Manifesto Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Honestly sometimes i do find it quite good, like when senjougahara said, "Parent Teacher Association" for example, she sounded a bit sexy,Though it also bothers me sometimes...,really like from nanatsu no taizai, the way the say thier skills are in english and i think that its not cool at all. Imagine shichika yelling in english you'ld find it uncool right?..maybe? well just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seacliff Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It doesn't bother me, whenever someone speaks an English term it's either for comic relief (T.K. from angles beats) or they are just trying to sound professional (Nunotaba Shinobu from Railgun) they normally don't happen often and it wasn't meant to break the flow of the show. But I will admit that some anime characters try to make 'Engrish' cooler then what it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorQinmon Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I remember hearing some time ago that the reason this is is because Japanese people think the English language sounds "exotic". And no, it doesn't bother me at all. Growing up in a place where almost no one speaks English I always found it amazing when I was young on how the asian cartoons would use English words. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuki_Radosian Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't really mind , I think it's the same as when English shows have characters that say Japanese words . The only difference for me is that Anime characters usually speak English much better than English characters speak Japanese. I do however get annoyed when characters slip into English for no reason (like when they do a special attack and name it in English when the name is just as good in Japanese). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well for comic relief it's great. Â e.g. Kongou from Kantai Collection: "No problem desu!" Â Someone needs to make a compilation video of her English phrases.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyePotatoes Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It doesn't bother me at all. Although I kind of laugh whenever I hear some anime characters who would speak in English for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSL29 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 No, not really, find it funny sometimes, but still it will all just be forgotten, I mean even Indonesian cartoon tried to put some English conversation going on even though they fail miserably I still appreciate their efforts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Bunny of Doom Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 can't say it bothers me...but sometimes it sounds funny not to mention I can't understand what they're saying most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ ] Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I say it depends on the English vocal cast, NGNL had an good vocal cast it's just I'm so used to looking at the bottom of the screen lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssjup81 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 can't say it bothers me...but sometimes it sounds funny not to mention I can't understand what they're saying most of the time That's because they teach Katakana English as opposed to how a native person would speak, hence why it's difficult to understand sometimes. That aside, they start forcing kids to study English in school from junior high school...and yet Japan is way behind other Asian countries like Korea and China.

Ryuji Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I absolutely adore hearing the Japanese speaking/singing in English. It's far better than listening to any native English speaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryuji Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 wait, how? other that it sounds cuter, I cant see any other reason.. It's just my personal preference. If I could watch everything in Japanese with English subs or with Japanese people speaking English, I would watch a whole lot more tv than I do.

feelme Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Dude it's so hard to bear listening to Japanese VAs speak English since it sounds so not-fluent, obviously because they don't speak English natively. But I can see why studios don't hire English VAs since most aren't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I friggin love Engrish. My heart exploded when I first saw this scene: Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyy88iyvlf0 Â The horrible, awkward script just makes it better. I actually just love listening to broken English in general, so long as it is still comprehensible. Edited October 23, 2015 by Guest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veaz Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It doesn't bother me, there are actually intro's where the English language is spoken. For an example, take Mirai Nikki's second intro, I really like it and it has become one of my favorite intro's and my first favorite English intro. There are intro's where there's a mix of two different languages, whether it be English and Japanese, or German and Japanese. Speaking about characters, it does not bother me when characters speak English if they're trying to read out something. What does bother me is Anime that have English dubs, I don't prefer it myself as I watch Japanese dub with English subtitles at all times. Heh, I watched an Anime with English dub before.. it turned out I disliked it the dub. It's just not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soco Moraga Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Sometimes I find that they speak really bad and wonder "why do they even bother". however it's funny to find something close to your culture in an anime... kinda like an easter egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original poster was referring to the Japanese version of these shows where one of the characters start to speak or say something in English.
