I never understood why Japan doesn't just use foreign voice actors who speak Japanese for foreign characters. The English/whatever would be good, and the Japanese would sound realistically foreign instead of being flawless as it always ends up being.

Probably pretty well versus most ground units. Most of the exaggeration in 40K comes from the sheer strength and survivability of many units, so korosensei would have no issue taking down a space marine or ork boy.

like >>121016782 says, the difficulty comes from the magical and psychological parts. I have no idea what a psyker could do to him, but I wouldn't bet he would turn out fine. Seeing as he has a weakness for women, at least to a degree, a slaneeshi demon could certainly get close enough to take him down.

It's probably Koro. Girls tend to like those kinds of designs, while guys tend to take it as a sign that the work is geared towards girls.

That's fairly common. Another problem with hiring people who speak Japanese and English very well is that the people whjo write the lines don't really understand other languages, and voice actors have little say in the content of their lines.

In short, you can speak perfect English, but if the person who wrote your lines wrote shit English, you are stuck with speaking shit English.

If Japanese watched an American work with horrible Japanese, their message boards would be flooded with "ow, my ears", "terrible Japanese", "is this supposed to be fluent", and "how hard is it to learn basic Japanese grammar and pronunciation before utilizing Japanese", too.

It's a natural reaction to incomprehensible shit being portrayed as anything but incomprehensible shit.

It's also undeniably pretty lazy and/or unintellectual on the parts of the staff. Doing it wrong deliberately is what you call "treating the audience like morons".

They could pull any white person off the street in Japan and it would be better.
Even if they don't speak english.
And since she's not even english, it'd been fine or as expected of a woman that knows many languages.
The japanese tongue is not trained well enough to speak like a white person.
Either know how to speak a bit of english, or don't do it. One week of some jap bitch cramming the sentence "You were incredible in bed" doesn't cut it.
Some of the worst engrish I've heard in a while.

Nah, its training from a young age NOT to be able to say certain sounds correctly. If you never use a TH sound (For example, its not used in Korean I believe) when you were a kid, the tongue is unable to properly form the motions. Its extremely difficult to teach an adult to use a sound they've never used before. Possible, but it takes a LOT of practice on their part. Tutoring dozens of different japanese/korean people trying to learn english has taught me not to try to correct pronunciation as much as grammar
