“Joey, I don’t think you’re supposed to cook the candy bars.” This quote was actually a line I improvised when
@eric_stuart
asked me to come up with something to fill some dead air with an off camera line. Wayne followed it up brilliantly with “Shaddup, I know what I’m doin’.”
The most meaningful conversation was with a fan who transitioned and found encouragement from Yugi’s gentleness and courage combined with Yami’s strength and determination to “believe in yourself”. It helped inspire the true way forward. Thanks again to Takahashi.
Rachael Lillis was a very gifted performer. Smart, thoughtful, and quick witted, Rachael gave countless performances that entertained the original generation of Pokemon fans.
We are so sad to see her go so soon. We are grateful to have known her.
Wow! Thanks for your enthusiastic response!
@eric_stuart
and I would love to make a full cast version of “Season 0” in this format. Exactly what Takahashi put on the page voiced by the original anime cast. We looking into if that’s possible, your desire for it helps:)
Unbelievably, we’re coming up on a year since first hearing the news of Sensei Takahashi’s passing. Many of you know
@eric_stuart
and I want to tribute him by voicing his original manga with a full cast. But what would you, the fans like? An event with all the cast? Let us know:)
It was a year ago today I learned of Sensei Takahashi’s untimely end. It’s been heartening to see the vibrant love and respect for him in this community. My admiration and gratitude for him and his work grows every day.
My first 6 months on Twitter has been a lot of fun, it’s been awesome getting to know everybody! I’m so grateful to be part of such a cool, compassionate, and creative community. Looking forward to what comes next:)
A fan showed me his Millennium Puzzle themed wedding band! I took a video with him describing the inscription that goes around it, but the audio didn’t record correctly. I might post it anyway to show how truly awesome this ring is:)
I’m still wrapping my head around the club shooting this weekend. One of my favorite fan moments was being asked to sign a Pride flag. I was honored to add my name to the hundreds she’d collected. I will always choose love and oppose bigotry. Free the love, fight the hate.
What did Takahashi do for you? Eric and I want our first episode of The Heart of the Cards to be a tribute of sorts to Kazuki Takahashi. Many cast members have recorded what they are grateful for. If you share how his work affected your life we could read it on the podcast.
A choked up fan could barely speak, he told me the card he wanted me to sign was the last thing his childhood friend gave him nearly 20 years ago. He hadn’t seen him since. People often apologize when they cry. Ashamed to be so vulnerable. To me they seem very brave and alive.
Happy Halloween! Also, The Heart of the Cards will be off for the next 2 weeks as Eric will be appearing at Supanova in Australia;) Have fun and stay safe!!
A fan asked me to sign a piece of a photo. The man in the picture was her father. She bonded with him watching Sonic X. Tragically, he took his own life a year ago. If you or someone you know is struggling, you don’t have to do it alone. Seek the help you deserve.
Kevin Conroy remains inspirational in so many ways. We lost a legend today, and according to those who knew him, a tremendously good person. I’m not alone when I say he was my favorite Batman. May he be well remembered.
This friend is the one I made that mixtape/Indiana Jones Adventure for when I was a teenager. Her “kiddo” is 28, like a lot of people I’m fortunate to have as fans.
The holiday season can be particularly difficult for those who struggle with depression. I couldn’t have reached the other side without the compassion of others. Reach out if you think someone needs a hand. If you are having a hard time don’t keep it to yourself. You’re not alone
Here’s my premise for what could happen after Dark Side of Dimensions. Also, fighting against “Nethermind” would always use elements of various decks if not always formal duels. Thanks again to Sensei Takahashi for making it fun to imagine in his world. Hope you enjoy:)
I have a question with no wrong answers…which is more meaningful to you, the 25th anniversary of the YGO card game or the upcoming 25th anniversary of the premier episode of the English dub?
TWIMC: Imagine possessing something that is uniquely you, that defines who you are to other people, that is essential to the work you do and how you pay your bills. Then imaging someone taking that uniqueness away from you. Please stop cloning my voice with AI. It’s damaging.
I was blown away by this fan art, it nails the animation look!! Also, just a heads up that The Heart of the Cards is off this week but will be back next week. But at 5 pm check out “By the Hand of Dan” at Audramada Productions on YouTube! I draw Kaiba;)
@YuGiOhNewsTCG
@eric_stuart
I'm so saddened by this news. We were thrilled to have had the chance to meet him in person. His creativity indelibly marked our careers, the course of our lives, and the friends we've made along the way.
This Christmas Eve, go to Audramada Productions on YouTube for a special holiday gift from
@eric_stuart
and me. It will drop at 6pm EST. We hope everyone of all faiths are able to share some joy with those they love most.
For those who like anime and affirming ASMR;) Also, The Heart of the Cards drops today at Audramda Productions on YouTube, 4:30pm EST!
@eric_stuart
and I discuss inspiration.
I’m proud of a few things I’ve done. One of the best is being ordained as an “honorary Jew”, a title bestowed to me by families who know what that means. I’ve said before how much I despise bigotry. To my brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers out there, I’m with you.
I’m finally in another anime! Checkout CODE GEASS: Roze of the Recapture, on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus elsewhere. So great to work with Mike Sinterniklaas and NYAVPost again:)
Same sex and interracial marriage is one step closer to being protected by federal law. On a whimsical note, I’m reminded of Robin Williams line, “Once you’re married it’s always the same sex.” But seriously, I’m greatly encouraged that we can live and let love.
This is the most unique gift I’ve ever received . And this is only part one, there are many more of these wonderful creations to share!! I asked the young man who made these to write down his name, which he did, but that somehow got lost in the shuffle. I hope he’ll chime in:)
Mom raised 4 children on her own after my father died, got a PhD, and became the first woman head of the Rutgers Alumni dept. She could also sew and cook anything, made elaborate birthday cakes, and taught me to draw. Everyday I marvel at all she gave us. A historic woman indeed.
HUGE THANKS to the amazing Charles Martinet who was gracious enough to not only sign this for one of my kids, but he made the experience so much fun!! We’re still smiling about it:)
If you are in a position to offer some help, please join me and my colleagues in our effort to support our friend and fellow VO legend Rachel Lillis.
She’s been a part of Anime in America for decades, for many of you a voice you grew up on.
Another awesome gift from an incredibly generous fan. I doubt I could’ve put this together;) But I did put together the latest episode of the The Heart of the Cards at Audramada Productions on YouTube! Discover how
@eric_stuart
writes songs!!
I’m still kinda new to Twitter and the “$8 Blue check verification” thing seems strange to me. Regardless, however that unfolds, I promise I’ll keep using Twitter in a way (with audio/video posts) that guarantee this is me:)
My family lost a beloved uncle this week and are gathering to honor and celebrate him as well as support each other. I’ll be off social media until sometime next week. Thanks in advance for your condolences:)
