I just noticed. The voice of Orca and the voice of Sano are the same.. wee I just watched one episode and I noticed that. I was like, 'whoa dude, that is Sano..' heh.. I dont know. Anyways, just wanted to point that out.

Yes, after watching a decent amount of anime and playing games with voice-acting, you'll quickly notice voice actor overlap.

Today's Kikkaider is a good example; it was hard for me to shake the impression that Kel'Thuzad (WarCraft III) was attacking the concept of mechanized conscience.

I dont remember, but wouldnt kel be against it? I mean, you dont want zombie with brains, you want them to say "BRAINZ!!!" and wahtnot.

Spike and the negotiator from big o are same? Whoa, Go David Lucas.

I feel like a geek for knowing his name...

I suppose.

It'd be more of a problem with the obisidian statues, I think. They are mechanical units, after all, and might decide that healing undead units and keeping their mana charged just isn't the right thing for them to do.

And the fact that the Kikkaider robot in question was very vampiric just added to the Kel'Thuzad impression.
