I can see your indepth discussion one day Crispin, because that little bit alone was just amazing!
Oh how I wish you would come back to Anime Boston. I saw you when I was just a young teen girl, giving one of you mythology panels and you inspired me to get into mythology and storytelling and my mother and I both love love love listening to you talk.
I had always wanted to check out these classes anyway. Honestly that's why I'm such a big fan of yours, but this trailer is stunning Crispin! I hope you get invited to give one of these lectures on the east coast soon!
I would so love to attend this, unfortunatly I live on the other side of the US :< Crispin, if you made your classes into DVDs or something, I'd buy them instantly. Few things are more epic than Mythology and anime combined. Except when its taught by you XD Good luck <3
Oh, the one at MCAD was so awesome! The hour drive down there was totaly worth it... it was just unbelievable! Really, I can't even put it in to words... it was just so...AGH! I loved it. I wish teachers were able to make lectures that fascinating. Best hour an fifteen minutes of my life. It didn't even feel that long, it felt like ten. And getting a hug from Crispin? .....MOUTHWATERINGLY GOOD!
Oh, yeah, that's true... I went with two friends and we only got to go because all our birthdays were like, within three weeks and it was our present. Yeah, it was pretty spendy. I think Crispin should make a DVD of his talks, don't you think?
Yeah, it would be a great thing for all of us anime fans to have. But just think if it was in movie theatres. That would be even cooler than DVDs, but whatever he could put it on, would make any anime fan happy.
Loved this, I want to go to one of his classes but i can't because i'm in Virginia T_T, but what would be awesome is if when he goes to conventions he has a little anime mythology panel/class there except more of a summary since i don't think he will have 2 hours to really get into it
Oh man this makes me want to go to your class so much but unfortunately i live in Texas so i would be hard for me to attend and i missed the class you had in Dallas please come to Texas again !
Hes right about the stories. What attracts me to Xenosaga and Final Fantasy is that I can relate to certain characters on an emotional level. And these games also help me to deal with real-life situations. For instance, knowing your real friends from the fake ones knowing who you can trust. Things like that.
