Narrator: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples|suf=s}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* The [[Dragon Ball]] series. Recaps the previous episodes. And closes the final scene. On occasions he narrates in the middle of episodes. The Funimation Texas dub narrators are infamous for gravely voiced, "Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!". The Japanese dub sounds like an elder man telling a story.

* Every adventure in the ''[[Hank the Cowdog]]'' series is told by Hank himself.

 

* [[Rod Serling]] in ''[[The Twilight Zone]]''.

* Ron Howard's voiceovers in ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''.

** It's also implied Alazlam Durai is getting this information from the "Durai Reports", written by his ancestor Olan Durai (who hangs around at the periphery of the plot through much of the game, only actually appearing in battle once)

* In the 2004 version of ''[[The Bard's Tale]]'', the events of the game are narrated by the man who's reading the tale (as voiced by the late [[Tony Jay]]). He and the eponymous Bard (as voiced by Cary Elwes) frequently bicker throughout the game, discussing issues like [[Kleptomaniac Hero|the morality of claiming items from chests for one's self]], or [[Money Spider|the absurdity of finding money]] [[Randomly Drops|or sellable goods from killing various creatures]].

 

== [[Web Animation]] ==

* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' has two narrators. Antimony does the bulk of the narration from some unspecified point in time. (According to [[Word of God|Tom Siddell]], [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|she's telling the whole story]], even the bits without narrator-text boxes.) And Tea (that white-haired girl) serves as a fourth-wall-breaking [[Mr. Exposition|Miss Exposition]] on a few of the end-of-chapter bonus pages.

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' has a narrator who sometimes interacts with the characters.

* The BLU Spy in ''[[Cuanta Vida]]''.

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* A weird example is the Narrator from [http://chimerabazaar.blogspot.com/ The Chimera Bazaar's] spin-off [http://nightmareabyss.blogspot.com/ Nightmare Abyss] who is a main character.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==
