  • Episode 108--Usagi's Dance, In Time To A Waltz, has some American exchange students that have really thick Japanese accents. It never fails to make my friend and I laugh, so I had to put it on the internet. Sorry about the lack of subtitles, but you should be able to figure out what's happening from the broken English.

      The way someone explained it to me was that in Japanese, 'R' and 'L' as separate sounds just don't exist. To them, it's exactly the same thing, with the way they roll the 'R's like many languages do. That's where we get things like "young-u rady".

    • @donnaquixote7538
      @donnaquixote7538 2 года назад +29

      @@Randoman590 Thanks, I know. I studied linguistics, and [l] and [r] sounds are pretty much the same phoneme /r/ in Japanese, which means they're an interchangeable sound without the meaning of a word in Japanese chaning. One can say they are different allophones (or variations) of the same phoneme.
      Meanwhile in a language like English (or my mother tongue, Finnish), /l/ and /r/ are different phonemes, hence words that would otherwise sound similar like "lady" or "ready" have a different meaning (even though, to be exact, the vowels in these words do sound a bit different).
      In Finnish, the words "rakki" and "lakki" are a so-called minimal pair. The only sound that is different is the first one, /l/ - /r/. "Rakki" means a "pooch" or a "mutt" while "lakki" means a "cap". A Japanese person might hear both words as the same.

      Hey❤️ I may not know you personally however I care about you deeply because I know how much you mean to Jesus The King of all creation . I want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you so much, he died for our sins so that whoever believes in him wouldn’t have to perish in hell but instead have eternal life in heaven. You need to understand that HEAVEN and HELL are 1000% REAL they aren’t imaginary , and hell is a horrible place I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. God doesn’t want you to end up there he wants you in heaven and so he is giving you a chance to accept the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ and be saved.

    You know, I have never understood why anime studios don't have a list of "English-speaking" VAs explicitly for the role of "English/American exchange student."
    I am sure it is hard to find fluent English speaking VAs in Japan, but these roles are usually one-off characters in animes. Just have a few "jobbers" who show up for their dozen lines in one episode, then move on to the next one. I mean, the "English" of these exchange students is often times worse than that of the MCs who, at best, have a couple of years of study and SHOULD have accents.
    Also, the English Auto-generated subtitles are a must!

    • @andylatino
      @andylatino 2 года назад +129

      American cartoons and animated shows do the same thing when they speak a different language, usually it's the same voice actors who work there who do the voices, many times I've heard them speak Spanish and it sounds funny, of course because they're not natives, I guess it's more complicated to bring people from the outside, unless it's a big or main role they're playing.

    • @samuelzuleger5134
      @samuelzuleger5134 2 года назад +70

      @@andylatino I get what your saying, and agree. The thing with anime (not sure how familiar you are with anime in general, so no offense) is that any anime set in modern (or even Edo Period) Japan always has at least one episode with "Americans" visiting, usually as exchange students or soldiers, much like in real life Japan. Its predictable as clockwork. Often times, the Main Character VAs have better English than the VAs voicing the visiting "Americans."
      The real kicker is that some anime have (allegedly) bilingual characters. For example, Revy from Black Lagoon. Totally different genre than Sailor Moon, but Revy's whole backstory is that she is Chinese-American, and grew up in the United States. She usually has a line or two in English per episode, and it ramps up for about three episodes in the second season where every other line is English. The story was written before the anime was cast, so you have to wonder why they didn't go with a Japanese VA who had better English. The Engrish is so bad that it is laughable...much like watching some of the FUNimation VAs take their shot at trying to speak Japanese in a dubbed anime.
      I know I am making a mountain out of a mole hill, but it is just funny to think about...especially as anime has moved beyond Japanese-only audiences and is being simulcast around the world. I guess it will just stay a cute quirk of anime.
