Well it really doesn't, even the dialogue itself had some american slang, but I still take it as a positive improvement. A step at a time?

I would be too surprised to hear a Japanese VA that can properly distinguish english accents... Hell, it's rare itself to hear a Japanese that can speak english well in even one accent.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, I'm from the UK so maybe that is it, one of the better starting episodes of a generic moeblob/loli show for me.

This was the first anime in a long time to show images from other country than Japan


^ That's what i was thinking too.

Let the Japanese read a little of their own subs xD
And the English wasn't so bad like in the most other series.
This SoL series looks very promising. Going to stick to it from now on.

I had to laugh when she said dessert and it sounded like a place instead of the food. XD
The Engrish was sooo cute.
I think I'm going to die of cuteness before this anime ends.

Love it when I see fans are so quick in identifying the locations where the anime took place. And I heard the staff actually went to Britain to find the background scenery for the anime!

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I was not prepared! I was not prepared!!! It was Ikoku Meiro no Croisee all over again!! Though, I think it took both Alice and Shinobu to equal Yune's pure HHHNNG.

Was a little disappointed the setting didn't stay in England, but I'm still looking forward to more!


On the English, anytime there wasn't an R it was pretty passable, though awkward. The thing is, those moments remind me very strongly of what American dubbing sounds like. -_-;

First of all, awesome animation and quality. 2nd, now that's wat I call proper English. Japanese can do it if they try. 3rd, cute and interesting girls. 4th, reminds me of ikuko meiro no croise(Which was great)

Hello!
Konnichiwa!!!!!!!!!!!!

xD

Now, it's her turn to visit Japan and I am glad that the quality didn't drop at all. Awesomeness. I like all of the characters but I have a feeling that the taller blonde is going to be my most favorite. Shinobu is a close 2nd with Alice just there.

9/10 :D

I have no idea what I was expecting when I came into this but so far i LOVE IT.

The English was surprisingly good, only real flaw was that she called dessert desert, but other than that it was pretty perfect.

Best part has to be them leaving each other and shouting "HELLO!" in their opposite languages, I couldn't stop laughing at that, especially the way they made it seem super serious.

So far this has the potential to be a great anime, hopefully it will continue in this direction :)

P.S. How long has it been since Shinobu left and Alice joined her? To me it seemed like a VERY short amount of time for her to have picked up the language so fluently, is it meant to have been a year or two?

So another anime ventures in to the U.K! Needless to say, I enjoyed it very much! The atmosphere is so comfy and the characters are a joy to be with. Some of the faces they pull remind me of A-Channel which is a good thing.

It's great that Alice is in Japan now but I really would have loved more scenes in England in the super-widescreen format with the two girls trying to communicate to each other. That was charming. The scene with Shinobu saying goodbye as she left the U.K had me very emotional. The actual english-speaking was pretty good too. So far, it's cute girls done right and I'm looking forward to more of this. Very strong start.

Ohmygod. I nearly died laughing.

Dat Hello!! Konichiwa!!!! yet they are parting ways. LOL. Also it's so weird to hear a massive amount of English in an Anime. It was really hilarious. Don't even know if it was supposed to be dramatic or what. The interactions were really funny, damn. That Alice girl mastered Japanese so quickly. I guess she studied it everyday 24/7.

Will continue watching :D

Oh, and btw laughed out loud when the MC said her name is Omiya Shinobu and not Dear Shinobu XD
