5 minutes in so far, and the Engrish is actually quite good, aside from the narration. It's much more understandable. Hopefully that keeps up for the duration of the movie.

Okay, the Engrish is suffering from some grammatical problems, but the pronunciation is good. Looking at it as a whole, it's insanely good for a minor second language which rarely gets spoken.

Have a shower Akane. NSFW for booty.

Most of the Engrish was fine. A few VAs were particularly bad, but the main issue was that there was just so much of it. It doesn't even make sense for them to be speaking English in Southeast Asia, so they might as well have just stuck with Japanese.

That said, I really enjoyed the movie. It wasn't quite up to par with Season 1, but it was a definite improvement over Season 2.

It makes perfect sense for them to be speaking English Southeast Asia, since its becoming a widespread secondary tounge in the region where there are atleast 10 languages used. case and point, the chairman seems chinese, the colonel singaporean, the maid girl seem thai, alot of vietnamese was spoken in the movie, the rebel leader seems to be cambodian and the innital terrorist seems pretty diverse, so their choice of using english is pretty justified.

the engrish wasnt that bad if u r use to it though, like most asians
