Has there been any good cases of Engrish recently? I feel like the ease of translations has ironed them out a bit.

>>291971313To be fair it wasn't a hooker, he was hitting on them (and knowing him it was probably on purpose).Probably Motown, that was a famous dance bar in Roppongi and the barely kept secret is the transvestites and ladyboys would go there. They finally shut down recently, Roppongi is so dead now man. It's like an entire city was just deleted.
Nothing to contribute but a very funny thread have a bump
>>291974558>To be fair it wasn't a hooker, he was hitting on themDepends on what you put in (2). "He was caught buying new-half" would imply that he as resorting to hookers. The "He said No!" line would then be the prostitute denying service.Spiciest version would of cause be "caught fuckung new-half", the next line being Ikuhara exclaiming his shock at being caught.

>>291976857Regarding the first: There are several scenes that show that Ami's English actually sucks. Watch 108 if you want to see how her communication skills in English are genuinely worse than Usagi's without her realizing. While she's an academic overachiever, she often fails at applying that knowledge in real life situations or for problem solving. It seems the anime writers deliberately wanted to drive a point home here. A critique of the Japanese approach of cramming for school rather than trying to gain a deeper understanding of things. Also giving the character an interesting flaw and adding nuance.So, yeah, the character printing a completely unrelated document and not noticing, or maybe even noticing but just bullshitting her way through it, is absolutely in the realm of possibilities, if a bit over the top.Regarding the second: "Ikuhara" refers to Ikuhara Kunihiko, the series director at the time this episode was made. So, yes, it's an inside-joke at his expense.

>>291977140Literally the only error here is "plastic surgeri".

>>291978058Those are basically typos, just like "surgeri". And not the type of typo that would twist the meaning either. Ergo: Not very amusing.I guess it does show that they didn't care enough to double check when they should have.
>>291978058>>291978188And I just noticed that "heralth" wasn't even in there, but a typo I made. Because I didn't care enough to doube check. Case in point - shit happens.
>>291970030Has to be on purpose
>>291978184I Am Boss is grammatically correct though
>>291977165I think that's more her actress not being good at English. in-universe she's supposed to be good.
>>291965536Official merchandise, someone?
>>291979084No. It's the writing. When the girls are introduced to a British acquaintance of Mamoru's for the very first time, they all offer him their greetings in English. All but Ami pick some innocuous version of "Hello", ranging in complexity and politeness from Usagi to Minako (whose practical English skills are supposed to be the best due to her having spent a year in England).Ami instead opts for "I'm glad to see you."Which is an absolutely appropriate way to greet a close friend of yours, particularly someone who's recently made it through a tough situation and gave you reason to worry. I stress: This is the first time Ami meets this man. There is no reason that she'd be "glad" to see him. She just crammed greeting-lines and picked one at random that sounded good to her, without understanding what it meant.And considering how much care the writer of that scene put into giving the other girls lines of varying complexity according to their different fluency levels and character traits, it's hard not to see his choice for Ami as a deliberate one, rather than him himself making an error.>in-universe she's supposed to be good.There's no evidence of that. Getting high grades in tests is not the same as being fluent in a language. But, as I explained, there is evidence to the contrary.
>>291980079you're reading way too much into this, man
>>291980079Just like Kaji's English in the Evangelion rebuilds, right? That was intentional writing? Why would a free spirit layabout drill his English pronunciation, after all.
>>291980623Am I? All I'm reading is what's in the scene itself. Besides, Ami is often shown having very low applied intelligence. She generally misunderstands social cues, is slow to get jokes, does not appreciate creative deviations from norms (i.e. feels the need to correct others when they missquote idioms, a running gaga between her and Minako), thinks that forcing people to study will inprove their performance and that entertainment breaks during studying sessions are detrimental (recurring issue of her chastising Usagi for that), is shown eating greasy junk food (which itself is unhealthy) while operating a computer keyboard ... and on and on.So, yeah, her picking an English line that sounds complicated, could be used in similar situations, but does not fit the situation at hand - that fits in neatly.By the way: I just looked up the scene again. I have to correct a prior claim - not all the girls do use a variant of "hello": Usagi panics and stutters that she does not speak English in broken grammar. Makoto goes with "Thank you". So the "politeness" argument I made does not hold. But the complexity one does. Rei goes with a simple "Hello" and Minako with "Nice to meet you", which is exactly what you'd expect from someone fluent in the language on a first meeting.The wider argument here is that the writing team did not forget about Minako's year abroad and her being fluent in English. Meanwhile, Minako's official character profile for both anime and manga states that English is one of her two least favourite subjects. So, yes, the author and anime writers had already lampshaded the dichotomy between actual English fluency and how English is taught in Japanese schools. Someone with near-perfect fluence underperforming and hating the subject. Conversely, Ami overperforms and loves studying English in school. So, to drive the point home, the one time English skills matter in practice, she fails completely. It's the same dichotomy, the same point in reverse.
>>291981046No. There went way more thought into the characters' English skills in Sailor Moon than there ever was in Evangelion. See >>291981653.Hell, Asuka's German is laughably bad, and she's supposed to be a native speaker.
>>291979758>Quattro vageenaMaybe more...
>>291980079or maybe the writers didn't understand English that well.
>>291982264Read my other posts. Or even just the one you quoted. I explain in that one why it's highly unlikely that they'd pay attention to the English skills of all the characters and then get Ami's wrong.
>>291982346I did. you're overthinking it. it's just a case of nonfluent English speakers writing "good enough" IESLB because they never expected a native English speaker to pick through it with a fine toothed comb. no different than white people getting Chinese character tattoos because it "looks cool" and it's a mix of gibberish and menu items from a Dim Sum restaurant.
>>291982577>it's just a case of nonfluent English speakers writing "good enough" IESLBBut it cannot possibly be a nonfluent character speaking "good enough" (or what she assumes is perfectly good) IESLB? Even though it does make sense for her to do so, given her general tendency to overestimate her own intellectual skills?And even though the writers have made the point before that the way English is taught in Japanese schools is terrible? Because, let's think in-universe for a moment, where would Ami pick up English fluency if not in school? She's not been to English-speaking coutries, as far as we know. She doesn't like video-games, doesn't seem to like films. She does read books, but I don't think she'd be the kind of teenage girl who'd go for Dickens or Shakespeare either. I think we only ever see her read textbooks for school and occasionally romance slop. The internet doesn't exist yet on a larger scale and what there is is not the interactive web 2.0 we know today. So if the writers don't think that schools teach you English, they'd obviously also think that Ami's English must be flawed at the very least.And do you really not find it curious that they'd "luck out" by giving the canonically fluent character the most common line a fluent person would pick in that situation, and give the one who excels at cramming school-English for tests a line that misses its purpose narrowly by very significantly, while also sounding way more complicated than what the fluent character picked?I guess it's possible. But I also think you are underestimating the writers. All it took was for one single writer in their team to actually speak good English and volunteer for that scene. I imagine they even discussed as a group how each girl should respond.
