Invisible Crane

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

(Redirected from GrantM)

The beast itself.

When the Americunts has such epic lol-cows such as Chris-chan for their amusement, sadly lesser developed countries like North Britain have to make do with ones like Invisible Crane (aka. GrantM). GrantM is a 24 year-old assburger muncher, lives with his parents, unemployed and desperate to meet a girl to finally lose his virginity to. He also has plans of being a pro-wrestler, a voice actor, a game designer and the other get-famous dreams usually only dreamt by 13-year old boys who are also desperate to lose their virginity. The flaw with these issues are:

for bring from Glasgow, Scotland, he speaks with a really whiny, high-pitched, faux-American accent;
he has an uncanny talent for causing drama of some kind wheresoe'er he goes.
although being a big guy he's super sensitive to any kind of pain.
he is as thick as shit and could never learn the programming code needed to be a games designer.
without exception, everyone who has come into contact with him in any way, shape or form thinks he's a cunt.

The beast was first discovered on the Voice Acting Alliance forums dreaming of being a voice-actor for some shitty anime company. However over the years his internet appearances have dwindled and instead can be found visiting anime conventions around the UK and making himself unforgettable, though not in the way he ever plans. Recently this pattern once again changed when he started to believe people might just be interested in him speaking even more about himself on YouTube...We can all see where this one is going kids.

In The Beginning; Voice Acting

"I waaaaaannntttt boobies"

“	My name is Grant McLellan and I am from Glasgow, Scotland....but then again you might not care since I am not some big celebrity, model, wrestler, or anyone who works in the likes of the video games industry or the anime industry....	„
—GrantM, Myspace, 19/03/06

The first noted appearances from GrantM have been dated as the summer of 2005 when he first made his debut in the Voice-Acting Alliance forums, freshly finished from watching the "Behind the scenes" feature on the dubbing of some god-forsaken anime and deciding that voice acting is the greatest job in the world. After making some horrible demo on the forum of himself advertising his talents to any voice-over projects going (especially those from ADV/Funimation going onto an amateur sight for their next big star) he became a notorious serial forum go-er. What made him so notable is that he would sign up at many forums with only one purpose: to use people and whine about not being an anime Voice Actor. At these particular forums, he will ask the same questions, looking for different answers. He has always sought out "professional connections," so that he may use them to try to "break into" the field of professional voice over work. In one specific forum, the Voice Acting Alliance, he created an uproar over a young lady making it into the field, claiming it was unfair. This, among many other irritations, granted him the title of "Fastest Ban" at the forum.

Having been sighted at more than five forums, his situation was not to be taken lightly. He had been banned, several times, from one specific forum: Anime on DVD, as well as a quick ban from the aforementioned Voice Acting Alliance. Other forums he plagued were the Toonzone forums, The Anime News Network forums, Anime-England, The Glasgow Anime forum, The Newgrounds forums, the Ayacon forums and the Anime England IRC where he popped up from time to time inducing many lulz.

In addition to his forum antics, he has also been sighted at Livejournal, where he hopes that professional voice over artists and the casting studios ADV and FUNimation will discover him and hire him for lead roles in "Fan Favourite" Anime series.

LiveJournal

Grant's LJ account is where the best of his whining drama played out. His original Journal GrantM1 Was where the best of his whinging went on, bitching about how he's still just a fat retard from Glasgow instead of being the screeching voice of Alphonse Elric as well as where he would justify his IRL drama and complain that people bullied him by constantly laughing at every stupid thing he does.

A highlight of Grant's LJ saga was when a mysterious unnamed voice-actor who worked for ADV and Funimation made an account called gmvox and began posting about his career as a voice actor for ADV, claiming to best some of the more and female voice actors. It took anyone with half a brain 2 seconds (and gaiafags 10 seconds) to work out that this so-called "voice actor" was indeed GrantM in disguise. After people saw through this like glass and began revealing this amazing secret on his LJ, Grant had a fit of insanity and deleted all entries in his 'gmvox' journal and ranted and raved about how he was afraid of never being a voice actor for ADV - his sole reason for creating the journal.

Innocent girl GrantM took advantage of while she was drunk

Upon joining the Glasgow Anime forum he came to learn of their regular meet-ups and began to attend them. He would spout his self-important crap to the group, drooling over every women he saw and waited for them to get moist for his big fat ass and constantly mistake himself for being someone of actual interest as he looked down his nose at all the members, then quickly hiding behind his assburger shield whenever being pulled up for it. Thus began the IRL trolling of GrantM. Coming into contact with Grant initially just lead to encouraging him to do odd acts, mostly involving Skype chats to his new fanbase. However, thinking he was now the social life of the group, he continued to act retarded beyond comprehension, creeping out men and women alike with his horny-assburger nonsense until he eventually got banned from attending the anime club, a time of Grant's life that he considers the worst of his life. His liveJournal and Myspace was flooded with his own pleas for re-acceptance into the club, however Grant was left out for over 2 years before there was forgiveness and he would begin to attend again.

GrantM's very own brick at the Scottish Youth Theatre

During his ban from the club he attempted to actually get some of these actor skills the others fabled about when advising what he needs to not be a wannabe faggy voice actor, but instead be a professional faggy voice actor. He joined the Scottish Youth Theatre where he was told "OMG! You can't act, dance, sing or preform...WELCOME!" in a loving of uselessness usually only reserved for the hallways of /b/. The highlight from his tour of duty with the SYT is when he preformed in some element during a show (sources say he was the all-important third tree from the right in act 2) and was given a brick for his talent, while the audience shat their own bricks after seeing his horrible acting.

One of the greatest recorded trollings of GrantM happened at a party in 2007, where Grant's best friends invited him to join in on the merriment of the evening. What the actual plan was to get GrantM drunk and see how amusing it would be. The following video was captured:

The lulz didn't end here, only the video did. Grant continued onward to lick the floor, eat from bins and strip half-naked. Following this party Grant swore to never drink again

Conventions

It was upon meeting the Glasgow Anime club GrantM's convention track began.(Although he was rumoured to of been spotted at Ayacon '05 however this was prior to his initial burst into the lulz limelight so not much attention was paid to him.) He attended Auchinawa (http://www.auchinawa.org.uk/), a Scottish anime convention in 2006, but sadly there was no reported nervous breakdown. Just a lot of nervous walking around, asking gophers questions with blatantly obvious answers then getting unnecessarily defensive when given said answers, and looking over his shoulder a hell of a lot like he had something to hide. The only recorded lulz coming from a video of him DDRing. He returned to Auchinawa in 2008 where his appreciation began even before the con did when he was asked by the committee to not use the username GrantM so people don't get put off of going when they see this big tub of goo will be there. Instead GrantM used the username Invisible Crane. Thankfully he lived up to his name and stayed invisible the whole con.

In 2009 GrantM went to his 2nd English convention Kitacon (http://www.kitacon.org/) where he was a gopher. Other than moar DDRing to much lulz not much has been reported from Grant during the convention other than odd moments of his moronic logic, but all the best bits happened at the closing ceremony when Grant delivered 2 items of comedy brilliance, both captured and on YouTube:

Notice how everyone is either talking amongst themselves as Grant talks or is laughing at him constantly.

Some people say that following these videos interest for Auchinawa 2010 hit an all time low, but those people are wrong because no one cared about Auchinawa to begin with.

Return to the internet: YouTube

In 2008, Grant (under the username GrantM1) posted around six videos on YouTube where he bared his soul to the internet, realized the internet never cared, and subsequently deleted said videos. Stand out videos included his aspirations to become a voice actor for the Simpsons, the reasons that everyone should watch the new Star Trek and a scathing critique of Chris Crocker's rise to fame. Notably, the content was wholeheartedly lulzworthy, particularly when he bounced from happy go lucky to manic depressive without his voice changing key.

The following year he made another lot of videos under the username InvisibleCrane, once again sharing with us the rants of the worst thing to come out of the UK since Susan Boyle. Most of it is just ranting about other YouTube drama and his own opinions of games and anime, obviously trying to live some sort of new career as a game critic despite his lack of having a credible opinion. After all; would you play games recommended to you by a retard?
