This is one of those I-heard-this-while-browsing-the-internet-and-made-a-connection type things. In this case, Kaname is seen doing a lot of shouting in my humble opinion, and when I heard this audio (I don’t knwo where it’s from though) I thought it would be funny if I put the two together.
I don’t own Full Metal Panic, or the audio (Although if anyone knows where it comes from I’d really like to know)
The following also contains a lot of swearing, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Walt Disney Treasures - the Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

Before Mickey, there was Oswald: By 1926, Walt Disney’s first series, the live-action/animation ‘Alice’ comedies, had run its course. Under pressure from distributor Charles Mintz and Carl Laemmle of Universal, Disney and his artists created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in 1927. Within months, Moving Picture World praised the cartoons’ ‘astounding feat of jumping into first-run favor overnight.’ During the ‘Oswald’ series, Disney’s talents as an organizer and story man began to emerge; his friend and head animator Ub Iwerks designed Oswald’s appearance and imbued him with a jaunty style of movement. But in 1928, Mintz took the character away from Disney. To replace Oswald, Walt created Mickey Mouse. This important collection includes the 13 surviving silent ‘Oswald’ shorts (of 26). Many of them feel like rough drafts for later Mickey cartoons. When Oswald enters a trans-Atlantic race in ‘The Ocean Hop,’ the antics he performs in his airplane prefigure the ones in ‘Plane Crazy.’ In ‘Sky Scrappers,’ Oswald takes a job on a construction site where his girlfriend (an unnamed cat) sells box lunches, anticipating the Mickey and Minnie cartoon ‘Building a Building’ (1933)–down to the opening shot of a dinosaur-like steam shovel at work. The silent ‘Oswald’ shorts have rarely been seen since they were first released 80 years ago: Some viewers may grow impatient with these relatively crude cartoons, but they remain intriguing examples into Walt Disney’s early work. Leslie Iwerks’ informative documentary The Hand Behind the Mouse: The Ub Iwerks Story (1999) traces the life of her grandfather. One of the greatest talents of the silent cartoon era, Ub Iwerks animated the first Mickey shorts and ‘Silly Symphonies’ almost single-handedly. Iwerks left Disney to start his own studio in 1930. Although it attracted an impressive array of talent, it closed in 1938. Two years later, Iwerks returned to Disney, where he won two Oscars for innovations in visual effects technology. Hand

Blue Juice

Wax up your boards and hang 10 (or whatever) where the big waves come crashing in: off the English coast at Cornwall. Huh? No endless summer? No two girls for every boy? No, but in Blue Juice one can see what most of us probably never even thought about: the British Isles are indeed islands and, not incongruously, there’s a considerable surfing culture with a handful of homegrown legends. One of the latter is JC (Sean Pertwee), a skilled surfer so driven by the challenge and so dedicated to his mates that it threatens his meandering romance with the long-suffering Chloe (Catherine Zeta-Jones). The two have planned an extensive, around-the-world trip as a kind of prelude to discussing marriage, but the arrangement is threatened when three of JC’s old childhood chums arrive from London. One of them (played by Steven Mackintosh) is a famous record producer who has sold his soul (in every sense) to reap profits from fashionable electronica. Another (Ewan McGregor) is a chronic screwup resorting to hustling junk to unsuspecting customers. The last (Peter Gunn) is an anxious sort terrified of marrying his longtime girlfriend. Together, these four guys look like a pack of nowhere men and they know it: while the story largely focuses on JC and Chloe, there’s plenty of material for the supporting characters to indulge in mucho self-loathing. The film never quite jumps off the screen and the script may be hampered by too many layers of character eccentricity, but this is still an enjoyable piece with some fine comic performances. –Tom Keogh Running Time: 98 mins Format: Number of Discs: 1 Screen Ratio: R (Restricted) Release Date: Screen Ratio: 1.85:1 Subtitles: Audio: English Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Extra Features: Running Time: 98 mins Format: Number of Discs: 1 Rating: R (Restricted) Release Date: Screen Ratio: 1.85:1 Subtitles: Audio: English Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Extra Features:
