Oh god the
engrish.
Dear Japan,
I have to assume that there are people in your country that can speak some
perfectly fine English. I’ve watched Higashi no Eden, I’ve heard a perfectly
serviceable black woman in there. Maybe
I can understand it if you need a character to speak both Japanese and English
and you want a specific voice actress for the Japanese, but this character
could probably have switched actresses later on, considering that she receives an
age-up before we see her again.
It’s hard to
convincingly act in another language, trust me.
You’re so hooked on trying to pronounce everything right, you can’t
really put emotion in. And the accents
are hilarious, but extremely jarring.
