Hello Okami lovers and fans, this is my cheesy introduction to Okami Abridged!
My partner and I have created an abridged series that we are working on for Okami (obviously). But since YouTube is a butt and doesn't have enough room for me to be able to blog my experience (because I'm a dork that way), I'm doing it this way. So here I go:
In the beginning, I was over at my partner, Julia's house, and we were playing Okami which is basically the only thing I ever do anymore. We randomly started narrating the character's text in strange tones and voices and we proclaimed that we were "awesome at being awesome" and decided to start an abridged series of the best game that was ever created.
Of course, we had to choose who would be which character as well. I was Issun since I apparently have an amazing gay voice (don't judge me) and Julia was Amaterasu because she good at being blunt and sarcastic. We divvied up the other characters and I became Waka, she became Susano, and so on.
We didn't start writing until we had finished the game that we had been currently playing. And even then, we didn't start writing. We started the game over in the way that you can become the different types of Amaterasu and kept all your life, ink pots and so on from the previous game. We were being lazy and saying all these hilarious ideas, but never getting them down on paper. So when I went over to her house just a few days ago, I said, "I have the sudden urge to start writing." And so that's what we did. We ate french fries and sugar covered strawberries and talked about the time we ate horrible coconut covered shrimp before really getting down to business.
We restarted the game once again in the normal way and only got through the introduction before we had to stop. We couldn't control ourselves, laughing every time we said 'bitch' and 'the only pretty bitch in town got her house raped by a stick with a rock.' It took a while and many pauses in the narration before we could finish the script. So I went home and waited for it to be edited. I kept complaining about how it was taking too long and asking when it was going to be finished, but she was patient with me, which not a lot of people can be.
I composed a song in the process which she immediately insisted be our theme song and then we had to record that as well.
And truth be told, it's still not done.
I'm writing this right now as an impatient person, waiting the first episode to be finished, dreaming wildly about how we'll one day become famous for voice acting and blogging. But of course, Julia isn't home working on the episode. Noooo, she's at Cirque Du Soleil with her aunt and mother. Of course. So until then, I shall sit, trying to be inspired for my English essay that I haven't even started that's due tomorrow. Boring.
With love to Okami fanatics and lovers,
Zoe.
And Julia, but that doesn't really count.
