Apologies to any of you I might've kept waiting for the Cantata audio, I've had the devil's own time trying to record it. If it's not fall allergies making me sound like Elmer Fudd on Quaaludes it's thunderstorms or people on Harley-Davidsons roaring around or my neighbor the handyman building a deck on his house or some goddamn thing. So far I've managed to get about half of it done. Fingers crossed that I'll find a window to get the rest this weekend.

As and when you're ready. I appreciate having audio at all so waiting a little is only the mildest of distress.

All righty, it's here!

Also, episode 18 is coming tomorrow. Er, later today. Saturday.

Yay!

Just a funny side note.

Hearing you say "huahuahua" the first time almost got me in trouble at work. (and several odd looks)

Took me 5 minutes to stop sniggering, well done.

I had to think about that for a second, because I couldn't think when I would have said that. :)

(The subtitles spell it "hawawawa" when Inazuma says it. From context, it seems to be linguistically akin to Ed Norton's* "hominahominahomina". At least when it's used in the "I am fearful and/or confused" context.)

As an aside, Kongō's name is hard to say if you're a native English speaker. The "ng" doesn't have a hard G in it, and since it has a vowel after it, the English-speaking tongue really, really wants to put one there. It's also hard to say the extended "o" without also emphasizing it. I think I succeeded in both things at once about 15% of the time. I probably should just have Anglicized it and pronounced it like the country in Africa**, but I thought I'd at least make the attempt.
