Blue Lock
Who would have thought people who dont’t speak english as their first language are gonna be bad at speaking it |
| Well, I guess English was a native language only for the English player's VA |
| Is this the first and only anime you've ever watched? Lol. Literally the only good English speaker was the international player from, you guessed it, England! Crazy, right? Though I gotta give props to the English player's VA, I was expecting to see a Western name in the credits but when I double checked, the VA's name was in kanji. So it looks like they found one of the better English-speaking Japanese VAs. And he even seemed to do a decent British accent lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| really disapointed that everyone just had japanese accents smh, but that is the regular english japanese va you get in anime, great pretender was an exception on that aspect. I still remember the awful english in psychopass 💀 Also this animes tend to be productions made mostly in japan jorea and china, so yea they ain't going out of their way to go get a proper accent va for everyone xd, its jarring to see someone supposedly form argentina and have not a single shred of a spanish accent tho. |
| Of course that was intentional, you could tell that only the Brit spoke without an accent. The other players came from Spain, France, Brazil and Argentinia, they tried to make it sound a bit different. |
| Well the bad english voice acting will be entertaining at least lmao |
| Still better than the top down CGI. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

| There are several fluent English-speaking anime voice actors living in Japan who would've done an accurate job, but I guess the studio didn't want to pay their fee...? |
Imoogi26 said: I agree, plus its not that deep..just roll with it man, stop hating. they're Japanese va, allow it |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| The only bad English was the Brazilian guy. Rin's was fine and the Europeans was spot on |
| How much more money can it be to hire some freelance English VAs on Twitter? I bet some of them would be ecstatic at the opportunity to voice a character in an ACTUAL anime, even for just a few eps. And any English VA can fake a French, Spanish, etc accent so, so much better than Japanese VAs can. Most Japanese VAs' English just sounds laughably bad. |
| It’s also possible the voice director requested they speak with a Japanese accent, to make it easier for Japanese people watching to understand. There was a radio show or interview for Devilman Crybaby (that I cannot find anymore) where Ayumu Murase said they asked he act with a “Japanese accent” while speaking his English lines (despite the fact he speaks English fluently) so it was easier for Japanese speakers to understand. Like others have noted, several seiyuu are fluent in English or speak it really well, but most of them don’t really get a chance to showcase those skills outside of events/radio shows. Nevertheless, Ucchi’s English was really good 🫶🏼 |

| I have no clue why so many people are reacting as if this is something happening for the first time. |
 |
| For once, I thought the characters' english was good : they are supposed to have an accent and don't sound Japanese. It's a win to me. |

| well sorry that most japanese people are not polyglots like OP. if it's your first anime, that's how it mostly is. JP VAs have that accent while speaking other languages, since they pronounce the words how they're written in Katakana. And no, they don't hire English voice actors because the whole show is supposed to be in jp and targeted towards their native audience, also quite a hassle to find/bring over an English voice actor. |
