I love the Engrish characters in anime, which i've seen in
Lucky Star - Patty
D.N Angel - Mio Hio
Sketchbook ~full color'S~ - Kate
Karin - Winner Sinclair

any good anime that has a notable funny engrish speaking character in it?
comedy,romance,slice of life prefered.. no mecha or high action anime, but you can mention it anyway just in case =P

thanks

Ichigo Mashimaro's Ana takes the crown for best English character in a slice of life/comedy.

2nd season of Genshiken has 2 of them. Not exactly engrish, one only talks in english and the other one just spouts random anime quotes.

Not as high caliber, but Di Gi Charat Natsuyumi Special takes place in America, and the whole point of it is the Engrish character

Beck also has tons of random engrish thrown in out of nowhere, though it's not comedic basically at all.

Well, the joke is how she is so perfectly Japanese (while not wanting to be) so she isn't really an "engrish" character. (notice the r in engrish?)

Karin has a really annoying one: Winner Sinclair

The Teacher from Azumanga Daioh (Yukari/Yurika/?) has some good Engrish jokes, since she is an English teacher, early in the series.

There is an entire episode of Excel Saga that makes fun of Engrish as well as the popularity of Anime in America. In fact, Excel will often simply sproute useless Engrish phrases for no apparent reason throughout the entire series.

Colorful, an ecchi vignettes anime from 2001, has some great Engrish jokes scattered throughout. Specifically, a busty English Teacher that is trying to teach two of her Japanese students how to pronounce their L's and their R's. There aare also two American exchange students that speak in horribly formal Japanese (They always say "Watashi wa..." or formal phrases such as this), that are pretty funny.

cool cool. i've actually seen Karin aswell, but forgot to mention.
(added to list)
keep on coming with suggestions!

Even though it's an action show, I'll mention Black Lagoon which features a female Chinese-American protagonist, Revy, who often speaks in Engrish. In fact the OP itself is in Engrish. Her two piratical companions, Dutch and Benny, are also both Americans, but they don't lapse into Engrish with the same regularity as Revy.

fallenangelash · 2008-04-07, 21:59

yeah, i'm looking for the ones that speak and just throw in a few english words here and there.

The English teacher from Great Teacher Onizuka likes to throw in random engrish words in his sentences.

Gokujou Seitokai and Karin.

BECK Great concept, good singers and music, Engrish off the scale.
