Jerman.

LOL I think his seemingly overdone accent is so funny :rofl: But I think it's mainly due to his character... old perv that he is lol. I wasn't sure if I should laugh or get freaked out on the episode where...

ROFL... well, as a German I havte to say that Stresemanns manager was much much much worse. The worst unintentional parody of German I have ever heard... I mean Chiakis German was much better (I can even ignore the accent) and he did not pretend to be blonde :hehe:

What. Elise wasn't really blonde....I'm shocked ;)

I thought all Japanese had blue eyes.

"Old perv" is a perfect description! :rofl: Oh, can I read the spoiler if I'm only up to episode 4?

Haven't got to the manager yet. I'm looking forward to it...but also I'm slightly scared. :mrgreen:

What about Chiaki as a kid? I thought when he spoke English he had somewhat of an American accent. Did anypne else notice this?

Being an American, no. :beaten: :hehe:

What is an American accent? :beaten: :hehe: :rofl:

Heh. I'm awful at differentiating American accents. I know there are tons of different accents - just like in any country, but I can't tell what area most people are from. :sweat:
So all I can say is the young Chiaki had an American accent when he spoke English. :mrgreen:

I suppose he lost the "accent" since he had to move back to Japan with his mother when he was young and reverted back to Japanese...

I think that's not uncommon: I had a cousin who was born in SoCal and he moved to New York (Brooklyn, to be exact) when he was about 11/12, then when I saw him ten years later, he had an unmistakable Brooklyn accent.

Scary. :beaten: :hehe:

Is the Brooklyn accent really so bad? :hehe:

Keps wrote:Is the Brooklyn accent really so bad? :hehe:

It is when it's coming out of an Asian face. :beaten: :hehe:

My sister-in-law has a cousin from Texas and she has that Texas twang in her voice... Wild... But she's really pretty, so it's tolerable. :beaten:

I'm guessing you already read my spoiler...? :mrgreen: If not, you can read it. It's not really an unexpected twist of event lol.

About the manager, I really can't tell with the accent (no experience with German). But I think she can relatively pass as a westerner, albeit the blonde wig.

I don't think so... :beaten:

She was SO exposed in the SP too...it was hilarious.

And I agree with daiango--Tamaki's German is WAY better than hers!! lol it's hilarious and kind of pathetic--but in a funny way.

She's one of the most, if not the most, irritating character in the Nodame universe... :bleh:
