Adam's VA did sound like a British guy and Rin's VA did a very good job as well. All the others just sounded like the average Japanese person trying to speak English. I don't think I would've minded all that much if everyone's accent had been equally heavy, but since that wasn't the case... it just felt extra weird to me. Especially the Brazilian guy who didn't sound like a Brazilian at all (I am Brazilian)...

I think it’s because they’re trying to mimic the different accents. And since u have Japanese VAs, while speaking English, trying to imitate someone from another country that speaking English with heavy accents, what u get is barely comprehensive

People complained about the accents, but I thought they were pretty alright. 

I'm a Brazilian, and I think the Brazilian dude was all right. Sometimes it seemed like he was talking with a full mouth, but some pronunciations sounded like those I've heard some people say. We give more focus and intonation to the vowels though when speaking broken English.

I also speak Spanish somewhat fluently. The Spanish player's accent sounded almost Italian actually. The words might not have come quite right but the rhythm, almost like singing, was good. I could imagine a Spanish person from the northern part of the country talking like that.

And the British guy was spot on!

I think north Americans are overcriticizing the VA's English, they def put way more effort than the typical broken Japanese 'engrish'.

Yes, sometimes English speech in anime sounds funny.

It was bad, but not terrible. Felt genuine to me. Which doesn't turn their ingrish in to English, but I'm content with it.

Hey there! I noticed that too. The English at the end of episode 23 seemed a bit off, but it's possible that there was a specific reason for it. Sometimes creative choices or storytelling techniques can influence the language used. It might be worth exploring if it ties into the plot or character development. And if you want to improve your English and pass IELTS, I suggest you use https://practicalielts.com/ielts/ultimate-ielts-guide/. I hope that helps!
