Haruko and this guy have history haha.

Heh that girl's response to that thing growing out of Naota.

Haruko doesn't care what happens to the Earth.

Small as usual.  Takkun's a lot manlier lmao.

DeMarco said they made a longer version of the FLCL 2 and 3 behind-the-scenes featurette with the voice actors that they couldn't play on TV due to time limits, so they uploaded it to Youtube.  I do not remember if this was linked here but here it is.  Things you won't see in the shorter edit Kari talking more about Haruko's importance to her, and Steve Blum elaborating on his experiences in this show (as well as a peek of his character speaking). 

Kari gets a tad emotional at the end too. :D Love it.

One thing I don't get is why Steve Blum says "there are no anime dub work in California" which is totally false and could just be  a case of him not thinking clearly when doing unscripted in-the-moment interviews.

That's kind of strange. It might have to do with Steve being an union guy, since the majority of anime dubs produced nowadays aren't union-based. However, I've heard that there have been some produced in California as of late, mostly by Netflix and their dubbing studios.

Then he should've phrased it like "I don't work in anime dubs in California".

Or he could drop out of the union in favor of financial core status. Basically, it doesn't count as a full union membership, but you do get most of the benefits when working for one, and it doesn't prevent you from working on non-union stuff. This is probably what most California-based VAs do, especially if they also pursue work in Texas... you know, because of those damn right-to-work laws.

FC status sounds like a much better alternative than union.

I'd say so, at least for this particular industry. The biggest downside to not being a full member is that you can't vote on the contract actually provided by the union, although you can still participate in collective bargaining. There's also the matter of the dues you're paying through fi-core compared a to full membership. You typically pay less, but only by a single- or low double-digit percentage; it's important you still support them for what a union job gives you.

To make it funnier, they interviewed Steve Blum for their DVD

Bang Zoom! Entertainment released a series of interviews with "close to 100 [voice] actors, producers, and casting directors" on DVD, titled Adventures in Voice Acting: Anime, Games and Animation. Many of the interviews took place on set and in their respective studios. The trailer announced many of the voice actors that would appear on the DVD, including Steven Blum, Wendee Lee, Tom Kenny and many others.

I have that DVD. I got it some 10 years ago, but the things they tell you in it are still true today.
